Hi all

Have created a version of the Luftwaffe and RAF REDUX campaigns by myself, Bolox and Gabuzomeu, to take advantage of TF Mod features:

BOTH RAF and Lufwaffe campaigns here: https://app.box.com/s/3lfrgy5n4qxir0q5vwgipe6tg44rowi6

or HERE: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=947812F8BB0B7EC2!232&authkey=!AE22b-sQBI497_k&ithint=file%2czip

or

Luftwaffe available here: https://app.box.com/s/2ogsw7xz8r21tm8b22gt

RAF available here: https://app.box.com/s/d9y7dbuen4xyumo2bn7s

As an example of what they offer, if you aren't familiar with the Sealion campaign, you can read up on it here:

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3773761/Announcing_Luftwaffe_REDUX_cam#Post3773761

This special Luftwaffe TF MOD brings you the JG53 Operation Sealion jabo campaign, with a TF mod twist:

- start your campaign as wingman to ace Hans Karl Mayer, and progress to leading your own wingmen

- optimised framerates in the TF MOD allow additional ground and air action

- even though it's a jabo campaign, multiple high altitude missions included to make the most of the new FMs

- Finish it as staffel kommandeur for a staffel of Bf109E4Ns bound for the Eastern Front...

More of these campaigns the merrier.

Although I have to warn you, a Seelowe/Sealion campaign may need some revisions after future releases and work by guys like V@s'OK.... :D

HMS Nelson or Rodney if I'm not mistaken? Bring it on! Slow, fat and apt to fall over if she actually fired a broadside, but the Luftwaffe had little in the way of torpedos in 1940. Still, would love to see what a brace of He115s with the LTF5 torpedo could do to her...

A suicide mission, but I'd love to try it!

We'll take that as a positive?

Questions from other forums:

- yes you can install over your existing REDUX campaign and continue playing your campaign from where you were up to.

- a TF Mod version of the popular RAF REDUX campaign is in the works. As was the case, most RAF aircraft in the campaign will be 100 Oct and the 109E4N will feature as an AI opponent. Historical altitudes will be used for raids, making the job of the RAF pilot scrambling from forward fields as tough as it was in 1940. You will often be at height disadvantage compared to escorts.

Good, that's the effect we were going for! 110s ahead and behind, jabos left and right, Stukas storming to destruction...

Trust you made it back in one piece though!

I've been flying and really enjoying the Luftwaffe Redux campaign! However, in the readme, it was stated that wingman or group commands could be made functional by flying to the first waypoint on autopilot, then switching autopilot off and opening radio comms. I have this set to "Tab", and I can indeed get the "wingman" option to turn red. After that, selecting "wingman", I can't open any further commands. Clicking the option for "wingman" brings up either a red label called either "wingman", or "*wingman" (with asterisk). Selecting either one goes no further, still can't generate any commands. Anything else I can do?

Hi, glad you are enjoying it. The workaround is unfortunately not a fix, the commands system still sux. The workaround seems to work for me about 50pc of the time to get the wingmen or staffel to attack the enemy or come to my aid. I wait until the enemy is in visual range, padlock them, then issue the attack my target command.

Remember it won't work at all in early missions though, because you don't have a wingman! That might be the problem? You yourself are the wingman, or katschmarek, so you don't have your own wingman to command. You can call for help though, I think, and if they are in range your comrades may help.

Later in the campaign as you progress, you are given command of first a schwarm, and then a staffel. Once this happens, you can issue commands.

