Well done.

Firstly, thank you Cybermat for creating both Kanalkampf and Another Bloody Day. I am seeking some guidance with the installation and operation of both, because I can only bring up and fly the first operation in each. I have followed the installation instructions to the letter. Could you tell me how to select subsequent missions?

Thank you,

Peter Lynn

Isn't the 'Custom' button at the bottom of the Single Mission selection working for you?

[Peter Lynn]

Hi Cybermat,
Thanks for your reply. It will only load the 1st Stuka Mission. I have tried selecting other aircraft from the Custom button and it selects ok and provides the briefings for the various other types but after clicking on Fly just the Stuka menu comes up and the Stuka Op opens. Hope you can assist,

Thank you

Are you clicking the little pilot figure at the top of each of the aircraft selections?

If you don't click that little guy, then you won't switch to that mission. It's really not spelled out that well by the game, which made it a source of confusion to me at first.

BTW, I'm working on an improved version of the mission, so I'll be sure to include the solution to this problem to prevent it from happening in the future :)

Eureka! Thank you! Owned this simulator since 2012 and did not know that! Many thanks.

Thanks Cybermat. Really enjoying your work!

Yes, I said the last update was the last. Yes, I just made another one. Now the British briefings use Imperial measurements rather than metric, and new skins have been included.

[Cybermat47]

A tiny fix just got uploaded.

Why yes, this is ridiculous!

[xvii-Hardegen]

Again a very well done job man! :salute:

[Cybermat47]

One final small fix has just been uploaded :salute:

[Cybermat47]

Mission updated, this time for good. Luftwaffe raids and convoys are larger now.

[AngryHumanoid]

Nice mission, thanks! :thumbsup:

[Cybermat47]

Updated with KuFlGr 106 base at Cherbourg, and to remove clutter for my fellow mission builders. See post #1 for d/l link.

[Dauntless]

I have no paint schemes folder in my down load! :(

Thanks for letting me know, I'll fix it up ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

[Cybermat47]

Fixed, hope you enjoy :salute:

[Cybermat47]

Updated with more detail at Hawkinge and fixed briefings.

[Cybermat47]

Updated with more accurate callsigns.

[Cybermat47]

Updated with more accurate Stuka altitudes - now they fly at 4000 metres.

I would love to play these but can't get them installed properly. Instructions seem simple.

The Steam update problems caused me to place my CloD game files and launcher in a new location on my hard drive called Cliffs of Dover -TF 4.312

Could this be causing my problem?

[Jean Lafitte]

I'm not sure where Icons, Skins and Paint Schemes belong. Somewhere in the Docs file? Thanks.

The missions seem to work with just the Briefing and Missions filed in the Docs file.

When you extract the folder, just drop everything in the docs folder and merge the folders :thumbsup:

Updated the AI's settings. They should aim better and fight for longer now.
