The guide is called C# for Dummies but you can start with the following. I do not know C# but have a lot of fun with this simple script. It is a huge step forward from original IL-2 online.

This is a sample script to create a small 'campaign' containing a main mission and 3 sub-missions.

Copy this script to Notepad and save it as sample.cs into the same folder your mission will be located, e.g.
C:\Users\%user%\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Multi\Dogfight\My_mis1\
Scripts have to be saved with .cs extension and have the same name as the main mission.

Create and edit your main mission in FMB. In this example the main mission name should be sample.mis because the script name is sample.cs.
Make sure you have both sample.mis and sample.cs in the following directory (on the drive you have your Documents folder):
C:\Users\%user%\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Multi\Dogfight\My_mis1\

Create and edit 3 missions you want to be loaded into the main mission with FMB.
Put these 3 missions in the same directory, name them as mission1.mis, mission2.mis and mission3.mis.
That's it.

In case you saved your mission files into other directory than Multi/Dogfight/Dogfight/My_mis1/ , then edit 3 filepaths in this file.
e.g. the line GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/Dogfight/My_mis1/mission1.mis" contains the path to the 1st sub-mission. *

Change message text after GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter commands to whatever you like (usually mission objectives and their location on the map).
The text in this example is visible to both sides for simplicity.

You may wish to download and use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express to open and edit .cs files. It is free and makes .cs files easy to read and understand.

All text after // marks are comments describing what the script does.
You may play your mission in MP or as a SP mission if you create a passworded server.

I hope to put up some missions using this script to Repka server soon.

upd. Corrected an error, replaced 1800 ticks with 18000 for 10 minutes.
