A South Korean or South African F-51 campaign could be interesting, but so far I haven't found much information on these units.

There is some good information here: https://samilitaryhistory.org/vol043pm.html

Probably more if you type in "2 Squadron SAAF Korean War". I just looked at the first page of results that were returned.

I suspect it's more of a game bug than your mission, but the first time I flew it, all 3 of my wingmen overrev'd their engine immediately and it seized up.  The 2nd time, everyone took off, but 20 seconds later one of them bailed out and I saw their prop wasn't spinning.

 

edit:  another 20 seconds, and another one blew his engine.

 

2nd edit:  another 2 minutes, and my last of the 3 wingman blew his engine. 🤣

It's a game bug introduced in the 0.002 update. So far no info from the devs when they plan to fix it.

Just had a game breaking error.

Every time I get close to one of the F-51s, I get these messages.  one pops up; I hit ok.  Then the other one pops up, and I hit ok again.  over and over forever until I end the program.

Never had this error. Does it also happen in generated mission?

I think it happened once before a few days ago, but it's rare.

 

I just tried for a 4th time, and it didn't happen and the mission played out fine.

If it can be reliably reproduced, I would suggest to make an official bug report.

yeah I've been making a lot of bug reports the past week.  Unfortunately I don't know how to replicate it; it just happens randomly.  I thought your mission was going to happen every time since it happened 3x in a row, but then it stopped.

Thanks! Looking forward to cockpit photos too!

Now that the Yak-9P AI is working again, I've updated the mission in the first post and added a second historical mission to the zip file.

The new mission took place on June 20, 1951 and was the largest mission flown by the North Korean Air Force since the start of the war. If you want to avoid spoilers before flying the mission, don't read the historical background information in the mission briefings.

And here a link for those who would like to fly with the correct background soundtrack:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axzREp7TBys&list=PLZalkR9yzvmm1tp6vul2Nq9nqPtgTtwK1&index=3

The playlist features musical masterpieces like "Peace is on Our Bayonets", "Our Arms will Never Show Mercy", "When the U.S. Imperialists Attack, We'll Kill Them" and of course "The Dear General Uses Warp".

Did anyone fly the new mission, what were the results?

I just tried it. My laptop (slightly below minimum specs) couldn't handle it and I suffered major time dilation, which is a real shame because it turned into quite a fun furball.👍 Helped by the time dilation, I shot down 6 Imperialist Mustangs before the Sabres even showed up, and the IL-10s gloriously devastated their target. The Great Leader can be proud!

One small issue is that when I switched it on Autopilot a little after takeoff, it tried to turn back to the first waypoint. It's possible I missed it after takeoff since I flew manually; it's probably better to assign the next waypoint depending on the location of the IL-10s rather than on reaching the waypoint.

Sorry, Juri.  I've been busy with campaign mode.  It's on the list of things to experience.  I have enjoyed your work on GB, though.

[Juri_JS]

All 14 campaign missions are ready, but need some further testing. In some cases I am still not happy with the AI behaviour.

I am also working on the campaign images. I am trying to achieve the worn vintage look of old maps and early colour photos.

 

[Juri_JS]

I am also experimenting with AI generated north korean style propaganda posters for the campaign.
