The Big Show - Spitfire Mk.IX Campaign info

I see you have a thumbnail of the Biggin Hill layout. Are the runway directions historically accurate? I ask because I'm currently making airfields on the Normandy map as templates via the use of Suntsag's great mod, the Marstan Mat.

 

Hello 352ndDeacon

Are you saying that you're making an airfield Biggin Hill to appear in the Normandy map installation?

When I got the Normandy map I thought it was a disgrace that Biggin Hill was not on it! I wrote in to say so too.

I was toying with the idea of volunteering to create one (including the roller-coaster runway :surprise:

Just bought the campaign and on first mission after 20mn of flight trying to climb 25000ft I had engine cut off ...(I used auto start of so normally no soucy) why ???

 

Also does it exist kneeboards for each missions gathering info given in the briefing as well as check lists?

Was your fuel tank pressure switched on?

Just finalized the 1st sortie of this great campaign. Initially I wanted to fly the new Mossie campaign first, but wanna try out the new Normandy Map in one of your campaigns, so why not this one directly after BewareBeware, perfect fit. And happy to be back in the spit cockpit.

Thanks for this amazing camaign. Happy to spend my time with it in the upcoming weeks 🙂

Cheers

Hey @Reflected, I've read that you're updating the campaign to make better use of Normandy 2's updates. I've been wondering: how much work would it be to make or allow the player to play as wingman, instead of lead?

I'm perfectly aware that my question touches an ancient and painful weakness in DCS's mission design 😅 I'm curious about your take on the matter.

It's perfectly possible, in many other campaigns I made the player flies as wingman. However, to do this in The Big Show, that's a redesign from scratch nearly so it's not gonna happen.

Hi @Reflected I am a big fan of your work, so thank you. 
 

I just wondered whether there is any updated briefing documents for the big show channel map version? I like to pre-plan based off your briefings for fuel etc. but I’ve noticed that the knee board info is correct but the briefing docs are for the normandy map. 
 

I appreciate you have a lot on, but just wondered whether you could provide the course / heading and timings in some form so I can plan. 
 

Thank you again

See 2 posts above. I hope Ugra will finish the map soon. 

So to confirm, you’re waiting for Urga to update the map and then you can update the Big show campaign?

Yes, basically. 

👍 I’ve played your Beware Beware twice through already. The second time without any deaths (so far). Looking forward to flying the missions on the big show from Biggin - I’ve got so used to flying home to Biggin on the hill. Thanks
