Take a look at attached pictures. This might help you. It is not visible on pictures but branched campaigns can have "horizontal randomization" too, I just didn't add that option there to make pictures easier to understand.

Branching is just a tool, it's up to you to decide how to use it. You can branch after every mission, you can branch the branch and end up with hundred branches or you can use branches to only spice up your campaign with few bonus missions for those who are performing well.

Not necessarily, they can always make linear campaign, branching is an option and depends solely on mission makers.

But what about joint ventures, if you write good story you can put several linear campaigns made by different authors into single branched campaign.

Improvements to DGen may be more worthwhile. Apparently the creator, Starshoy, was found and it's being worked on.

We are not in touch with DGen creators, we might try to contact them.

Rgr, found it.

I'm no mission maker, but a fully realized New Guinea campaign would get me flying offline, which as you know I don't do by and large.

The air war in New Guinea is one of the most overlooked, yet critically important campaigns in the entire Pacifc war. It was a grueling campaign that went on for 2 years or so. It tested the mettle of man and machine in a way that no 2 or 3 day carrier operation ever did, and it gutted the Imperial Japanese Army Flying Corps. It robbed them of their best and most experienced pilots and crews. It saw the operational introduction of their first "modern" army fighter, the Ki-61, which forced the US Army to allocate P 38s to New Guinea instead of other areas where their long range was needed as well.

And from my personal interest perspective, it was in many ways the "shining hour" of P 40 operations in WW2. The Curtiss Hawks served from the beginning till the end of the New Guinea Campaign with the USAAF and the ANZAC air forces, first primarily as a fighter then later it's capabilities as a very competent fighter bomber shown through.

Also it would mean someone would have to make a P40 N model for the sim... Hint, hint.

Updated P-40s would be very cool The P-40N, plus New Guinea, gives tons of options.

One of the main reasons I fly Aces High 2 (not that often now that 4.11 is out) is to fly the P-40N and F. The option of cutting her down to 4 MGs is a nice touch, cutting a little weight. I have always liked the look of the N canopy past the N-5 model IIRC. I fully fleshed out 'Kittybomber' would be nice too. P-40 was such an important aircraft in WWII, yet so underrated.

All this has gotten me started on a Blacksheep Corsair campaign. One way or another I'm going to put something interesting together for the Solomon Islands map. Been thinking about this for a while so this is perfect
