Now there are a couple more files we need to make. The first is the campaignXXX file. Go to your IL2 1946/Dgen folder, and copy one of these over to edit. You need to make one of these for each grandcampaign you wish. So, lets say you did a serries of Pacific maps ... for the USN, you would make maybe a Dive/Torpedo bomber campaign, fighter campaign, and PBY campaign. So you would need a campaignXXX file for EACH. So maybe you would name them like so:

campaignUn1
campaignUn2
campaignUn3

OR

campaignUnB
campaignUnF
campaignUnP

This is what the file looks like:

* Fighter Europe
Dynamic campaign for an American fighter pilot in Europe using Full Auto-Generation Mode.
Channel42 English Channel, Jan 1942
Egypt42 Tobruk, Mar 1942
Tunesia42 Lybia, June 1942
MedIsle42 Mediteranean Isalnds, Aug 1942
Napoli Operation Torch, Jan 1943
Italy Monte Cassino, May 1943
Channel43 English Channel, Nov 1943
Hungry Operation Tidal Wave, Jan 1944
Germany Germany, Mar 1944
Normandy44 Operation Overlord, June 1944
Ardennes44 Battle of the Bulge, Dec 1944
NWGermany West Germany, Jan 1945
BerlinW Berlin, Mar 1945

The first line after the astric is what appears in the text box when you select the campaigns for each nation. The second line is what describes the campaign. You can edit this to as much detail as you want. The last part is broken up into two parts. Underneath that are all the mapnames in the campaign AND the order they are played in. After writing your mapname, put a space and give a more in depth mapname. The second name is what appears in the textbox where you select what map / plane you want. You can add dates if you want, or not have dates. up to you.
