I've posted new single player campaigns for 109 and 110 pilots along with harder versions of my 3 RAF campaigns over at airwarfare.com (http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php/downloads/viewdownload/4-offline-campaigns/814-109-110-and-harder-raf-campaigns).
The 109 and 110 campaigns are mostly built from the RAF campaign missions but reworked to fly for the Luftwaffe. There are 60 missions in the 109 campaign and 30 in the 110 campaign. If you've flown the RAF campaigns you will probably recognize some of the missions, and maybe come up against your RAF AI self.
"Campaign" is perhaps a generous description for the 109 and 110 campaigns because these are really just a bunch of single missions strung together. You move around from one unit to another and there is no promotion - you are always the last aircraft in the formation. Stick with your flight and they will lead you to combat and then you are free to either protect your rotte leader or go off in search of glory without worrying about stupid AI tagging along behind. I don't have many sources for the LW side of the battle so there are sure to be some historical howlers - hopefully these don't damage the immersion factor too much. I can suggest a couple of back stories to explain the hopping around from one unit to another:
1) You are the Luftwaffe's best pilot and Goering has personally authorised you to attach yourself to whichever unit you want to and pursue glory for yourself.
2) You are the Luftwaffe's worst pilot and nobody wants you on their roster and they do their best to transfer you to another unit as soon as they can.
For the RAF campaigns I have upped the skill level of the German bombers. I felt it was just too easy to shoot them down which was fun for a while. Now, you will have to much more careful in your attack. Your AI squadron mates will be just as stupid as before and are more likely to be damaged by return fire - leaving more of the fighter escort free to come after you. Both the full and lite versions of each of the 3 RAF campaigns are included.
The installation procedure will create a new menu item in the single player campaigns menu and will not interfere with the earlier versions of the RAF campaigns if you already have them.
