Name Gladiators
Short A Homage to Bi-Planes.\n
Description This pretty much is a tribute to the era of the bi-plane. Between 1940 and 1942 the bi-plane saw the end of its days as the principal fighter. The monoplane design was about to come into its own and the era of the Bi-plane would be gone. I was doing some research one night on the Gloster Gladiator and the Fiat CR 42. They met in the Mediterranean during 1940 to 42. It is believed that this is one of the last times that bi-wing aircraft met in battle. Old Red Baron players should enjoy this one as it harkens back to the ol' fur ball dogfighters of a few years ago. To have a blast go to no cockpit (ctrl F2) after you go to the planes cockpit and before the Fiats get there.\n\nEnjoy,\nCapt Backasswards\n

Yeah. I realise people are coming into the community all the time and the first time they see a mission posted without it being a zip file then it probably throws'em a little. The first time I saw one, I scratched my head for a moment but someone had posted good instructions that helped alot.

Yes that's probably a good idea especially for new people who might not know the history. When I first got this sim, I knew a little of the Russian Front history and alot about the Western front. But I have learned a lot about other countries and planes that I had very little knowledge about before flying this sim.

This Gladiator mission I set up as a British mission since this kind of combat happen early in the war when the British were in the Med. near Italy. Malta to be exact.

To answer your question: I created a folder in my United Kingdom folder called - Gloster Gladiator - and put it there.

hope this helps,
Rick

another example is: I just posted a Spitfire mission where US pilots are flying Spitfires. I created a folder in my US directory folder under missions called: Spitfire LF MK Vb 42 since this is a US Squadron flying Spitfires with US markings.

I d/l'd this mission last night and flew it.

Excellent!

After getting shot down the first few times I figured out that I need to extend the takeoff leg to the east for a bit and gain some altitude. Then the squadron could come down out of the sun.

Nice!

Thanks,

Johann

Horrido!

Thanks. I'm getting better with the mission maker the more I play with it.

It is a fun dogfight. Kinda makes me wish we had a real good Mediterranean Map so we could make an early war campaign there.