Thanks for your reply. No, even when I have a wingman or schwarm, I still can't get commands to work. I haven't tried actually padlocking the target, though. That may be the problem. Main problem, of course, is the screwed up command system in the original program. Hopefully someone much smarter than I can tweak a fix. It would sure make a big difference.

just started playing this campaign too, i've got to say it is the dogs balls! it is so well written and exciting. just played to the 3rd mission, can't wait to carry on. Thanks to Heinkill for the re-doing of it. I've always held off getting the deastersoft mission available for cliffs of dover but if they are as good as this!!!!!. One issue is that my pc struggled with mission 2, lots of ships and planes, maybe i could turn down the setting a bit. cheers heinkill.:salute:

@ heinkill I installed both of your REDUX Campaign and I am enjoying it greatly.
However I have two questions
1) On mission three for the RAF Campaign, I just sit there on the runway waiting for
the order to take off, even after a flight of three He 111 show up and is reported. I sat
on the runway for 45 minutes and nothing is happening. No orders for take off.
How long do I have to sit on the runway?
2) I have the German Sealion install also. How can I switch from the RAF Campaign to the
German Sealion Campaign?

Thank You for your hard work and redoing the original BOB Campaign.

I just wait for the guy in front of me to take off, count to 5, and away I go. The AI planes seem to accelerate faster, so no problem with running up behind one.

Simplest way is described in Heinkill's readme- briefly engage autopilot before takeoff (when you hear rest of squad call in)
This should get you a takeoff clearance message. Disengage autopilot and proceed as normal.

Otherwise, in all cases where you ARE NOT Squad Leader, the just ignoring traffic control and taking off is possible, as long as you don't engage AP for rest of mission- if you do results can be unpredictable.

If you are Squad leader then the most consistent results are obtained by using autopilot to take off until ~1st waypoint. Otherwise rest of squad will ignore you for rest of mission.

This is all a known (and extremely irritating) bug in CoD, but for now at least, just get used to using these 'workarounds'

It would be really nice if somehow this could get fixed in one of the updates, and for landings as well. Does no good to request landing clearance, get denied every time. What TF is doing for this sim is beautiful and incredible, not sure if this would even fit in with their scheme of things, but would be nice for us single players...

Hi all

Have created a version of the Luftwaffe and RAF REDUX campaigns by myself, Bolox and Gabuzomeu, to take advantage of TF Mod features:

They are available here: http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php/downloads/viewdownload/6-online-campaigns/515-redux-campaigns-for-tf-mod



Hey heinkill,

Question for you - I have the RAF REDUX Campaign, and can not remember exactly when I installed it, has been a while.
Above you state a version has been created to take advantage of TF Mod features - is this possibly a different version than what I have installed, if so is there a way I can tell?

Thanks, love your work!

bolox
Oct-26-2013, 11:14
TF mod version is slightly different. Easy way to tell is the screen on display when you select campaign from list in game
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff27/bolox00/Poster_zpsa43dd6fd.png (http://s240.photobucket.com/user/bolox00/media/Poster_zpsa43dd6fd.png.html)

If its a TF version there will be the "for TF mod" text to the right of title (as in pic). If 'standard' version there will be no text.
Ut's a protocol I follow with my campaigns also, putting the version of game required here seems to be a good idea

dburne
Oct-26-2013, 13:56
Thanks bolox.
I checked and mine does not have " For TF" in the text.
So what would be best way for me to get that version, just install over what I have now?

Thanks,

bolox
Oct-26-2013, 14:05

Many thanks, I will give it a go - gives me an excuse to fly this campaign again yay!

dburne
Oct-26-2013, 14:58
Hmm, can't remember where exactly to point the installer to, it defaults just to " my documents"...
There is mention of an extensive read me file, but I do not see any readme in this download?

Edit: never mind, think I found out in the Lutwaffe REDUX campaign information on that website...

Edit2: Yes,it worked just fine, in fact I went ahead and installed both the RAF and Lutwaffe REDUX for TF Mod campaigns. I am going to go ahead and fly the RAF one all over again ( had completed the original couple weeks or so ago), heck I may even then fly the Lutwaffe one - although I have never flown for the blue side, and flying a german fighter against RAF fighters would seem pretty strange on my end...
Really looking forward to these, thanks for all involved!!!

U R welcome on behalf of all the team.

The YF mod version includes high altitude missions, 100 Octane fighters like the 109E4n and new ship variants like the corvette. The higher fps enabled more moving ground objects to be included.

