hi all,

Firstly many thanks for a lively modding community. I worked on WW2f sound mods a few years ago so know how hardworking and inventive you are!!!

A little help, please - I have installed the Enjoyr campaigns pack and four skin packs to go with them but how do i know if the appropriate skin is being used by IL2? E.g. in the RAF and German "Africa" campaigns, the player flight aircraft are in western europe camo not desert camo. Have I just got the wrong skin packs or the right ones but they haven't installed properly. All installed on 1946 (no add-ons) with 4.08m

I guess I am asking how to identify the aircraft & skins that the campaign wants to load, then i can check that I have those skins in the aircraft folder

Also, if I do install an Africa camo skin, will that show up in a campaign in europe i.e. will I overwrite the current skin? Or are they unique. Looks like they can be made unique with the folder name

Finally as an aside, some of the campaigns in west europe come up with russian maps and objective names. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance

Martin

The Installer puts the files in C:/program files/ubi soft/IL2 1946 folder. The game is under c:/program files/ubisoft/IL2 1946, no space between ubi and soft. you should just be able to copy/paste the IL2 folder into your ubisoft folder and everything should go where its supposed to.

If this works please let us know.

It is true that some campaigns, such as Jumo's Western Front campaigns, use Eastern Front maps as fakes... This is unfortunately the case because there are few maps available for the Western Front.

However, newer DGen campaigns use more of the recent maps such as the Africa map, the NWE map, the Ardennes and Normandy maps (this is the case for my French Wings stuff), even though this is still not suitable in many cases. That is an old issue with the sim. For instance, I use Crimea as a fake for Sicily/Med, which is not that great, but it is better than nothing IMHO.

When you see the map next to the briefing, that is an inconvenience. When you actually launch the mission and fly, that works OK, so have plenty of nice flights!

Thanks Vtrelut, I'm looking forward to flying your campaigns!

Still got the problem though, I can see that the skins which the campaign refers to are in the folders , but the skins in the missions aren't the right ones for the theatre. What am i doing wrong? Africa campaigns is best example
