[DOWNLOAD] Fighter Boys - A RAF Battle for Britain Campaign! - Poltava - 22.09.2009

Now it can be downloaded, FIGHTER BOYS, a RAF Battle of Britain Campaign, designed for Cannons amazing new Channel map!

It has now (January 5, 2010) been updated to version 1.3 - adding 18 skins, plus a FAQ section. (Previously they campaign used only default skins. This has now been changed all around.)

You can find it here: http://mission4today.com/index.php?name ... ils&id=326



It is a semi-historical, 14-mission static campaign, set in August 1940, portraying the fighting in the air that month during the Battle of Britain. The plan is to eventually make a second campaign covering the fighting in September and early October as well. (And perhaps a third one for the month of June as well.)



As Canons new Channel map is pretty demanding in itself on your computer, I have decided to leave out all action that you can't actually see (or possibly could see) from your cockpit. Also the amount of FLAK and movement of ground and sea units has also been kept down. What really counts is the action in the air, right? And there you will find lots of it. In some missions there are 90+ aircraft in the air at the same time.



Regarding the historicity: the Spitfire Squadron in the campaign is a sort of composite of several 1940 RAF Squadrons. All missions however (except the first one) are based on history in some way, and recreates some of the action of the actual day. I have also tried to follow the actual weather.



I have always included skins in my campaigns, but for once I have decided against it, instead sticking to the default skins. For you that thinks that the default skins are less than perfect, and that care for the looks of the game (I know I do) I strongly and enthusiastically recommend you to get two Mods that I use myself. The first one is VpMedias Skin mod, that makes it very easy to swap the games default skins for ones of your own liking. You can find it here: http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/. The second one is McWolfs Decals shine mod, that gives you MUCH better looking markings on all aircraft, and also includes swastikas on German and Finnish aircraft. You can find it here: viewtopic.php?t=11582&highlight=mcwolf+decal.



The following people has been very helpful playtesting of this campaign, and helped me to avoid a number of errors: Condor345, DoctorWho, Bwf, Dolittle81, King Franky and Nealn. And of course I also want to send a special big, big Thank You to Cannon for his monumental effort in building this map!

Hawkers!

When your Do-17 gets ready, I will redo this campaign and include your beautiful bird in it, faster than you can say "Generalfeldmarschall Hugo Sperrle"!

Why Now ? Why, of all weeks, did you have to pick the one when I'm beginning to really get busy with RL stuff. It's going to be hard to focus now that this campaign's out ! Thanks !

Cheers

Fun campaign on excellent map! Really like flying the carburetored Spitfire and the turn fights with Jerry! Head definitely on a swivel! Currently on Mission 5 with no lost planes yet!

Any chance of a high fidelity version for high end machines? Airfields feel a little lonely with no AAA or other ground action around them including parked planes.

I have a problem. While loading the first mission I get the error message ' Mission loading failed mesh 3do/humans/paratroopers/Germany/mono.sim not created'. I also get 'Russia' instead of ' Germany' in this kind of error message. I guess I'm missing a mod? And if so, which one? Please advise.

- WindWeapon - 23.09.2009

I had that error too on mission 4, but when I reloaded the mission, it loaded fine.

- Aragorn1963 - 23.09.2009

I've tried it four or five times at least, but still the error message shows up.

Been playing a couple missions, having a blast so far. Those are some massive dogfights hock: . I modified the missions a little to add some diversity in the 109s (E1/E3/E4), added skins for all planes, and it's absolutely perfect now.

Got in a couple tight spots, on my own against 6 110s (downed 3 before biting the bullet) or trying to keep those Hurricane jockeys alive by fighting off the 109s buzzing all around them. Doing it over Canon's map makes it even better. Great briefings too, really immersive and complete.

Cheers

Nico
