I was just curious on when the next MTO was going to run. I know that a lot of guys don't like them but it would be nice to have one here pretty soon...? Maybe for a new set up use the Sicily Map with the early planeset that is used in Libya?
If anyone can help me out making a map for an MTO setting, I could use the help...

i will help if ya need me.
drop me a line here (renoairvirtual@yahoo.com)

ok stream elevation files are finished email otw;)

I gave serious thought to doing a MTO setup on friday. But I could not make one of the exsisting terrains match the planeset I wanted to use so I decided to pass. I would still like to figure something out in the future and an Italy/Southern France terrain is high on my wish list currently.
It might be a good idea to consider putting new mapping projects on the back burner till AH2 debuts. I would worry about putting a lot of time and effort into a terrain and then have it become obsolete before it could get much play time.

What would the planeset be? I'm guessing:
P40E
Hurri IId
SpitV
A20
Boston
Bf109F
FW190A5
Ju87
Ju88

we are making a terrain for eastern italy as we speak.

Actually Squire had a good planeset but I can't find the post on here...

Italy January 1944

P-38L (stand in for the P-38J)
B-26B
A-20G
RAF/RN
Spitfire IX
Seafire (CV based)
F6F (CV based)
TBM (CV based)
Mosquito VI
Boston III

MC205
MC202
Bf 109G-6
Bf 109G-2

That looks like that would be a lot of fun Squire, on either side.

Yup, but it might be wise to substitute the Spit 5 for the 9.

The Seafire is a Spit IX right? OR is it a V?
Why not give the FAA the F4U-1D or F6F instead of the Seafire? Didnt most FAA squads have USN aircraft? I know they had the Wildcat (Martlet), Hellcat and Corsair but I dont know much about the RN squads and how many had each plane.
-
Nevermind, I looked it up on Netaces and the Seafire is a V.
-
Seafire is a Spit V, yes.
.
I added the F6F to the RN as well. They had it from Dec 43. Alternatively, it can also replace the Seafire.
As for the Spitfire IX, well, no, we have plenty of setups where its left out, and some players like it too. The CT isnt just for everybody else. Whats wrong with the MC205, is it broken?
-
I dont mind the Spit IX or the F6F. I also think adding the C205 would be apropriate in an Italian setup.
-
Squire, that looks similar to the planeset I was trying to put together for this friday but without a terrain to run it on. If we get the Italy terrain in good order I would give this setup a serious look.
-
New Guinea and Italy, we need them both.

205 didn't work out too well against the 9s in the Egypt-Israel fight, but never mind, I give up. We'll just see, I guess.

Looks like a nice set up. Do we have any RN skins for the F6F?
-
Actually what I was thinking as a planeset was
P-51B
P-47D-11
P-38L
B-26
A-20
I will have to some research on the RAF
109G2
109G6
110G2
190A-5
190A-8
Ma202
Ma205
Ju88, and 87
I am trying to make a new map of Eastern Italy, Austria, and the Czech Republic

Buzz, didn't get the email... if you used the one off the site... I no longer use it... got a virus from it.... email me here: Stream (colonelstream@comcast.net)

If you wanted a P-51B you could do that, as a Spring 44 setup. The RAF is not complicated. Spit IX, Mosquito VI, Boston III. No Typhoon for Italy, Hurricane II is out of service.

That is what I was shooting for, Spring 44.... The 325th was based out of Lesina, Italy (March '44 -March '45), that is what I was trying to base it off of...
-
That Greece map is a great map, I wish we used it more. A "Allies invade Yugoslavia" Spring 44 would work well too. Setup as above, it also has 2 CV grps.

I have maps of all the Italian bases scanned in from "Courage Alone" if you want them.
Also, have all the schemes for the Italian flown German AC. Some of those might be fun for teh sknners amongst us.
