Hi together,

until now I have built more than 700 COOP and SP missions for IL2-1946, so I thought I also could create a SP campaign for CoD.

So here is my first try and, like in 1946, I have selected my favourite game CFS1 (Combat Flight Simulator). Unfortunately, the campaign is not complete, because the second part BFE (Battle for Europe) can not be realized because of the missing U.S. aircrafts. So this only remains on Canon's Britain MAP in 1946.

The campaign includes all BoB missions of the German Air Force and the RAF with the original CFS1 briefings around which I have designed the missions if possible at the original locations.

Because I have created everything under TF-Mod 4.3 this is recommended. I hope that I have eliminated all script errors. While playing here on my machine I had no crashes (only mine, because I am the worstest pilot IL2 ever has seen).

The campaign can be downloaded from https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=6DA09AFFB49A6132!5810.

It is available in 2 languages (EN and GE). The only thing missing is the mission outro of the English version, because I have to translate this section first. English briefings themselves are not translated, because these are also the originals from the English CFS1 version.

After unzip copy the two directories into the CoD root directory and the new menu entry "CFS1 Campaign" should appear in single player start screen.

I hope the 36 missions make some fun.

Greetings

Thank you very much, but I don't know whether it is really perfect because I am absolutely new in the Scripting part. I hate all C-languages like cancer, because I am from the VB-faction.

So please don't await too much from this Campaign.

So all I need to do is adds those two folders ( parts and addins) to my main Cliffs of Dover install?
No need to create a folder in the Documents-Mods- Mission-Campaign?

Just want to clarify , as I get easily confused on adding SP campaigns and tend to mess things up...

Well as usual I have probably screwed something up...

Ok I copied those two folders over into my main Cliffs install as instructed.

I launch Cliffs of Dover, and under " Single", I see the new campaign listed , however clicking on the new campaign does nothing.

How in the world have I messed up on something as easy as copying two folders over?

Sorry for that, I can't resolve the problem. I've checked all the relevant campaign initialization files here but they seem to be ok. It also runs here normally. Maybe others can help to fix your problem.

Burnnete:

Extract the compressed file in some temp folder.

Copy the "wurzelbrunft" folder to inside the folder

:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\ *

And the file "WurzelCamp.xml" for inside the folder (1)

:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\AddIns

(1) Look if you have not copied AddIns folder for inside folder AddIns (copy only the inside file).

* This install follow the same structure of Desastersoft Campaigns.

If you MOD'ded game are in place outside STEAM folder adjust the path according (mine is in D:\Cliffs of Dover).

I did some customization in my install:

Rename - in AddIns\WUrzelCamp.xml - the Campaign name for:

9173

And replace the Campaign Poster - I dont like "see" Mustang in CloD (hope they stay in DCS WWII :D) - and rename the RAF campaign name (see bellow why).

9174

@ Wurzelbrunft

In the file "campaign.briefing" in Cfs1-raf folder the name of campaign is:

CFS1 Goes IL2 - Luftwaffe

So in CFS1 Campaign menu in game you have:

CFS1 Goes IL2 - Luftwaffe
CFS1 Goes IL2 - Luftwaffe

Although the second start the RAF campaign. :thumbsup:

EDIT - Removed "- MOD\" references on paths.

Thanks but I think I am more confused than ever now, are you saying I should not have copied the files into:
[Steam]\SteamApps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover.
as instructed?

I only have one copy of Cliffs of Dover installed, which is TF 4.31.
Now I am to copy files over into the MOD folder as well?

I appreciate the detailed instructions but am afraid that might be a little above my expertise. I think I maybe should give this one a pass.

Maybe I am just getting too old for this stuff... :(

As Wurzelbrunft stated in first post, this campaign should be played with FT 4.312 patch (but should work fine in "vanilla" too), so my instructions is for install on MOD'ded version.
But you are right the -MOD\ reference on paths is not necessary (this only affect files inside \Documents\1c Soft...), 'll edit it. :thumbsup:

Maybe this picture explain better than my words (replace D:\Cliffs of Dover with you path):

BTW - if someone want add the Campaign description on campaign.briefing (both for Luftwaffe and RAF), here - Translated by Google, "revised" be my - not fluent in English. :D

<Description>
Technology :
In the 1930s, the British Air Ministry had given order for new two monoplane fighters, the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire, both of which reach Squadrons operational status in 1938. These machines differed fundamentally from the relatively slow and fragile biplanes that RAF pilots had flown in the First World War.

