Where to Download Scripted Campaigns (for BOK: non-steam), given I have BOS (steam) and BOM (non-steam)?

[HugoDutchWineCape]

Gents - need some basic pointers/help,

And bit confused with the exact directory folders on my HDD WHERE to download some files, re: specifically the (free) SP Scripted Campaigns generated by forum users:

My problem to identify the CORRECT folders - and it's a bit confusing where to extract these free generated campaign (and 4K skin)  zip files, as I bought the following (in order) over time from Steam/directly from IL-2's website:

(1) I bought BOS (with 2 special planes) via Steam;
(2) I bought BOK direct from IL-2's website; (w/ the 2 special planes; how can one NOT have a Spit!)
(3) I bought BOM direct from IL-2's website

PS: All three modules (BOS/BOK/BOM) show in my "active module bought" in the start page  if I start the game via Steam's shortcut.

Now that I want to download a BOK free Scripted Campaign, in what directory structure specifically should I download the non-steam zip files?

I only see Steam's  .../steamapps/common/IL-2 Sturmovik of Stalingrad/ on my HDD -- and for the life of me, cannot find BOK/BOM's file structure (I have only 2 drives, a C (SSD Win7Pro sys drive) and a D drive for all other files...?

Hey Hugo,

 

You can put the campaign folders under <IL-2>\data\Campaigns, in which <IL-2> is your main IL-2 installation directory.

 

Make it such as you have for instance 

• <IL-2>\data\Campaigns\Taman Bridgehead-G6
• <IL-2>\data\Campaigns\JG51 over Velikie Luki

and so on, the mission files must be under those directories.

 

Simple mission files (not campaign) go under <IL-2>\data\Missions, no need to create a directory there but you can, it's a choice, directories are shown in the sim menu.

 

The skins files are to be put into <IL-2>\data\graphics\skins\<aircraft>.

 

I don't have the Stream version but I believe in that case, <IL-2> would be the one you mentioned, the structure should be the same.

 

EDIT: if you have the shortcut to the non-Steam version in your start menu or on the desktop, you can check its properties with a right-click, it'll show you the IL-2 installation directory (<IL-2>/bin/game/Launcher.exe).  You did install the non-Steam version I suppose? Others here may tell whether it's possible to migrate the Steam version to the non-Steam one, which would be the best option.

Ahhh, of course. Many thanks Sire!

as to the your recommendation ....
 "....possible to migrate the Steam version to the non-Steam one, which would be the best option."

That seems to be prudent. I'd rather support the producers of IL-2 directly, then via Steam - and any monies the latter "siphon off"  
I'm  a proponent in rather supporting smaller producers then big conglomerates

So, can any kind gentleman ( lady? ) here enlighten me as to how to go about doing just that; migrating all off Steam, given the sequence on BoX  expansions I have bought (above?)

Much obliged in advance.
