Default New Add-On from Desastersoft?

Without announcing it to anyone Desastersoft put another Add-On to their order- and product-list.

A little summary:
4 new campaigns:
- Fliegerasse! Adolf Galland – the Expert -1940 / Bf 109 E4
- 7. Staffel/ Jagdgeschwader "Schlageter" 26 – operation in the battle of Britain
No. 303 Squadron – Polish fight for Britains victory – Hurricane I (ROTOL) und Spitfire IIa
- Kampfgeschwader "Legion Condor" 53 – commitment over Britain – 1940 – Heinkel 111 H2
printed map
flight course calculator as PDF-file
printed handbook
90 additional A/C skins for Adolf Gallant and JG 26

Looks like it's in german only for now.

Thanks for the info, I was looking at the Desastersoft website last night and noticed this but wasn't sure what it was as it's all in German.

Been interested in some decent offline campaigns and was wondering if any of the Desastersoft CLoD campaigns available in English yet? Also, I had heard good things about the Desastersoft campaign but that was a while ago - do they work with the current (final) version of CLoD? How are the AI and radio commands?

As they don´t dig too deep into the engine, you have the "stock" AI and Radio-Commands. Used at it´s best, but still stock-CloD.

With their newest add-on, you can call a friendly alarm-start which will spawn and come to help you...

To sum it up: Desastersoft is the best you can get out of CloD if you want to play offline, but it is still CloD...

EDIT: You can order and get it right now if you order via Desastersoft-Shop. 15. November is only the amazon-Date...
EDIT: Translation of Channel Battles is WIP.

I will not buy this expansion. CloD's engine doesn't make it worth my while. I feel a little sorry for Desastersoft, because the missions are well designed and could be very enjoyable.

For me they don´t work, unfortunately...

Probably the easier way: Change the default-setting in the config-Files. Search in this forum, it is explained somewhere...
If you "fix" it in the FMB, it probably won´t work well with the Career-System...

I have the English version of 'Wick v Dundas' via download and its excellent.
Full realism with no outside views, no map icons and giro compass navigaton is brutal.
I am looking forward to the English version of Channel battles and will definately buy that.
Try the free English demo of Wick as you get five sorties.

Its working fine with the latest 1.11 official patch although i really hate that the engines now are already started when on the ground (which was introduced by 1c in 1.11 and is not Destastersofts fault). Spoils the immersion for me. I may ask them if they can fix it!.

This plus HeinKills missons have kept up my interest in CloD.
It definately adds the campaigns that 1c left out for us offline single players.

I don't even ply cliffs of fail anymore, but you put Galland's name on anything and you have my interest.
Will buy, even if CoD doesn't do justice to all of desastersoft's hard work.
