Can I have the .wma of the songs. They are cool. I love that music. Also, I just need a copy of the .res. Not the mission done different.

It says to put the thunder folder with the .wav files in your missres folder.............there is no thunder folder in the zip file. The only thunder anything is the op.thunder.mis that goes in the mission folder.

You put the mission's .res file in your missres folder?  Double check.

[sonic1234]

yes i did but its still not showing up

This sounds like exactly the same thing that is happening to me (but I with my Solomon and Hollandia missions; I haven't yet tried this one).

[sonic1234]

The solomon mission is nice on the current version without warp points  its also funny watchin the bombers split s
into a dogfigt, you dont see that everyday 
But anyways, I really liked this mission (even though i havent played it)
Hope we can get it fixed

Sonic1234:

Please clarify for me. I can't get my Solomons mission to play for me under the current version of Aces High (2.20 Patch 3). The mission never even shows up as available. Are you saying that it works for you with V2.20P3? Or are you referring to an older version of aces High?

Yes, the Solomon mission works on the ,most current version of Aces High (ver.2.20 p3) just put the .res in the missres and the .mis in the misstemp file the terrain is solomonc put it in the terrain folder

Thanks Sonic.

It's working now. I don't know why it didn't work before. I couldn't get the mission to show up at all. Today, after downloading the .res file again, it just showed up. I can't think of anything I did differently.  

To clarify: You need only download the .res file. No need to download any ".mis" file, as that one seems to be built automagically the first time you run the mission. You can get the required .mis file here:

I just stored that "solomonmelee01a.res" file in my "missres" folder. At that point, there was NOTHING in my "misstemp" folder, but the mission showed up as one of my "offline missions" choices. I was able to fly the mission. After that, I saw that a file named "solomonmelee01a.mis" had been created in my "misstemp" folder.

Further important items:

1: You will need the "solomonC" terrain, which you can obtain here:

2: The computer-generated planes aren't very smart. They crash into the ground a lot. They were much, Much, MUCH better in Aces High 2 Version 2.13.1.  That old version continues to be the best one for flying offline missions (and it properly supported warp segments too).

3: When you first start out in a P38, you'll be parked very close to a cluster of new trees that were never present in earlier AH versions. If you try to just taxi forward, you'll hit them, even if you try to turn away from them very hard. The only way I could turn hard enough to avoid a tree collision was to shut off one engine and goose the other, allowing my P38 to almost spin in place.

Ya I was wondering the same thing. They will fly defensive right into the ground or mountain what ever you can find. Most missions are like this. I tried a Ruins Rumble flying the P 51's vs the 109's. With out firing one shot I was able to scratch 2 flights.

I also had this problem LOL. The first time I just cut hard left and put on the left brake, with out cutting power to the left engine. I was able to make the turn with out hitting my wings. However, my elevator did not do so well. I did hear something tare off when I made the turn. I looked back from the outside view and all looked okay. When I hit 100 knots and pulled back things started to go very wrong. At first I just thought, she is just a bit heavy from the load out. Lets give it one notch of flaps. By the time the flaps started to come down I was at about 120 knots. As they got to the first position the plane did a complete loop, then landed on its tail. I only wish I could replicate this in a dogfight some how

NICE!  I can imagine that were you killed? or did u have to abort the mission?
oh and by the way bbosen your right  I personally choose to fly the F6F (I love that plane but its so big and heavy  )  so i dont have that problem except when i fly the P-38. Very nice mission by the way
