I wish the AI where more dangerous. We shot down every p47 to no losses, i dont think i saw any of ours land with damage even. But thats a task for the devs I guess?

Thank you

@saldy Thx for this. 

[Verbum_Vincet]

This campaign is AWESOME! Just what I was looking for. Installation was incredibly easy and everything works perfectly, right out of the box. First mission a familiarization flight with good surprise action and challenging enemies. Second mission though? High altitude interception of bomber boxes - exactly what I was looking for! Going to fly the third now. This campaign will see a lot of use. Thanks for the great work! 

 

FWIW, I remember 'Grünherz Dora' fondly from IL-2: 1946. Played it incessantly. Another one of my favorite campaigns in IL-2: DBW was Flatspinman's Willi Jedermann 'LWP - Defense of the Reich'. Love the Reichsverteidigung action involving interception of allied bomber streams against overwhelming odds.  Look forward to anything else you create!

@saldy, Nice campaign! Many thanks!!!

 

I've just noticed a little problem in the player's skin.

Messing up with my keys' map, I've jettisoned my cokpit in the air, and then :

 

Note the blue chips on the upper edge.  Maybe something is missing in the skin.

Nothing really important but I guess the author would be interested in that little issue.

@E69_julian57

[E69_julian57]

Hello @DN308
You mean this...
They are paint chipping 

[DN308]

Yep, I know that. But they are in a kind of blue color that remind these missing texture parts.

Sorry, I can’t really explain correctly in English but sometimes, when you mispaint a part on a template, you have this kind of blue color on this part.

And that chip is like you would have forgot to paint it.

Sometimes it happens - Commander after completing the task dont fly direct to home base. 

 

 

Are you using a ‘Force Complete’ MCU at the end of the mission?

I use Counter. Command is also insured by time activation (for example, counter is activated after 10 min.)

You need to use Force Complete

[Gambit21]

 

Force complet - then make sure the first RTB waypoint is set to ‘high’ priority.

[Taurus62]

Unfortunately, i can't play the campaign because it is locked in the campaign overview.
When I select the campaign, I get the message that I need BOS and BOM.
Are these two really necessary? I only have BOK, BOP and TC.

I think I know what the problem is - hopefully. Go into the campaign folder and look for a file called "info.txt". Open this file with the text editor and

change the following line:

 

&tows=1,2,3,4            to              &tows=4

 

and save the file.

 

Don't run the game while you're doing these changes, OK?

 

Of course, I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is it (100%!).

 

Cheerio

[Taurus62]

Thank you very much, THERION !
You were 100% right, it works now.  ?

I tested, it works very well?

[WM_KMS]

The wonky throttle in this plane kills it for me, I have a hard time reducing it to the perfect 10% without it going back to full throttle, makes taxiing a PITA, any tips?

[taffy2jeffmorgan]

I have installed into campaigns and also installed directly into my Sturmovik root folder but its not showing up in the game in either ?

New v1.2

-Return script reworked in all missions
-mission 04 and 08 updated

[Madcop]

Hi Saldy,

 

I can't find the way to achieve the Surprise attack on Russian airfield mission. I tried everything but no avail. 

Have I got to follow a specific schwarm ?( Grob or Heinz)?

Is there a specific order to follow because there is no order from the ground control for me to take off... I can wait as long as I want after Grob's flight is airborne.

When, after a while, I decide on my own to take off with my schwarm the authorization for T.O. arrives when I pulled the stick to leave the ground.....

Do I have to take the lead at 2400M ?

After order from Grob to attack the hangars at the south of the airfield, my wingmen leave me and go their own way making some tourism around the base ,whatever the order I give them. 

As I can't destroy  multiple hangars with only one bomb , and as my wingmen are sightseeing I go back to base and after asking my schwarm to reform ,this time my wingmen follow me !.

I finally land safely on the base but run out of fuel on the runway... and my wingmen keep on turning for the ternity around the place without running out of fuel.

On another occasion I kept turning with my schwarm above the target (having expended my bomb on one hangar) and waited for Grob to give the order to fly back home, but he kept flying with his schwarm around the place , followed by Heinz's schwarm, and this during minutes and minutes. I than decided to fly straight home, but then run out of fuel and landed in a field.

 

I must miss something , but I don't know what ....

Thanks for your help.

[saldy]

Russian airfield mission?? No attacks on the airfields in this campaign...

[Madcop]

Oh my God , sorry for that, my problem is with "Langnase Dora" not with "Grünherz Dora" .

I am confused, as I never had any problem with your work.

Hello,

I’m stuck in the last mission. 
after the first kills, enemy's fleeing, alright.

But then, I rejoin my leader and we are making turns forever above and around point 3.

Is there something I could have missed?

[saldy]

Last mission...I will look at it

[DN308]

In fact, I just waited for the Me262 until the end of mission before landing but the jet didn’t land at all...

[saldy]

262 are deleted before landing

 

Edited March 16, 2021 by saldy

[DN308]

Alright, thanks.

In my experience, Me still orbited for a while. Bingo fuel, I landed before seeing them landing or been deleted.

But ok, that’s fine for me.

 

By the way, your campaign is really nice and interesting. I loved flying the Dora again. Many thanks for your job.

[percydanvers]

Really enjoyed this campaign!

[negulescurobert]

Many thanks saldy, really enjoyed this scripted either. Anyway, as I just dowmload some one week ago,did not managed to finish it all, so, when you'll find the time to do so, I am waiting for you to update it, for 4.601, as now is not playable anymore, after yesterday game update.

[Koziolek]

you dont't have to wait for the update. Just resave the missions using mission editor. I just did it and this campaign works perfectly after game update

Many thanks Koziolek for your hint. After some extra forum research on how to use the mission editor tool (never heard about it before) I did manage to do the resave.On more question for you: how do you guys manage to add those BoX tags (BOM,BOK...) to your profiles? I do own all the WW2 BOX and I will like to add it to my profile as well but I still cant figure out how to do it.

They are for buying modules directly from Il-2 site. Bronze for buying after release and gold for early access. As you can see I do not have BOS as I bought it at Steam, and I do not own BON and TC. Yet

Update v1.2b for 4.702 patch

Tried 2nd mission "Battle of Duisburg", 24 friendly fighter vs big bomber formation and several escort fighter squadrons. Don't tell me that anyone can play that without the game going slow motion.

Yes too many planes can cause a game deceleration (FPS ok, but game is in slow motion) . I tested this mission for a long time, than it was ok. My old PC year ago was i5, GTX 1060 6 GB. 16GB RAM...Game settings on HIGH in 1080p...

I tested this mission again yesterday, but now I have other PC and everything was still fast, no slowdown. Ryzen 5800X, AMD 6800 16GB, 32GB RAM. Settings:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

I counted again, 20x 2 engined bombers (even more ressource taxing) + 24x axis fighters (not counting escorts) at the same spot. Speed is fine, until everything clashes together. Tried lower settings 1080p, no aa, same or better than your old specs, smooth 90 fps but maybe 0.2x ingame speed. Are you really really sure it worked fine with your old system? I am sad, because you make great content but it is unplayable for me. ?

Either my side has some serious issues or another thinks his or her gunnery is superb because of unconscious bullet time experience and just say everything is fine.

Fast, no slow downs, no time dilation. I guess it is due to the fact that my I9-9900K@5200Mhz is fast enough to handle this amount of planes. Single core performance of your CPU is key here.
