2. Be sure to download the skin packs too as many of the skins in this campaign are contained in these packs but NOT included in this package.

Installation:
1. Just copy over to your root Il-2 1946 directory - the folders are already 
set up.
2. Back-up the DGen files in case you want to revert back.
3. File:

Notes:
a. I rate these revisions as semi-historical as I've tried to use timeframe 
appropriate plane sets as much as was possible.
b. And i did add the P-47M to the last 2 Ops.  Historicaly only the 56th FG used the "M".  And they had a lot of engine issues which limited it's effectiveness in combat.  But it's was used - and it's in BAT so...enjoy.

BONUS - Classic Fighter Group Skins Collection

(Well, not really a bonus as you are going to need a lot of these skins for this mod so they are all included.)

Here are all the skins I have for the 4th, 56th and 354th Fighter Groups.  And I have a ton of them.
(...and there are a few others too as I needed to recreate the folders - got lazy, so just delete what you don't want!)

Some are generic but most are aircraft/squadron specific for these particular groups.

They've been covered quite well over the past years by the likes of Jester,eMel and the incomparable Goodwood.  I am also fortunate enough to present the 4th Fighter Group skins of DravenXIII who did a special set for me based on artwork of the group's ground crew Sergeant Don Allen.

And finally, this package includes some tasty 56th FG P-47M skins that you will not find on M4T.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do and feel free to modify the Ops files* to include your favorite skins.


(*See the DGen mod guide I posted for tips on how this is done.)
