Probably best to post this in here, I just played the Hellhounds P38 campaign, hats off to the person who made it as its good fun and has a good variety of missions but I'm looking for a new offline campaign. I've also played the Real Deal and 2 little Ducs so has any one got any recommendations on good and fun campaigns?

Not too fussed about the planes involved but not the worlds biggest fan of VVS aircraft.

I would recommend mine of course. Links in the sig!

You should check this thread... about just that in the GD.

Right, now here comes a list. The following campaigns, if you don't find them on the Pacific Fighters missions page, can be found either at http://www.airwarfare.com or http://www.flying-legends.com

HH-Dubbo's Castaway Campaign - still my absolute favourite, because of the sheer atmosphere and creativity of it. You fly a Beaufighter from an abandoned airfield on a Pacific Atoll.

Chuck Older's 'When Tigers Could Fly': An American Volunteers Group campaign, flying early P-40s in 'China' - simulated using several Eastern front maps.

Bird_Brain's 'Cactus Diary': his latest - Flying F4F4 Wildcat's as a USMC pilot, during the initial invasion of Guadalcanal.

Bird_Brain's 'El Amein': A campaign in three parts - fly as an RAF, USAAF or Luftwaffe Afrika Corps pilot over the desert during the push to El Amein.

HH-Zeus Cat's 'Straight Shot': A short 8 mission campaign for the Zero float place (Rufe). Quite a lot of fun to fly a campaign that isn't at all centred around air combat operations.

Bird_Brain's 'The Blue': BBs early war desert campaign, flying a Gladiator for the RAF. Such a beautiful cockpit in the desert sunset.

Istvan (VP Media)'s 'Beaufighters in the Desert': Self explanatory - the first mission (taking a Beau off a carrier) is a real bizatch.

VPMedia's Hungarian campaign: Late war campaign flying 109s for the Hungarian Air Force. Istvan's skins are incredible, and his campaigns are like a Whitman's sampler

'Against Overwhelming Odds' (sorry, forgotten author temporarily): A neat campaign for the Me-163B Komet 'Bertha'. Intercepting huge Yankee air strikes in a rocket interceptor - fun stuff. Lots of variety, too, which was a pleasant surprise.

'Leaning Foward into France': Spitfire campaign over early Nazi occupied Normandy. Excellent classic Spit vs 109 dogfights.

'Festung Europa' (Hot Space): Same again - but no less fun!

'The Shooting Stars': Fictional Campaign flying the P-80 Shooting Star for the USAAF over Ardennes. Watch out for the 262s!

'Balaton 1940': A fictional campaign - you start out in a B-239 Brewster but quickly move on to a 109E7/B. I've liked what I've seen so far (only played 5 missions).

'China 1945': An enjoyable fictional campaign flying the P-51B Mustang over 'China'.

Johnny Red: I really like this one. It's based on a comic book from the '70s, about a bad-*** British pilot who gets stuck in Russia and keeps his fight up against the Jerry with the Red Falcons. You fly a Hurricane, don't worry. I think the mission designs of this campaign are particularly neat.

Hell-Hounds P-38 Campaign Pt2 - just in case you didn't know there was a sequel to the P-38 campaign you just enjoyed

That's a start, anyway

Bird_brain, I would do but I've played nearly all your campaigns!

I still go back to Greatest Aces occasionally to see if I can do better.

Thanks for the link JunkoIfurita but airwarefare, flying legends and netwings have been my stable diet of offline flying for sometime so I've played most of them.

[Zeus-cat]

Dubbo's stuff doesn't get the credit it deserves. Castaways is a hoot. You won't find a better campaign from a three-fingered, one-legged, mute with only a sixth-grade education ANYWHERE!

Zeus-cat

[-HH-Dubbo]

Um...thanks Zeus....

For sheer immersion and concentration, Zeus-cat's Straight & True campaign is hard to beat. It's a torpedo campaign for the IL-2T and is very intricate which makes all your achievments within the campaign that much sweeter. It's also available at airwarfare.com

Thanks to the WOLFMondo for playing and finishing my Hellhounds P-38 campaign. That was my first. Nice to know that it stood up.

JunkoIfurita, glad you liked Castaway. Did you actually play Pt2 of the Hellhounds campaign?
I never got any feedback on that from anyone so it'd be nice to know it was played through at least...

[Saunders1953]

For the record, "Against Overwhelming Odds" was by Dunkelgrun.

Looks like I'm going to have to have a go at "Straight & True"--it's been d/l'd for a while, but I just never got around to it.

[hotspace]

Festung Europa? Wow I did that one an age ago now

Also m8 try my "Cat's Eye's" Nightfighting Campaign as it's I guess one of the hardest ones around

Hot Space

[WOLFMondo]

i started playing cats eye but theres a graphics glitch which really prevented me playing it past the first mission.

i'll have to try it now i've installed the new catalyst drivers.

not sure i tried festung europa, i played a couple of spitty campaigns a while back since i reformatted i lost all my il2 gubbins [2gb of skins too]. i'll give it a try.

Dubbo, the hellhounds campaign is good fun, some missions i had to try a number of times cause i got shot down, massed ship aa is nasty but i love to fly the p38j so it was a fun never the less. theres one bug though, the mission where your supposed to have no ammo cause your transporting someone, i had ammo for some reason.
