Hi there !

I have made a "redo" of my Swiss fighter pilot in 1940 campaign, using new maps, planes, etc.

As I can not upload it to M4T (any help is welcome...), it is available here :

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UKX2P4BM¨.

EDITED : this is the link to the V2b version, which has complete English briefings (older version has English briefings only on some installs).

EDIT 2 : now available at M4T here : http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1013 and at Combatace here too : http://combatace.com/files/file/12514-swiss-campaign-2011-version/.

ESIT 3 : version v2c available at M4T, here : http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1013, including now the Swiss awards by Purgatorio.

So, if you want to know more, here is the readme (English version) :

Hello friends !

The old ones probably remember the old Swiss campaign I made on FB back in 2003 (or was it in 2004, I
do not remember...).

In those old days, it was necessary to make adaptations, because there was not the correct map, nor
the planes available in the game, etc...

But now, thank to the great work this fantastic IL-2 community has made through the years, it became
possible to completely redo this campaign. And now, there is in only one thing missing : Swiss
"rewards" !!! If someone feels like he was to do them... please feel free to do so !!! but in the meanwhile,
I used the French ones (medals, if you prefer). You will have to deal with it !!!

But this time, you will really fly the workhorse of the Swiss Air Force of that era, the ME-109E-3
(we do not say Bf in Switzerland, but ME), and not E-4... and on a much more adapted map, because
I used the zip_Alpen_west one (and a huge thank to Zippzapp !!!), which is much more better than the
one I used in the past (Smolensk). For the rest, what more can I say ?

Well... first of all, a big thank to all the modders, skinners, maps and planes makers from all over
the world. I will not name them, because they are too much, but if they play this campaign, I am sure
they will recognize their work. Then, a big thank you to Oled Maddox and all 1:C team, who gave us
this fantastic sim which becomes old now, but is still the best one !!! Also, a big thank you to
the SAS community (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php), the place where you can find most of the
international IL-2 community, in peace and friendship, and to Checksix
(http://www.checksix-forums.com/), home of the French speaking community. You will always be welcome
on these 2 places, and if you gently ask for something there, there will always be a friendly guy
ready to help you or do what you ask for !!! I know it, because it is what I sometimes do...

Now, how to install :

-download and unzip this package in a temporary folder,
-then, copy-paste the 3 folders you obtain (Missions, PaintSchemes and samples) in the root of your
 game (for example, in C:\games\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946), or anywhere is your IL-2 installed,
-open the English briefings folder, and copy-paste the Missions folder into your game : it will over-
 write the French briefings to English (well... should do so...),
-launch the game go to campaign mode, search for Switzerland where you will find a campaign called
 "ME 109 over the Jura (modded)" or "ME 109 sur le Jura (moddée)", depending if your game is in
 English or not.

Compatibility :

This campaign will work only if you have a UltraPack 3 RC4 (or more) version of the game. The UP3RC4
is available at SAS (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php). It should also normally work on a DBW
install, as Dark Blue World is installed on the UP3, but I did not check it out.

So now... have fun !!!



Thierry Duruz aka Gaston

Wish you the best !!!!


Edit 2013.04.12 :

Only the mis files to play the campaign in HSFX 6.0.17.

You need to download the complete campaign at M4T, then this little update, and replace the old mis files by these new ones. Easy !

And you need the He-111P-2 available on this site.

Have fun !

Many Thanks! S!

 ??? Recently stepped again over the predecessor, was quite a hit, very unique, thinking what a waste we don't have it updated.
Completed the first Mission, destroyed 2 Zwergenhüslis of the german neighbours.
Chapeau

Gaston - how do I install this so that the briefings are in English instead of French? Please pardon my ignorance

[wheelsup_cavu]

What seems to be the problem uploading at M4T Gaston ? I just checked all of your permissions at M4T and they look up to date to me.

You see, you have briefings in English... normally, it should appear so !

But the problem maybe comes that I also put the French briefings with a _ru at the end... so, take the info_ru.properties, CH01_ru.properties files, etc, and throw them away. Do the same with the intro_ru.msg and the killing_ru.msg files in the video folder.

Or download this : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5DJAE53E. It is only the missions, with no skins (as you have the other download, no problem...). It should solve this little problem !!!

wheelsup_cavu... anytime I try to download it, it breaks after a moment with a 404 error. Maybe because I do it with Mozilla... should I use Internet Explorer instead ???

Thanks Gaston!

I haven't had any trouble using Internet Explorer recently to upload files to M4T. If you continue to have problems we can definitely figure out a way to get it uploaded by myself or one of the other admins at M4T for you.

If I am not online just use the Member feedback forum and ask for some help getting it uploaded.

Thanks, wheelsup_cavu. I am now trying to upload the V2b version (with possibility to correctly have English briefings) to M4T using Internet Explorer : seems to work fine, but have to wait as it is working now... I will tell if there are problems or if it is OK !!! I will also upload it to my Megaupload space after. I will edit this post and the first one when OK !!!

Thank you for your patience and persistence in getting this campaign uploaded at M4T Gaston. 
You should be able to use Mozilla for your uploads in the future. We found that our security software was causing a few problems with links and have changed some things in our permissions to address it. It was even keeping some of us from using links in our forums.  ???
