Took a try or two to load , but once in it is some fun.
I do have a question or two:
After pranging my kite inlanding at Gravesend on first mission ,I noticed someone had left a pretty little MG TA ( I have owned an MGTC & a MGPA much like this ...)parked over by the hanger( Christopher Plummer perhaps?) I made a try to find the car in the pop-up vehicles list but somehow missed it- do you know what it might be listed as?

2.) What Luftwaffe genius sent all those lovely Stukas unescorted in Mission3...Lovely fat stukas that we chased all the way back to France...

1) Maddox Games TA Sports Car
2) there are some escorting 109's;) now where they are would be telling:razz:

Now about that 'landing'... i think the C/O wants a word:shock:

"I think the blame has to fall on a shocking FPS loss on final,suh."

Hi mate

I just did the first mission and thought it was great. The "Oh ****"" moment with the Tiger Moths worked well! :grin: Loved the mass taxi and take off too ... added great atmosphere.

I know I am going to enjoy this campaign. Thanks for your work. I may wait for the patch and (hopefully) the planned FPS improvements (as I had quite a few stutters and pauses) before continuing but I cant wait to get stuck in.

Thanks again!

this looks really good for thanks the effort! i love the hurri! how about a polish squadron hurricane campaign! those were heroes.

naz- stutters? in first mission?. My rig is fairly similar to yours(1.5Gb 580 tho). There are a couple of bits in later missions that are taxing in the later half of the campaign, as the size of the bomber forces increases. REports on such issues are very welcome- if nothing else i'll know what to avoid with the next one.

Polish Squadron? yeah it would be good and i did consider 303, however as they did become operational later in the battle, which might easily become a stutter fest on anything but 'super' rigs.
You will find references to Polish pilots who were posted to the squadron as replacements in Augustin some of the later briefings.

Pretty little MGTA alright even if it is only gray...

Many thanks for your work on this - very nice missions.

One issue I have is that I move on to the next mission fine if I play one mission after another in one session. However if I come out of the game and then go back later my progress is not saved and I have to start again from mission 1?

I had no problem with the stock campaigns, so any idea what I have done wrong anyone?

Bolox helped me out with this tip:
did you create a folder named the same as campaign folder (campaign_501) in //docs/1csoftclub/il2.../mission/campaign ?
(note MISSION not missions )

when you progress thru missions it keeps track of progress in a file created here called state.

this will have a line battleindex (INT)

where "(INT)" is a number, 0= new campaign, 1=mission #1 completed-play mission #2, etc.

if you really want to you can edit this number to advance/retard campaign progress as desired

It worked for me.

They weren't in the battle until the last 2 weeks of it. 501 were in France from the start all the way through the BoB too.
