NETSCAPE Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 I rarely fly fighters. I fly Luftwaffe. But if I'm going to keep making content for this game I need to start familiarizing myself with the Soviet aircraft one by one. I just started looking into the P-40 on the eastern front and have an itch to purchase it. It's a possibility it might happen. I mean the thought of 6 .50 cals and the German bombers seems... zesty. 1
BlznSaddles Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 For what it's worth I'd love a P-40 campaign as well. It may not be the "best" fighter but it sure is fun to fly. I love the cockpit layout and the 50's. 1
OrLoK Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Its great but I never seem to be able to get any power out of it in MP so a less stressful scripted campaign would be great for me to get used to it. Id love to have one. Im finding it great as a ground pounder though.

Id love to have one. Im finding it great as a ground pounder though. Exactly. I LOVE the MC.202 too. If I made a campaign for that it obviously wouldn't be historically accurate so I'm not sure how much of a turn off that would be to people..
1PL-Husar-1Esk Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I would like to play MC.202 scripted campagin for sure after exelent Sirens of Death :-) I love to play underdog plane :-)

If you fly it on easy mode it links the throttle and the prop adjuster together and it doesn't do a very good job of it. You need to fly it like a Spit... put the prop adjustment to manual, then adjust to 2600 RPM and use the throttle to maintain the level of boost you want. This is for continuous mode, adjust for combat and emergency. When the throttle and prop are linked it gives you too much RPM and not enough manifold pressure. Don't mean to offend you if you know this already... it isn't really a powerful plane to begin with anyway.

Gambit21 Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Originally planned on releasing my upcoming "Havoc Over the Caucasus" A-20 campaign in a P-40 version as well...however I learned a bit more about the time-lines/service dates/locations and realized that would be extremely non-historical...(but fun) It would also require more work than simply converting to an IL2 or Pe-2 version, which will happen for sure. Nothing needs to change for the IL2/ version, however if you're flying a fighter then you'll behave differently/engage the enemy fighters rather then trying to get out of Dodge so quickly, which needs to be taken into account in the build/logic...so a bit of work. Changes in triggers, subtitle messages...timing...do I keep the escort flights, etc. So a bit (or a lot) more time investment on top of the initial build. You'd be flying a P-40 in a fictional squadron specializing in ground attack...not sure how many people would want that. I take a lot of license with the A-20 campaign itself as it is, since it's just necessary for a variety of reasons for a 1942 campaign, including where the map covers. (historical bases are further north out of the map area) So a P-40 version, while wildly non-historical...there might still be a good reason to make it happen. With lots of truck convoys etc, two bombs and those .50 cals, it should be a good time. Still demand is a question, and if time investment to convert would pencil out. I'll get the A-20/IL2 (Pe-2?) version finished an go from there, maybe solicit a few more opinions on the matter. The build is already underway using the Pe-2 as a temporary stand-in. 1
Mika_87 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 After few year what is situation now? I tried to find P40 scripted campaign without any luck. I would like to buy P40 on sale but without campaigns I dont know what to do with that plane.

For Tomahawk, I recall only a few missions from this campaign. She is without translation. But believe me, this is a very good campaign. It’s worth someone to take up the translation. https://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/8380-курсант/ 1 1

But I have to find it on one of my cloud storages. I will report back tomorrow evening 1
Mika_87 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Thank you both! If there is english translation on campaign with atleast few P40 missions I will buy the plane on sale.

The campaign plays really nice. But be aware, the english trans. was made by me via google. So it could be funny to read from time to time. ? 4 4

Falcon41 Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Semor76, I've downloaded the campaign and have enjoyed it even when I had to "interpret" the mission description; however, when I got to mission # 39 all I got was a black screen. Any idea what might have caused this? I've gone to the ME but haven' t figured what could be wrong.
Jaegermeister Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 If you have verified that there is a player plane selected, try converting files in folder to binary. It’s probably trying to load an object that has been removed from the program.
Falcon41 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Jaegermister, I’ve done both with no luck. Any other ideas? Falcon

Since it’s an official campaign I can’t create another version and release publicly. Even if I had the time to convert, add more enemy fighters, adjust the attack logic to account for air battles in some missions etc etc. If we get PTO then the P-40 will get some attention at some point from me, even if not first thing. Having to figure out how to squeeze it in is a problem I’d like to have at some point.

I installed and resaved the campaign and ran the first mission, I taxied around the runway never going over 20 kph, parked in my original position and got Mission Failure, what am I doing wrong? are there other things I need to do for success?

You may mistook Pe-2 's parking ground with i-16 's (which is yours). My guess you should taxi further forward, to i-16 parking ground, then you should receive subtitle message (congrats, mission complete). FYI there is a chain of check zones along the way, so if you cheated mission won't count. BTW. Are you playing the version with all objects on Moscow map being updated in their height? Cos after recent update (where whole Moscow map was reassign to a new heights map, about 50 meters higher/lower) I had to edit each mission on Moscow map in this campaign but I never shared yet. I do know some people already edited this campaign this way. So, wonder.

I went to my I-16 parking place, I'm using the campaign you posted earlier in this thread with the English translation, I had to resave it for it to run so it is probably an older campaign without the Moscow map fix I really want to play this one, loved your other work Can you share the updated version? I'll buy you beer and pizza at the next IL-2 convention Edited October 2, 2020 by WM_KMS 1
samson Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 The best a can offer right now the version of Kursant campaign which I'm testing this days. Some missions are missing (I have some technical issues with them) but overall playable. Here 1
