Hello Guys,



I have finally uploaded at Mission 4 Today a bunch of dynamic RAF modded campaigns:



1) RAF Battle Over Europe campaigns modded: featuring the Typhoon Mk Ib, Spitfire Mx XIVc & LF XIVe, Tempest Mk V 11 Lbs & 13 Lbs, Mosquito B Mk IV & B Mk XVI as flyable aircraft over Normandy and the Ardennes.

2) More significantly, a major update to my RAF campaigns, featuring the first DGen campaigns where you fly over a modded map! In this case there is a Battle of Britain sub-campaign, where you can fly the Spitfire Mk I, and a Fortress Europe 1943 sub-campaign where you can fly the Typhoon Mk Ib and the Spitfire Mk XII, over the Battle of Britain summer map by Fly_Zo. I also adapted Compans' textures to that map.

Here are a few screenshots:

Take-off near Maidstone:





One enemy on the other side of the Channel:



Flying over South England:





As you can see here, new campaign briefings for the Battle of Britain, and the modded map appears on the left: you can see land for the U.K., instead of a tiny island on the original Normandy map. This is the Battle of Britain summer map by Fly_Zo.



Unfortunately due to DGen limitations, most missions will take place over enemy territorry, which is odd for the Battle of Britain... sorry for that. However in the air you will not notice it, and when you get back to base, at least you will have the feeling to fly over the Channel.

For the 1943 sub-campaign "Fortress Europe", that is not a problem: you will take the offensive into enemy territorry, flying the Typhoon Mk Ib or the Spitfire Mk XII:





The briefing screen also shows the modded map, the first time this is made possible and released for DGen:









I have also arranged for you to fly the Hurricane Mk IId over the desert:







Enjoy!

(For this to work you need the payware add-on Battle Over Europe, as well as the suitable EnjoyR patch and a modded game with the required flyable aircraft...).


P.S. for Fly_Zo: thanks a lot for your maps. The only way for this DGen stuff to work is to use a map which is in fact a stock map with a modded actors_static, as you have done for the Normandy map to transform it into a BoB map; if you have a better load.ini than mine with a better look, please let me know. Also on your map London is not populated... If you could update your BoB series of maps with a populated London and better textures, that would be great and I would include it in these campaigns. Again THANK YOU!

WoooW

fantastic news , i'll d/l it ASAP

as for "updated" actors.static goes .... i have one with populated London and added railway on Brit land , only problem is that it uses objects from 4.09 game version so it may cause problems for online players ( they should "disable" normandy map folder before joining server )....If you're interested i can send you files .

many thanks for this treat

Im a bit confused, what are the EnjoyR patched for BoE? I really want to install this!!

[Guest]

No man they are two different things you can get the EnjoyR patch at M4T and you have to order the payware BOE add on.

BOE = Battle Over Europe. It is a payware add-on for DGen. A must IMHO.

EnjoyR patches are also a must: these are freeware patches adding also freeware DGen campaigns. They also contain the software JSGME.

My campaigns are designed to work on a modded game install with all these already working, i.e. in addition to the flyable planes, BOE, EnjoyR patch for BOE (or BOE + Ostfront if you also have Ostfront, or BOE + TLD + Ostfront if you have BOE, Ostfront and TLD as well), and JSGME.

All this is indicated in the read-me and you can find EnjoyR patches at Mission 4 Today.

Happy flying!

Vince

is BOE in 1946?

if not how do you buy it?

[vtrelut]

BOE is available on the internet, check at Just Flight web site (Google is your best friend for this, I have no link myself).

[vampire_pilot]

yes, an updated actors.ini please!!!!!!!!!!!

why not make it available here?

[vtrelut]

I will release an update soon...

Flying over London:








The same treatment will be applied to other sub-campaigns, and I will replace the B5N2 as fake of Fairey Battle AI in the last Battle of France sub-campaign by the more credible Fairey Battle, as AI, available here, by Ranwers:



Thank you Fly_Zo and Ranwers, we can now have more realistic and immersive campaigns!

[Rowddy]

dear Vtrelut i have a question i installed your campaign and it is visible in the Game i can even select a rank and select all the planes i wanna fly but the next step it goes wrong. My PC gives a loud peeep signal and that's it. no error no nothing but also no new campaign, Any idea what that might be and how to fix it??

[vtrelut]

Dear Rowddy,

Do you have BOE and EnjoyR patches installed on your game?

You may also post the last few lines of your DGenERROR.log which must be in your game's root folder.

[Rowddy]

hi vtrelut Yes i have BOE installed the EnjoyR patches i'm not sure though, you have a link for those patches so i can check? About the DgenERROR log i have 2 of them 1 is called DgenERROR and the other is called DgenERROR2.

i post firts the DgenERROR:

and now the first lines from the DgenERRROR2 because it is much bigger, the last lines are just mission data:

oh i just checked the ardennes map map it is in my Il-2 Sturmovik 1946/MODS/MapMods/Maps so that must is there i have no clue why it gives an error though it containes as far as i can see all the right files. I also don't know if that's the couse.
