No specific reasons. They came to my mind as such and used them.

Re: RELEASE - Into the Halls of Valhalla
So, people? Has anyone else finished the campaign and care to give me some feedback?

I don't remember using that. Perhaps I have.

Perhaps PenguinBomb was temporarily down. It works for me.

Re: RELEASE - Into the Halls of Valhalla
 :bump: (If it's not okay then you can  :beamz:!)

I finished it a few days ago, and I must say I enjoyed it immensely. I had a few problems, but nothing too serious. Only one was to do with actual missions, in the one with the pirate prisoners being transported, the Argo got blasted by a beam and the cue for the escape pod was not fulfilled. (One of them was that I had to edit the ship table because the Apollo was emitting the subspace rift sound.). I really liked how the player was actually part of the story, and not just some onlooker.

Re: RELEASE - Into the Halls of Valhalla
Has this problem with the Argo happened once, or as many times as you played the mission? I tested the mission far too many times, and was pretty sure that the final stage of the mission was flawless.

Re: RELEASE - Into the Halls of Valhalla
Just once, I thought it was terminal so I used cheats to get past it. (Took me two times, first time I let the Argo get to the Installation.)

 
Re: RELEASE - Into the Halls of Valhalla
Just to say that I'm really liking this campaign so far. It's nice to have the player take on a character with a name and some history, and have chatter occurring between your wingmen, who  seem to have their own personas. That's something that I felt FS2 somewhat lacked. Adds a lot more to the atmosphere.  :) :yes:

Trying out the campaign but stuck at the first one. I get the directive to return to the outpost hanger, which is that big round hole in the Arcadia right? Nothing triggers while I am inside it and I cannot engage my jump drive. What gives?

FS2 Open 3.6.9

No. That big hole in the Arcadia is the big hole in the Arcadia. The fighterbay is a different story and you can find it with the subsystem targeting function (target the Arcadia and hit S until the fighterbay is targeted), then just fly in there once you've found it.

Hold on, I'll upload it to Useful Stuff.

Edit: Here.

Re: RELEASE - Into the Halls of Valhalla
Thanks, Lobo.

As for the download: if it's down, then it means PB is down. Keep trying. If it remains down for a days, let me know. Last time I checked it worked.

Former squadron leader of the elite 70th Blue Lions doesn't know the location of the fighter bay in the Arcadia.  :D

Oh, there is this mission "Hostage Drama" involving a medical ship in the form of a Aeolus. When asked to scan it, that thing was plastering me with flak and blob fire (the marines' Argo wasn't). Was that supposed to happen? I nearly got killed but accidentally flew into the gap between the rear engines and fuselage and survived to do the scanning.

This campaign is supposed to be preceded by a demo campaign called "Police Action" or something, but I can't find it (the link on the OP leads only to the actual campaign).

I think I remember the damn bugger firing on me as well, when I was playing the campaign. Maybe it isn't supposed to do that. Maybe it is. In any case, if you managed to accomplish the mission, be happy. That's quite enough.

See if it's available on Hades Combine.

Re: RELEASE - Into the Halls of Valhalla
The Aeolus in Hostage Drama is supposed to fire on you. If I remember correctly, I included a message that says something like "Watch out for the turrets!" If not, then it only remained an intention. In retrospect, it doesn't make much sense to have the cruiser fire on you. Imagine that the gunner notices the approaching fighter, and instead of warning the boss, he starts firing. Let's just say that intelligence is no strong suit for gunners.

Police Action and ITHOV were/are hosted at PengiunBombs. So if PB is down, you have to look for a mirror. Let me see if HD has a mirror... [EDIT] Yes, it does. Both PA and ITHOV are hosted at Hades Combine. See first post for links.
