Through this series of 15 dynamic campaigns, I wish to pay a tribute to all the French pilots who flew US and/or British aircraft for the French Air Force, featuring French markings on their planes.

They took part in many battles from Tunisia to Italy then France and finally Germany, and contributed alongside their British and American friends to the allied victory of May 8th, 1945.

I propose you to rejoin them, in the virtual skies. You may fly recon P-38s together with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of the Little Prince.

You may also fly Curtiss P-40s with the Lafayette fighter squadron, and promote the heritage of the legendary "Flyboys" from WWI.

You may as well fly fighter-bombers and bombers over North Africa, the Ardennes and Germany. In addition to the P-38s and P-40s, flyable aircraft include Spitfires, P-47s, P-51s, A-20s, P-39s, B-25.

Above all, do not forget this is a game, and have fun! Normally each mission should be rather intense, with many different types of tough opponents from Italy or Germany.

The main package contains 5 dynamic campaigns with skins and is available on Mission4Today:

http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=2898

Furthermore, two patches are available:

1) Only for users of versions 4.04m or 4.05m of the game, a patch which ensures compatibility with those versions is available here:

http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=2924

2) Only for users of the latest version of the game (1946, version 4.07m or 4.08m), an update to version 3 is available here:

http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=2925

TO INSTALL: SIMPLY UNZIP INTO YOUR GAME'S MAIN FOLDER, THAT'S ALL!

Finally for users of the add-on BOE (Battle Over Europe), I have included in the main package a little upgrade for the RAF bomber and fighter campaigns, which provides a Free French touch, on top of the A-20c which is added as a flyable aircraft. With this package you can fly together with the RAF French squadron 342 "Lorraine", or join Pierre Clostermann over Normandy in the RAF 602 squadron, or over the Ardennes in the 3rd squadron, flying the Tempest. Pierre Clostermann ended the war as the acting RAF 122nd Wing Commander.

Wow nice work mate!¬

I rarely fly offline, but this looks like a keeper!

Hello Guys,

This update also adds 6 new dynamic campaigns, bringing the total to 11 campaigns.

Hello everybody,


It is my pleasure to wish you a Happy New Year 2008 from Japan!

And for a New Year gift, here is mine: version 8 of my campaigns.

Significant improvements:

"¢ Activated functionality to customize your campaigns: you can now set the difficulty level by adding the following lines to the [DGen] section of your conf.ini:

CampaignMissions=Easy (or Normal or Hard)
CampaignAI=Easy (or Normal or Hard)

The first parameter reduces or increases the number of friendly aircraft vs opponents;
the second one reduces or increases the skill level of friendly aircraft vs enemy ones.




That way you may avoid to face systematically the outcome displayed above...
@Phazmid: sorry, I damaged the nice suit you made for my P-47!
"¢ Additional flyable aircraft: Spitfire Mk Vc with 4x20 mm guns, Spitfire Mk VIII, Douglas A-20J Boston IV, Martin B-26 Marauder (the last 2 being A-20G hacks, thanks to Madtoc and UF_Josse).



"¢ New skins: A-20C, A-20G, B-17F, B-24, Spitfire Mk Vc, Spitfire Mk VIII, Spitfire Mk IX, Bf-109Gs, FW-190-A, Me-210, Hs-129, Fi-156, Ju-87B, FW-189, P-40s. Thanks a lot to Beebop, Buglord, Carts, Claymore, Crazy277, Dusty61, Falkster, Imme, Jutocsa, Kristorf, Madtoc, Monguse, Sparty, Tchaika, UF_Josse, UF_Zargos, Vpmedia!
"¢ Reworked thoroughly mission scripts, adding more mission types and variety.
"¢ Reworked order of battle for North African campaigns: added more units and AI aircraft, based on historical data: A-20C, B-17F, B-24, Bf-109G6, Hs-129, Me-210, FW-190-A Jabo, Macchi MC-200, Fiat G-50, Me-323. More interesting encounters... I really recommend you to try these desert campaigns.
"¢ New French roundels with yellow outer ring for use with IL-2 MAT Manager, thanks to Quetzalcoatl.
"¢ 2 new dynamic campaigns on Spitfires (bringing the total to 14 dynamic campaigns; previous Spitfire campaign split into 3 separate campaigns):
* RAF fighter squadron 326 "Nice"
* RAF fighter squadron 327 "Corse"
* RAF fighter squadron 328 "Provence"


INSTALLATION : ON VERSION 7b; SIMPLY UNZIP INTO YOUR GAME'S MAIN FOLDER; ALLOW OVERWRITING OF EXISTING FILES. You do need to install version 7b prior to installing this patch. You will keep all the campaigns you already started.

COMPATIBILITY : 4.07m/4.08m/4.09m.



Again best wishes and fly safely,

Vincent

I know the normal response ought to be "trse bien", but I prefer "oui cool".


;-O)

Happy New Year M8!

By the way, I recommend you enable external views, in order to enjoy the skins. It would be too bad to miss some beauties, especially since they change clothes quite a lot between missions, a real luxury.

Cheers,

Vtrelut

Hello to offliners!


I have just uploaded on Mission4Today a patch for users of game versions 4.04m and 4.05m. This patch enables players who do not have 1946 to play all my 14 dynamic campaigns French Wings 1943 - 1945. The difference is simply the absence of the A-20C.

Happy Easter!


Vincent

Hello guys,


I just uploaded a major upgrade to my campaigns, available here on M4T:

http://www.mission4today.com/i...file=details&id=3424

It is also available at Combat Ace.

68 years after the June 1940 truce which sealed France's defeat against Germany, they are back!


Douglas DB-7, too few, too late:





In Syria and Lebanon, another oil war takes place - Yes, a war about Iraqi oil, in 1941...-, and you must defend French territories:





In Lybia with the Free French:






In Algeria and Morocco:








Some fratricides combats would - unfortunately - make victims among the allies:





Despite their American origin, the GC II/5 Lafayette did fight fiercely against the Wildcats of USS Ranger on November 8th, 1942:





(Note: some screenshots posted here show AI aircraft).


Watch your six:







The enemy is sometimes very solid and doesn't show any anxiety even after taking a lot of rounds from our guns:




Let us rejoin them in these unique air battles!

More than 2,000 missions, up to 120 campaigns assembled in 15 careers, a lot of new content, and an exclusive plane set, never seen before in IL-2: you will fly first together with the RAF, and later you may have to fight against the RAF... Just an example of the few oddities the French are capable of.

My purpose is to offer you a unique flying experience, Like No Other Pilot...

Cheers,

Vincent

New foes:

The new version contains numerous improvements: skins, mission scripts, bug corrections.

Prior to installation, it just requires EnjoyR skin patches to be installed on a 4.09m game version.

Enjoy your flights!

Please note that a new fully modded version is coming soon, with a lot more planes and maps available.
