IMO, the only way a BoB installment would kill off Cliffs would be if it also included a flyable Wellington, Blenheim, Do-17, Beaufighter, and the Regia Aeronautica planes.

 

Like, RoF hasn’t been killed off because I find myself going back there to fly the Felixstowe and Sikorsky S-22

 

I see. Aficionado status. Like some people still like to occasionally play IL2:1946. Nothing wrong about that, if it serves your gaming desire. I do the same with IL2:1946 if I feel the itch to play some anti-B17 missions. Happens once in a while.

All about building in the interim.

Maybe once BoX is no longer the team focus, they may allow a team of modellers to create a BoB expansion?

Korea is here for a while, then the Pacific, so a BoB expansion for BoX if allowed to be created by an external team could be a way forward 

VR and Clouds are all sorted, it 'just' needs a few BoB era aircraft and it's enough to build from?

Currently CloD appears to have ground to a halt. No news, barely any contact from the team, no indication VR is yet to be successful (after 10-years), no indication Truesky will work without bugs and now Simul (the developers are gone), not much hope that any game breaking bugs can be fixed, no news on whatever the latest Speedtree is they are using this month, so as it stands, a VR capable play area with a BoB era Spitfire/Hurricane/He-111 (maybe a Wellington) and 109...and an aircraft expansion pack may be all that's needed to provide a BoB era experience for BoX.

 

Potentially at the current progress rate of TFS, maybe it could be released before V6 even sees the light of day.

 

Of course, there are some great modellers on the TFS team...maybe they could consider offering to create a BoB pack for BoX....while they wait for VR/Truesky/Speedtree and the VU to be coded?

The (preliminary) BF109-F1 extension for the mod is now working well, I have created/ flown already 3 late October 1940 I./JG51 campaign missions.

Here my post / suggestion to add a "official" BF109-F1 weapon mod for the F2:

Download, to be installed after the installation of the main mod:

Hello, yes I put the first one: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/deylkxkvzweoqwk/1940_Battle_of_Britain_Mod_early_Off_Winters_additions.7z/file

Then the second one: https://www.mediafire.com/file/fy4rwq6wb0ip9x2/1940_Battle_of_Britain_Mod_early_v02.zip/file in my JSGME and activate with it 

in this order.

When I try the Spitfire MkII with the mission: 1940-08-13a-Adlertag-SpitfireMKIIa-Scramble I always have a MkV and no specific skins.

Oh, the old forum is still working!

I have already transferred the Mod to the new forum.

In general please install at first always the main mod

https://www.mediafire.com/file/fy4rwq6wb0ip9x2/1940_Battle_of_Britain_Mod_early_v02.zip/file

Please wait a bit with the additions by Off_Winters, he will optimize these soon.

The skin with the invisible cannons is already included in the main mod.

I have just downloaded/installed from new the mod and the demo missions and it worked.
