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, Vincent

I also uploaded a new version of my DGen briefings, as well as an updated version of my RAF ETO and PTO campaigns, in the same section.

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: With the Free French in Africa: new Abyssinia and Lybia campaigns: In 1941 and 1942, defending French colonies in Africa and Lebanon & Syria: Fighting again the Luftwaffe, together with the allies in 1943 -1945: 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. Enjoy your offline flying!

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: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=6862 New friends: New foes: A Free French Hurricane trying to destroy a Sparviero over Lybia: 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.

French Wings campaigns (version 10) have been updated and use many new maps and planes, including the Curtiss H-75A-2; they are designed based on a 4.09m final modded game version.

File Name: DGenBriefingsFixedv7.zip File Submitter: vtrelut File Submitted: 29 Jun 2008 File Updated: 06 Mar 2010 File Category: IL2 Series Campaigns & Missions DGen campaigns briefings - All languages except Russian. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 7 - January 24th, 2010 CORRECTIONS OF ERRORS IN DGen DYNAMIC CAMPAIGNS' BRIEFINGS Updated with latest campaigns by Boelcke (JG 26, Kuban), Juri_JS and Vtrelut; plus many small corrections. Takes into account "New patch for Asia for the Asians!" dated 01/02/09 by Ojcar, Norway winter and bomber campaigns by Juri_JS, Japan Home Defence campaigns version 1.2 par Juri_JS, Reichsverteidingung updated campaigns par Boelcke, and French Wings version 10 par vtrelut. 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 the Russian language, 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 Ljekio ULMAR who provided me with a translation of his Africa campaigns briefings made by Gagarin, which I adapted slightly. Thanks also to Papy46 who provided me with his French translations and corrections. 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. These files are compatible with all game versions, modded or unmodded, and with all mod packs. There are also compatible with all types of game installs, with or without add-ons (payware or freeware add-ons). Happy Flying! Vtrelut Click here to download this file

DGen briefings have now been updated to version 7.

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 strictly, 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
