Dark Blue Camo on a F4U-C1 not authentic but very cool and colorful

My second mission and the very first Dutch mission ever to be uploaded (unless I missed something), a fictional mission that will allow you to practice the actual divebombing technique used bt the ML-KNIL's Brewsters against the Japanese invasion convoys off Balikpapan and Java in January and March 1942.
 
Developed on FB/PF 4.04m.

My very first mission, a single mission depicting the use of a Brewster Buffalo as a nightfighter over Singapore Island, based on historical use of two Buffalos as nightfighters. Skin included. Try to intercept and destroy the attacking Bettys. Happy Hunting!

Pacific Fighters Mission - 4 players take-off from the Lexington -
 
....On 11 January 1942, CV-2, the USS Lexington sailed from Pearl Harbor as the flagship of TF 11. Task Force 11 consists of the Lexington, two heavy cruisers, and six destroyers The Lexington has been assigned the dangerous task of penetrating enemy-held waters north of New Ireland. From there her planes are to make a strike at Japanese shipping in the harbor at Rabaul.
 
Unfortunately, while still 400 miles from Rabaul, the Lexington was discovered by a giant four-engine Kawanishi flying boat.
 
Nine twin-engine enemy bombers have been spotted comming in from the South and Commander Thach has just led six Wildcats into the air to intercept them.
 
After Commander Thatch led the Wildcats towards the incoming enemy bombers, Lt Butch O'Hare noticed he had fuel problems, and turning 180 degrees he returned to his ship, the Lexington.
 
Suddenly he noticed nine more enemy bombers attacking from the opposite direction and alone and desperate, he attacked and took on all nine. single handedly destroyed five of them, and forced the rest to turn away.
 
For this Lt Butch O'Hare earned a Medal of Honor. Can you do the same with four aircraft Let me know what you think?

LOTS OF INFO AND SOME PICS INSIDE.
 
Thanks to Josef for sending me the label.

This is the closest I could come to providing a Boomerang for Il-2 1946. In the 4.09 version that i use it is A.I. only. In 4.10 it should be flyable. Choose the Re-2000 as an Allied plain. This is ment to be flown with markings off.
 
The Boomerang was a homegrown fighter based in part on the US NA-33. It first flew in May 1942. It was a highly agile fighter, with a maximum speed of 305 mph.. Actual armament was 2 20mm cannon and 4 30 cal. machine guns and 500 lb bomb load. For the game of course you are limited to the Re-2000's load out.
 
Another approximation of the Boomerang is to choose the plain green Italian skin under the RAAF.
 
If you want to make any enhancements let me know and I can provide the Gimp xcf. file.

359th FS P-47D-22 piloted by Capt. Garner W. "Jim" Engel". Aircraft nickname "Maid Marion"

Aircraft Profile by Nick King

Vought Corsair MkIV which is finished in the markings of Sub Lieutenant Donald J. Sheppard
Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve
No. 1836 Squadron, HMS Victorious
Sakishima Islands, East China Seas
May, 1945
 
Sheppard holds the distinction of being the only FAA Corsair ace of WWII. This Corsair is finished in Fleet Air Arm colours.
"Some sources state that the Corsairs were painted in US equivalents of Olive Drab, Neutral Gray and Sky Gray. This could very well be, but a colour photo I have, does not look like these colours. Furthermore, Dana Bell has stated in his Export Colors publication that some US aircraft were still being delivered in the proper British colours right up until war's end." So, that is good enough for me.
 
 
Place the file in your IL-2/paintschemes/skins/Corsair MkIV folder and have a great flight..
Compatable with PF and PF+FB+AEP

Very small Zip file containing command files and sub folders to allow you to change out music files "once in the sim".
 
Simple commands redirecting IL2 music as to what folder to run the files from at any time.

Here is a plane i created off of the VF-85 USS Shangrila paint scheme! ENJOY!

This is the personnal plane of S Kholobystrov, here with 8 victories, 147th IAP, Murmansk 1941-42.
 
