This is meant to be an historical campaign, based on the carrier battles of the Battle of the Eastern Solomons (22-25 August 1942) and the Battle of Santa Cruz (25-27 October 1942. I named the campaign “Desperate Battles” because at this stage of the war the US Navy was fighting uphill. That is, they had fewer resources than the Japanese, in many ways inferior aircraft and less experienced pilots. In both battles, the Japanese are the attackers and the USN has to fight a defensive struggle. The dates, times and locations of each engagement (mission) are as close as possible to the actual ones. Ship names, locations and courses as well as aircraft numbers and types are as accurate as possible. Attack angles and targets are set up to give historical results, but you, the player can change history (slightly). The campaign consists of various missions; recon, strike, defensive and land based as well as carrier based. Random chance plays a big role in the numbers of defensive aircraft and in some cases, whether or not a target will be there at all. Call signs and aircraft skins however are not historical. Carrier task forces are set up to sail into a 15 knot wind on takeoff and landing. Using the alternate dps provided for the Usio ships and the FDG alternate files for US aircraft should make this campaign even more realistic and challenging.

An historical (with one "what if" mission) battle history of the USS Saratoga throughout the course of WW2. The player will find himself flying a fighter, divebomber or torpedo plane in randomly selected missions. Also, he may find himself randomly flying as a wingman, rather that the leader of the flight of bombers (but not fighters).

This campaign is a mostly historical commentary of the World War 2 exploits of the USS Essex. The US and Japanese task force compositions, ship names, dates, and most locations are as accurate as possible. In this campaign, the USN is on the offensive. Out of all the actions in which she participated, I chose a good, representative sampling of the major engagements of this great ship from her first action until near the end of the war in the Pacific. Random choice will have you flying either a fighter, dive bomber or a torpedo bomber or maybe as a wingman.

Mission - World War I Duel of Aces 1917 - Guynemer vs Osterkamp. By John P Fortin (aka Polar_Lion) Its about the day Guynemer spared Osterkamp's life. Georges Guynemer was already a french ace with almost 50 confirmed kills. Osterkamp had only recently become and ace. Guynemer isn't credited with this victory due to the lack of witnesses. Even though Guynemer was alone during the duel, for the stories sake, you will be flying wing for Guynemer. You will be flying a SPAD S7 out of Bergues Bierne, just south of Dunkirk. The fight will take place over Roulers.

This is the full 106-mission campaign about the black pilots of the 99th Fighter Squadron, 332nd Fighter Group, known as the Tuskegee Airmen. This set of missions start in North Africa in 1943 beginning with their arrival at Casablanca, Morocco, and ending after just over two full years of combat with the Tuskegee Airmen flying over the remains of the Third Reich and Festung Europa. The missions are as close to historically accurate as I could make them. The majority of the background information was taken from the outstanding book: "Black Knights, The Story of the Tuskegee Airmen" by Lynn M. Homan and Thomas Reilly. I have had to omit some of the actual missions conducted by the Tuskegee Airmen just for brevity sake. I have also taken some creative liberty where limitations of CFS2 would not allow for total accuracy of mission building. For this, I apologize to the original Tuskegee Airmen and the authors of the book.

Included in this file are: 1) The complete Japanese campaign mission files including GPS coordinates for carrier/bases and operation coordinates that you can access in mission. 2) Three separate and renamed planes from stock with GPS and auto pilot gauge windows added. 3) All associated gauge files 4) Minor tweaks to the flight model to make the 3 main Japanese planes perform according to their classified performance specs (slightly above their published specs.) 5) Slight improvements to the AI characteristics of your wingmen. 6) easy installation - just drop the file to your game folder and everything goes where its supposed to go and nothing that you have to download.

This is a quasi historical, 16 mission campaign, encompassing the World War II battles in which the Saratoga participated – from 1941-1945. I say “quasi historical” because there was so little information about the details of her engagements. Exact locations and composition of strike groups were extremely hard to find. I tried to keep the amount of downloads required low, but most were unavoidable with all the changes in aircraft and ships over time.

Welcome to the South Pacific. You will find yourself flying 19 missions here in a fighter, dive bomber or torpedo plane in some of the toughest battles of the Pacific war.
