I have made a pack of CfC Malta Quick missions for the QMB. (UP3 only)

Go to my my mission folder in the Dropbox and "Copy" the folder "CfCUP3_Malta" from the Quick Missions folder then paste it into the "Missions/Quick" folder.

Here are some notes about the Malta missions:-

- They are based on the new Malta map with much higher resolution airfield textures showing filled in craters etc. (we will use this map from now on)
- Only SW runways (225deg.) are available at Luqa and Takali due craters. (Red crosses mark runways out of use)
- Due to restrictions imposed by the "two minutes to engagement", some of the bombing features particularly torpedo attacks will be poor (use bombs for attacking a/c)
- Because Sicily is 50nm away, these missions are primarily for flying "Red" with attacking "Blue" forces. (you will have a long flight home if you chose Blue.)
- Only "Scramble", "None" and "Armor" missions are available for "Red". The "Armor" mission is for red to defend the convoy arriving at Valletta so chose some Blue bombers and escorts on the Blue side.

Madame Fifi's Airstrip on Malta:-
- This is located on the SE corner of Malta in a cove to the east of the flying boat base (you will not have a runway symbol on the minimap)
- There is a camera at the airstrip and you can have a look around before attempting the "one way in" landing. (follow the ridge line to land on the easterly runway)
- Unfortunately,  Fifi has not been able to pay the rent for the land and the runway may have to be shortened soon. (A Sunderland carrying necessary supplies of vital pharmaceutical supplies was shot down and at the moment there is some risk to visiting the establishment....hence a poor turn-out and reduced takings)
