IL2: Forgotten Battles / Pacific Fighters by Ubisoft

Bell P-63-C This set contains 4 paint jobs, Brown, Desert, Navy and Olive all wit US insigs.
As far as I know the United States Navy never used the Bell P-63-C but this navy repaint is for those of you that want a Navy P-63.
52Zebra out.

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning
All these re-paints will fit over the J model the L and L-1944 Late.
 
There is also a cleaned up void file for all the P-38’s , I took out a lot of the lines that I deemed unnecessary but if you think you need them you can always put them back. The folder also contains a Besert paint Me-323.
 
Drop the ME-323 bmp into the skins/ ME-323 folder.

Can you match the exploits of America's Ace of Aces? I have portray as accurately as possible the circumstances faced by Dick Bong in his 2 year onslaught of the Japanese armed forces in the Pacific. All of Bong's successful missions have been recreated.
 
America's Ace of Aces
Richard Ira Bong
 
Just over the Wisconsin border from Illinois is the most stolen sign in America. It reads "Bong Recreation Area". 99% of the people you ask will have no idea who or what the area is named after. It's a shame that the greatest fighter pilot America has ever produced is all but forgotten and his name has become a joke.
 
This is just my attempt to educate a small number of you as to the life and times of Richard Ira Bong, America's Ace of Aces. His record 40 kills will never be surpassed. This unlikely farm boy from tiny Poplar Wisconsin became a super star and then faded into the history books. He deserves more than 15 min of fame.
 
I have recreated all of Bong's successful missions. If you equal or surpass Bong's record with all the realism options turned on without do overs and without using the auto pilot you have accomplished a major feat and should be proud of your simulated flying skill.
 
I have tried to portray as accurately as possible the circumstances faced by Dick Bong in his 2 year onslaught of the Japanese armed forces. I have had to use different maps because many of the areas that Bong fought in are not represented in the game yet. Areas such as Northern New Guinea, Rabal, Borneo, the Philippine Islands of Negros, Mindoro and Leyte have not been modeled yet. I have found very similar areas on other maps that fit the bill however. By using the southern part of New Guinea I was able to recreate the Lae area farther to the north; by using the Singapore map I could recreate similar conditions to the Philippine islands etc. I think you will get the feel of the historical area and conditions.
 
The folder BongCampaign goes in the US folder that is in the Campaign folder that is in the mission folder.
The folder BongSingle goes in the US folder that is in the Single folder that is in the mission folder.
The P38J, P38L and P38L_Late folders go in the skins folder that is in the PaintSchemes folder.
 
This campaign is complex and requires a powerfull computer and video card. It was done with IL2FB+PF Combined Install version 4.04.
 
Mission Bong29 (Rivals Together) is very complex. You might want to try out your computer on this one first if you plan on doing the campaign. I was having fun trying to make a realistic invasion scene and it got out of hand. Feel free to tone it down if you know how. Much of what is going on is not relevant to your mission as a pilot. Just invasion craft, bunkers, BB and CAs shelling each other etc. It's a hoot. Look around using the Cnt F2 command as I have placed some fixed cameras.
 
 
 
Three books were instrumental in providing the historical facts for this endeavor...
 
Ace of Aces, The Dick Bong Story - Written by Carl Bong and Mike O'connor
Dear Mom So We Have A War by Carl Bong
Dick Bong Ace of Aces by Gen. George Kenney
 
I had unique access to these books being from Wisconsin. There are many quotes directly from Dick's letters home to his mother. They provide an extrodinary window as to the thoughts and concerns of a farm boy a long way from the farm but making the best of it.
 
Carl Bong is Dick Bong's brother and Gen. Kenney was Dick's commanding officer. I have copied major parts of the "descriptions" from these books. I am not a writer but I do know how to copy well. The first mission is from the Kokoda Campaign for Pacific Fighters by VBF_80 and the skins are all modifications of other people's painstaking work the most notable being "Marge" by Richard Mutt or RMutt. I couldn't have done this project without the jump start these artists provided.
 
I wish to apologize for the racial epithets used to describe the Japanese race. This was the language of the times and the quotes are verbatim. I'm sorry if they cause any discomfort. I do not mean to offend, just to be historically accurate with my quotes. Because of the 3 books mentioned I believe these missions to be very accurate, sans the proper maps of course. The conditions, land forms, forces encountered are as historically correct as can be created. Any additions or corrections would be appreciated.
 
There are a few fun missions. One where you take off at night and try and get Washing Machine Charlie as Bong tried to do a few times... Another where you get into a dogfight in a SBD against a float plane... One where you have a mock dog fight with a P47 as Bong did while on leave... and the last one where you try and complete the only mission that Dick Bong could not.
 
Feel free to add a video or awards etc. I have no idea as to how to go about doing that. Add all you want but please dont change the basic facts of the missions. The research is pretty good. If you do put the plane on autopilot, you will encounter all the bogies that Dick Bong shot down.
 
P.S. Oh yeah, by the way, did you know who Bong was before you read this?

This is a launcher for IL-2 and a campaign getter and many more. Took a while to make and it works well. Something that IL-2 1946 needs.

I promise that the video tracks will work now.
 
A huge thank you to WheelsUp_cavu. I had screwed up the videos so royaly that they didn't play and he took the time to set things straight. Thank you Wheels!
 
It's time to fly the Lighting again.
 
