Thank you :) Got the files and there are many that I didn't have so enormous gratitude to you. I particularly like the crew spreadsheets.

I'll consolidate everything you and Timewarp2 have given me together with what I already had and will get a single zip made available for others to download.

Many many thanks again.

I can also contribute mods if it would be helpful.

I have my own archives, plus everything from Taff's dropbox and Godzilla1985's mediafire.

Regarding "improved rosewhite.psd" - I also have this file stored alongside my old b17 files, as well as a now-dead link to the forums titled "B-A Forums - A Rose for you..... Doc's Compass Rose". I have it alongside all the target photos provided by v7th recon - I think it was intended to be used as an overlay for planning an ideal course for the bomb run. I have vague memories of holding a protractor to my screen to try and better adjust the waypoints for the approach.

Also, don't miss:
rafert.org/B-17

Still intact website with downloads for a whole bunch of skins, along with bomb group changes (MOD1 that I have above, but also MOD2 ... MOD7) and edited versions of scripts.omf to change either the start date or the number of days between missions.

Hello,

is it possible to get the dump of the reconn photos?
Thanks a lot.

The v7th Ops website that hosted these has been down for years. Fortunately, the Internet Archive has them amd you can download them individually from here :

[url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030624095852/http://glewis.net:80]https://web.archive.org/web/20030624095852/http://glewis.net:80[/url]

Or you can download them all in a single zip I created from here :

Unfortunately, the Internet Archive backup of these recon photos only has the small image version for the Halberstadt Bomber Factory!

Thanks a lot!
