    How to install add on missions and campaigns in CLoD

    Hi All, I'm needing some guidance and help to install add-on missions and campaigns in CLoD.
    I'm getting confused about the folder file structure and where to install files. Single mission/Parts/???
    Does anyone know of any definitive guide or can point me in the right direction?
    I have the team fusion mod version installed. Many thanks

    Pay attention in Mission and Missions in folder names:

    Single Missions > put the files in

    ...\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\missions\

    If want can create a folder there for the mission or mission pack making easy access then.

    Campaigns > put the files in

    .... \steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\bob\mission\campaign

    If you don't change the default place for install Steam or Steam Library the full path is

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\bob\mission\campaign\

    And inside

    ...\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\mission\

    the folder with campaign name that contain the file State.ini - register the last mission played.

    Quick Mission - basically missions that allow limited customization: select planes (what can lead to strange behavior) - but not Air Force if the mission don't allow select in both sides (so in some mission if player plane is Spit and you select Bf 109 will fly a RAF Bf 109), Time of Day and Clouds (none, little, some...)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\bob\mission\quick\ <<< In that folder you can't edit this missions in FMB

    or in

    ...\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\mission\Quick\ <<< In that folder you can edit this missions in FMB.

    Example of Quick Mission: https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...d&downloadid=4

    BTW - Some Campaigns (very few), e.g. Huninthesun use custom DLL that require place this file in different folder from the above, see the campaign readme.txt.

    Yes, a bit

    Re: How to install add on missions and campaigns in CLoD

    BTW - The above install instructions became obsolete after 5.0 - due new folder structure, the actual is:


    Single Player missions: extract the mission files for:

    ..:\User\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Single\ <<< Optional, create a new folder and rename with mission name, specially if mission has custom files, slides, help in keep folder "Simple" organized.


    Custom Skins eventually included in the mission (or campaign):


    ... :\user\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\PaintSchemes\Skins"name of the plane"


    Quick Missions:


    ..:\User\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\quick\


    Campaigns (3rd part made):


    ..:\User\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\campaign\custom"campaign name" <<< create a new folder and rename with campaign name. EDIT - Important, campaign name need have _ between names, in the same format used in "campaign.ini", e.g. campaign_Battle_of_France

    Any small difference, even a space in those names can hidden campaign in game menu.

    In the root of folder "custom":

    ..:\User\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\campaign\custom\

    campaigns.jpg.199a37c902bbc9a0cb8e43563752bc0f.jpg

    Campaign-Custom.jpg.e74b0023b36fd45fd0184ef51c3981cd.jpg


    Update de file "campaign.ini" file (if don't have any create one). Example with one campaign, e.g. "Dunkirk - Operation Dynamo":

    Code:
    [Main]
    campaign_Dunkirk
    
    [campaign_Dunkirk] 
    folder campaign_Dunkirk
    title Dunkirk: Operation "Dynamo"
    image Poster.bmp
    After add a second campaign, e.g. "Battle of France"

    Code:
    [Main]
    campaign_Dunkirk
    campaign_Battle_of_France
    
    [campaign_Dunkirk] 
    folder campaign_Dunkirk
    title Dunkirk: Operation "Dynamo"
    image Poster.bmp
    
    [campaign_Battle_of_France]
    folder campaign_Battle_of_France
    title Battle of France
    image Poster.bmp
    And so on for new campaigns added.

    In "tittle" don't use _ between names, for other lines _ is required.

    Attention: are two folders, mission and missions, don't mix then.

    Thank you.

    Just so I understand. I now place the actual campaign files in the folder I have created and it should all work okay?

    Yes, pay attention in underline (_) in campaign folders names (see in the picture) this is important.
