"Battle for France - MB-152" is a semi-historical, static 17-mission campaign, set during the Battle for France 1940. You are a French fighter pilot flying the Bloch MB152. The campaign commences with the Blitzkrieg phase, starting on May 10, with the actions against Belgium, swiftly followed by the breakthrough at Sedan, the dash for the Channel, and finally the air actions of the final weeks before the armistice on June 25. (At this date French aerial resistance had virtually ceased, with a number surviving aircraft withdrawing to French North Africa.) Many missions in this campaign are based on actual events.
Note that as a C.U.P. user you will have to download this additional material:
1. The MB-152 (plus the stationary aircraft entries for the ini files found in the download). You can D/L it here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,30589.0.htmlhttps://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,30589.0.html

Did you delete the mission files fb-1 to fb-15 (.mis and .properties) and replace them with the files in the separate FighterBoysCUP folder? It works fine for me... When you're up and running, I also recommend that you download the excellent Spitfire Mk 1 mod here: http://freeil2modding.free-forum.net/spitfire-mk1-upgrade-with-redux-pilot-vt3836.html Hope that helps!

Please forgive my ignorance..(This is for CUP) I downloaded Fighterboys unzipped the folder, then placed the folder in missions/campaigns/GB... but when I go to pilot career, nothing shows up for RAF at all, I can't even choose a rank?
What did I do wrong?
If you can't even see the campaign, there is probably a folder level error. Check that the folder you placed in GB actually contains all the .mis, .properties and .ini files required in a campaign, and that there not is another folder nested in there, with all these files.
Post by: ol' Navy on April 20, 2015, 05:50:26 PM
Glad to help. If you download the Spitfire mod I recommended, I forgot to say that the one I use is the SAS Mod Act version. Save it into your #WAW folder, amend the -text5.tga file to text5.tga as per the note and add the pilot fix and you're good to go!
I did as you say (I think). I now have, in my #WAW folder, a file #SPITFIRE-MKl, in that folder, I have 3do/Cockpit/SpitfireMkl in which I did the thing with the -text5.tga folder and made it into text5.tga. Now, how do I tell whether I have done this correctly? Will the Spitfire Mkl look different than it did before? Sorry for the ignorance. Thanks for any help/advice.

Hamm, thank you very much for the info. I just figured it was something I had screwed up again. You have made me feel much better. And after I posted my query, I went ahead with the second mission and it did fine. I was gonna post and let you know but you beat me to it. Thanks again for your response, and for helping on old guy out (and to help me kinda retain what little sanity is left). You are a friend.
Post by: 33lima on May 03, 2015, 02:06:23 PM
Hamm, you are one smart dude. You continue to help us non-smart ones. Thank you for all your effort.
Many thanks for this one! I enjoyed the Lanc in Just Flight's 'Dambusters' add-on and am really looking forward to this IL-2 campaign! I've just started a mission report over at CombatAce (in the Mission Reports forum, oddly enough) and the Lancs having now arrived, I'm eagerly anticipating my first flight.

Post by: Griffon_301 on May 08, 2015, 11:50:46 AM
when I converted Peter´s MB-152 campaign, I ran into some trouble with objects like cars, buses, fuel trucks and starter vehicles as there is not much variety in CUP currently;
the new GAZ car with its color variations I think is a great way to start with; also some early war French tanks would be great and even some other older vehicle stuff...
other than that, I am looking forward to your new campaigns..I just started that great Spit campaign of yours, done for 4.10 originally; it seems to run just fine in CUP and the formation takeoff in mission 1 is just GREAT!!!!!

hi Griffon
Got tyhis in response to your helpful post...but I've just flown the first two missions this - as a pilot career, and the first mission a second time, as a single mission - and the briefing panel is completely blank - no text at all. I hear the period music (and the stock menu music) but not the controller briefings (maybe these replace the usual text ones?) mentioned in the .pdf readme. Any suggestions welcome as to what I've done wrong! TIA!
Post by: 33lima on May 11, 2015, 02:12:48 PM
33lima, you just need to remove the -_ru' extensions from the 'properties' files in the Missions/Campaign/'name of the campaign' folder and the briefings should show up.
Many thanks - i'm onto it!
Completed mission report is now up - definitely another one worth playing!

Does this work with CUP? All I get when I try to start it is a blank load screen, on both sides (no map, no brief). I removed the _ru from each of the properties folders beforehand. What did I do wrong this time? Thank you.
Post by: 33lima on May 11, 2015, 04:43:11 PM
33lima, I enjoyed reading your stories about the Lanc campaign.
I could give you a few pointers if you want another go but I was gratified to read of the challenges you experienced - that is pretty much what I was aiming for! ;D
The campaign is supposed to be difficult but the autopilot will take you to the next waypoint if you use the radio to order it to and the radio stations can be used to navigate but they are mostly just to keep you entertained on the long flight.
The mine laying mission does end up in daylight as the morning progresses and the sunrise is particularly impressive, making the return journey much easier - if you have all engines running and are not full of holes!
Anyway, well written reviews. Keep it up
Thanks! And no I haven't given up on the Lanc campaign, I'm just hoping for some bomber stream work soon, where, free of formation-keeping, all I have to worry about is mid-air collisions. And the flak. And the searchlights. And the navigation. And the night fighters. And Scarecrows. And maybe, just maybe, avoiding 'agricultural bombing', if/when I get there. And landing, if/when I get home....! It looks like a great campaign!

