I am trying to contact Ron Lewandowski and Richard Steel on their netcomuk and barclays addresses.

I have reworked some of their missions to use in a new BoB pack, and now i want to ask them permission to upload them, but they don't answer my mails to them.

The readme file of R.Steel says ican upload them, so i guess that is no real problem, but that from R.Lewandowski don't mention anything over uploading, so i will have to write my own missions if i can't contact him.

Does anyone knows a way to contact them?

Hi Jaco

If you've made every attempt to contact the authors I would go ahead & upload your missions. Include acknowledment to the authors in the Readme & file description. If there's a problem they will soon contact you but I doubt this will happen.

To be frank, CFS1 is getting old now. Even if they're still involved in the hobby I suspect that most developers lost interest in it years ago & no longer support their older files. People tend to change e-mail adresses over time or move on to other things so it's not really surprising they don't answer your mail.

Howdy,

Richard Steele is probably the best, and certainly the most prolific, author of CFS1 missions around.
He's always made it clear that anyone can modify his missions and repost them if they wish.

I can see no reason why Ron Lewandoski wouldn't feel the same way.
He does say "any alterations you might wish to make for your own purposes".

As Hagar says, give proper credit to the original authors in your Readme.

If you have a new slant on Steele's "Finest Hour", "Eagle Angriff" and "Pilot's War" series and Lewandoski's "RAF 1940" please post them for all us die hard CFS1 fans to enjoy.

Most of the original Battle of Britain missions on the CD could use some modifying too.

had just an e-mail from Richard Steel that gave me permissions (i used the wrong mailaddress)

the readme of Ron Lewandowski's RAF1940 campaign indeed mention "any alterations...",so I believe that it is ok too

just do'nt want to offend anyone by using their missions while they do'nt want it, but i do'nt think it is realy an offence
I would'nt mind if anyone will use the missions i created (or the stock missions I reworked), as long as it remains freeware

Hurricane campaign will soon be uploaded; 64 missions,
but some of them have the same "basemission". The hurricane campaign will be easy if you compare it with the spifire that will be uploaded later (the spit also has more own missions).
Once I upload the spitcampaign i will also upload alternative campaigns that combine the two.
Hope your systems can handle up to 170 planes in a mission.

Thanks for the replies
