File Name: Swiss campaign, 2011 version File Submitter: GastonGaston File Submitted: 19 December 2011 File Category: IL2 Series Campaigns & Missions Hi there. This is a complete redo of my old Swiss campaign, which I made in 2003 or 2004. It is now using correct map and planes. A look to the readme file : Thierry Duruz aka Gaston Click here to download this file

Hi Blackbird !!! Thanks for this superb bird !!! Just a question : I would like to use its cockpits with other Tu-22, but it does not work well : I have the cockpit on the screen, but nothing around... I mean, I am in the cockpit, I see the instrument panel, etc..., but it is like if there was no plane around... any solution ??? I am using it in WoE. What I did : -copy your su15tm_cockpit.ini, -copy your cockpit folder to the other Tu-22. Apparently, I missed something...

Just the sound file missing : indicated as B36Engine... But this plane is a long awaited beauty !!!

File Name: Spanish campaign re-vamped File Submitter: GastonGaston File Submitted: 12 Apr 2008 File Category: Campaigns & Missions Hello !!! As you know it, it is now possible to mod our favourite sim. I also did my small personnal mod, which is available here : http://www.allaircraftarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4110 To install it, just follow the indications you will find in its own "readme" file. This mod gives me the idea to "remix" this good old SCW campaign, and here is the final result. Be careful !!! You will need the precedent version to make it work properly, because to maintain this file small, I did NOT enclose the skins !!! So, go and take it there, for example : http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1797 and once its file in unzipped, just throw away the Missions folder. To install this new version, nothing is easier : -unzip in a temporary folder, -copy-paste the new folders you have in the root of your FB, et voilà !!! Let's go !!! and most of all, do not forget to activate the musical function, because you will have some surprises when reading the briefings... I wish you a good flight !!! For credits and thankyous, see the readme of the precedent version of the campaign. Gaston, Perroy, april 2008 Click here to download this file

EXCELLENT !!! Probablement une des meilleures campagnes pour FB !!! Bravo, Obélix !!!

File Name: Espagne File Submitter: GastonGaston File Submitted: 25 Nov 2005 File Category: IL2- FB/PF Campaigns & Missions 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!!! =============================== Credits My special thanks to all the skinners of our community: -Tchaika -Kamikuza -UF_Josse -Hoarmurath -Billis851 -AngelOfMons -Jutocsa -Tuckie -UF_Zargos -Col. Douglas King and to the others whose names escape me at the moment... Without the marvellous talent and hardwork of all these skinners this campaign would never have seen the light of day!!! Thanks in particular to the Spanish Civil War site webcindario (hello Tuckie!!!), in Spain. It had the brilliant idea of reuniting in one place, the skins of all the aircraft that fought in the war in Spain, a la www.il2skins.com 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 !!! And... Viva España !!!
