SpitfireIXE and Me109G14 single Missions from DFLion

[DFLion]

Attached are my first 2 Single Missions. The first is a Spitfire IXE Mission based on 443  Sqn 127 Wing RAF flying out of Le Culot, Belgium. You will be flying against II/JG77 Me109g14's. The second Mission is reciprocal, you will be flying against 443 Sqn Spitfires in your Me109G14 from II/JG77, based at Krefeld-Linn.

In both Missions you can place your aircraft on 'autopilot' and watch it taxi out and takeoff with your Section or Staffeln. Watch out for the flak and the weather and Good Luck.

Both these Missions are semi-historical, if you have the book 'Wing Leader' by Group Captain Johnny Johnson DSO DFC, refer to pp 273, Chapter 17. Unzip the zip files and place the folders into the 'Missions Folder' in the game IL2 Sturmovik, Great Battles.

Hi,

I have played the mission SpitfireIXE VS BF109G (playing as allies).
First of all, great weather configuration, most of the time I was not sure if its raindrops or enemy tracer fire, and overall I just love to taxi my plane in a rainy condition, dunno why.
Lets get to the feedback part (yeah its me again..)

1. Waypoint 3 does not trigger unless you fly through it very closely, this means that the next waypoint wont trigger too. I would change it:
    a. Set a wider radius of the waypoint3 (and other waypoints).

    b. Put Trigger zones so if player misses the waypoints it will still trigger the next waypoint, or at least, put a one trigger zone when you enter the battle area.

2. Enemy planes do engage in combat but after we kill the regular ones, the ace just runs away and continues patrolling until we catch him again. Here comes the first bullet that if you do not trigger the waypoint, you do not know where is the enemy located.

3. When you shoot down all four enemy planes, there are no waypoints to guide you home.

4. Even if all waypoints do work, make a landing waypoint trigger when you get back home close to your airfield.

 

Overall I have enjoyed flying this mission as I do like flying Spitfire planes. Good job and I hope you take my feedback positively

Hi Zeev,

Thanks again for your feedback, I certainly do take it positively and will have a close look at what you are suggesting and make some changes - the Mission maker is a continual learning curve for me. I am currently locked down with everybody else around the world with the very sad 'Corona Virus' situation. This means I am working on some new interesting missions and also working on putting together my first campaign.

Regards,

DFLion

Just tested the Spit mission and it was quite fun 

3 109s shot down vs 2 spits

Only problem is taxiing: I don't know where to go so I switch to autopilot

Following a request from 'SkyStriker' I have upgraded my first 2 single missions to work correctly in our latest game ver. 4.505. The revamped cockpits are excellent. I also changed the cloud formation to make the ensuing 'dog fights' a bit easier.

Hi DF Lion,

I very much enjoyed your missions. Thank you for your efforts.

However, i think there is an error in the two most recently uploaded files. Both zip files contain the .mission file "DF_SpitfireIXE_vs_ME109G_K.Mission".

Ironically, in both files the player flies the German side; plese check the files again.

regards

Hermod

Hi Hermod,

Thanks for picking up this error. I've now attached the correct file for the Spitfire vs Bf109K.
