I'm working on a Mini-Campaign which is a WIP.
The campaign will cover the period from March 1917 to May 1917 for 60 Sqn. RFC. I'm using many sources for making custom missions including:
Osprey Aviation Elite Units (41).
Bloody April, Air War over Arras, France, 1917. Playbook.
Bloody April, Slaughter in the skies over Arras by Peter Hart.
Here is a sample of the 2nd Mission (beta).
On March 1st, 1917, you arrive at the aerodrome at Filescamp Farm, France, assigned to 13th Wing, 3rd Brigade, Third Army (see partial area of operation map below).
Due to heavy losses in the battle of Somme, the German army is making its planned withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line. Allenby's Third Army is in a position to launch attacks to the east of the Arras area. 60 Squadron RFC will perform artillery spotting, photography of opposing trench systems, troop movements and gun emplacements which is essential to aid the army’s planned offensive. For the troops on the ground to be effective they need the support given by 60 Sqn.
One feature of this campaign has young British pilots with just a few hours of training flying inferior aircraft and facing the German veterans and aces.
2nd Scenario on March 6, 1917.
Your N17 will be equipped with a camera to take photographs of the area around Cambrai to uncover hidden artillery positions. The information you will bring back is very important for the preparation of the upcoming offensive. Failure is not an option.
Success: Capture 5 photos of artillery positions around Cambrai from 3,000 feet (use screenshot and z key for altitude). Photos must be brought back to your aerodrome for processing.
Failure: Did not reach own aerodrome, Photos taken higher than 3,000 ft, wrong area photographed.
If successful, you can proceed to the next mission. Otherwise, you get 2 chances to try again (one at 1200 hrs, one at 1600 hrs).
NOTES: You are the flight leader and will not be able to use autopilot to fly this mission. If you do, your plane will only takeoff then land again. I suggest you use a map and plan your route.
This is the beta version of the Mission file which you can download and copy into \OBDSoftware\WOFF\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\missions\scenarios\Britain
Then select any British Pilot and fly under Quick Scenarios. Good Luck!
You can download it here
EDIT: Made with the help of JJJ's Mission Editor.

Thanks HarryH.
I've updated the mission file with a minor fix to Jasta's scramble orders.
Also, if you're not sure what to photograph, here are a few suggested areas that are located around Cambrai....

Welcome to the modding group RAF28Jenkins. The more modders, the better.... IMHO.
Small update to what I'm working on....
Some of the features I am adding to each mission can be easily done since this is a limited campaign. For example, in stock WOFF when an Ace joins the British, French or German side for the first time (i.e. not a transfer), they are set at Ace level of flying even though they start out with zero kills. I am able to lower their skill level one notch to veteran until they reach Ace status for this campaign. I can also lower all British pilots down to rookies except for few known Aces which go to veterans.
Also, I can make enemy (and friendly) AI that are assigned photo/artillery recon missions to fly at slower speeds and at lower altitudes (around 3,000 ft or so). While I can also keep the AI bombing missions at above 6,000 ft. I might consider using a few other mods like Panama's airfield MOD, Balloon archie MOD, etc....
Having the ability to adjust each enemy and friendly flight characteristics provides for a refreshing way to play WOFF.
Stay tuned for more features later on.....

Sorry guys do you mean this thread? http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4237905/Scenario_Missions_MOD#Post4237905If it wasn,t showing its because it only shows you the last 3 months by default i believe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Miserable weather, low over enemy territory, alone.... and then you get set upon by no less than four DIIIs!! I managed to fend them off for a bit, but eventually lost my engine and had to put her down. Apparently I escaped and rejoined my squadron! Great stuff OldHat! H
