As title, I know about Italy forces based in Belgium durin BoB, but these airfield are not present in ClOD map (=impossible to disign historical mission with take off/landing). Anyone have infos about other displacement of Regia Aeronautica during BoB?
Thanks.

Nope, only in Belgium.
You have to improvise.

Andrea,

This site, with a good overview of CAI in BoB,
only mentions Chiévres and Melsbroek are CAI bases.

I think that good compromisse for CAI Campain is France base in Zutker... (0-11 grid, is inland base, flying distance similar to Bengiun ones) as "Belgiun base", with first leg of fly do Nort, and over sea change for apropriated course.

Andrea,

And if you make a "what if" airbase in Belgium?

North of Leper are a flat treeless area suitable. Obviously the place have different type of grass, but is the price for improvise...

I take of from there with a IA wingman.

To make IA land in these place need put Airfield object in place.

The problem I face is when I put these object the take of direction change for a inconvenient direction...
