Cool.. Please, if you could report if the exe file installs it to the mod or the stock version. Or what version you use it with and if it works or not, and thanks ...if you do .

Installed it this morning. Took about 5 minutes. The installer lets you choose where to install it so that was no problem. I am using TF mod and it works good. It replaces the LW campaign that is in the main menu which I dont mind because that was weird (one minute you fly 109, next mission stuka)

Have just played first mission and first impressions...(spoiler warn)

- cool airfield activity as usual for this REDUx campaigns.
- taking off I had a wow moment when I looked out and saw invasion fleet sailing
- good to have tf mod reflections because while i was sightseeing I saw reflection of Blenheim coming in!
- got into dogfight over calais, bad suprise just when I though fight was over I got boumced and killed

Good start!

As planespotter says it will install and run in TF fine.
The only potential problem is with the way the 'scores' are kept- these are kept in a file written to a file in the NON MOD folder in mydocs,
This is 'hardwired' into the scripting.
If you only have 1 install this will work fine regardless of being modded or not, however if you have separate installs, 1 modded and 1 not, and you attempt to run the campaign in both they will both write/read the scores from the same file and will therefore the scores will get out of sync with what you have actually achieved in each version.
Other than that no other problems have been noticed during testing.

But so I guess if you are only running 1 campaign at a time is no problem right, because each every time you start a new campaign it resets?

Correct, the scores are reset to zero on starting in the first missions script, every other mission adds any score(s) to this on completion of mission sucessfully.

Thanks you. So as long as I only have one install or one campaign at a time it is fine. I think from now I will only have the TF mod anyway because I get maybe 5 extra fps and less stutters.

pS now I have made it to mission 3. Mission 2 it was good i got a bunch of ground kills! But the flak at Dover is tough, I am not flying straight over there again! Mission 3 flying wingman I am trying to keep my CO alive but he keeps getting me killed

May be a silly question.. but where do I direct it to install exactly?

Tried
C:\Users\UserName\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\mission\campaign\campaign_de
and after not seeing it, I tried..
C:\Users\UserName\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\campaign\campaign_de
And tried...
C:\Users\UserName\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\mission\campaign

I see the two original campaigns when I open up the campaign section in game.