This is version 3.0 of America's Ace of Aces enhanced with video tracks. Hopefully the videos add to the historical feel and accuracy of this campaign following in the footsteps of America's greatest pilot and greatest plane.

Storyline for 1946 WWIII
 
Introduction
 
January 23, 1946
 
Stalin's former allies have demobilized entire armies and have sent many of their armed forces home. The US and England have a fraction of their former forces stationed on the European mainland and have shown no backbone in resisting Soviet incursions. The only thing holding Stalin back from his vision of a communist Europe dominated by the USSR is the fear of the American nuclear bomb.
 
He has seen the devastation it has brought to the Empire of Japan. Although he has no doubt that his armed forces can storm through the blasted hulk of the former Germany and France he is held in check by the fear of nuclear destruction from the skies.
 
Stalin's former Allies have made a fateful blunder and the world shudders at the prospect of another World War. There have been a series of confrontations over Manchuria, Turkey and the Soviets "liberation of Eastern Europe. In a huge miscalculation the US decides to base a squadron of B29 Super Fortresses in West Germany in an attempt to intimidate Stalin. The B29 is an offensive weapon not a defensive weapon. It is a first strike weapon. This only fuels Stalin's paranoia about the West using their A Bomb in a sneak attack.
 
In addition his former allies are gathering far too many of the German scientists and their wonder weapons and stealing them away to work on even more destructive weapons and delivery systems.
 
Comrade Stalin needs to create a buffer so that the motherland is never subject to attack again. His vision is that all future wars will be fought in the no mans land that is the former Nazi homeland and he is convinced that there will be more wars despite the American atomic bomb. It's all a matter of where and when these wars will be fought because Capitalism and Communism cannot occupy the same space.
 
Some say the second atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki was a demonstration for Stalin's benefit and to reinforce the power of the atom bomb in his mind. In addition it was to demonstrate that America has not only one but many bombs and is ready to use them. The plan has worked until today.
 
Today Stalin receives word through his spy master and massive network of agents that American has a total of only 6 nuclear bombs. Previously he believed that they had many more and this fear is the only thing that kept his paranoia and ambitions in check. With this news the plan for the domination of Western Europe begins.
 
No longer will the West be allowed to dictate it's will on the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Stalin. He will once and for all remove the threat to Mother Russia. No longer will there be a gun pointed at his head from West Germany.
 
A massive and very well concealed mobilization begins.
 
As a Major in the USAAF you have flown over 100 combat missions in both Europe and the Mediterranean. Because of your special status your official victory score is top secret due to the nature of you assignments.
 
You have been assigned to a special unit that is working on former German Wonder Weapons that are in our possession. Your specific assignment is to assess the combat capabilities of the various weapons platforms. As such you will be helping to design and test in any future combat situations, America's newest weapons systems.

Hi to all.
 
This two skins is for A6M3 Zero 32 of 204th Kokutai, saw in combat in Rabaul during
the summer of 1943.

Can you beat Cobber Kain in the race to be Britain's first ace of WWII?
 
Nothing Phoney About This War, Mate is an historically based portrayal of RAF fighter operations from Spring 1938 until Spring 1940. Missions are set in Egypt, Palestine, England, and France. You will fly scrambles, intercepts, strikes, and patrols in Gladiators and Hurricanes, facing Bf-109s, Bf-110s, He-111s, and Ju-88s, among others. You might even encounter the elusive He-113. While all missions are based upon historical circumstances, certain episodes explore plausible alternatives.
 
You won’t fly the same missions every campaign, either. Random variants present the opportunity of facing variable opposition, even during actions where RAF pilots did not actually encounter enemy aircraft, such as routine patrols. There’s also a chance that you might not face any opposition, depending upon which variant mission the campaign engine selects at random -- this is the Phoney War, after all. Nearly every mission in the campaign has at least one or two alternatives. This offers a new prospect with each restart. Every campaign you play should be slightly different. You will fly 40 sorties, with a pool of some 130 alternate missions to draw upon.
 
This campaign is intended for IL2: 1946 with the UltraPack 2.01 mod installed. No additional mods need be enabled other than those active by default in UP201.

In 1944 the SBD-5s used in Marine Scout units in the Caribbean. This is my first skin, originally done in Gimp. 2.6.8. If you want to make any enhancements let me know and I could send you the original .xcf file

Skin historically, this aircraft was flown in May 1945 on the base of the Munich-Neubiberg.

Bell P-39Q Airacobra, 4^ Stormo Caccia, ICAF
 
Skin resolution: 1024x1024
 
Unmarked included
 
 
Generic skins for P-39Q in service with Regia Aeronautica/Italian Co-Belligerant Air Force
between June 1944 and May 1945.
 
-----------Notes--------------------------------------
 
In June 1944 the Regia Aeronautica/ICAF received 149/170 P-39s from the storages of 15th Air Force.
The majority of them where P-39Q (mainly from blocks -15 and -20), with few P-39N (used for training),
and a single P-39M (the s/n 42-4741, P-39M-1-BE).
 
During three months of training, 11 accidents occurred and three pilots died.
One of them was Sergente Maggiore Teresio Martinoli, top-scoring ace of R.A. with 22 victories (he died on 25 August 1944).
 
The 4th Stormo Caccia was entirely re-equipped with the Airacobras and, from September '44 until April '45, was involved
in a very intensive tour of duty over North-Western Greece, Albania and Yugoslavia.
 
Under the colors of the newborn Aeronautica Militare, the Airacobra flew for the last time during 1951.
