[Download] Defense of the Reich campaign 2.1 - modded
#1

Defense of the Reich 2.0 by Boelcke

At a short glance:

More than 100 Luftwaffe skins done by myself, a huge new skinpack even for allies, more subcampaigns added, more flyable planes from the modding hangar, larger bomber formations with 39 bombers and a new USAAF fighter campaign included ... the result from six months continious work ... soon at your home theater Smile

From the readme:

The campaigns were tested with IL2 Pacific Fighters Vers. 4.09m, UP 2.01 and DGEN.EXE V 4.0.8.6.

You need to install UP 2.01 (HSFX 4.1 should also work)

http://ultrapack.il2war.com/

and Antos Bf 109 Ultimate Pack

http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,6424.0.html



The following planes are optional

Fw 190 D15:

Me 262 B1 nightfighter:

Me 262 A Ultimate pack:

http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,6922.0.html

The zip file contains a lot of files, don´t hesitate, it´s easy done:


1. RV_modded.exe

The campaign files with self installer.

Double click the file and when the installer is asking you where to install, choose the Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 root folder – no subfolders!

After that you can start the Luftwaffe campaign “Boelckes defense of the Reich” in the campaign rooster or the USAAF fighter campaign “Boelckes Battle over Germany” in the USAAF campaign rooster.

That´s it!

All the other files in the file package are optional.


2. install_dgen_exe.exe

The latest version 4.0.8.6 of dgen.exe with self installer. Double click the file and install the content into the Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 root folder – not into subfolders!



3. Seasons pack.zip

If you´re using UP 2.01 you can use the files included in this zip file (for HSFX I don´t know) to enable the winter and autumn Berlin map. To do this copy alle the included files into the DGEN folder of IL-2 AFTER you have installed the campaign files (topic 1). Overwrite the old ones.

4. Smaler bomber formations.zip

In the campaign the enemy heavy bombers will appear in box formations with 39 instead of 26 planes. This adds much more immersion to the game, cause there is much more the feeling, you´re flying through a real bomber stream.

I´m playing with an Intel i5 750, 4 GB RAM and RADEON 5850 and it works well for me.

If you are causing performance problems with older, slower hardware, you can go back to the 26 planes bomber formations.

To do this copy alle the included files into the DGEN folder of IL-2 AFTER you have installed the campaign files (topic 1). Overwrite the old ones.

5. Coni_ini_guide.pdf

A PDF file with a small guide for confi.ini file tweaking, which i´ve found at mission4today.com.


6. Optional planes.zip

If you have installed one of the optional planes (Fw 190D15, Me 262A or/and Me 262 B1), you can enable these planes by copying the file

planesdeO.dat

which is included in the Optional planes.zip file, into the DGEN folder of IL-2 AFTER you have installed the campaign files (topic 1). Overwrite the old one.

Attention: You can only choose the plane, which is installed. For example you have installed the Fw 190D15 but not the Me 262A and Me 262 B1, don´t choose the Me 262A or the Me 262 B1 cause the campaign will crash. If choosing the Fw190D15, there will be no problem.

The campaign conmtains a Luftwaffe and as bonus an USAAF fighter campaign. The USAAF fighter campaign comes with airstart only.

1. The Luftwaffe campaign contains the following subcampaigns:

- Germany Berlin 1943

You encounter bomber formations mostly without escort. Sometimes some P47 and/or P38 will appear, but only a few.

- Big week February 1944 (*new*)

The bomber formations are now larger and all the formations are now escorted. P51 fighters are shown the first time.

- Germany Berlin Spring 1944

The USAAF fighters are becoming more aggressive and skilled.

- Balaton Ungary 1944

You will encounter formations of the 5th USAAF from italy, with famous untis like the checkertail clan and others.

- Northern germany atumn 1944

In autumn 1944 the luftwaffe units were reassembled and equipped with new fughters after the huge losses suffered at the invasion battles. You will now encounter USAAF and RAF planes and new planes like the Fw190D9 will be available for you. The missions are totaly different to the previous, with much more fighter bomber interception and twin engined bomber formations of the 2nd TAF and 9th USAAF.

- Berlin end of 1944

The last stand against huge formations of US planes over Berling. Mostly bomber interception missions. A lot of new planes are available even the new jets.

- Germany 1945

The US planes are doing much more fighter sweeps and ground attack missions. The missions are harder for Luftwaffe pilots.

- Battle of Berlin 1945

Defending the town against the russian army, you will encounter VVS forces in large numbers. It´s totally different to the missions against the USAAF.

- Jet age, the last days

The intention was to create a short subcampaign of the last days before defeat, with all the jet planes available in Il-2.

Thanks for the FW-190 Sturm ! I love this beast Smile

Edited:
In my conf.ini I have only this:
[DGen]
AirIntensity=Normal
CampaignMissions=Normal


You wrote that is better when is like that:
[DGen]
RandomFlights=2
AirIntensity=Medium
NoAirfieldHighlight=1
MissionDistance=75
MaxBomberSkill=0
MaxFLAK=10


Should I add all those additional lines ?

I have added a pdf file with a guide for conf.ini editing, please have a Look at it.

EDIT: You can add serveral things into the confi.ini, i recommend the lines posted above. The campaign will also work with your settings, but will be different to play.
The best way is to use the settings i recommended, if you don´t like it, change it back. There is no risk. The PDF file with the guide will give you a better understanding what things meant.

Just a quick question. I d'loaded this campaign but I need to know what keyboard key is the broken vertical line so I can edit the Dgen files. Thanks in advance.

You can't create the symbol with the keyboard, you have to copy and paste it.