The RAF fighter tactics was derived from theories that were based on the concept of interception of individual bombers without protection. This was because Britain was out off reach of German fighter planes that took off from bases in Germany. Dogfights between fighters were therefore regarded as secondary, if not unlikely. In Britain, the pilots of Fighter Command flew their monoplanes in narrow V-formations and led carefully coordinated air attacks against individual or flying in low numbers enemy bombers. The operational experience collected during the Spanish Civil had already taught the Germans that this tactic was obsolete.

Luftwaffe:
Hitler had secretly built up its air force with bombers and fighters of modern monoplane designs. Taking into account the Blitzkrieg strategy, the requirements in the design of the German fighters had been considered the fight against fighters and bombers. The Messerschmitt 109 as the Hurricane and Spitfire is a fast, single-engined fighter was, for example, armed not only with two 7.92-mm machine guns, but also with two 20-mm cannons, although they had a much lower rate of fire, the impact was devastating. The engine of the 109 was equipped with fuel injection, which they were insensitive swoop against gravity. The British fighters dont had cannons, but were instead armed with eight machine guns of .303 caliber. Also fuel injection was not an issue in England; the Rolls Royce Merlin engines used for British fighters relied on the simple carburetor system with float, which later should give to German fighters superior diving properties.

During the Spanish Civil War, the Germans had developed the Schwarm, in which four fighters flew like the fingers of one outstretched hand in a very loose, staggered formation up side by side , sometimes at distances of up to 200 meters. In this way the German pilots could track the enemy without danger of collision. If the air battle has begun, the Schwarm split into two Route of pairs of planes, leader and wingman . Even today this is the basic formation for fighter planes. In Spain, Germany use for the first time the dreaded dive bombers, the Stuka, and medium bombers to support fast moving armored and infantry troops .

Benelux:
On 10 May 1940, German troops attack on Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and France. In this surprise attack the German Panzer troops pushed through the Ardennes until then held for impenetrable and flanked the French Maginot Line. After the Allied resistance had been smashed in a short time, their remaining troops were eventually evacuated from the beaches at Dunkirk, with the Royal Navy and a flotilla of small boats rescued about 330,000 soldiers. However, they had to leave behind their entire artillery and tanks as well as large quantities of other equipment. Even the RAF "Advanced Air Striking Force" units suffered heavy losses. The British Fighter Command reasonably had retained the valuable Spitfires for home defense - while the more numerous Hurricane Squadrons were cast into the hapless French campaign.

France:
Given the fact that the First World War had been raging for five years, the fall of France was in just six weeks a huge shock to the world. The possibility of an invasion of England resulted as pleasant surprise for Hitler. Buti in the same way that prepared operations across the English Channel cause difficulties for British, cause for the Germans. Barges to transport an invasion force across the Channel had to be gathered and concentrated in Calais area. Although the German Air Force had been designed to support rapidly maneuvering forces, they now saw himself forced to operate in a strategic role. Germany had medium - heavy bombers, which did not have the range and bomb capacity of the later four-engined bombers of the Allies. Although the ME 109 is an excellent afforded weapon, it was not intended to be offensive chase plane, but for a defensive role, which she had a too limited range and offered only a 20 minute flight autonomy over London. Nevertheless, the Germans by their greater experience had clear advantages and enjoyed a numerical superiority .

Invasion plans:
As a vanguard of a planned invasion force, 13 of the 39 divisions German divisions with a strength of 19,000 man each were moved to the Channel coast. A set of plans, the "Operation Sea Lion", providing for the landing of 125,000 man on the first three days of the invasion. The German forces command agreed that the invasion would only viable if the Luftwaffe defeated the RAF and had secured the total air superiority before the departure of the invasion fleet.

