My latest campaign -

'Hell's Angles' a historical campaign for the B17F, is now ready for download at M4T in the mods section.

take the controls of B17F serial number 41-24577 code VKD 'Hell's Angels' of the 358th Bomb squadron, 303rd Bomb Group (Heavy) - the first B17 to complete 25 combat missions over Europe!

You will fly from Nov 1942 on the 303rd's very first mission, until Aug 1943 and infamous 'Double Strike' Schweinfurt/Regensburg mission.

Special thanks to the B17 expert JaRink who's many 303rd BG skins helped inspire me to start this campaign, and to Bakshi in San Diego who took over the job of adding squadron codes and nose art to dozens of skins and did a top notch job, and saved me many hours of work, and to Dave C in Australia for play-testing.

The campaign comes with over 80 B17 skins, and over 100 skins in total !!

You will need Mods installed, and Fly_Zo's Normandy with English Coast map mod to play the campaign.

Enjoy!

This is a campaign that I had been thinking about and researching but could never find the time to do. I'm looking forward to this one, mainly just flying from a gunner position as I know squat about bombing.
So glad someone else was inspired by Jarink's incredible, tireless work with the 8thAF.

Can't believe no-one else has posted. I guess this kind of campaign is a niche, but hopefully fans of the genre will take the time to post their thanks andcomets.

I think a lot of players would like to try this campaign....from the other side

Ah, but what a nice niche!!

If I can find the time to un-dork my IL2 install (I need to un-mod it and work out a couple of minor Win7 video driver issues), I'm certainly going to give this a try.

Looking forward to this...just downloaded. Thanks

Another cool campaign to check out.

I can't use the extractor programme. I have Il2 in a different location than standard but if I browse to another directory it wont let me proceed. I really want to see/steal some skins but I can't even download it to a temp file.

Hi FlatSpinMan

Yes - very sorry, my first attempt at a self install prog for a campaign, and I didn't realise that the path couldn't be changed, go ahead and install it to the default IL2 location it will not harm anything else, then just move/copy the HELLS ANGELS campaign folder into your US campaign folder location, and the same for the following skin folders -

B17F
B24J
P47D10
109G2
109G6
FW190A4
Bf 110G2
Me 210CA1
Spit VB

Should only take a minute or 2 to do. As soon as I get a bit of free time away from RL , I'll re-do the install so that it can be installed to any location,

Regards

Hey, can you update the file? On my PC the main drive is H for some reason, not C, so I can't even install it then copy it across.

OK FlatSpinMan no prob

I've got a day off on Thurs, so will work on a new install version - and upload it sometime tomorrow...

Cheers

Simon
