Gentleman,
Thank you, a fantastic campaign/ addon.
I made a fresh install of the game for this. I have way to many planes now, hence the delay before trying this one out.

Now I was never in Korea (or any other war for that matter,  something I would like to maintain) but the first mission looked just like the films told me it should! All that was missing was Hawkeye and the Radar from M*A*S*H !!

I have only one slight issue.
Some of the scenery and planes are real frame rate killers. I was down below 10fps at times. The mission requiring us to fly escort for bombers attacking a bridge was a problem. Every time I turned towards the bridge, however far away it was, the game turned into a slide show.

The Migs and all enemy planes were fine once I turned the graphics down a little but the US bombers were also a little hungry.

As you will have guest I don't have the best system but I'm usually ok with the graphics down around 3 - 4 on 800x600, 16 colour.

I was generally flying the separate missions last night so that I could try and tweak my settings to allow smooth play. So I now can't wait to try the whole thing out as a campaign.

I've not flown jets before. Those sabres are a whole world different from props. Great guns though. I do like seeing the opponent disintegrate before my eyes  Grin Once I had got the hang of not turning too tight and got the airbrakes mapped to the joystick there were MiG's falling out the sky all over. And as for the enemy bombers. What a duck shoot Grin Grin

All in all FANTASTIC. And a real, great change from the props.  Brilliantly made. Can't wait for more!

Anyone fancy flying on-line with the Sabres?
Might be best once the Mig's are ready?

 

Don't shoot me!!

Thanks again to all for the feedback. We're all pleased as punch that most people seem to like it. This was an ambitious project & it seems to be working out well so far. We only found one little bug so far which was soon fixed.

Kevib. Thanks for your kind words. We've had a few comments on poor frame rates in some missions. We did our best to keep it frame-rate friendly on even low-end rigs. My own machine is a PIII 800, 512 Mb RAM + Voodoo5 5500, running on WinMe - hardly top of the range. LOL
I've not experienced a problem with frame rates so far with any of the missions. The aircraft are all FSDS2 which tend to be better in this respect than the older designs. The AI Only drones have been stripped right down to basics. They're not multi-LOD which would have been better but taken too long. We've already spent 6 months getting this thing up & running.

One other bug has raised its head which I can't figure out at all. It seems my S-51 rescue helo is causing problems in the German version of CFS2. I would obviously like to track this down & fix it if possible. If anyone is having a problem running mission 2 please contact one of us from the Fox Four Contact page.

PS. Above problem fixed thanks to the efforts of a German tester. The DP file in the S-51 folder is incorrectly named S-51 AI.dp. Rename the file to KW S-51 AI.dp. That should fix it. Thanks Otto for finding this bug.  Wink

Aircraft without their own DP files should use the default DP. This seems to be a bug with the German version of CFS2 only.
Non-German users having this problem might have deleted the default DP file by mistake. This is not uncommon. Look in CFS2\AIRCRAFT for a file named default.dp. If it's missing you found the problem. Renaming the S-51 DP file as above should fix it for our campaign.

PPS. Fix posted here. http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2kwupdates.htm