Radar:
Britain had a significant advantage : The radar system, or more precisely "Radio Direction Finding " (RDF ). This new radar detection system gave additional alarm warning minutes, which allow fighters takeoff with time to reach height and position for the interceptation operations. In the summer of 1940 the radar chain around the British Isles include 22 "Chain Home" stations and 30 "Chain Home Low" stations. They were designed so that at least in theory, each approaching plane from the east or south was identified by at least two stations . The radar thus became the core of the British air defense, a network of RDF stations, posts of the Observer Corps and sector control stations centers, radio stations, transmission lines and ancillary services. Germany was to prove the significance of the system, and it should be an important factor in the Battle of Britain.

For the air defense of Great Britain, the Fighter Command divided the British Isles in four "Group" zones, each with its own subordinate commanders and headquarters, but with the HQ of Fighter Command in Bentley Prior. London and the South East were defended by the no. 11 Group, the no. 12 Group protecting the Midlands and the north, while in Northern Ireland the no. 13 Group was responsible. No. 10 Group, responsible for the West and South Wales, was created on July 8, 1940, ready for use just in time for the Battle of Britain. Although each squadron commander was responsible for its own area, he was also obliged to help calls of the no. 11 Group, since it was clear that they would bear the brunt of the fighting. Each group was further divided into sectors, each with its own station sector, the "de facto" formed a local headquarters with airfield and sector control center.

Function:
The "RDF system" worked like this:

1. The RDF station would perceive increasing enemy activity due rallying offensive formations on the France coast.

2. This information was passed on by phone land line to the underground filter space of Fighter Command. There the information were analyzed by filter staff officers, displayed on a map with grid squares and distributed through an internal intercom at the next command control center and the control centers of the respective groups.

3. When the approaching enemy aircraft had crossed the coast, the Observer Corps was responsible for the further pursuit of their flight path. The items was reported to the observers centers, which were connected by land line with the Command Control Center. From there, the local civil authorities were directed to when they had to press the air raid sirens. The tactical control, however, was delegated to groups and sectors, which in turn had immediate command of stations, squadrons and the gun control center, the omnibus anti-aircraft guns in the system.

4. In each Group control center always did at least one air traffic controller service that focused on a huge, divided into grid squares map of the Group area and its surroundings. Approaching or over-flying the area aircraft were represented by colored plaques that female soldiers of the Woman Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) were moved with magnetized rods. The air traffic controller also had a called "totalizer" in the eye, which showed at a glance the location and degree of readiness of each Squadron .

5. The Group air traffic controller was how decided to respond to any danger, and gave the sector headquarters and the gun control center the appropriate commands .

6. The Sector Head pawned his squadrons in readiness and provided them with information and instructions for so long, until the leader of the Squadron had visual contact with the enemy. Until then, the know-how of the sector conductor theoretically should have ensured that the Squadrons were in their best attack position. If the Squadron leaders cried "Tally Ho!" the conductor knew that the battle was imminent and his work was done.

Although the brunt of the attack would obviously come to Southern England, all the armed forces of the RAF were not concentrated in this area. The Squadrons were rather spread across the country, which not only meant that the whole country was protected, but that at any time were fresh Squadrons to use. At the same time was possible withdraw weakened Squadrons to the north and re-equip.

Balance of power :
In July 1940, the forces of both sides were as follows :

The Battle phases :
In terms of volume, the Luftwaffe had thus a threefold superiority over the RAF Fighter Command. Given its sensational successes, the Germans were naturally confident. However against them were the factors that their teams were tired and their aircraft in need of repair after being used continuously since May 10. These men and machines not only had to overcome the Fighter Command, but also the English Channel - each attack on demanded on two flights over sea. Downed crews above England or maybe even over the Channel had expected captivity. A downed RAF pilot could, however, expect perhaps to be already on the same day back in the air.

Officially, the Battle of Britain started on 10 July 1940. In its course it fell into identifiable phases, which were dictated by the attacker .

