More WACO glider missions?

[Enceladus828]

Are there any community made WACO glider missions focusing on the resupply missions in Normandy after D-Day, as well as their use in Operation Market Garden and Varisty?

Not that I know of. I wish. There was a selection of missions for the Waco in the old forum, but I remember them being extremely demanding on my computer, to the point I could not play them on my reasonable system.

Nothing to do with D Day or Market Garden. Was meant to test your skills in landing a Waco manually near the Notre Dame, long before it got burned.

You'll need the Westernfront Map from Flying Circus 4 for Paris, https://www.mediafire.com/file/32xz9da7zj33mu5/Sous_le_Ciel_de_Paris_v6.zip/file

PS the UPS skins are on Haluter's.

Probably will take me forever, but lately I have been curious about WACO, so I have already made 4 missions of the future WACO campaign (pre-invasion training sorties so far), I plan to make 8 or 9 missions in total..

Hi Vendigo ... setting up a waco with a c74 the distance and height (airstart) is crucial to make it work. Spent hours figuring it out ...

I've been there! But after you figure it out once, you just copy/paste as many C47+glider couplings as you need!

Very good! I got to try a mission a very talented person made with the Waco, and had a lot of fun with it. That never ended up as a campaign, and I've been hoping for someone to do something like it ever since. I have myself been thinking of a short campaign, training in England - D-Day - Market Garden and Varsity. But it never came to fruition.

What is that mission you meniton? 

Actually, your list of missions is just what I am going to do; btw I plan to add a second mission at around D-Day+3 (as the US glider pilots were evacuated back to England and some of them participated in resupply missions again very soon, just a couple days after the D-Day), and also I want to add the ammo delivery to beseiged Bastogne..

A comunity member that prefears not to be named, but has a very good talent with the editor, sometimes let me try his missions.  He made a waco mission that was very impressive, especially how he managed to make it so that the infa try model spawned out of the waco during the landing. Looked really impressive.

Yes, this is also portraid in a list of missions made for the waco earlier, published in the old forum. Iv played them, good but the missions are barley playable on my computer.