Yes indeed, I am now on mission 5 or 6, and have already been in the nosebleed section at least couple of times - looking great! I love the campaign and really like the scripting showing the tally of squadron kills, my kills, etc... really nice touch!

I am loving this RAF REDUX campaign, having a blast! - but it is kicking my butt on mission 17!
First nighttime mission, got to find a bomber and knock it down.
Heck, I even have the map on, see them on the map, but it is so dark out there, I cannot even make out a silhouette. I try to find based on the info I am given as far as height and location as well, so far no luck - going to keep trying...

Hmm, since there is no gamma correction in the sim, maybe I should adjust gamma somewhere in the graphics drivers?

bolox
Nov-03-2013, 14:46
Yes it's tricky- I think it's doable with no gamma settings trickery but just getting back to base is an achievement.

Some suggestions:
try to pick up the EA at a slight angle, so they appear in the side/side front window, not the armoured windscreen- there's a known issue with this at night
Try to catch the EA against the glow of the sunset
Use the zoomed in view, it is slightly easier to see EA.

dburne
Nov-03-2013, 15:56
Thanks for the suggestions bolox, I certainly don't want to give up on it and select next mission just yet - I do like a challenge.
Interesting about looking through the armoured windscreen, I thought I was having difficulty with that one on this mission.

I will give these a try the next time I give it another go, thanks.

If you are using TF 3.1, yes, it is very very hard. We agonised over whether to set the mission earlier eg late afternoon rather than evening, but then it would not reflect the challenges of night fighting without radar, which was a reality for that period of the war. RAF pilots were sent up, in the dark, to find the enemy and then had to try to find their fields again in unlit landscapes with very few lights or landmarks to guide them. Of course they sometimes had searchlights and flak to guide them, which you don't, but in 1940 these were not so accurate anyway...

If you are in TF 4.0 it is a little easier because the night has become a little easier to navigate in TF 4.0.

I don't want to give it away to you completely but to improve this mission from the stock version, we added more bombers overflying your airfield - the map will only show you those that have been sighted by other units or which are in visual range. Hint: there is a seaplane buzzing aroud offshore.

Full credit to you for trying to win unaided - if it really gets to you, you can always open the mission up in the mission builder and see all its secrets ;)

You can also progress to the next mission without 'mission success' but clearly you are not that sort of player!

You mean it is easier in 4 than in 3.1? Yegads, I am running TF4 - glad I did not try it in 3.1 lol

Yeah I am not that sort of player, I really want to complete this mission first - if I try a few more times though and still cannot get it, I may do just that. Thanks again for all the info, much appreciated.

Hang in. It's a tough one, but does it help to say the missions get tougher towards the end?

And this campaign is really just a training campaign for the real one, the Sealion Luftwaffe campaign. Now that's a challenge! ;)

Wouldn't want to put you to a test of your loyalties...

You can fly the Sealion missions from RAF perspective as single missions...you don't get the REDUX campaign system, but you do get many more flyable sorties and aircraft types.

Well I made it through the campaign, and it was awesome. Although I will admit, I did not get a bomber in the above mission. Try as I might, I just could not make it happen. I did have one instance where I managed to see one, then I lost him just as quick and never found again.
But - I did manage to make it back to base and landed successfully, so while it was considered a failure I went ahead and clicked next.

Now, just gotta figure out what campaign to fly next.
Thanks again for all you guys excellent work!

Hey heinkill, I was wondering if you were going to be updating this campaign for TF4.3? I just started to get into it with 4.3, but the second mission had huge amounts of AAA, and I remembered that the old fix to make AAA effective was to add it everywhere. Now that it's more effective, do you think you'll be going back through and deleting some of the AAA? No pressure - I was just wondering whether I should wait a while for a 4.3 campaign version, or if I should just keep going with the one I started.

No pressure - I was just wondering whether I should wait a while for a 4.3 campaign version, or if I should just keep going with the one I started.

