DYNAMIC CAMPAIGNS FRENCH WINGS 1943-1945

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody,

 

 

It is my pleasure to wish you a Happy New Year 2008 from Japan!

 

And for a New Year gift, here is mine: version 8 of my campaigns.

 

Significant improvements:

 

• Activated functionality to customize your campaigns: you can now set the difficulty level by adding the following lines to the [DGen] section of your conf.ini:

 

CampaignMissions=Easy (or Normal or Hard)

CampaignAI=Easy (or Normal or Hard)

 

The first parameter reduces or increases the number of friendly aircraft vs opponents;

the second one reduces or increases the skill level of friendly aircraft vs enemy ones.

That way you may avoid to face systematically the outcome displayed above…

 

• Additional flyable aircraft: Spitfire Mk Vc with 4x20 mm guns, Spitfire Mk VIII, Douglas A-20J Boston IV, Martin B-26 Marauder (the last 2 being A-20G hacks, thanks to Madtoc and UF_Josse).

• New skins: A-20C, A-20G, B-17F, B-24, Spitfire Mk Vc, Spitfire Mk VIII, Spitfire Mk IX, Bf-109Gs, FW-190-A, Me-210, Hs-129, Fi-156, Ju-87B, FW-189, P-40s. Thanks a lot to Beebop, Buglord, Carts, Claymore, Crazy277, Dusty61, Falkster, Imme, Jutocsa, Kristorf, Madtoc, Monguse, Sparty, Tchaika, UF_Josse, UF_Zargos, Vpmedia!

• Reworked thoroughly mission scripts, adding more mission types and variety.

• Reworked order of battle for North African campaigns: added more units and AI aircraft, based on historical data: A-20C, B-17F, B-24, Bf-109G6, Hs-129, Me-210, FW-190-A Jabo, Macchi MC-200, Fiat G-50, Me-323. More interesting encounters… I really recommend you to try these desert campaigns.

• New French roundels with yellow outer ring for use with IL-2 MAT Manager, thanks to Quetzalcoatl.

• 2 new dynamic campaigns on Spitfires (bringing the total to 14 dynamic campaigns; previous Spitfire campaign split into 3 separate campaigns):

* RAF fighter squadron 326 “Nice”

* RAF fighter squadron 327 “Corse”

* RAF fighter squadron 328 “Provence”

 

 

INSTALLATION : ON VERSION 7b; SIMPLY UNZIP INTO YOUR GAME’S MAIN FOLDER; ALLOW OVERWRITING OF EXISTING FILES. You do need to install version 7b prior to installing this patch. You will keep all the campaigns you already started.

 

COMPATIBILITY : 4.07m/4.08m/4.09m.

Again best wishes and fly safely,

Hi everybody,

 

 

I am sorry but I just realized there was a mistake in the file I uploaded on M4T and CombatAce: if you had followed the instructions, the skins may not have been installed properly. I have corrected this and re-uploaded version 8.

 

Please download again version 8 and install it according to the instructions in the Read-Me, to make sure everything is in order.

 

Also if you find a Skins folder in your game's main directory with the skins of version 8 inside, simply delete it.

 

 

Enjoy your flights in 2008!

 

Vincent

UPDATE: VERSION 10 - Unmodded - available at CombatAce

 

 

I just uploaded version 10. It is compatible with 4.09m final version, and actually requires it. It is the first DGen campaign series featuring new 4.09m planes.

 

It is available right here:

New friends:

The new version contains numerous improvements: skins, mission scripts, bug corrections.

 

Prior to installation, it just requires EnjoyR skin patches to be installed on a 4.09m game version.

 

Enjoy your flights!

 

Please note that a new fully modded version is also available, with a lot more planes and maps featured.

The new modded version of French Wings 1940 -1945 is now available right here at CombatAce:

 

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=7190

 

It uses 6 modded maps, 37 new slot planes, and former AIs made flyable, offering a much more complete and immersing experience.

 

Flying in fighters or bombers, from the Battle of France through North Africa, either with the Free French or with the Vichy air force, until the last days before Victory, on the Western or Eastern fronts: Like no Other Pilot!

 

In 1940, against overwhelming odds:

Of course you will also fly in the usual Bell P-39s, Curtiss P-40s, Republic P-47s and late war Spitfires as well as Yak-3s... among many possibilities, and against a wide variety of enemies.

All explanations and download links to required mods are provided in a special Read-Me file, whether you use mods packs or not. The links to a couple of the mods required - by Josse - have been updated on March 6th, 2010. :drinks::yikes::bye:

 

Enjoy your offline flying!
