New Single Player Campaign Announcement

New Single Player Campaign Announcement.

 

A few months ago, we released the Cliffs of Dover Blitz campaign Their Finest Hour. Today, we're proud to officially announce a 10-mission companion campaign: Their Greatest Challenge!

 

It is July, 1940. The Luftwaffe has emerged victorious over Poland, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, and France. Jagdgeschwader 2 Richthofen now eagerly awaits the chance to cross the English Channel and defeat the final obstacle in their path to victory.

 

But the RAF will soon prove to be a more fearsome, determined, and cunning opponent than expected, while the vastness of the English Channel swallows up any aircraft too damaged or starved of fuel to cross it.

 

This is the greatest challenge the Luftwaffe has faced yet - and its aura of invincibility is about to be broken forever.

 

All players will receive Their Greatest Challenge for free in the next update, as well as the new single mission Defiant to the End. Desert Wings - Tobruk owners will also receive the free single mission Darkness Over Derna at the same time.

Hi ATAG_Pattel,

Finished flying " Their Greatest Challenge" twice!

First time cheating using time compression and the second without.

Managed to survive the 10 missions the second time and it gave a real sense of what these pilots were up against.

Hours of boredom interspersed with a minute or two of terror.

I also found out how crap I am at formation flying!!!!

Thanks again.... the campaign was much appreciated, keep 'em coming!!

It's really gratifying to hear your feedback as the author of the campaign, thank you! 

 

Unfortunately I don't have much time to work on CloD these days, as my university semester just started. Once that's done, though, I should be able to make more content

I have been playing finest hour and its pretty great, was hoping we'd get into mk2's but not yet!

Hi All,

This is a bit off this topic but I would like to know if there is anybody out there who has created a "template" for a static campaign that one can plug in your own missions and it keeps your cumulative score viz. kills

Over a period of time I have created about 100 sequential missions and would like to string 'em together in a static campaign. ( HOPEFULLUY with cumulative kill counts etc. )

I might be wrong but it seems all the current static campaigns do not do this. ( Oh! for the days of 1946!! ) I also notice it has been a moan and groan in the forums I have visited.

I have not yet flown the Dynamic Campaign created by The Oden so am not sure if it has the feature I am looking for.

Any reply will be greatly appreciated.

Attached mission has a cs file reading/writing stats to a log file in dover main folder under my documents.

Hopefully not too confusing.

Hi the Oden,

Thanks for the hi-speed reply.

Do I attach the cs file to each .Mis file I have created?

Thanks 

[theOden]

I'll send you a PM to not derail this tread too much

Take a look at this script that shows at the end of the mission the kills of both sides, the player squad and the player kills, as well as informing if the mission was a success or failure and updating this score with each mission in the campaign.

 

Don't remember but think that this comment in Russian was correct, the original script was made by Russian "mission maker" in ~2011.

It would be beyond great of these things were implemented in the game without the need for an extra script.

Thanks a million, will definitely see if I can use it.

I need to first learn to get the campaign set up right.

I have plenty to peruse as I am not the brightest with messing with software viz. scripting

9./JG52_J-HAT,

Have to agree with you 100%

Imagine in the next update something like this was implemented instead of another variant of aircraft, single mission or campaign.

Not that I am ungrateful for all the updates and additional content but a "scoreboard" is tops on my list.