Phase I:
The first phase consisted of enemy attacks on convoys headed for the Channel. The Fighter Command therefore, was forced to fly hundreds of missions daily to protect the vital commercial shipping . This phase of the Battle of Britain last until 12 August. Until then, only 30.000 of nearly five million tons of ship had sunken victim of enemy air. Stuka dive bombers also attacked various "Chain Home" radar stations , including those in Pevensey, Rye , Dover and Ventnor. Since they were small and therefore difficult to hit, none of these stations was unfit for duty for more than 24 hours, and the Fighter Command never had to do without the benefits of the radar system. In this phase, the Luftwaffe lost 261 aircraft and Fighter Command 261

PHASE II:
On August 2, the Air Fleets 2 , 3 and 5 were ordered to destroy the Fighter Command . This new phase began on 13 August and focused on the southern England Fighter Command airfields. In this phase, the Germans flew from their northern bases attacks on targets in northern England, in the mistaken belief that the RAF fighters were concentrated in southern England. To her horror, she received thanks to clever laying of the Squadrons of strong Spitfire and Hurricane Groups. The Germans suffered heavy losses .

PHASE III:
Nevertheless, the airfields of Fighter Command in the No. 11 Group was heavily bombed , and the situation was critical. Reichsmarschall Göring turned his attention now to London, and on September 7, thus began the next phase. Although this was bad for the people of London, this unexpected respite allowed the Fighter Command to make the battered airfields fully operational again. During the "Battle of the airfields" the Luftwaffe had lost 629 machines, the Fighter Command 385.

London:
The Germans had convinced himself that London was the only objective that British would probably use large numbers of fighters to defense. On this basis, the German attacks now concentrated almost exclusively on the British capital .

The first in this series of air attacks on London came on Saturday afternoon, September 7. Hundreds of bombs struck in docks area east of Tower Bridge. Later, when the flames of the erupted fires lit up the night sky of London, the attacker came in a wave back to the other. The attack ended the next morning at 4:30 clock. Until then, 1,800 Londoners were killed.

04/15/1940 :
On Sunday, September 15, the Luftwaffe made her, as it turned out, final attempt to bring a decision in daylight over London. In the dawn of this great day the southern England was largely shrouded in fog, but as the sun rose higher, the mist dissipated quickly. The beautiful weather was the signal for the foreseeable attack. Before 11:00 o'clock in the morning German reconnaissance aircraft had explored the Straits of Dover and the east coast of Kent. Since the first light Spitfires and Hurricanes patrolling over the whole coast between Harwich and Land's End. Each sector station held a Squadron on standby. At 10 clock 50 British radar stations reported that an enemy reunion southeast of Boulogne. Five minutes later, all squadrons of No. 11 Group are on high alert .

At 11:33 the enemy groups had crossed the coastline between Dover and Folkestone. Three minutes later, two more enemy formations cross between Dover and South Foreland. Objectives of the attack were the London gas plants and other industrial facilities. To counter this impact, Fighter Squadron has been reinforced by five Squadrons of the so-called "Duxford Big Wing" of the no. 12 Group under the leadership of Major Douglas Bader. The attack of the Fighter Command was so huge that the enemy aircraft apparently dropped their bombs aimlessly across southern England. Two bombs fell on the Buckingham Palace. But as soon as this first mass attack had dissolved, the radar stations reported already more offensive formations. From 14:10 to14:34 o'clock at least eight other German groups flew over the English coast bound for London. After had caused fires in Woolwich, Barking, Stepney, the gas works of Stratford, West Ham, Penge and in a fuel depot in West Ham, the Luftwaffe withdrew under defenders constant attacks.

Next, 27 He111 attacked Portland and were intercepted by Spitfires of six RAF Fighter Squadrons, combined with pinpointed antiaircraft fire, undid an attack on the Supermarine factory near Southampton. This failed attacks marked the end of the fighting on the day that has since been celebrated in the UK every year as the "Battle of Britain Day". Although the pilots of Fighter Command reported downed a total of 185 enemy aircraft, more recent research has revealed a precise number of 58. However, the Fighter Command lost only 28 aircraft, and such losses could not bear it any longer quite.

