Mtnbiker1998 Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 I had to do a reinstall of the the game a little while back and at the time didn't know about the files in the usersaves folder, so I lost several campaigns (among other things, but I've managed to fix most of that.) Is it possible to manually edit some files to get back to where I was? In particular I was most of the way through Lightning Strikes and would hate to have to go through the long flights to and from the target area on such a long campaign again.
alpenspion Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 You need to copy folder ...\data\swf\il2\usersave\... to the fresh install of the Il-2 game And if you need to save the career progress then also copy ...data\Career\cp.db 1
Zeev Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I have lost once my campaign progress and I was lazy to edit it with notepad and its kind of difficult so I did write a program with Graphical User Interface that lets you edit all your campaigns - official and unofficial. If you want I can upload it here. Edited October 3, 2021 by Zeev

You can by: 1. Manually edit the save file. 2. Use a third party tool. But oh well if you want to go the hard way and do whatever you mentioned - good luck.
readyred1 Posted October 8, 2021 Posted October 8, 2021 Hello Zeev, I am interested in the program with GUI for editing the campaigns. Can you make it available here? Greetings from Hamburg

All you have to do is take off and quit the mission after 30 seconds. You can exit and progress to the next one.
