    1lokos has just uploaded Bristol Beaufighter campaign in Channel map.!

    Fictional campaign with No. 219 Squadron Bristol Beaufighter based in Ramsgate, without much historic compromise, but with gameplay.

    Campaign by Piper Kiev (2020), translation from Russian (Google Translator) and adaptation* by Sokol1 = 1lokoS, tested in BLITZ 5.010.

    For install see the instructions in the text file included in the ZIP file.

    * "Adaptation" = simplifications or add in briefings.

    - Escort bombers
    - Interception, including at night
    - Ground attack in France (airfields

    Downloaded and installed perfectly per your included instructions.

    Had a chance to fly the first mission (target range). Launched perfectly in ver 5.011.

    Briefings easy to understand, thorough, and gave me a chuckle.

    Map is beautifully populated - really adds to the immersion and feeling of “being there”.

    Target range clearly identifiable - fun to shoot ‘em up.

    Surprised to encounter Me110 raiders on the way home, shot one down.

    Lots of action all around me as escorting Hurries engaged 110’s nearby.

    Landed safely at Ramsgate - rewarded with successful mission completed notification.

    Looking forward to continuing this Beaufighter campaign.

    This campaign should definitely be added to the campaign roster.

    Repack "V-2", removing an Bren Carrier that insist in invade runway just when planes are taking off and reposition an NDB antena that are causing AI crash on landing.

    Include the "Vetochka" script for track player, squadron and RAF kills and Luftwaffe losses.



    - Dead pilots can't fill kill claims.

    I play until mission 5 and don't notice other issues, besides CloD usual's. The next mission is at 20:00, let's see.

    Beaufighter is easy to fly, but a bit difficult for fight.

    And beware of rear gunners, they are more effective than AI pilots.

    OK, will download and install V2 and start over.

    I flew the 2nd mission (intercepting the incoming Dorniers) and did quite well. I sustained light damage and decided to head for home. Then some pesky 110’s showed up - those rear gunners are deadly. I was badly hit but managed to stay aloft, albeit with some control problems. Made it to within sight of Ramsgate when a 110 came out of nowhere and put me into the drink! LOL

    BTW - were those COWS I saw moving around just off the runway?

    If want you don't need start again, in

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

    open the file

    custom.campaign_Bristol_Beaufighter.state.ini

    and set the number of mission you already play, so can continue, e.g.

    Code:
    [Main]
      battleIndex 2

    It appears that some farmer next to the airstrip confused the flight schedule.
