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....

Thank you. My project after my new campaign will be to update it a bit i think ?

I also noticed that this campaign is very much CPU intensive compared to other campaigns. Maybe there are some optimizations which could be introduced regarding number of units and the triggers used.

Hello, i run this in vr and have a rather medium system and it runs mostly fine on my computer. That said iv learnd alot since this campaign and some of the things that i will fix is the logic so everything shoud run at a better framerate. ? if there is any missions in particular that does not run well please point me to them and it will be easier to fix it

I am also running it in VR with a medium system, which is more sensitive to keep the 90fps target, but i remember that the 2nd mission was a big hit on performance when flying over the boat, to the point where i stopped playing this campaign till I am able to upgrade my computer.

 

I loved what i saw though, and would like very much to play it all.

In the second mission you intercept luftwaffe bombers, and there are many of them. Thats what hits the fps, and not much to do about it unless you reduce the bombers and then it woud be a very different mission. I guess this is part of why we will not see AI b17s in this game it just isnt made for it. All missions shoud be completable pretty soon after take off and you can just skip it. I think just one other mission is pretty cpu demanding and that is (spoiler) the last one ? that said thx for pointing it out i will see if i can do something to ease the cpu load when i get the time.

I think it was indeed the one to protect the fleet.

I had a CTD while flying this campaign (mission 1) last night. Can you lend any guidance @Sandmarken?

Not sure what woud cause that. Never had the issue my self running the mission. Are you using mods? Did it happen more than once?

Happened once. I think it was the VR Performance Kit.

Maybe, I've had random crashes using OpenVR.

All missions were tested in VR and for me at least there have been no VR-related issues playing. Some people have experienced some lag in certain missions, but I never had much of it on a medium-spec PC.

 

I hope you enjoy the rest of the campaign without issue 😃

Thanks for making it! Really enjoyed the first two missions.

Hi, I need help. I get the campain, but cant chosee mission. The page is empty. What am I doing wrong?

[Billsponge1972]

If it says "mission description is loading..." Then you have to re-save the campaign through the mission editor.

As Bill said, you need to go into the editor. In the tools menu, there is an option to resave or save to binary or something like that. Let me know if you can't figure it out.🙂

Billsponge and Sandmarken are right and this link explains in detail how to do it:

Just downloaded and started this campaign ( and for my trouble was shot down over France  by a very talented 110 gunner, but nevermind..) and I wanted to thank you for your efforts and the use of the Channel map for a 1942 campaign-I'm surprised it isn't used more often, perhaps for a Battle of Britain short campaign? 

 I have to add this: I am also an avid player  of , but it has had its problems integrating VR, and is currently in a Beta test mode, which ,unfortunately, has had nearly all landscape & architectural features eliminated in order tobetter test and find operating problems, so it is really refeshing flying over the east coast of England and seeing what a grand job ,GB , has done with all the landscape and airfield ,and city images- with your campaign it is ,indeed , a breath of fresh air.

Now have you considred a 1940 scenrio?

Thank you, good to hear you enjoy the campaign! I exclusively play in VR, so the campaign should work well with VR. I agree that more early campaigns are possible with the Normandy map. I for one woud like to see something around the landing at Dieppe. I haven't considered doing a 1940 campaign; I think I would need an early Spitfire first. 😁 I have something else in the works that I will finish in the not-too-distant future. 😀

Your campaign works great with my Oculus Quest Q3!

(BTW I think I remember a mod which reduces the damage of the Spit's cannons to a 303 effect...)

Those Messschmitt Friederics don't play nice...

Hello,

I just flew this campaign and loved it.  First time exploring the Hurricane in depth.  Thanks for all your hard work!  I am wondering if there is a way I can alter a mission start time.  I see there is a .MISSION file with a date and time listed, but changing the time has no effect.  Obviously, I have no experience with the mission editor.  If it's a relatively simple thing I can do, then great.  Otherwise, I will just live with it the way it is.

Many thanks.

Happy you liked it. Yes, changing the time of day is quite simple. Just open the editor, open the mission file inside the editor, and in the bottom left corner, there should be a menu to change the time of day. It should be easy to spot.

[Geezer]

Fantastic.  Worked.  That was indeed embarrassingly simple.  LOL 

Thanks for your help!

No problem! Hope you enjoy the campaign at your preferred time of day. 😁

Just the one mission.  My night vision is appalling.  Sorry. 🫣