09/17/1940 :
On Tuesday, September 17, the British enlightenment began with a German signal from that the plane Sea Lion invasion was postponed indefinitely. Te Battle of Britain, however, did not end with the fires of September 15 in London, though this date is undoubtedly marked a high point . The attacks on London went on for a while during the day, but by smaller groups. Successful attacks have been conducted on different targets of the British aircraft industry , although the KG55 He111 were severely beaten in an attack on the Westland Aircraft factory at Yeovil in the county of Somerset. In response, the He111 was transferred to the groups that performed the night attacks on British cities , which had already begun and continued until May 1941.

Final word:
As the night air defense was still in its infancy, British cities have suffered long in the nights attacks. Nevertheless, it was clear that the RAF Fighter Command had won the 16-week daily battle. This was the tribute to the British Prime Minister at the RAF Fighter Command :
"The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."

Well I reckon I have tried this about 4 times now, carefully following the directions and Sokol1's tips, even tried keeping my legs and fingers crossed, with one eye closed whilst tapping my right foot on my left rudder pedal - no matter what I do, I can not get it to take.

I get the campaign name in the single player menu every time, but nothing ever happens when I click on it. Made sure all the files/directories were in the proper place, and nothing.

So I have now removed the files, thrown in the towel, will sleep on it and who knows maybe one day a light bulb will go off in my head and I will go, oh yea, now I know what I did wrong lol...
Obviously it works for others installing as instructed, scratching my head on why it does not for me.

The names in your picture are correctly.
Apparently are not wrong with your install... strange dont work.

Rest check if due your Windows restrictions (I use Win7, UAC off) the folder for register campaign progress in Documents\1c Soft...Dover\Mission not being created.

I think these folder are created by game, when you click on "Wurz... Campaingn", in any case, if they dont exist try create manually, is needed:

...:\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\mission\Wurzelbrunft\campaign\cfs1_lu

This campaigns is different, use system similar to one used by Desastersoft, with custom .dll.

The only thing different on my install is that Idon use CloD inside STEAM folder, is in D:\il-2 Cliffs of Dover.

I edit the 4th mission for RAF - a "visit" to Calais-Mark in the early morning hours - replacing Spitfire I by Blenheim IV, since Spitfires officially return to France after Dunquirk only in December of 1940.
"What if" by "what if" Blenheim IV is a better "strafe'r". :devilish:

Installed the CSF1 campaigns direct to my (x86)>Steam>SteamApps>common>IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover.

I have it working just fine on Win7 pro 64 bit. My install was as follows: from the CSF1.rar there is the AddIns folder (open the folder) copy contents "WurzelCamp.xml" into your IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover AddIns folder (I have 5 xml's in this folder). Next open the parts folder in there is a folder named "wurzelbrunft" copy the folder (not just the contents) into your IL-2 parts folder (I have in this folder a bob, core, desartersoft, hunninthesun, TEF campaign & wurzelbrunft folders).

I thought there may need to be another step involved, like going into a mod folder, but no works just fine:) Hope this may help.

Yes, thanks Taxman, that is exactly what I have done - several times now.
Glad it is working for you!

I am sure there is some obscure reason it is not working for me, and perhaps someday will find out what that reason is.

This is such a sweet idea. I loved those cfs 1 missions and the briefings. How nostalgic.

~S~ I learned about flight simming and computers using CFS1.

16 years of adventures online followed. Never saw that coming.

Thank you for this Campaign!

I am still baffled.
I just installed the updated Hun in the Sun Campaign series, it installed and works just fine.
Just gave this one another go, this time rather than copy the files over, I just extracted them all into my Cliffs of Dover directory.

Still same result, I get the campaign name in the menu, but clicking on it does nothing...

I assume no changes are supposed to be made manually to the campaign.ini file? There is nothing in the install directions regarding that...

Is something related with the two .dll, probable Windows UAC are blocking, try right click over then an look for options to change permissions.

Or test with UAC tuned off (Control Panel, type UAC on search bar).

