    Quick (possibly annoying) question please

    What is the best single player campaign, either scripted or dynamic, that is compatible with the current version of the game please?

    Thanks for any help.

    Edit:

    Sorry I meant Scripted or Static, and I know there are threads here, but it is hard to figure out what is currently compatible as the posts are quite old for the ones I've looked at.

    I'll try just using the ones in the sticky that are listed towards the end, even though they say 'unproven for v4.0' or something like that, unless someone can direct otherwise.

    Thanks anyway.

    Unfourtunately I haven't been a massive campaign player either, but I was/am interested in finding some good ones to get into myself.
    There was one I had downloaded but lost it, it was Operation Dynamo, essentially the airborne support over the Dunkirk rescue opperations. I think it worked fine with the current version, give it a try if you see it.

    Hi Yo-Yo,
    The missions should be compatible with current game versions (or perhaps more correct to say new game versions should be compatible with old missions...).
    Worst case just uninstall it if it does not work.
    This being said, do not hesitate to get teamspeak and hop onto multiplayer. This is still the best and quickest way to progress.

    Hi Yo-Yo. I'm playig static campaigns by Piper-Kiev. I ran at least one mission from each campaign in BLITZ. In few missions AI does not take of from the begining, but they can be skipped. And may be a problem for you that they are with Russian language briefings.

    Any campaign made for CloD work in Blitz. Just need adjust install paths.
    Bolox made campaigns worth a try, e.g. Spitfire Dawn.

    Dunkirk from Piper Kiev is good, and don't involve too long flights.

    "Dynamic Mission" by The Oden - that is not a campaign, is interesting, but have long flights.

    Re: Quick (possibly annoying) question please

    Hi,

    I'm back. I never managed to find what I need, everytime I try to look I end up reading posts that are years old, I find a link, it doesn't work, or someone has posted years ago that it doesn't work unless I have something to which I can't see a link to get it.

    There's a sticky that says it lists everything, but it is just plain difficult to dig things out of there.

    Please, could some kind soul post a list of actual links that work, and outline or link to instructions of what may be necessary for each campaign/mission group to run. Maybe clear out that old sticky with a refreshed new one that has just the key info?

    I really want to try and get into the idea of scripted campagins and things in CloD and try and peak my interest again for DW but I don't have the time to seek these things out. ( fyi I do have Heinkills redone version of the stock campaign)

    Thanks if anyone can help on this.

    Fantastic, I seemingly have got the Oden campaign working in no time at all. If it proves to be good, I will be ecstatic.

    Re: Quick (possibly annoying) question please

    Unzip the files for a folder in desktop named:

    campaign_Battle of France (care for don't create another sob-folder inside, and use underline "_" between names)

    Then move this folder for STEAM ... \steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz\parts\bob\mission\campaign\campaign_Battle_of_France

    Pay attention because there are folders mission and missions (CloD "It's CloD!")

    or if you use another drive or folder eg. \SteamLibrary adjust the path accord.

    Now in the above folder ...\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz\parts\bob\mission\campaign\

    open (with Notepad, Notepad++, don't use Wordpad, Word) the file "campaigns.ini" and add this lines bellow the existent lines, e.g. campaign_de, campaign_gb...

    Code:
    [Main]
    campaign_Battle_of_France
    And bellow, after the last campaign tittle:

    Code:
    [campaign_Battle_of_France]
    folder campaign_Battle_of_France
    title Battle of France
    image Poster.bmp
    In Documentos\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\mission\campaign\

    Create a new folder, rename "Battle of France"

    Inside this folder create a new text file, rename for "state.ini" add this lines:

    Code:
    [Main]
      battleIndex 0
    Test there now and work:

    CloD-Campaigns.jpg

    This campaign don't include custom skins, but when the campaign include, just put in
    Documentos\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\PaintSchemes\Skins\ folder "name of the plane, model/mark".

    BTW - Some old campaigns use CloD early name (in SteamApps):

    IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover
    others
    IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover - MOD

    For any just use:

    IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz (assuming that you are using the latest version).

    In Documents folder just use:
    \1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\

    One more thing: this campaign start with planes on runway, engine on, so care with your joystick throttle position and caution with some crazy auxiliary vehicles running between planes
    -collateral effect of Luthier attempts to make CloD run in Win XP, downgrading the graphics, and broken the "spline lines". When this campaign was made vehicles behave normally. Now rest edit the missions files removing the vehicles and their script.

    Every Clod should be packaged with its own virtual 1lokos!
