Well done indeed, John!

Kev, this will probably be as far west as I go, it's a natural endpoint for anyone wanting to recreate 5th AF's campaign in PNG, & its another long stretch West to get to Wakde...Originally Posted by kdriver
Well done John! How far are you going? It's only another 665 miles to Sorong.
The most interesting parts of the Air War in PNG can all be recreated once I release this, assuming someone wants to that is, and a large part of the RAAF's contribution can be modelled using the same sceneries. Missions after the JAP AF's annihilation at Hollandia can get pretty repetitive a series of mud moving trips or barge busting missions, with very little air opposition....
Anyway, back Eastwards the Admiralty Islands chain looks like a good candidate to rework next. This would complete the isolation of Rabaul ...
Someone definitely does!Work is in progress.
Thanks for all these beautiful sceneries, John!
I agree John. MaskRider covered Dutch New Guinea pretty well in any case.
Manus and the other Admiralty Islands are a good choice. With Hollandia out of the way, I think that will leave Palau as the only location where CFS2 stock scenery still survives.
Thanks Skylane - that's welcome news. I have been intermittently modifying existing missions out of Port Moresby to suit John's Moresby airfields. However, I haven't made a start on the targets, such as Lae or Buna.
Keep up the great work both of you!
My son has been working on a mission when Enterprise was sent to Hollandia to give air cover for Mac Arthur.

Just finishing the gsl work...
Comparison with OOB CFS2...
Note how Rhumbas mesh improves things.
Why MS thought Hollandia strip was close to the town's location is anyone's guess...
Tami strip was East of Humboldt Bay. Never used by the Japanese, the US finished it & used for resupply missions to get round the logjam at the beach-heads.
They unloaded at the mouth of the Tami river (off to the left of the pic), trucked them to Tami Strip & loaded them onto a shuttle of C-47's flying into the first runway the Engineer's got working at the Hollandia strip complex
A couple more - Hollandia town & closer look at the Humboldt Bay area
Looks amazing UncleTgt; thank you for all your beautiful work.

Excellent!

Anyone making missions for Hollandia will need some aircraft wrecks ...
I followed Allen's lead & plundered the stock Oscar model as the basis for an IJAAF fighter wreck. mLOD & 3 different damage/wreck models for some variety.
Still very much a WIP
This is Allen's 109. Couldn't find any textures for it and I'm not a painter. Slapped a few decals. made the exhaust texture look better to me anyway. This is a Heinz 57 Unit meaning it looks good but nobody flew this thing.

A few pictures of UncleTgt´s Ki-43 wrecks. Here´s a row of parked planes at Wewak:
And here, the same planes turned into wrecks after dropping some parafrags on them:
Skylane: nice B-25! Where did you find her?

That looks to be one of Tango’s B-25s. It should be available over at Simviation.
Yes, it is one of Tango Romeo´s B-25s, available on Simviation. Filename aftr_hbandhnm, the package contains two very nice planes.
Got em! Thanks.

Still messing with wreck models...
That looks exciting! Secretly I have always wished there were more shipwrecks for use im my missions!
