Hi,

Any advice on the mission in the middle of the campaign when you need to patrol with La5FN and shoot down the two enemy planes? I manage to shoot down the first one but the second is incredibly hard I have tried I think 2-3 times.

 

Hmm, not sure. If you dont shoot them down the AAA will probaly end up doing it for you.

 

Are you having trouble catching up with them? are using the 2nd stage supercharger?

Hi J_M, just finished this excellent campaign and really enjoyed it. It has a good variety of missions that got me flying planes that I haven't touched much, so a great learning experience too. I managed to complete most of the missions first go, but did get fatally ambushed once or twice! And got hauled over the coals for disobeying orders... ?

Thanks very much for your hard work; love your missions and campaigns.

Cheers ?

Campaign finished, kudos to Jade_Monkey for a great campaign. I'm again and again surprised on what you guys are able to create for this sim! Escorting the deserter, mission 15, was an excellent example of how flexible the Mission Editor seems to be. Amazing sim, amazing team of developers and amazing community of campaign creators. I'm speechless.

Can anyone please explain why I have a padlock on my version of Red Tide?  The game opens into the first mission opening page, but then cycles round the opening page and does not proceed.  The padlock on a campaign usually signifies you have to buy a premium plane included in that campaign gameplay, but that's not the case here - I have the 109 G-2!

Mike, you need to own U2VS, Ya-k7B and La-5FN2. All of them. The first mission is U2VS.

Thanks,

 

Yes you need those planes and BOK (implied in the Yak7).

[Mike2945]

Apologies - my confusion.  I was referring to the  'Chir Front' campaign.  Red Tide is fine ( a great campaign - many thanks Jade Monkey!

Jade,

    A question regarding your campaign.  In flying the escort mission of B-20's attacking enemy shipping the flight gets to the attack zone, but never attacks, just circles and then returns to base with a mission complete ending.  My question is, was this done deliberately, e.g., not being able to find the enemy shipping, or was this just a "hic up" in the campaign.

     By the way I'm enjoying the campaign very much and particularly the variety of missions.

This mission has been a nightmare to troubleshoot, I've received similar feedback and reviewed it multiple times. 

I have not been able to find out why it happens to other people, it's definitely not the expected behavior.

 

I'll take another look.

Sounds like the AI is not finding targets within the attack area. Maybe it’s set to ‘sphere’ and above the German units?

In my case the B-20's were circling without the enemy being spawned at all. I have posted a more detailed post few months ago in previous pages.

[Falcon41]

Jade,

     I don't know if this will help or not; however, I flew into the target area leaving the  B-20's behind and the German ships were there.  After a few strafing passes German planes showed up.  The B-20's never entered the target area although when I signaled my flight to "do as I do"  they entered the target area and engaged the German planes.  Hope this gives you some insight into the problem.

Thanks, that should help.

 

I am taking a long break from IL2 so I won't be looking into it immediately.

 

In the meantime you can progress through the campaign by taking off and landing again.

Updated for patch 4.502

[King_Franky]

Wooohhaaaa... what a ride with "Red Tide"!!! ?

 

This campaign is a really gem. Different planes, very athmospheric and compelling.

 

Thank you for your great work, Jade_Monkey! 

[Sandinourcoffee6]

Great campaign,enjoyed it a lot ?

[Jade_Monkey]

Updated for 4.601

[Madov]

What a fine campaign this turned out  to be. I experienced no trouble with the A20 bombing mission against the enemy ships, they flew very low and sank a few and I was able to stay high and protect them from the LW fighters. As a VR pilot I had serious trouble with a couple of the missions with the game engine going into 'slow down' and this was solved by opening up the ME and reducing the head count of twin engine a/c.

[TAIPAN_]

Just finished this one, @Jade_Monkey you've got some talent. Even 2 years later it still works perfectly.

 

I like the last few missions the best, was a great ending.

[reve_etrange]

I've been replaying this campaign again in the latest updates. I forgot just how fun the missions, and they've actually improved over time as well, with all of the AI updates, etc. The excellent "patrol in the clouds" mission really benefits from the new clouds for example. Thanks again @Jade_Monkey!

 

For anyone wanting to play in the latest update, you can fix the missions for this or any other campaign very easily using Power Shell and the Mission Resaver program:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles"
$files = Get-ChildItem "C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\Campaigns\Red Tide\" -Filter *.Mission
foreach ($f in $files) { .\bin\resaver\MissionResaver.exe -d 'C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data' -f $f.FullName }

Hi Jade_Monkey,

I managed to save them in the following way. First I do a resave of the entire folder, then I close the editor and resave each mission separately by opening it. In mission 6 the Bostons don't respond to ships, but I managed to piss off the German air cover and have some fun with it.

[bigarren]

Hi,

 

Thank you for the campaign. I've got a problem trying to play. When I start the campaign it doesn't appear any name and the campaign doesn't start. Can you help me? Thank you so much!

 

My version is 4.601. I put it into English but the issue doesn't solve. I have all addons needed (Kuban and the soviet planes)

You probably have to bring the mission files up to the current version by using the mission editor resaver.

 

Open the mission editor, and then select the option below and provide the folder with this campaign.

 

It will take a few minutes and then it should work.

 

 

P.S: That is an interesting username ?️‍?️

[bigarren]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

 

WOOOOOOWWWWW

 

You are big, dude..... IT WORKS!

 

Thank you so so so much!!!!!  

 

PS: Bigarren is in basque language... it means "The second" because "The first", Lehen, was already taken!

You can use the mission resaver tool in the editor to bring the files to the latest version: See four posts above for screenshot.

If the trigger waypoint with ID 14479 is moved in the editor to the left into the conditional blue circle, the problem with the A20 disappears, and they begin to find and attack the convoy. But after the attack, they then do not return home, despite the text about their return, but continue to circle over the ships.
