Fps fine on my machine, even with objects and land battles. One thing I like is the 'big war' feeling. After i went dry on ammunition mission 10 i flew back to Hawkinge via Dover. There was a tank battle which i circled and watched. I got hit by Aaa from Dover. Oops, idiot. Another time, maybe mission 20, i crash landed near Canterbury and sat and watched as 2 Stugs rolled past, then a British Cruiser which hit them from behind. (The things you see when you don't have a Panzerfaust! ) Too cool.

If you 'look under the hood' using FMB you can see land battles scattered over the front, independent of air action but adding to immersion. You could delete these and win some fps I suppose? But so cool after a dogfight to see smoke rising on the horizon, fly over to check it out, see some Brit emplacement under attack by Panzers or flak trucks, or maybe it was hit by 110s, you strafe it, and head home. You think you are safe and some Hurricanes jump you or Wellingtons hit as you land! So much going on...i loved it.

Maybe even I will fly the Raf campaign... Tho it would hurt!

This far exceeds anything shipped with the game.

Ps. I use these missions for coop with Banks_coop script, Brilliant stuff.
I am already looking forward to his next project:

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...ml#Post3553441

Circuses and Rhubarbs? (wot is a rubarb btw?)

I don't care because I will get to fly JG 26 and if it is like his Sealion stuff it will be Uber well researched.

Now if he included some Capt Farrell skins, that would be awesome.

How good do the missions work in coop? Did you have to adapt the missions for coop? My squadmates and I have tried to fly coop a few times since release, but it was always a major fail ...

a rhubarb was a type of low level attack on targets of opportunity by small groups of fighters (often just a pair) using cloud cover.
Part of the RAF's 'leaning forward' stance taken up after BOB

And a complete waste of good fighter pilots IMO.
