The info from that time is rather limited; I read that in January 1945 even Lipfert itself was shortly stationed at Piestany airbase and they flew against Soviets and Romanians to Zvolen area (central Slovakia). One Jabo Fw 190 F-8 was shot down by Romanian Bf 109E (!) close to Zvolenska Slatina village.

Place of crash:


Pilot Hermann Heim:


In the north where Czechoslovak Corps were fighting, the aerial support from both sides was negligible.

Thanks Indy 13,
This information on the 'Slovak National uprising' is just what I have been looking for. I am puting the 'finishing-touches' to my campaign 'Long nose Focke-Wulf Eastern Front' which should post on Mission 4 Today at the end of this month. The request for this campaign came from a very dedicated Czech IL2 fan and it has certainly given me a whole new perspective on WWII aerial history in this region.

My campaign uses the Rumanian, Lvov, Hungarian, Berlin and the 'fantastic Slovakian' maps.
Since working on the the Slovakian map I have come to really appreciate what this team managed to do - it has opened up a whole 'new-world' for the game and I am sure Oleg has benefited from the 'graphic advances' it has produced for his BOB Storm of War Simulation. (some of screen shots I have captured in Slovakia, while building the campaign, are absolutely fantastic)

I have also managed to 'get over' some of the map limitations you mention at the end of your information after much 'trial and error', including building a 'test airstrip' - that works, in a secret location on the map.

I have seen a Bessarabia readme too, but nothing new about the med. Is the meditteranean map still a go for 4.09 as well?

This sounds an exciting campaign, but the title is a bit of a mouthfull. Why not just call it "Dora: Eastern Front", or "Dora Pilot: Eastern Front" ? That would sound a lot more memorable and economical to me.

Just my 2 cents.....

Jurinko - I think the airbase at Zlin might benefit from being moved slightly to the East. I haven't been able to get any AI to take off from the south end without hitting that small hill.....
