Any chance of now adding the brand new Bf-109E-4 to this BoB campaign?

When I will be back from vacation I will try to create an alternative BoF and BoB campaign mission set of the already released campaign missions with the E7 replaced by the E4.

And of course I will add the E4 to the BoF and BoB Easy Mission Generator Modifications.

That would be great! ( an aside: my gunsight on the E-7 is very dim…dim enough to be useless, but the E-4’s gunsight is bright, so you can imagine how much I look forward to your substitution…not to mention the E-4 is better suited to battle of France and Battle of Britain scenarios.)

Many thanks for your Battle of Britain quick combat generator and other mods,keep up the good work!

Greetings

It would be great if someone would one day host a dedicated multiplayer server with this Battle of Britain mod for all of us who have it downloaded. It would be the most authentic way to relive that battle in the simulator, especially for those of us who have virtual reality.

Thanks for this mod.

Regards.

Hi @Blitzen,

I am already creating the missions for PArt03 of the Luftwaffe40-45 campaign, the late Battle of Britain, BF109-E4 Fighter Bomber Missions.

Concerning the plane types a question: have you already solved the issue with the sight of the BF109-E7?

For me both gun sights of the E4 and the E7 are exactly the same...

No the E-7 sight is still on the block and has been for quite a while. It comes back briefly usually for a short bit but father the next update resumes its lack luster lighting.It doesn’t seem connected with use of “Mods” either when they re on or off…🫥

[Blitzen]

I may have missed the opportunity to install these as a campaign? I put them all int missions via JSGME.

Hi @Blitzen,

I never put my campaigns in a modpack for this reason:

-It takes much time to fly my campaigns, the existing ones have between 30 to more than 80 missions and the new Luftwaffe 40-45 will have at the end much more...

(of course you can reduce the number of campaign missions if you want)

-If I start to fly a campaign it will takes maybe a month to fly.

-If in this case if the campaign is a part of a JSGME installed modpack, whole modpack has to be installed until the campaign is completed.

-But maybe tomorrow you want to fly some missions in the desert and for this you have to deinstall the mod with JSGME. The results of your campaign would be deleted in this case.

This is the reason why you have to copy the campaign manually into your main Campaign folder.

 

Here the link to the campaign:

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/92369-luftwaffe-ww2-career-1940-45-part02-bob-updated-optional-bf109e4-missions-for-odessa-owners/

Please take some time and read the instructions.

 

I will help you if you have questions.

Hmmm - Beeing neither a MOD nor a JSGME expert, I tried to install ( and it felt straightforward ) but cannot find any missions in my IL2.

 

I am using a Steam install ( so have to copy all this including JSGME into ..\steamapps\... )

Is this maybe my problem / do Mods not run with a Steam installation ?

 

Remark: I do not own the Odessa part so far ( as not available at Steam ). Maybe this also plays a role ?

 

Sorry if my questions are anyhow stupid, but ..well ... it's my first IL2 mod installation.
