I dont mean to hijack the thread, but what are the chances of doing something similar to make a WW1 version of the Normandy map?

@FlashyAnother idea for a small WW1 test:

In my Map Mod I have already replaced the huge late war Manston Airfield by a small grass airfiled.

-install the map mod

-import the default static objects from the official template.

-delete the static objects for the huge late war MAnston airfield.

-place some WW1 airfield objects on the MAnston grass airfield

-design a small WW1 british defensive mission from Manston Airfield, German Gotha with airstart from the sea from S/E.

The general idea is, that you install with JSGME:

either

the "Early Normandy 1940 Map Mod"

or the

"1940 Battle of Britain Mod early v01" (contains the map mod)

For 1940 Battle of Britain I have modyfied EMG by Vander v89a to:

"EasyMissionGenerator-Battle-of-Britain-V01"

You will find all mentioned modifications in the first main post.

Concerning your question I test IL-2 only with the Map Mod installed:

Added later: After installation the modified surfaces file should have this size:

For test in Quick start / Quick Mission Builder I choose Normandy D-Day and a single plane mission from runway from Thorney Island with a Spitfire VB.

As you can see only the 1940 Airfields are shown in the GUI Map:

And when I start the mission the Thorney Island Grass Airfield is visible, but of course the Spitfire has the default russian skin, because only the Map Mod is installed:

And for a further test I have de-installed all mods and now again all Airfields are visible and the tarmac runway is there again:

And at the end with the 1940 Battle of Britain Mod installed

the Spitfire has additional by default the MKIIa (MKIa) skin without 20mm cannons and it is in the Quick Mission Builder by default british:

Concerning the Easy Mission Generator modified for Battle of Britain:

Please select the Channel Map, that is now called: Battle of Britain:

You will find there Frontlines (with individual targets available) for the Western (Cherbourg/Tangmere) and the Eastern Area:

Please do not select the Normandy Map in EMG, this uses the late / summer map and there are no UK Airfields defined as it is in the standard EMG too.

I hope that this information is helpful for you.

I have already used the "1940 Battle of Britain Mod early v01" and the EMG "EasyMissionGenerator-Battle-of-Britain-V01"

to generate and to fly 14 of the released 16 new missions of my "Luftwaffe WW2 Career 1940-45 - Status Part02 early Battle of Britain"

(the first 2 missions I had generated with my old EMGv66 BoF mod)
