I had to reformat the pc last weekend. As a result, I lost a lot of stuff because my backups were a few weeks old, including where I left off in my campaign.

Now I could just refly the 20-30 missions to get back where I was, but I'm not to thrilled with the idea. Any one know how I can "skip ahead" to where I was without doing that?

Thanks in advance.

If you start the campaign with "No Instant Access" unchecked in the difficulty options(the light is out), then you can easily start a mission and then quit before doing anything, and you will have the apply button lit up. Keep doing that until you are where you need to be. That's the only way I can think of, as I don't think anyone has come up with an editor that you can use to modify the campaign.ini file in your pilot folder.

If it was a user made campaign you can just go into the campaign folder and modify it by deleting the names of the missions you have flown.

For example, here is the campaign folder from my "Straight From the Farm" training campaign:

[Main]
Class il2.game.campaign.CampaignRed
awardsClass il2.game.campaign.AwardsRUfighter
[list]
Farm_A01.mis
Farm_A02.mis
Farm_A03.mis
Farm_A04.mis
Farm_A05.mis
Farm_A06.mis
Farm_A07.mis
Farm_A08.mis
Farm_A09.mis
Farm_A10.mis
Farm_A11.mis
Farm_A12.mis
Farm_A13.mis
Farm_A14.mis
Farm_A15.mis
Farm_A16.mis
Farm_A17.mis
Farm_A18.mis
Farm_A19.mis

You could delete the first 10 missions and start the campaign with mission 11 by deleting the names Farm_A01.mis thru Farm_A10.mis from this file.
