Resolute Fury Campaign Released

2007 Jul 31 – Resolute Fury Campaign Released

The long-awaited Saudi campaign by M@verick and Ripcord is finally available. In fact, it is still not 100% done, but the first half of it is, and since it is quite large (over 110 missions), there is no reason to delay the release.

This campaign was a first in many regards. It started life as the first ‘community-built’ campaign, with missions contributed by 4 or 5 different builders, but it quickly became a joint-venture between Mav and Ripcord. It is also the first (and to our knowledge only) campaign to incorporate NEW IN-GAME MOVIES using the TSH movie converter tool. Mav’s work here is nothing short of brilliant. And this campaign also makes some use of some other object editing tools that we have released most recently – or at least this is the case in the later missions.

It is, regrettably, a 92.5 MB download. Sorry about that. However, it is worth it for the new in-game movies. And this release contains only 58 of the roughly 116 missions that will be released, although the campaign MCF file is already built to accommodate them all. So the plan is to just let you guys get started, and a second mission pack will be released closer to the end of the year. All you will need to do is just drop them into the folder and keep on flying. There are still a few final missions to build, and many yet need to be edited… and unfortunately, the time is just not able like it was in the past.

Please note that, although the readme does not state that TSHv3 is required for play, Jane’s F/A-18 will most likely CTD if it tries to play a new movie file and TSHv3 is not installed. Please install TSHv3 before playing this campaign.
