American Career Campaigns - jxeboy - 16.01.2010
Hello, First post here.
I was wondering if someone could recommend a good American offline fighter campaign. I really enjoy the campaigns that cover a long period of time, and are almost like you're starting with a squadron in the beginning and going though the war with them. I wanted to know if anything like this is available for the US. I'm mostly interested in the European stuff, and I have seen a lot of campaigns focusing on the fight with Japan, but I haven't seen too many focusing on US vs Germany.
Also if it helps I would really enjoy it if I could find campaigns that are p51 or p47 or both!
Anyways, thanks for the help, this is a wonderful site!

one i really liked over at mission 4 today is called The Fighting Cocks. In it you fly a P-47 with the 65th Fighter Squadron “Fighting Cocks”, a good mix of aerial combat and mud moving

At mission4today, look for "reign of Steel" and "Day of the cobra", one is P51, the other is P47. And, if you like the P51, you really MUST play "Legend of Y29", it's simply the best one available.

My America's Ace of Aces Campaign is as American as you can get. The final version is in beta test now. In this campaign you follow in the very big shoes of Richard Bong. You will fly in all of his combat missions that he scored a victory. It is as accurate as I can make it.
Here is an earlier version ... http://mission4today.com/index.php?name ... ls&id=3830
I'd wait a few days for the final one. This time the video tracks will work.
Following very soon will be my first installment of a huge WWIII in 1946 magnum opus featuring jets and those weird German wonder weapons you have always wondered about in IL2 1946. Now you will get to use them. The first installment is waiting to be beta tested and it will be a USAAF Fighter Pilot campaign Chapter One.
Here is the ReadMe
World War Three 1946 Readme
Storyline for 1946 WWIII
Introduction
January 23, 1946
Stalin's former allies have demobilized entire armies and have sent many of their armed forces home. The US and England have a fraction of their former forces stationed on the European mainland and have shown no backbone in resisting Soviet incursions. The only thing holding Stalin back from his vision of a communist Europe dominated by the USSR is the fear of the American nuclear bomb.
He has seen the devastation it has brought to the Empire of Japan. Although he has no doubt that his armed forces can storm through the blasted hulk of the former Germany and France he is held in check by the fear of nuclear destruction from the skies.
To intimidate Stalin further the US has based a squadron of B29 Super Fortresses in West Germany. The B29 is an offensive weapon not a defensive weapon. It is a first strike weapon. This only fuels Stalin's paranoia.
In addition his former allies are gathering far too many of the German scientists and their wonder weapons and stealing them away to work on even more destructive weapons and delivery systems.
Comrade Stalin needs to create a buffer so that the motherland is never subject to attack again. His vision is that all future wars will be fought in the no mans land that is the former Nazi homeland and he is convinced that there will be more wars despite the American atomic bomb. It's all a matter of where and when these wars will be fought because Capitalism and Communism cannot occupy the same space.
Some say the second atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki was a demonstration for Stalin's benefit and to reinforce the power of the atom bomb in his mind. In addition it was to demonstrate that America has not only one but many bombs and is ready to use them. The plan has worked until today.
Today Stalin receives word through his spy master and massive network of agents that American has a total of only 6 nuclear bombs. Previously he believed that they had many more and this fear is the only thing that kept his paranoia and ambitions in check. With this news the plan for the domination of Western Europe begins.
No longer will the West be allowed to dictate it's will on the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Stalin. He will once and for all remove the threat to Mother Russia. No longer will there be a gun pointed at his head from West Germany.
A massive and very well concealed mobilization begins.
As a Major in the USAAF you have flown over 100 combat missions in both Europe and the Mediterranean. Because of your special status your official victory score is top secret due to the nature of you assignments.
You have been assigned to a special unit that is working on former German Wonder Weapons that are in our possession. Your specific assignment is to assess the combat capabilities of the various weapons platforms. As such you will be helping to design and test in any future combat situations, America's newest weapons systems.
Installation:
1. Find your folder with your IL2-1946.exe in it. There should be a folder that is titled Missions. Inside that folder is the Campaign Folder. Open that folder and find the US Folder. Open that folder. Copy the WWIII1946Fighter Folder into that folder/subdirectory.
2. The WWIIISkins folder contains skins that you might want to use to make the campaign more pleasing to the eye and more immersive. If you don't use the skins your Soviet planes will have no markings. Your campaign will run just fine but won't look as realistic.
The Skins folder is in the PaintSchemes Folder which is in the main IL2-1946 main folder.
The skins all start with WWIII and then the plane model. Unfortunately there are some changes I had to make so...
WWIIIYP80 goes in the P-80a folder
WWIIIP3 goes in the Pe-3 Bis folder
WWIIIP2 goes in the Pe-2 Series 359 folder
WWIIIAR234 Goes in the PR-234B-2 folder
WWIIIMig9 goes in the Mig-9FS folder
Place the individual skins in the appropriate folder: ie. the WWWIIILag7 skin goes into the Lag7 folder.
Starting you career
1. Go to Pilot Carrer
2. Choose USAAF with the rank of Major
3. Choose WWIII 1946
4. Choose the following in the Difficulty menus.
Turn off the following toggles. You do not want these options chosen for various reasons
a. Turn off Cockpit Always On - I want you to look around and see all the cool stuff
b. Turn off No External Views - For the same reason
c. Turn off No Icons - Those Lerches and ME 163 are very small
d. Turn off No Instant Success - Don't use this very often. There are some missions that just don't have anywhere to land in them.
e. Turn off No Map Icons - At this point in history radar was able to vector you to your targets pretty well so use the map to do this.
I need help in completing this massive project. Be a part of Air Simulation History.
