Download the above mentioned file and place in your Addon-on Somalia/Campaign folder. Overwrite existing file.Gentlemen, our Mafia Team is excited to release Somalia for latest version of 4.37. Big thanks for EGHI who originally built the terrain for BMS. I want to give Demer928 a huge shoutout. It was his tutoring that allowed me to transform the raw theatre into a winnable campaign. I also want to give Eddropper a huge thank you. These theatres are no way my own work alone: they are a huge collaboration of authors, some unknown who have freely provided material. It is Ed, who does the magic and incorporates this work in the theatre so that I have the amazing base to make my campaigns shine. Finally, I want to give a tip of my hat to CCC, Mike Rivers, Thoarek, Nikos and many other unknown contributors to the theatre.

My god, it is like Christmas morning today. -
@Chuckles
The long wait is over… for this one too.With best compliments and regards.

I appreciate all the work that goes into a project like this, by all the contributors, Cheers to the team of developers that brought us this new theater and challenge

I’m concerned that all this development will be for nothing if/when version 4.38 makes all these theatres incompatible. Have the BMS devs given notice to theatre developers ‘on the side’ that 4.37 theatres will work in 4.38???

Both Eddropper and I are part of the BMS Team. The BMS Developers very kindly invited us into their team some time ago. This allows us to get our theatres working with each, successive BMS release. As long as we have the time and the BMS folks give us access to the inside material, we will keep our theatres compatible with the latest version of BMS for the foreseeable future.

Hi, SoBad. I’m glad you asked this as it’s something I’ve been wanting to share. Keep in mind that I can only speak from my and the OFM perspective. However, we have discussed this, and that’s why we’ve been pushing so hard to get these theaters out.
We think that we could, if needed, put the OFM "spin"on Theaters made from the new database. So, OFMKTO, etc. would we think be doable. However, Theaters like Somalia would need to be remade.
You seem to be asking if this work is worth it. For us, that is a yes. First, we feel a loyalty to these “old” theaters. Secondly, we enjoy doing it( yes, we’re nuts ) Thirdly, we do not know when 4.38 will come out. -

I’m interested.

@SoBad Hi, you’ll have to excuse my use of colloquialism, I tend to write that way . The OFM started when 4.35 came out. Some of the Hornet cockpit hotspots stopped working . We fixed that and during that time one of the BMS Devs came on the Forum hoping some “Third Party” would come along to help with the development of what I call the Other Jets(ie: not the Viper). So, we did.
So, “OFM Spin” is simply the refinement of OJ flight models and cockpits. We are also part of the Theater Development Community. -

Hi, after I boresight the Maverick with TGP I am not able to handover from TGP to Maverick seeker. It displays all the time “Handover in progress” and does not finish the handover.
I can reproduce only in Somalia theater, same in KTO works fine.