As I have no more precisions, it is in two versions : RAF camo and US Camo
Template: Leadspitter/ Obélix
 
Have fun

This is a Czechoslovak S-199 built after WW II roughly around 1948 before the Marxist takeover. It was a version of this plane that was used by the Israeli Air Force in the opening days of the Israeli War of Independence.
 
Install in your Bf-109G6-Late folder.

This is a revised version of the Czech Avia S-99 posted previously. NOTE, the picture shows the original with the error!

This is another early 1950s vintage Czechoslovak version of the IL-10, again designated B-33.

This is a 1951 paint scheme for the Czechoslovak version of the IL-10, designated as the B-33.

This is a Czech livery for the IL-2 Type 3. Their designation for the plane was B-31, the B-33 being the IL-10. This gives you the realistically plausible opportunity to pit Sturmovik against Sturmovik in the late 1940s. Unzip and place the contents in your Il-2_3 file. Do not choose USSR as the country, even with marking turned off because it may cover the spinner in red.

"D-Day Targets of Opportunity"
Three historical missions of D-Day,
1) P-38 CAP of the beaches,
2) P-47's stopping 22nd SS Panzer and Panzer Lehr Divisions trains South of Caen
3) A-20 attacking the Rail marshalling yards at Le Havre
 
1944 June 6 D-DAY - on a foggy overcast day the Allies land at Normandy. Field Marshal Rommel was of the firm belief that the only way to defeat an invasion was to counterattack the beaches as early as possible with armour.
 
Two hours before the seaborne landings began, Field Marshal von Rundstedt ordered the two reserve panzer divisions available for counterattack in Normandy, the 12th SS Panzer and Panzer Lehr, to move immediately toward Caen. He did so on the basis of an intuitive judgment that the airborne landings were on such a large scale that they could not be a mere deception maneuver and would have to be reinforced from the sea. The only place such landings could come in lower Normandy were on the Calvados and Cotentin coasts. He wanted armor there to meet the attack.
 
von Rundstedt's reasoning was sound, his action decisive, his orders clear.
 
But the panzer divisions were not under his command. They were in OKW reserve. To save precious time, von Rundstedt first ordered them to move out, then requested OKW approval. OKW did not approve. At 0730 Jodi informed von Rundstedt that the two divisions could not be committed until Hitler gave the order, and Hitler was still sleeping. von Rundstedt had to countermand the move-out order. Hitler slept until noon
 
Hitler's mistrust of his generals and the generals' mistrust of Hitler greatly assisted the Allies. So were Hitler's sleeping habits, as well as his Wolkenkuckucksheim ideas.
 
The two panzer divisions spent the morning waiting. There was a heavy overcast; they could have moved out free from serious interference from Allied aircraft. It was 1600 when Hitler at last gave his approval. By then the clouds had broken up and Allied fighters and bombers ranged the skies over Normandy, smashing anything that moved.

a mini campaign of Pearl harbor... with the frst mission as a look at the fleet just before take-off... just to look at... you don't fly in this one
the second is the take-off phase... more scene seting eye-candy
the third attack phase has a choice of four different complexities depending how good your machine is, and how much stutter you are prepared to put up with....
(this is called the small version because it is missing some sound files I included with the full version... just briefing screen music... which bumbed it up to over 6 mb.

For players of offline dynamic campaigns with DGen.
 
If you have installed third-party dynamic campaigns DGen add-ons, either freeware (True Pacific, Disaster On the Frontiers, etc) or payware (Battle Over Europe, Ostfront, The Last Days), you certainly faced some minor bugs or compatibility issues. If you want to sort them out and enhance your flying experience with DGen, then this guide may be helpful to you!
 
This is a guide written based on my own experience; of course now the trouble should be minimized thanks to the publication of EnjoyR's patches.
 
This guide may also be of interest to players who wish to modify their DGen campaigns. Basically all DGen files can be manually edited, but it is somewhat of a challenge.
 
