-18 semi historical front-lines from July43...4th April45

-min. Required "IL-2 Battle of Bodenplatte", for late 43/early44 P47/P51 missions BoN required

-British Planes: because at the beginning of my work my focus was on the simulation of strategic Air War with long range USAAF bomber missions I have set the service dates of most british planes to very late (February 45).

If you want to fly earlier (after 11. September 44) with the RAF please use the v88.2 default planes.json

-Updated german late war tank columns / tank concentrations

-Mission Pack included

 

Installation:

-You should have a working EMG v88.2 installed on your computer and know how to use it.

Advanced Modes:

-activation of template / planes settings files by using batch files

 

Advanced Mode / Only for Allied long range escort full missions from Dummy UK Airfield to Germany

-Modification "Germany43-44-Mod-JSGME" installed

-"CoopTemplate_GENERIC-only-for-allied-long-range-missions" to be used (full missions with take off to landing)

-not required for AirStart missions.

(activate with 3activate-CoopTemplate_GENERIC-for-german-intercept-missions-with-Radar-Radio-Nav.bat)

effect:

all escort fighters with reduced cruise speed and fuel = 1.0

german fighters wait ca. 30minutes until they take off

B25 + B26 modified for increased performance:

B25 max altitude in EMG 6000m and with manual mission editing up to 6500m...6800m)

B26 max. altitude in EMG 5500m

 

Choose fronts with English Airfield:

(same fronts with ...B are with Airstart Airfields)

Note: use "CoopTemplate_GENERIC-only-for-allied-long-range-missions" only for mentioned extreme long range full missions

-For german interceptors choose only Lead Flight, no Escort Flight!

-Fuel comsumption during long range escort missions:

AI Escort planes are flying always zig-zag. And sometimes, especially the leader, circles for a time and after this has to follow/catch the bomber flight with high speed. All this leads to a hogh fuel comsumptions.

Because of this it is a good choice to fly as escort leader with manual control.

 

Advanced Mode / Missions compatible for  German Radar/Radio Navigation Mod

-Modification "Germany43-44-Mod-JSGME" installed

-default "planes-general.json" to be used (activate with "1activate-planes-general.bat")

(activate with 3activate-CoopTemplate_GENERIC-for-german-intercept-missions-with-Radar-Radio-Nav.bat)

-After activation of settings start EMG.

-With the current version I recommend to set ambient planes to 0 to avoid false radar signals.

-Generate Missions

-Link for Group for ME:

 

 

-Simple installation with Radar / Radio Navigation: 

-Open Mission with ME and Import from File:

Radar and Radio Nav Germany4345-with-FuG.Group

-Save Mission

 

-Usage during Mission:

(Radio by AEthelraedUNraed)

-show radio: press LCTRL until it appears

frequenz selector: LWIN 2=decrease LWIN 3=increase

-set frequency to 5150kHz (Radar Control frequency)

-contacts are reported by subtitles and the heading is displayed in your AFN-2

Switch to radion navigation:

choose 5175 kHz to deactivate previous frequency

Have a look to  the map to select a Radio NAv. Beacon and it's frequency:

No, it's completed, and in general everything works.

But during the final tests I made some small adjustments to the loadouts and long range settings and this was a bit time consuming.

And the release will take some time too...

Kraut1 your work is great! Will you make a generator version with the Odessa map? 😁

 

Or maybe Vander is making one himself 😀

I have received a message by Vander one hour ago.

I will start with this task.

But it will take some time, everything to be defined from scratch.

And maybe it can be implemented later to the official version by Vander.

In the main EMG post I have already posted a draft for the I-153 and LAgg3s4 plane loadouts.

I saw it and has downloaded the file to use with other maps! 

 

Looking forward to your work. I have been trying some things with the new map in the editor. Its a good looking map! Especially Odessa i think is the best looking city in the game! 

I wish we had some ground assets for it. Maybe in the future some romanian ships, vehicles and and aa.

Yes, would be great.

I am currently working on the odessa.gif for the media folder

Is there a plan to extend the map? Since it seems half is missing from that picture, it would be great to have Constanța and the map extended a few kilometers west. Many units were stationed just outside the map on June 22.

[kraut1]

 The file for EMG looks currently: (2100x2100 gimp file)

It is made of the original IL-2 tiles and has to be converted to gif for EMG.

I have checked: it is not possible to leave the map area and to enter the red border area.

Constanza would be 130km south of Ismail that is in the south of the map. 

I will use the current map.

-At first there will be compact version for integration in the EMG, similar as Vander does, with smaller front line areas.

-When this is done I will I work on a further customized version with optional 1941 tank units, river gun boats,...
