For example, IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Campaigns\A-20B Flight School folder would contain all files for the A-20B tutorial campaign. If you're using 7zip you would simply drop the zip into the Campaigns folder, right click and select Extract to "A-20B Flight School\" or Extract to "*\" if installing multiple at a time. If you want to play individual missions instead of a linked campaign, you can unzip into data\Missions Translators (Thank you!): Serdalf (French) 6FG_Big_Al (German) =gRiJ=Roman- (Spanish) ITAF_Airone1989 (Italian) Scuola di volo Additional Resources: Air Combat Tutorial Library by Requiem Requiem's Tutorial Discord Edited May 25 by Utopioneer 56 44 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been some debate on whether or not this is necessary, but there seems to be enough demand that it was worth the effort. These are a basic set of missions for brand new players to progress through, with some instruction on how to complete the objectives, and key bindings required. I started with the Bf109 G-2 but I will probably expand to other planes. Any issues that players find please point them out here and I'll address. If you have any recommendations for improving this I would love to hear them. I'll consider this v1, it includes: Mission 1 - Basic flight through waypoints Mission 2 - Take-off Mission 3 - Landing Mission 4 - Shoot down a bomber Mission 5 - Dogfight Mission 6 - Taxi Bf 109 G-2 Training.zip 3.9 MB · 17 downloads Thank you I will give it ago Darn i don't have the G2 Edited February 11, 2020 by Abdelhak22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITAF_Airone1989 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 @Utopioneer great idea!!! Could you tell me where should I install your folder? I really have no idea, but I want to try your work cause can be a great start for new pilot of the group.. And also a Russian one (or bomber version) focused on complex engine menagment (or aiming bombs) could be really a great idea.. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogi Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Hello Airone, You can paste the dezipped folder in the /missions folder, like this : <hard drive>:\IL-2BOS\data\Missions\BF 109 G-2 Training.

Utopioneer Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Thanks everybody for the words of encouragement. I updated files to v1.1 with the following changes: Added G-4 and LaGG-3 29 planes Modified dogfight mission to make it easier to engage Added a ground attack mission Various mission description updates Changed names to "Flight School" instead of training Just so everybody knows my plans, I developed these missions as generic templates so I can quickly propagate changes and generate campaigns for many planes. This means I can very quickly generate the missions themselves for new planes, but I need to manually create the graphics and instruction text. I'll work on this whenever I have time, but if you want to see specific planes next feel free to suggest them. Bombers and non-Fighter planes won't be until later, as I'll need to create new template missions for them. Thanks!

Blasterlasvideo Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Great stuff. Been thru the Bf 109 G2 Flight / Take Off / Landing tutorials with great results. Really suck at the dogfight however. (As I try to maneuver into an upper position of power, I keep getting caught in tail spins downward. Which is a pretty intense experience in VR with a motion platform.) If possible, PLEASE make a series with the Bf 109 F4 that most of use noobs start with. Its the perfect plane for beginner tutorials. Edited February 13, 2020 by Blasterlasvideo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew all but the taxi lesson in the F4 beta you sent me and they all seem fine to me. The one thats going to really help my flight skills is the air to air combat lesson.There are so many different things that can be practiced in that scenario.

[=PzG=]-FlyinPinkPanther Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 For BOM The Mig-3 and the 109 E-7 would be a good choice. Yes the 109 F4 would be a better choice. Really, either the G2 or G4 would have been fine. Another choice would be a G6, basically it flies differently than the G14 and the former three a/c mentioned above. However, it is CP, so unless a new pilot jumps in with both feet, they most likely won't have it. I do not fly the Yak, but I am sure one on one of them would be great as well.

Utopioneer Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Uploaded a Bf 109 F-4 Campaign. Sorry for the 109 parade but they're easy to iterate off each other and I got specific requests for these planes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you simply rename all the .ENG files to .FRA I believe they will display properly, but in English. What I don't have the ability to do is create french language versions. Once these get fleshed out and finalized I may look for volunteers though 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serdalf Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I could translate the text from English to French .. it will be enough to have the file in. FRA..even if it has nothing in it. Just copy / paste the .ENG file into the FRA folder and translate with GOOGLE Traduction or similar and be careful to remove the spaces between> and the text .. and c is all good !! I will already try to save the .ENG file as .FRA ?? Thank you 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serdalf Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Well done! I have my file in .FRA and translated into French..and it's all good in the game .. I will continue for the other missions and do it also for the info file .ENG If this interests some beginners or confirmed ... I can provide them to you ....😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serdalf Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Ok .. I will continue the missions of the LAGG-3 and when I have finished I will send them to you.

6FG_Big_Al Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 A great idea of yours that I would like to support, if I may. I could translate your English texts into German. Similar to Roman, a "simple format" like a PDF (or similar) would be great. best regards Rico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopioneer Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 @Serdalf @=gRiJ=Roman- @6FG_Big_Al I'm sending you three a google sheets link to compile translations.
