There are alot of interesting options.

I think @AEthelraedUnraed is making a 1942 Hurricane campaign and if i understood right @ThunderBat is making one for  spitfire mk5. Im very much looking forward to those ?

I have had some ideas for a Mosquito or A20 one. ?

 

Indeed - it is not a period of the WWII air war that has been covered much by the various iterations of WWII flight sims, and it falls between what Il2 GB and CloD offer, which is a shame, because it was the RAF's main thrust during that time (apart from North Africa and Malta [and possibly Greece], which are in CloD's domain).

 

A Mossie campaign sounds interesting, although I'm not sure what they got up to over the Channel in 1941-2.

 

A20? Is that flyable? Excure my ignorance - I don't do bombers.

Your efforts toward a mosquito campaign would be very welcome. This beautiful aircraft has been too neglected for far too long. Much appreciate your hurri campaign. Very immersive and nice challenges along the way. Thank you!

Thank you. I have alot of ideas and im not sure what wil come of it. ?

Yes, but the one A20 we have was mostly exported to the soviet union as I understand. Im not sure about what mossies woud do either, i woud need to look into it as I want to make things that is atleast based on history. ? 

Channelmap has huge potential for all sorts of interesting campaigns. I woud really like something around Dieppe. 

[easterling77]

Dieppe would be outsanding.

 

With all the engagements in the air and maybe, also very atmospheric ones when thinking about having these engagements over the fighting in the landing sector.

 

Personally I'll be very pleased with your future projects...... I dont't have any clue about making campaigns so the work of yours and all the other creators in this comunity keeps the passion for the sim alive.

Dieppe woud be very intresting. And alot of airplanes to choose from. I hope the new spitfire mk9c wil come with the early merlin 61 engine ?

Thx im very happy people enjoy the campaign. All the good feedback makes me want to make more campaigns. 

 

First, I admire people who make campaigns and offer it to the community - so many thanks for effort and time. 

I'm flying very often Hurricanes in CloD and here in BOS (as newbie) I came across your Hurricane campaign . Installation was running fine, but starting the 1st mission a specific map was requested. I'm having BOS, BOM and BOBP and the Hurricane II. So I assume that a map of BOK or BON is needed for this campaign. So what should I purchase next to run your campaign?

First of all, thank you  for  this great campaign. I don't know if it is intentional, but this AI P39 has an accident after landing in mission 5.

Thx! Reading trough RAF repports from the time the amount of accidents was very high. But this must be a bug! It did not happen in my  playtests of the missions so coud be something changed in a update ? i just got a litle daughter so Im not sure when I have the time to fix it or play at all ?. So lets just say its a terrible accident happening ?

Sure, it's is nothing that interferes in the mission and as you say it looks even credible. ?

Yep, I'm doing a five mission historical "reenactment" campaign for the Spit Mk.Vb, it's the USAF 31st fighter group during during the Dieppe raid. My plan is to have it released and ready on the anniversary of operation jubilee, the August 19th

Hey @Sandmarken, congrats on the new little one!

I can understand if you don't have the time to fix this bug, but I think it's a small one:

 

On Mission 4, Convoy Patrol, Luton Leader (as he's referred to over the radio and in the briefing) is marked as "Baffin Leader" if you have the HUD turned on.

Hi and thanks for putting this campaign together. 
 

I’ve just downloaded it and have the latest update on the client. I own BoN and Hurricane mk. II but for some reason it shows the campaign as locked.

 

Does this mean I need to re-save missions with the editor?

Hello, no locked campaigns shoud have nothing to do with resave. I think maybe if you dont ovn battle of stalingrad it coud be the problem. I think i just assumed everyone owns that and put it as required instead of Normandy. If you go into the info file a text file inside the campaign folder you can find a parameter called something like game required. 1 shoud be stalingrad and Normandy is probably 4, 5 or 6. Try changing that? ?

[56RAF_Howler_]

Thanks. I’ll try that.

 

I don’t have BoS as I bought BoN directly from the developer.

Ok. Got it to work setting the value to 4 (BoBP) since I’ve got that too. But no luck with 5 or 6. Value of 7 worked also (probably BoN).

Mr. Sandmarken, I'm 80 years old and i wish i was more savvy about downloading War in the channel. That' been my problem in il2 BOS ? Could you mind giving me a boost forward on this download. Thank you,

Download the file you find in the link in the first post. When the dowload is complete that file need to be extracted. Most pc has a program for this. You right click the file and choose extract file here. After complete a folder named data apear. This folder you wil need to move to the il2 install folder. If you do this correct, war in the channel wil apear in the scripted campaign section in game. Please tell me if you cant get it to work and i wil try to assist some more!

Sandmarken, big thx for this campaign. I completed it and found the individual missions creatively designed - an overall successful campaign (even with the few/tiny problems mentioned above). 

The purchase of BoN (as recommenden above) was more than worth it for this and now I'm keen on playing your other campaigns ( ... BigWeek Spitfire/P51, Skyroads of Normandy & Wooden Wonder).

Keep up your good work!

I'm almost finished the campaign but i have to write this now, before i do.

It's amazing. Haven't got this feeling of immersion and "true stuff" since the days of Cliffs over Dover, only yours it's much better.

Exceptionally written.

Highly diverse (that find & rescue mission.....wow)

Quite demanding (I'm not a great virtual pilot, but I try to do my best). Has to be played on expert thou , to get the full sensation.

Very, very immersive.

Makes you feel you're there for real.

Thank you very much for a remarkable result.

just finished the hole campaign. i found it awesome. thrilling at times, with a great sense of immersion. But i've said all this before.

Being so nice as to have an official campaign for every aircraft in the game, maybe, with a slight cosmetic polish, this would make a wonderful brit hurricane official campaign, i think....