I've installed the campaigns successfully, and have been playing the RAF campaign, but there seems to be a strange problem with the tracers for the Hurricane. The tracers only fire from the left wing, the guns on the right don't seem to be loaded with any tracer rounds, which does look a little odd. Is anybody else having this problem? Can it be fixed in the mission files?
Cheers, Scream.

The Hurricanes tracers is not Campaign related, is TF 4.30. Happen in all offline missions.

Try updade your ConfUser.ini (go online and set Hurricane ammo again).

EDIT - I forget that set ammo dont affect campaigns - are in different folders.

Looking at missions files the Hurricane loadout is different for right three outside MG1's:


Flight0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Flight1 11 12 13 14 15 16
Class Aircraft.HurricaneMkI

Thanks Sokol. :thumbsup:

I thought it might be something like that. The Hurricane loadout is fine in all the other Cliffs campaigns and missions, this just happens with the CFS1 campaign.
Looks like it's time to go into the wonderful world of loadouts. Thanks for all your help. S!

Cheers, Scream.

I am so very pleased to report, thanks to a post made in the Hun in the Sun updated campaign thread, I have now got this campaign to work properly for me!
Apparently Windows 8 decided to block the dll file, due to it being downloaded from an unknown source - I right clicked on the dll and clicked on properties, and there it was - set to blocked - I unblocked it, and now the I can select the campaign in the menu!

I've enjoyed this campaign (Luftwaffe) so far. Well designed missions and nice overall.

However, I've had a few issues with it. It's counting all Luftwaffe that return to base and land as losses post flight. Also, I've had several random "success" and "failure" messages halfway through missions. I just finished the Southampton docks Ju88 strike, all bombers returned after hitting the target and I got a mission failure :).

Hi, I had been far from CloD for many months and having back again, I have now find this nice campaign. I have downloaded and installed succesfully and have enjoyed the first mission as a RAF pilot. Thanks Wurzel for your work!

However I have found some points I would like to share:

a) In the file "Campaign.briefing" (on both folders, RAF and LW), there is a typo mistake in one name of variable:

[4]
<Name>
MissionFailude
<Description>
Failure!

I believe it should be

MissionFailure

I don't know what impact this typo can have on the results of the mission, I have corrected it before flying.


b) Same as others, my Hurri seems that either only left wing guns are shooting, or only tracers are coming out from left wing guns. I've checked my load out and it is fine, inside the game and outside reading the User.ini file. It is a weird thing!

c) There is a weird graphic thing on the Lee-on-Solent airbase where Hurris have to land after the mission: a sort of "thick rope" over the airstrip, coming from one hangar to the other side of the field:

19142

I went through the "rope" when landing and fortunately seems only to be a graphic glitch :) I think this is a bug inthis airbase, not from the Campaign indeed.


Thanks again to Wurzel, I will proceed with the Campaign till the end!

You can adjust Hurricane loadout in mission files - in BoB folder.

This graphical bug ('the rope") CloD has since release.

Thank you for your reply, 1lokos

Acording to the .mis file, belting for the Hurri MkI is:

Belt _Gun03 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 2 2 2 10 11 11 9
Belt _Gun06 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 2 2 2 9 9 11 11
Belt _Gun00 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 2 2 2 0 11 11 9
Belt _Gun01 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 2 2 2 0 11 11 9
Belt _Gun07 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 2 2 2 9 9 9 11
Belt _Gun02 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 2 2 2 10 11 11 9
Belt _Gun05 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 9 9 9 11 11 11 2
Belt _Gun04 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 9 9 9 11 11 11 2

However, my belting for this plane in my file User.ini is:

belt _Gun03 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 11
belt _Gun06 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 2
belt _Gun00 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 10
belt _Gun01 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 2
belt _Gun07 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 10
belt _Gun02 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 9
belt _Gun05 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 9
belt _Gun04 Gun.Browning303MkII MainBelt 11

And this is what appears in the game in the "LoadOut" screen. However, the mission file overrides this and uses its own belting, programmed by the mission builder. This should not be so. One has to edit manually each mission file.
