Good hunting over egypt and Lybia.
I expect your comments at manuel.prego@wanadoo.fr

Here it is!!! The much talked about (OK, somewhat talked about) Spanish campaign.
 
It consists of:
-the campaign missions, edited as well for single mission play
-12 missions adapted for multi-player co-ops
-all neccessary skins!!!
 
To install, simply do the following:
 
-unzip everything into a temporary folder (TEMP, for example), open the folder "Espagne" then cut and paste the folders named "Missions", "Samples" and "Paintschemes" into the Il-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles main folder.
 
And...voila! That's all there is to it!!
 
After taking off it will not be easy to survive all the different missions in this campaign.
To fly it, go to Campaign and, under France, select "Spain 1938".
 
Do not forget to activate the "play music" option, so you will have some ambiance sounds during the briefings.
 
In the skin of a Republican pilot you will take on your Nationalist adversaries (Fascist or Franquistes).
You will have the chance to try many different things: ground attack, reconnaissance, fly a captured enemy plane, escort bombers or secret agents, intercept bombers or enemy reconnaisance planes...
 
You will also encounter different types of planes...you will even find the enemy flying the same type of plane as yours on occasion so be sure about what you are firing at!!!
 
The multiplayer missions are playable from one side for those which take place on small maps, and from two sides for those on large maps.
 
Of course, the game does not provide a map of Spain (sniffff....) so I had to improvise a bit, but if you use your imagination for the names on the map it'll all be fine!!!
 
So, welcome to Spain, and fly well, compañero!!!
 
Oops..almost forgot...the first mission of the Campaign (All or Nothing) is an adaptation from a mission created by Mad_Cat.
 
Have fun!!!
 
===============================
Special dedication:
 
This work is affectionately dedicated to the memory of my grandfather, Paul (nicknamed Popol), who died 5 years ago, and who, in his youth and as a militant syndicalist and avowed Communist, volunteered to go and fight fascism in Spain in the ranks of the International Brigades. I miss you Papy...but
the struggle goes on!!!

Finally, a big thank you to Jude Simmonds, aka FlatSpinMan, a New Zealander who washed ashore in Japan, and who did what needed to be done to translate this campaign into English for our Anglo-Saxon friends!!!
He also created the bases from which you will take off. Yes, I know... I am quite lazy on this aspect of things... THANKS, man !!! You're the BEST !!!
 
Also special thanks to Jeanba with which I had so many mails about this campaign. Hope his PC is still OK... ;-)
 
Do not forget : switch off the "no instant success" option !!!

Fairey Firefly Early Mk. Skinpack
 
 

 
 
A lot of "Faked" parts had to be created for these skins - some are very subtle whereas some are slightly more obvious.
There are 20 skins in total in this pack (all historical). I could have went on to included non marked versions but felt it was too much, if anyone wants a no marked version it can be arranged (note that in game markings will not work properly on these skins as they would overlap the "faked" windows on the fuselage.
 
Stick this in both of your "Seafire" skin folders and you are ready to go.
 
Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself original template was made for the MKVIII Spitfire so I have now adapted this to fit the Seafire and added my own faked parts, panel lines and weathering to it.
 
Brief info on each aircraft is included.

The Firefly was designed as a fleet reconnaissance aircraft for the UK's Royal Navy, and was derived from the Fairey Fulmar.
 
First flown on 22 December 1941, the first versions were delivered in March 1943 to RNAS Yeovilton.
The main version of the aircraft used during WWII was the Mk.1, which was used in all theaters of operation. Throughout its operational career, it took on increasingly more demanding roles, from fighter to anti-submarine warfare. Main variants included the F1 (with a 1,990-hp Griffon XII engine); FR1 (with an ASH radar underneath the engine); NF2 {night-fighter); Mk.IV (with new outer wing nacelles carrying fuel and an ASH scanner); the FR4, with a two-stage supercharged engine and wing root radiators in place of the earlier "chin-mounted" ones; the AS5 (with new American sonobuoys); TT5 and TT6 (target tugs); and T7 (Anti-Submarine Warfare trainer).
 
