RAF campaign REDUX - released

[Low Flyer]

You've probably installed the campaign into your 'documents' folder... I did. .

Once you've found the 'campaign_gb' folder, copy and paste the contents into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\bob\mission\campaign\campaign_gb\

...or run the installer again stipulating the above path.

Up to you if you want to back up the original contents first. I think the majority view is that losing it would be no great loss.

Low Flyer,

I did as you advised, but still don't see the "Redux", although for all I know, I am flying the new version. Iwent ahead and flew four missions. Got two kills, bellied in once and bailed out once. Not the best showing. I guess it was a draw.

I still have to wonder why the instructions said to put the file in the Documents folder. Does that work for some people?

According to the mission narratives, are you flying for the 'Fat Cats' squadron? That would be the original campaign.

Not everyone installs the game same place. Mine is on an ssd drive notnin programs folder. So you have to choose yourself where to install. It is said in the readme. If you don't choose then it goes into mydocuments and you can cut and paste it where you want but lowflyer tells where above.

Don't waste time on original campaign it is broken and plot is just stupid. No medals, no promotions.

When I get home tonight, I think I will just load "Redux" in the Single mission folder. That seemed to work for other campaigns I have downloaded.

yes thatbwill give you missions but you wont get medals and total kills as campaign goes on I think. Why you can't just put in the cod campaign folder?

It really is easy to install to the proper campaign location, during the installation process it gives you an example of where it should be. Mine was a little different as I have it installed on a different hard drive than my system hard drive, but all I had to do was point the installer to the steam/steamapps/common/IL-2Sturmovik cliffs of dover/parts/bob/mission/campaign folder, and it installs and overwrites the campaign_gb folder and files, with the redux campaign.

I have not flown any of the campaign yet, but did launch it and the splash screen did come up showing it was the redux campaign.

Thanks...yes this is quite well buried

Looking forward to playing offline, with what appears to be something worthwhile at-last

Cheers, MP

It seems to me that some of these missions, having been crafted around a creative Briefing and "mini-story", would be a natural for ClOD community movie-makers to put together interesting movies. 3/4 of the screenplay has been laid out for them, the Recording is the "performance" by the "actors". The movie-makers could focus on the cinematography and editing, plus narration and/or dialogue.

Again, the work on the creative core idea(s)/plot(s) has been done by the ReDux creators.

imho
