P51B scripted Normandy campaign

[Billsponge1972]

  This is my first attempt at a scripted campaign.

" P-51B's over the channel"

  It's a totally non-historical, start in the air 8 mission campaign with a variety of objectives that get more difficult as they go on.

  Made with Vanders awesome easy mission generator and modified pretty heavily by me. All the missions are set up for objective success before landing so if you have to bail out or crash/force land you will still succeed in your mission.

Enjoy!

 

have it sorted out now.

enjoy!

Nice, I'll be checking this one out this week. Than you.

[Mike2945]

Thank you for putting this campaign together - however I'm stuck on the first mission!

I've now flown it 3 times, on the 3rd attempt carefully overflying the target area some half a dozen times.  Although I have twice received the message to resume my course and continue the mission, I've had no specific indication that my photography has been successful, and having landed got the message 'mission failed'.  What am I doing wrong?

[Billsponge1972]

  You have to make sure that you're above 7,000 ft or so when you make your photographic run and a message will tell you to fly straight and level for 10 seconds. 

Spoiler: there is a reconnaissance aircraft that must be downed on your return to your home airfield. I hinted at the reconnaissance aircraft in the pre-mission briefing. Hope this helps.

I wish there would be a second version with also taxi and takeoff.
For me the excitment of taxiing and taking off is on the same level as fighting and landing. 

Anyway, thanks for the campaign. Will try it out

[Billsponge1972]

Agreed. My original aim, as I am not so good with the mission editor, was to make something with the channel map and complete the campaign in roughly 2-2.5 hours. 

I will definitely try a second campaign with taxi and start off added in.

Thank you for the advice - mission No1 successfully completed! This is shaping up to be a great campaign- again, many thanks!

[Billsponge1972]

I'm glad you like it. 

 

It's a 2 out of 10 when compared to other scripted campaigns made by competent people! 

I'm a boob when it comes to the mission editor but I'm learning!

[DN308]

It’s still more than I have done myself. So thanks again 

[Billsponge1972]

Thanks.  I had a lot of fun making it. It was a challenge for me.

 

[FoxbatRU]

Thanks for the campaign! Nice set of missions.?

[Billsponge1972]

Thanks.

Glad you liked them!

Can someone show me the correct install path for this download, I have tried to install directly into the root folder [ IL-2 Sturmovik battle of Moscow] and also into campaigns but it's not showing in either?

 

Cheers

[jussitska]

I don't know if it's correct, but my path is IL-2 Sturmovik/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/IL-2 Sturmovik BOS/data/Campaingns and it works great

If all else fails you can extract it to your desktop, open it up to the last folder with all the mission files inside, then navigate to your Main game folder and copy and paste that folder into your campaigns folder.

[taffy2jeffmorgan]

Thank you

Thanks for your great campaign.  But I cannot accomplish mission-07, I cannot find any submarine in the combat area.  Could you tell me

how to get the submarine appear?

[Billsponge1972]

Haven't played that one in a while but if I remember correctly you have to watch your map and the sub is at the edge of the search area towards the French coast. 

[Azuradasbadazura]

I got it.  I've accomplished the mission. Thanks!

Just downloaded and installed the campaign into JSGME so I can move it in to the game whenever I want to play it.

 

I am so glad you did not have the mission description hidden or locked because I was able to edit (the English version anyway) the mission descriptions for each mission.  Since the mission description only had metric unit parameter I added the standard measurements for outside air temperature (°F ), wind speed (ft/s and MPH), altitude (ft) most notably so you don't have to calculate the altitude while flying the missions.  US manufactured aircraft had gauges in MPH and Feet although temperatures were in °C for which I assume the reason to be for more precise monitoring of the power plant.

 

I know you said the campaign is non-historical.

 

Just so I know, are the missions in the campaign progression supposed to be in chronological order by date (earliest to latest).  I noticed the very first mission (Recon) is 02JUN1944 yet the second, third etc. are May1944.

 

Is the campaign designed to work (backwards latest to earliest) in time?

 

Is it designed to jump around in time?

 

 

 

[Billsponge1972]

All these are good questions. Truth be told, I'm a fairly poor mission builder! I made tons of mistakes which you are more than welcome to correct and even upload your own version. I will gladly ditch mine as It's one of my earliest endeavors.
