Re: 54 squadron campaign - Stratodog - 26.02.2010

TICI Wrote:It is possible to bypass mission # 2 ? And if so how?. I don't think is the Bf_109 E4_bob. The campaign installed,loaded and played the first mission without a glitch .If the issue was the planes in the mission files it should have been detected from the very beginning but everything worked fine until the start of mission # 2.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Try this: go to the folder missions/campaign/GB/54_squadron, open the file called CAMPAIGN with notepad, and eliminate the line that says: 002_54sq_24_May_1205.mis

This will eliminate mission #2 from the campaign and it should then jump to mission #3 if you re-start the game.

Strider, it sounds like you have a problem with the English Channel map. There are some possible solutions in some threads here at AAA. If your channel map runs fine on other missions then possibly there is a corrupt file in your vehicles (specifically the Matilda tank)?

shardana, Sorry there is no way to transfer this to the Beta map it's just not compatible in any way.

- Stratodog - 26.02.2010

Someone found a small glitch in the early missions; there's a German train in England :lol:

I just put it there for some decoration and it has no guns so don't worry. If you're returning to England at low level and are near Canterbury you may see a Choo Choo Train chugging along. It's German. Sorry.

Mission # 2 - TICI - 26.02.2010

I tried removing the mission # 2 but it doesn't work.Comes out a strange Grey lines part of the pilot Jon Doe ? screen.
Before I give up ,there is a possibility to remove other planes besides mine from the beginning of the mission so that it could avoid the collision ? In few words can I put only one plane (Mine)in the tarmac in this mission?.It seems like the collision is in the sky beacuse parts of the plane or planes fall from the sky and one pilot is dead on the ground with parachute.
See if this can help.
Thanks

If you know how to use the Full Mission builder, you could open the mission and reduce the player flight to just one plane. Otherwise, maybe just try a UP2.0 install. It has a switcher so you can switch back to HSFX if you want to. Good luck.

Missions 08_July, 09_July and 11_July are using air.BF_109E4, not air.BF_109E4_BoB, which I discovered from the skins not loading.

Thanks again for this great campaign! I have a new appreciation for the Spitfire Mk I.

- Stratodog - 01.03.2010

Thanks, I saw that too, I was thinking I'd release a patch with this correction, and a correction of the German train in England. (Hopefully there won't me more, but I'm going to wait a while for people to go farther in the campaign.)

Thanks for the great campaign!

Finally got Ultrapack 2 working and installed and flew 1st mission last night. Great fun, shot down 2 Me 109 but burned up my engine in emergency power doing it. Glided to a crash landing at a friendly airfield on the continent. Hope to catch a ship across the channel, join the boys for a pint at the local pub and be up and flying the 2nd mission tomorrow,

Keep the great campaigns coming.

This campaign is very good and well thought out, it's also plenty hard enough for novice pilots like myself and I'm enjoying it a lot.
I did have to go in to the FMB and change the blue train to red, as I could not "skip time" while flying near the south east coast when it was blue(which is a big time saver for me as I tend to die a lot "LOL").

Thanks for making this one for us, and hope that you will post any others that you decide to make in the future.

Cheer's...PanzerFodder...

- Stratodog - 06.03.2010

Yeah, sorry about the train PanzerFodder. At some time soon I will change the train to red and release a version 1.1 with a few other small corrections.

I agree it's difficult to survive. Interestingly enough, even though 54 squadron was almost always outnumbered, I actually decreased the amount of Germans in many cases to make it a little easier to survive. It's simply amazing to me that Guys like Al Deere, Colin Grey, 'Prof' Leathart, and George Gribble, were able to survive it at all. Most of the original squadron and many of the replacement pilots were killed.

When I flew this campaign in order to test all of the missions, I got shot down several times, (although I somehow managed, by pure luck to not get killed), and I actually knew what was coming because I built the missions!! I remember that during the Dunkirk part of the campaign I was hit on every single mission (including once by 'friendly fire') and I some how made it back to base every time. (Lucky)

Keep at it, Britain needs you at this difficult time, and watch out for Adolf Galland, he's one tough SOB.

I get to fly first mission but second refuses to work...have tried a reinstall of the campaign with no luck...sigh...I have a HSFX4.11 install...any hope of making this work?
Thanks!

Deitz, The campaign is only currently compatible with UP2.0 I have created a set of missions that are compatible with HSFX4.1 or greater, I have not released them yet.

My reason for using UP2.0 is that the flight models for Battle of Britain era fighters are much better. I might release the HSFX compatible missions, if there is a big need for them. So far I've only had a few inquiries.

- Dietz - 09.03.2010

Gee - that is too bad...After that first mission I was anxious to see what else you came up with! With the new spitfire1 & new & improved Bf-109E's & New Maps the BoB campaigns have really captured my ( & others ) interest.
Also Oleg's SoV BoB still seems like it is quite a ways away!
Please let me know if you make this compatable with 4.11- I'll be the first to install it! Smile

You've made a very nice campaign, thank you!

Three words describe it best: Watch your fuel! :wink:
