Posted at SimHQ some earlier.
But I forgot to post them here too.
Anyway these are screenshots from one of the new campaigns in the works for The Last Days addons.
_ Note! : I have included two versions of most skins. The marked one and the unmarked version. Accidentally I selected the marked one for my own kite @ the arming section. So therefore you see the double markins. However in campaign modus you will not see this. Except for you own kite if you select the marked skin. I noticed this when I was resizing the shots._
!I should not forget to mention that we all have to thank Torn88 as well. Because he has also worked on this campaign.

Note : I accidentally posted it at the PF board.
That's why I am reposting it here.

I assumed two weeks but I said that three months a go as well.
Quite a nice miscalculation on my side.
This mostly because I wanted to create the highest level of detail. But I forgot to notice that the Crimea map has 30 airbases.
And for me to do an af costs about three to four hours.
Plus the fact that the targets are also very detailed and in large quantity.
So quantity + quality takes a lot of time.
Plus the fact that there is another surprise in town that you can consider as some kind of bonus or gift. 
But I had promised X1 software it to be done before he came back from holiday.
(I already am working full days on TLD.)

No not for a 100%.
But yes partially.
It is also something improvisional because of the engine of IL2.
I could have come somewhat closer to realism but then even the fastest available pc at this moment would not have been able to run it.
Plus it would take me another year 
However this is very close to what it would have been like.

Note : The template file I am working on for this campaign already exceeds the twenty thousand objects.

Well I think the bases as you have them are outstanding...and it really shows the ability of the FMB as well as the variety of objects available and how to put them to good use.
As our PC's get stronger, we will be able to populate these maps to the hilt and max out ground combat all the while that we are dueling it out in the virtual sky above...sweet.

Tankeriv - I saw some screens of your addon over at Simhq that dissapeard in that thread because of "bandwidth exceeded". Was there shots of some P-80's in camo lined up at an airfield? I'd realley like to take a look at those again.

Thanx - I'm a big fan of 1st generation jets - I'm crossing my fingers that the VVS 46' addon is made available to all of us (Yak 15's/Mig 9's?).
