East Africa DCG Campaign - beta ready - Test pilots wanted

Post by :FI:Sneaky_Russian » Fri Jul 13, 2007 8:36 pm

With greatest thanks to Soda for the DCG crash course; I've put together an East Africa '41 Campaign. Missions are generating OK now, maybe one or two tweaks on plane set (possibly include the Betty as a stand in Caprone).

As it stands the map is Kolkin Gol

RAF and SAAF flyable

Mk1 Hurricane
Gladiator
A20C

RAF/SAAF AI

Blenheim mkIV
Ju52
Hawk

Italian flyable

CR42
G50
(Betty?)

Italian AI
Ju52 ( S81)
DB3M

I guess it will be like a cross between "Mareth Line" and "Over Flanders Fields" :badgrin:

Thanks for the test Sunday guys.
Tuned things up a bit since then and flown 3 test missions.

One odd point is that unless I quit Il2; selecting "New" mission just loads the Last mission. ???

When I quit and select the campaign the next mission is generated , but the de-brief only includes kills ( yes I got some :lol: ) from the previous mission and not the total for the campaign. Any clues Tac??

Campaign re-worked

Post by :FI:Sneaky_Russian » Fri Jul 20, 2007 6:15 am

I've edited the campaign, revised routes and front. I've also added "alias" names to locations on map (Khalkhin Gol) for a bit more flavour.

Now for some skins . . .

Looks great Sneaky. I love African campaigns.

There's a DCG campaign by JastaV set in a similar time period but different location that might give you some skin ideas. It's available here and the readme has links to appropriate skins.

Not sure if DCG will run this as a campaign without the Germans invading Scotland, but can generate coops on the Template.