Hi

I haven't yet, but am monitoring what people think about the 'new' AAA.

I do fear the AAA in 4.3 is now so accurate, that it risks making the game unrealistic and too many aircraft are lost to AAA in single player missions. I don't expect TF to go back to redo this unless there is a lot of complaint, and so I may have to reduce the AAA numbers and types to non historic levels :(

If you are flying Axis missions now you must adhere to this guidance, which was actually good combat advice from the 1940s anyway -

- use the map with icons enabled to show where flak concentrations are (consider it a 'recon' map) and avoid overflying them (waypoints for raids generally do so)
- do not fly below 20,000 feet over the combat area unless/until necessary (in Sealion REDUX campaign that is hard, I know, because you are flying Jabo missions so it is your job to mix it with the AAA).
- never make more than one low pass over a target eg airfield
- never make a bombing pass at less than maximum speed eg in a 109E4B start your run from 10,000 feet, go in at least at 500 km/h, release at 2,000 feet and get out fast
- never fly solo over an area of high flak concentration eg Valetta/Grand Harbour or Hal Far or you will find all guns trained on your machine

I will relook at the REDUX campaigns in light of the new flak and check how bad the losses are now.

H

The Malta REDUX has been adjusted: flak numbers and types remain historic, but raids go in much higher to avoid the light AAA.

Ok thanks for the reply. I haven't had too much trouble with it yet, but I was worried that the AAA might get me quite a lot as I get further into the campaign. I completed the second mission, but I got scared by all of the flak smoke close to me and dropped my bombs poorly, missing the target. I then dived on one gun as a token effort and shot it up. As I ran away with my tail between my legs I got hit and got a fuel leak, but made it back ok. I haven't had time to do the third mission, but I'm still worried that I just got very lucky in the second mission and that I'll get hit more often now. I'll do what you recommended and see how I go. Thanks again :salute:

Ok so I thought I would go ahead and fly the RAF REDUX Campaign once more, since 4.3 was out and the lawn darting AI has been fixed - plus I just love that campaign - before starting on the Battle for Malta one.

Anyway I was flying a mission and got banged up pretty bad, was going to have to bail out over enemy territory, so decided I would just hit the ole escape button and click the restart button.

Well I wanted a break, so after clicking restart and it dropping me to the screen where I click the " fly" button, I clicked the back button to get back and exit the sim for a bit.
But yegads, after clicking back to exit, I got the battle failure message! So I could not fly that mission again, clicking on continue and it took me to the next mission I guess.

So any clue what I did wrong, should I have clicked the " fly" button and then exited the sim? I thought I could back out and would be able to go back in and resume my campaign with the mission I was wanting to refly.

Any tips would be helpful as I may run into similar situation again.

Thanks,

Ah yes, quantum effect. Before you look at the page, the download button is both THERE and NOT THERE. Only by looking at it do you stabilise its quantum state and the button's state is known, either THERE, or NOT THERE. Of course, if it is NOT THERE, fear not, because there is a universe in which it is THERE. You just need to find a way to bridge to that universe. Perhaps F5?

Hi All,

This looks like such a great mod but I can't figure out how on earth anyone keeps up with the AI.

I can't get past the second mission because I simply cannot fly to 25000 ft in anywhere near the time that the AI does. I'm not an excellent pilot, but I'm just not this bad, surely. If I turn autopilot on, it solves the problem by unrealistically flooring the engine with no overheating whatsoever, and flies with perfect almost unmoving trim, at a climb rate of 3000fpm. I just can't replicate this, but it is clear that anything less is not sufficient.

I'm really at my wit's end with this. I just wanted to play some fun single player. People in these forums have been somewhat helpful but the patience you need to even start playing this game is fucking saintly. The amount of broken links and dead-ends I've run into trying to figure anything out with this broken masterpiece is leaving me little choice but to shelf it. What a god damn shame.

I hope somebody can help me. I can't be the only one that has this problem.

Thanks in advanced.
