PW bans all use of his work without permission...

He even yanked his terrain from EAW itself while it was still in use until they understood that...

Thanks Zephyr, Hotshot, and all you guys here.

I started using the old JKPFA 4.55 lib and have three missions created so far. I think I'll make the switch to the beta - hopefully the existing aircraft/objects I used won't be a problem. I spent hours researching military information for the campaign so I hope you guys enjoy it. I've put in about 4 weeks work (time permitting) and so far and only polished three missions. Time to go back and re-engineer for the new lib I guess. :-)

I created a few custom Airbases in Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova. It's got a relatively current feel with their existing militaries, but the campaign has a bit of an alternate history with some cold war assets still in service.

I've been inspired by P.Mok's old CIS missions and the storytelling used, so the campaign focuses on mainly three central characters who fly for each air force with detailed briefings about the political situtation and day-to-day affairs of their life in their respective air forces. Moldova doesn't exist in the list of countries unfortunately (could this be a future lib addition?) so I used Romania as the owner for those assets since Romania and Moldova have (historically) pretty close ties to one another.

If I may be bold enough to ask for the addition to Moldova so I can use Moldovan assets in the campaign that would be exciting to me, even though their role in the overall story will probably be somewhat minor.

I made a quick mod adding Moldova to the game:

http://farc.3synergy.net/libs/FA_Moldova.zip

Moldova replaces Bahrain, and adds the Moldova aircraft roundel. See the readme for more info. Back up your FA.exe. My modified executable is based on the FA No-CD exe, so don't have any FA disks in a drive.

You had also requested MiG-21 Lancers. My main computer is temporarily out of service so I can't release a new version of my lib, but I can release a small lib which adds the Lancer-A and Lancer-C:

http://farc.3synergy.net/libs/FA_JKPFA_Lancers.zip

They will have the same file names in my main lib so you can build them into missions with no worries. Just put this .LIB file into the FA directory alongside my regular JKPFA. When I release a new JKPFA with the Lancers included, this lib can be deleted.

Let me know if you encounter any problems or want any changes.

Zephyr

What is wrong with your main system?

Anything I can help you with?

Video card broke, luckily it was under EVGA warranty, and they sent a replacement. Geforce 8800GTX is long out of production, so I got a little free upgrade, and a new Geforce GTX 260. 8) It arrived today, yet to install it. :twisted:

Needless to say I highly recommend buying a video card from a company with a good warranty, a lot of cards produce a lot of heat which eventually means failure.

Yes you have to monitor that and monitor the cooling system for that card... My GEForce card also died a few weeks ago, but I was lucky enough to find a stash of "new" older cards so I did not have to replace the motherboard...

Thanks Zeph, I just downloaded the libs.

Sorry for the late reply, I got really busy before Christmas and wasn't able to work on my FA missions that much. I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.

I'm in the process of re-doing my missions for the new latest JKPFA lib. There are a few objects that were changed and I need to go back and redo my missions :-(. No worries though, I'll just edit the mission files and replace the old objects that don't exist anymore manually. I'm hoping to get the first 5 missions done soon (end of Jan is my target date) and I can send them to you guys to try them out if you'd like.