After WWII, the Firefly remained in service in both the UK and Australia, flying anti-ship missions off various aircraft carriers in the Korean War and serving in the ground-attack role in Malaya. In 1956, the Firefly's frontline career ended with the introduction of the Fairey Gannet.

I decided to try and make a Fairey Firefly skin after a comment about my previous Seafire skin (Seafire FR.45 LA485) saying that it reminded somebody of it.
A lot of "Faked" parts had to be created for these skins - some are very subtle whereas some are slightly more obvious.
There are 8 skins in total in this pack; 4 for each aircraft. There is the standard skins, weathered skins and there is also versions of the previous 2 without invasion stripes. I could have went on to included non marked versions but felt it was too much, if anyone wants a no marked version it could be arranged (note that in game markings will not work properly on these skins as they would overlap the "faked" windows on the fuselage.

22 April 1943, Holy Thursday, just before Easter, was the blackest day of all for the Me 323s and their crews
 
14 Me 323s of II./KG.z.b.V each carrying about 10 tons of fuel destined for Army Group Tunis was intercepted by the South African Fighters at Cape Bon.
 
10 Ju 52s of Kampfgruppe z.b.V. 106 took off at 0640 hours bound for Tunis. The Junkers and a group of 14 Me 323s were supposed to fly to Tunis with the maximum available fighter escort.
 
Each Gigant was carrying 10 tons of fuel destined for Army Group Tunis.
 
The fighter escort of 39 Bf 109s assembled over Trapani. Another 65 fighters, including Macchi 202s, flew out from Tunis to meet the formation. West of Sicily the Kampfgruppe descended to a height of 20 to 50 meters above the sea. Halfway between Sicily and Tunisia the Me 323s separated from the Ju 52 formation and, contrary to orders, set course for Cape Bon. This splitting of the fighter escort meant that the Giganten had only 36 escorts instead of the planned 104.
 
At 0925 two large groups of South African fighters began attacking the Me 323s between Cape Bon and the island of Zembra. Conditions were hazy. The first group of enemy fighters engaged the Bf 109s of II./JG 27, which were flying at an altitude of about 2400 meters, and forced them away from the transports. This allowed the second formation, which was larger and made up mainly of P40 Kittyhawks of the South African Air Force, to attack the Giganten.
 
Once attacked, the Me 323s took evasive action and the wedge-shaped formation disintegrated. The huge, cumbersome transports had little chance of even reaching the African coast. Usually able to sustain a great deal of battle damage, on this day the Giganten were carrying volatile cargoes and most caught fire or exploded after a few hits. Though they put up stiff resistance, shooting down five to seven enemy fighters, the Me 323s were shot down one after another until the last Gigant crashed into the sea in flames.

Skin de los halcones de la fuerza aerea de Chile
solo instalar en la carpeta de skins en el directorio de IL-2 1946 en BF-109 G-6As (aunque sirve en los otros BF-109 pero joden algunas partes ya que los otros son distintos en tamaño) pero igual se ve lindo.
 
si quieren formar un escuadron virtual (de los halcones obvio) solo avisenme y comenzamos el proyecto ya que hay muchos grupos acrobaticos pero.....chilenos saquemos la cara !!!
 
PD: si este skin fuera subido a otro foro externo a combatace ponganlo bajo mi creacion

BF-109 G-AS "Falcons"
 
created by: Ramrod
 
 
Skin of the hawks in the Chilean Air Force
just install the skins folder in the directory of IL-2 1946 on BF-109 G-6AS (even though it is in the other BF-109 but they ruin some parts because others are different in size) but still looks cute.
 
if you want to form a virtual squadron (of falcons obviously) only contact and started the project as there are many acrobatic groups but ..... Let us face Chilean!
 
PS: if the skin was gone to another forum outside combatace lay it under my creation
example:
 
skin of BF-109 "Hawks"
created by: RAMROD
 
please because it was hard work and I sympathize that someone would steal my credits without having done anything
 
if you change either but just started on my project so their changes are welcome but the skin itself remains
example:
