Notice: 

-Campaign is not historical. You're flying alone or flight leader in bad weather/visibility. Long distances to the target-instrumental flights.
-Missions: Intruder attack-ground target deep behind enemy line. Night fight against enemy aircraft...
-To complete the mission is not necessary to meet the objective. It is necessary to land back on the main base. 
-Do not hide the entire GUI when flying a mission. Doing so will disable the messages you receive during flight!

 

Instrumental flights in corridors in bad visibility-Mossie/Typhoon doesn't have radio compass, use "Direction Indicator" for navigation between checkpoints from mission briefing.

I put it in the campaign folder, s'all good. The first mission is a bitch on takeoff, wouldn't send my dog out in that weather. An RAF pilot, sure, a pooch, no.

For random BoX player it is terrible weather...for real ww2 pilot it is very favorable weather ?

Thanks for the campaign! A great chance to enjoy Mosquito and flying in difficult weather conditions! And then in the career of this aircraft was of little use.

 

 

For myself, he translated into Russian and assigned tail numbers.

I just failed the Silent Hunter - Mosquito Mission #4.

 

I completed the raid on the train station and got that indication on the map and in a message on my HUD.  But I crashed on landing because there is no landing marker and one of my wingmen dove down at the last moment and crashed in front of me on the runway, and there was no way to avoid crashing into him.

 

This is the second time on different campaigns that my wingmen have killed me because there is no landing marker at my home airfield and they crash into me.  If you're not going to place a landing marker at the home airfield, then it should only be on missions with no wingmen, or tell me how I can ditch wingmen at my home airfield so I can land without them crashing into me?  Do I need to shoot them down?  They follow me around like lap dogs holding formation with me and then crash into me when I'm on final.

 

And why wasn't there a landing marker?

 

This is a great campaign, but I'm not going to try again until I understand how to avoid my wingmen while trying to land.

 

Thanks!

Did you try to order him "return to base"? F7 command.

That has never worked for me.  I've tried F7 many times over the years, and nothing happens.  Does it work for you?

Yes. Your wing will go RTB and stop receiving any orders.

Just tried F7 again, and it didn't work.  Pressing F7 won't even close the "Orders" window.  Return to base has always worked in IL-2 1946, but it has never worked in IL-2 Great Battles for me.  What did work was using "Hold This Position."  That gave me time to separate from my wingmen long enough to land and complete Mission #4 successfully.  If you're getting F7 to work in Great Battles, please tell me under what conditions you have been successful with it.

 

What I need to do, is learn how to add a landing marker to missions that don't have them.  I can do some basic things in the mission editor, but I've never looked into how to add a landing marker.  Then I will be able to fix missions where the mission creator forgot to add them 🙂

Thanks!

 

I can't get rid of my wingmen either no matter how hard I try. No command seems to work

Saldy,

Your campaign missions are very different with immersive moments - my favorites are the last 4 missions. Some targets were hard to find, especially under worse weather conditions, what challenged my pilot skills (and adds to the immersion)!

 

But what me impressed much, is your way of navigation! No WPs but a well prepared map with "beacons" and main headings and often receiving final instructions only in flight. This contributes to the realism of your missions. Even that you describe your campaign as semi-historical, IMHO the Mosquito tasks herein are quite historical for the Winter 1944/45 over Belgium and the Netherlands.

 

Your campaign sucessfully concludes my campaign list of the Mosquito FM. Playing it was pure fun!!! Thx for this fine campaign.

What means „Direction Indicator“? Simply the compass or is there a tool in the game I didn’t know? 🤔

 

First mission I managed with compass and visual navigation 😅

 

Well made mission, btw 🙂
