You will fly as a Spitfire pilot with 64 Squadron from Kenley. The series of missions accurately covers Phase 1 of BOB, the Luftwaffe's testing of RAF Fighter Command between the 10th July and the 9th August 1940. There is one mission where you fly as wingman to 'Sailor Malan' with 74 Squadron out of Manston. This was the day that Flt. Lt. Malan wounded Maj. Werner Molders.

Thanks for this, your work is appreciated.

PS: the content of \il2_cod_folder\ goes into steamapps\il2cod\ folder, while the content of \il2_cod_settings_folder\ goes into documents & settings\...\il2cod\ settings folder

PPS: dflion please feel free to use this as further basis for updates or whatever

And thanks for making it into a campaign, nice...

Great stuff. I've only done the training missions (loved the find Stonehenge mission - easy enough to wean a softy like me off the "map" window and actually set my compass!), but they're great so far. A real portent of things to come.

S!

Ok, I think I got it. So, the second folder goes into the 1CSoftclub-folder...

Damn', that was complicated!

Tried the first tiger moth mission, and I just found myself in an airfield with a slowly rotating plane... - I have turned the text windows off, do I need them enabled? Will there be some sorts of instructions? - Damn', I don't even think I know how to turn the text window on again!

I really liked your Stuka video Freycinet, keep up the good work.

When I made this Tigermoth mission, I tryed to get the 'surface wind' working in the FMB. This is what is skewing your Tigermoth around (I think?). Just get it started quickly, and start taxying. This mission is really just a familiarization flight. The real Tigermoth (which has been faithfully modelled by Oleg) is a wonderful aircraft to fly and thankfully we have a lot of them still flying in Australia (OZ).

PS Don't worry about the text window, it is still not working properly in the FMB.

Hi Dflion,

Thanks so much for your work and your kind words about my little video!

- I am away from my gaming computer for the next week, so just out of curiosity (and to give this thread a well-deserved bump! - what happens after I take off? - Do I get directions, do I have to fly somewhere in particular?

As mentioned, unfortunately we haven't got the full FMB yet and I can't script instructor orders. In this mission it is just a familiarization flight, 'circuit and bump'. On a later Tigermoth mission you have to set your compass, fly cross-country and find Stonehenge? Use the 'map window' to help you.

{dz} The smoke pot is situated directly behind the range. The range is situated in a small 'box valley' and consists of a series of target boards, set-up on your approach direction. You are 'scored' on how many hits you achieved.

One thing I did notice when testing this mission, the smoke appears when you are nearly at the range, then when you fly away from the range you see a lot more smoke? For some reason you are not getting a distant 360 degree view of the smoke?

thanks dflion, :)
i have same problem as you with the smoke,after you fly over, looks like the whole hill is on fire..ha
enjoying the missions so far,cheers
