Hi Monty27 ;
I downloaded and 7zip to desktop to find a read me file and that put about 130 files onto desktop ,takes awhile to delete all of them . Said if you have DBW1.1 with SAS FBDSM "PUT" this campaign into the mission/campaign/GB folder . What does "PUT" mean as it is most of the time 7zip into IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 or copy and paste into mission/campaign/GB plus copy and paste shins into skins folder so how do I install this campaign ? I have DBW bid 1.2 and it will be DBW bid 1.3 this week so what do we do about these installs ? Sorry to be a sore spot in your day ! thanks loads for your help flyby1
Hi flyby1
I think the DBW builds are cumulative, so campaigns for an earlier version should work just as well in a later version. Of course we can all actually test this too. I will keep it up to date (downloading 1.2 now) and patch the campaign for a later version if necessary or if we want to add more stuff to it, no worries!
Its probably not a good idea to unzip anything straight to your desktop in most cases. Instead, why not create a folder in some out of the way corner of your drive and unzip into that for a rummage around? Then if it all goes pear-shaped, you can chuck the folder away in one go.
If you look at the zip structure it has folders that go Missions/Campaign/GB/1940_The_Siege_of_Malta or Missions/Single/GB/1940_The_Siege_of_Malta and one for the skins. Its in the same structure as you find in ANY install of DBW or Il2 or 1946 or whatever you call it, so anyone can see where to PUT the new folders in the right places. That I what I mean by PUT!
There's no readme, just a three page illustrated PDF with these explanations plus campaign notes plus the Order of Battle and Historic notes from the research. Plus my support here of course, its always great to here from you all.
Hope you can get it going Flyby.
