Do you mean Campaign or Career Mode?

 

If it is career mode it is in data

?:\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\Career\cp.db

In my directory it's here, yours may be different depending on your install but this is the file you are looking for

And that file, if it grows too big, will freeze IL-2 Great Battles from even loading.  I've learned that the hard way.  And no one at 1C support knows about the problem.  At least for me, when it reaches about 1 MB in size, the game will refuse to load.  And it grows and grows with each mission flown in each campaign you have loaded into IL-2.

 

I've had to learn how to remove the portion of that file that pertains to any given campaign after I've finished it.  Simply removing a campaign from the Campaigns directory doesn't delete that campaign's data from the file.  It's just a giant txt file, but it's very tedious making sure you don't actually delete a delimiter and break its structure.

 

Have you found a better way to manage the campaignsstates.txt file from growing too large?  1C support has no answer other than to re-install IL-2 GB when it freezes from this problem.

 

Thanks!

No, I've never had a problem with it. I have a campaignstates.txt file backup from a year ago and the current one is only a year old in my offline folder. They aren't even 200 kb.

 

I frequently delete all of the campaigns, delete the campaignstates.txt, ctreecache.txt and mtreecache.txt files and start over with a clean board. I see no reason to save completed campaigns in the game, I just put them in a backup file. If I need access to a certain campaign mission to test it, I open it in the ME and convert it to a single mission. After I make any changes, I resave it over the old campaign files.

This is probably what I should do.  I always have a handful of campaigns running at the same time and never have a clean stopping point.  Thus my campaignsstate.txt file grows and grows until IL-2 GB won't load unless I prune it.
