***Mission: Hell's Gate***

[USRanger]

Introducing the lastest installment of my map/mission misadventures, "Hell's Gate":



Here is the custom map you will need:
RngrCove Map

Map contains:
Full custom terrain
Non-default and Custom Skins
Custom Muzzle Flashes
Custom Ships by Croduh
Custom Explosions by Croduh


The mission: Hell's Gate

Mission Group contains two missions:

Widow Maker
A Japanese port on a nearby volcanic island has been causing major grief for the American Pacific forces.  It's time for naval air forces to take it out.

12-TBMs
12-SBDs
16-F6Fs
8-F4U-Ds

Bushido Blues
Spotters have eyed a large American strike force on the way to the port of RngrCove.  Japanese air force must intercept the attackers and prevent them from destroying another Pacific foothold.

8-Ki-84s
8-Ki-61s
12-A6M5s

Recommended Arena Settings:

It is highly recommended you change these arena settings in-game prior to starting the mission(s).  To do this go to Clipboard->Options->Arena Setup->Evironment->Arena Settings.

Change GroundAutoLethality(Armored,soft and hard) to 0.001
Change PlaneAutoAmmoMult and PlaneGunAmmoMult to 3.00 (3x the ammo)
Change ViewModeFlags to enable External Fighter

To play the "Director's Cut" version, change the sky to a gray color as in the picture above.  Really sets the ominous mood.

Good luck and enjoy.  Any problems, let me know.  Merry Christmas.

A few more things.  The battle will start over the port, then the Americans will circle the island counter clockwise, the Japanese clockwise, to collde head on for round 2 at the north side of the island.  So if you run out of bad guys at the port, head north.

I also recommend hitting Alt-I once at the start of the mission to change from AI names to plane type.  Helps to tell who you should be with.  Your flight leader's icon should also be a different color from the rest for easy finding.

Downloading now.

[Ponyace]

Hmm, thats weird.
My computer wants to download the file as a .WMV file. Any ideas I can do to fix this?

[bobtom]

When I play the American mission it ctds right when it says cleared for takeoff. I was using the f4uD flight. (second from top)
EDIT: It does the same for f6fs.

[lagger86]

There is a folder called "hells Gate" that contains custom sounds. Move that to your missres folder in AH

[bobtom]

I have. He is right on the fact that the sounds are not working. I have vista, which is probably the problem. I will try on our xp.

[lagger86]

I have.

weird, it works for me...I'll let someone with more computer knowledge field this one.

[USRanger]

Is AH on your C: drive or another?  Btw, I don't know jack about dealing with Vista.

[bobtom]

Yeah it is on C. I have never had this problem with my missions, but they do not contain sound files.

[Ponyace]

Alright, Never mind
Was able to download it.
Great job, Ranger. 

[bobtom]

It works on the XP. Thanks Ranger....Awesome mission!! It was worth the wait.

[USRanger]