Let us share our experience together, to enhance the DGen dynamic campaigns!

This is an anthology of various "Battle Over Europe" and PF DGen updates put into one zip file. It is intended for BoE owners who are patched to pf_403m.
 
Contents:
1. Files from BOEupdate_AEP, PF-BOE and BoE4.0 updates by Starshoy;
2. BOE night Hurricane skin update;
3. NW Europe DGen campaign by Ian Boys for pf_v402m;
4. DGen.exe 4.0.4.5 by Starshoy;
5. DGen_4043_Upgrade by Ian Boys;
6. "Italian_Pack" w/speech files, medals, background and skins;
7. "Italian_pilots" pack by Elephant;
8. Ju-88 campaigns (beta) by Amagi.
9. Updated with Final_Fix_1 for DGen_4043_Upgrade by Ian Boys.
10. Updated Feb. 20, 2006 with the Italian pilots name fix by Ian Boys, Amagi's Belgorod Ju-88 campaign fix, Chameleon[red]'s Russian translations of Italian campaign briefings, and the latest DGen.exe by Starshoy.
 
[DGen_4043 current as of 2-27-2006]
 
3-3-06: Updated zip file with Amagi's most recent version of Belgorod campaign and with two files common to Nimit's TruePacific v0.06 to avoid installation order conflict. NGen.exe v3.1.1.4 included as a compressed file.
 
3-6-06: Added an Mc.202 "Tunisia" campaign submitted by Lil' Pup which uses the Online MT map.
 
3-7-06: Seven DGen files updated to make this compilation cross compatible with TruePacific and Amagi's "Disaster on the Frontiers" campaigns.

DGen campaigns briefings - All languages except Russian.
--------------------------------------------------------
 
Version 1.0 - June 30th, 2007
 
 
As you probably have realized if you play DGen dynamic campaigns, there are many mistakes in current DGen briefings files:
 
1) Missing campaign briefings and/or debriefings, which result in strange words displayed on the screen, such as "LeningradSummer44DeBr" or "Africa42tGbDb" for instance.
2) Mistakes in briefings, which can make it sometimes impossible to display them in the game, especially when DGen syntax is not properly respected.
3) Wrong or missing aircraft descriptions or city names
4) Spelling and grammar errors
 
There are countless errors in the files, which is unavoidable given the hundreds of possible campaigns and probably thousands of various combinations of missions and campaigns which are available.
 
 
So I checked each briefing file, in all languages except Russian, and compared the contents with each related campaignsXXY.dat file, for all DGen campaigns.
 
 
Basically all files have had to be corrected, except the Polish briefings and a couple of the RAF briefings over Murmansk. All others are corrected.
For spelling and grammar, I corrected only the French briefings. For all languages, I tried to correct as many DGen errors as possible, such as missing briefings or debriefings.
 
 
There are probably still many mistakes, but at least with these files now the user should be able to start a campaign without seeing something like "Lvov41SkBr", and finish campaigns without seeing something like "KurlandAug44DeDb".
 
 
Some of the briefings will appear in English even if you use another language in the game, some will be blank, but I added new ones for most campaigns which had no briefings.
 
 
Thanks a lot to Ijekio ULMAR who provided me with a translation of his Africa campaigns briefings made by Gagarin, which I adapted slightly.
 
 
Some mission briefings for the Luftwaffe over Africa may look strange, because they refer to Soviets as enemies: this is due to the fact that these files are common with Eastern Front campaigns.
 
 
 
 
TO INSTALL, simply unzip the DGen folder contained in the zip, into the game's main directory, for all versions of installations/add-ons/patches.
 
By default the game's main directory is C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, or C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles.
You can also use these files if you have Pacific Fighters only.
 
 
Allow Windows to overwrite older files.
 
 
I intend to update these files whenever necessary.
If you find mistakes, please let me know what campaign/mission briefing is wrong, and I will do my best to correct further: e-mail to me at vtrelut@yahoo.fr
 
 
Happy Flying!
