I love the game, but the campain was, how shall I say, very repetitive. Of the 40 or so missions, 30-35 were the exact same mission - intercept bombers. It was the same thing every time - take off, intercept the same planes coming from the same direction, shoot some down, then land. The other 5-6 missions in the campaing were escort missions.

I'm not complaining, as I'm sure this is historically accurate.

I'd like to start another campaign, but would like some suggestions on a personal campaign in which I would fly varying types of missions. I don't really care on which country or aircraft - I'm just looking for a good variety in a campaign.

Thank you for any suggestions.

-Michael

IL2 DCG 3rd Party Campaigns
How to install 3rd Party Campaigns
Lowengrin Monday 28 May 2007

In the 3rd Party Campaigns Download Section of this website, you can find a number of campaigns designed by DCG enthusiasts. Most 3rd Party Campaigns can be installed following these simple instructions.

1. Download the campaign to your computer.
2. Unzip the contents of the download into a new folder within your main IL2DCG installation. (To do this, either create a new folder or make sure your unzip software creates a folder when decompressing the files).
3. If the contents of the download included a folder called DGEN, copy these files over to your game's DGEN folder. Note: be very careful about overwriting files in your DGEN folder as they may prohibit your from starting other DCG or DGEN campaigns. In fact, you may want to make a backup of this folder before adding 3rd Party Campaign files. There may be other files that need to be copied at this time. Consult the readme that accompanies the download for more information.
4. Run IL2DCG.
5. Under Files select Optional 3rd Party Data Folder. Browse to the campaign you wish to start and select the allcampaigns.dcg file to activate it.
6. If you wish to run a Career (DGen Replace Mode) campaign or On-line Campaign (NGen Replace Mode), check these now. If they are checked already, uncheck them and recheck them.

At this point, you should be able to run the 3rd Party Campaign just like any "stock" campaign. Please refer to the article on Modes for more information on running DCG in various methods of running DCG campaigns.

Thank you guys for the responses. I've done a bit of looking at the user generated campaigns, but there seems to be alot of modding necessary for those, which I am not comfortable with. I may try to stick with a stock campaign, but I will look for some user created ones that don't require alot of modding.

What is DBW?

Again, thank you for your responses.

you'll need to register first, but then follow this link, 400+ user made campaigns for the stock game no mods required, knock yourself out.
