Look for the folder:
..\Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\bob\mission\campaign
there you will find a file named campaigns.ini
open it in a editor, normaly you will find something like that:
[Main]
campaign_gb
campaign_de

[campaign_gb]
folder campaign_gb
title Cliffs Of Dover
image Poster.bmp

[campaign_de]
folder campaign_de
title Adler Angriff
image Poster.bmp

For example i use this campaign http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=25640
unpack the Zip, then you will find a directory named campaign_bd, copy this to ..\Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\bob\mission\campaign
then add the red lines to the campaigns.ini
[Main]
campaign_gb
campaign_de
campaign_bd

[campaign_gb]
folder campaign_gb
title Cliffs Of Dover
image Poster.bmp

[campaign_de]
folder campaign_de
title Adler Angriff
image Poster.bmp

[campaign_bd]
folder campaign_bd
title Messerschmidts over Dunkirk
image Poster.bmp

Save the file and start Cliffs of Dover, now you should be able to select and play the Campaign.
Attention after a Update or Game Intentigrity Check the file will be overritten, so you should make a backup.

Thanks for that mate...that explains things just nicely ~S~

So in here i have my Campaigns and the Campaign.ini allows me to see them ingame..cool

I also have 2 .dll's in the same folder Parts>miss>Campaign

Jg51_mission.dll
DynamicCampaign.dll

What are these and should they be here?

Also a

Campaigns.ini.bak file << should this be here (what does it do)

thanks for your help

Jg51_mission.dll and DynamicCampaign.dll are part of user campaigns, so if you have both campaigns running you shouldn't delete them

The campaigns.ini.bak is a Backup file, may be you have installed a campaign with its own installer, so the installer manipulate the campaigns.ini and created the backup file.

You should take a look at

this tool makes campaign installing much easier.