If it's any help it's worked fine for me, for two missions so far. The map showed up from the beginning, on the LH panel of the briefing screen. The briefing text only showed up in the RH panel, after I had deleted '_ru' from all the properties files. I'm not sure if there are some audio messages or briefings I should be hearing, that I'm not, but the normal radio comms are all playing as normal.

You might try turning missionpro in jsgme on or off. There are still issues with compatibility but it should work. Or open a mission or two in FMB and save straight away, that sometimes works. (after you remove the _ru extension though).
As always, thank you for your advice. In fact, I did turn off mission pro last night and now I get the map and brief screen but when I try to start the first mission all I get is sky (although it is a pretty one). There doesn't seem to be any aircraft since I am unable to push the "arming" button to look at the markings, etc., and the load screen goes through its processes really fast. Anyhow, I'll keep "diddling". I am pretty sure I don't have any more difficulties than you smart folks, but it's just that I don't usually possess the know how to fix them like y'all do. Thanks for your thoughts.
Post by: ol' Navy on May 12, 2015, 01:05:06 PM
When you see the brief screen if there is a flight path marked on it you will need to open the mission in FMB and just look around a bit then save and it should work. If there is NO flight path there is no player plane selected and it may take a bit more fiddling.
I don't know why these things are different for different people who apparently have the same version of CUP but I reckon its because there are just so many mods included that even a slight difference in the install process can make a difference.
Thanks friend. The only thing I have done lately concerning my game is I downloaded/installed, through JSGME of course, that air.ini switcher mod in helps of speeding up my game. Hope I didn't mess something up. But I will see this evening what you are talking about. My old eyes I'm afraid don't let me look at the game very often lately, and so I think I can do it later today. Thank you, as always for your help.

Important you must open the sfs files that pertain to the map and install that way that way when/if updates come will not mess it up. I am sure Simon will tell you what he uses to create the sfs files.
To do the static right and fast use win-merge to compare and merge the static ini if not a long time by opening both and comparing then copying and pasting the contents.
Great maps and the lanc campaign you will enjoy

More than rumours my friend, you designed the definitive SCW flightline and it will be available in CUP very soon. The French aircraft MB142, LEO451 and Potez 540 will also be integrated into the next World at War Upgrade, along with around 30 other aircraft now ready for 412.

...la_chute_spit973/chute_load.ini
this is using cup with all modules installed and waw set.
I wish I knew the cause and solution for this problem but I don't. It happens to a few people and there has been some discussion about it on the main queries thread but I have not seen a definitive answer.
Some people are adding the original map but I have not seen reports that this fixes the problem.
Sorry I am not more help - I have never seen the error myself and I use a unmodded CUP.
No problems with 1942 Lancaster Tour of Duty - Flying PURE WAW no other mods needed. Absolutely BRILLIANT campaign and its great to see more campaign/mission builders of this quality working with 412 FMB. A MASTERPIECE!

Difficulty Settings. These can be set quickly through QMB and they will be remembered by the rest of the sim after that.
You need realistic landings etc, basically set everything to realistic except for views, I still like to look outside, and 'no instant success', keep that off. Then go back to the campaign and the mission will start properly.

1.) No, it just takes you to the eve of "Barbarossa", June 1941.
2.) The starting SCW segment requires some aircraft not currently in CUP, no :-\\ But eventually (if time can be found) I hope to update this whole campaign. And hopefully by then I will be fully CUP-compatible myself :)

Hi everybody,
same error for me, with Monty27's Flying Tiger campaign (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,35546.0.html). First I removed "_ru" from mission filenames, and now the text briefings is ok but still the "arming" button doesn't work and the mission starts with a almost-blank screen...

I just tested and all the missions load properly in my install. Maybe, deactivate all your mods and see if it works. If so, add them back one at a time.

F6C??? Are we talking about two different missions here? The first mission is a C-47 flight from Mingaladon to Toungoo. Also, CUP does includes the F6C4Hawk. The Flying Tigers campaign that I am running and that was referenced was originally made by Monty for "The Full Monty" mod.
Post by: Griffon_301 on June 15, 2015, 12:57:06 PM
well, but TFM was designed for 4.10 and what I have posted about the campaign conversion woes is still the same, read through that thread to get a better picture why certain 4.10 campaigns designed for TFM will not work out of the box in CUP!
the issue that was posted here might be a missing plane, a loadout for a plane that is not available or other things like missing chiefs, etc...;
the best way to check is to load the mission that does not work in FMB in CUP and see what errors creep up during loading...there might be none but there also might be quite a lot of them...

It seems that this Flying Tigers campaign works fine on everybody's CUP-modded game except mine... :(
I strongly suggest you to reinstall CUP at some time, maybe with fresh new downloads ; with such a big pack 90% of the game could be ok with some corrupted files anyway. First time I had problems with a few maps and the game crashing when quitting. Reinstalling CUP solved most of the problem...

"The Debden Eagles" of the Mustang Legends series ver 4.121
"Armhem and Antwerp" by CorkerHam ver 4.122
"Typhoons over Normandy" by Poltava ver 4.122 CUP
BTW all of the above campaigns are at M4T, there is also a link to Poltava's campaigns on page 1 for CUP, 3 in all.
So far I am a happy camper, er campaigner ;D.
I have also downloaded some other campaigns from different platforms of IL2 1946 such as DBW and TFM, but have not tried them yet.

yesterday I installed the Philk's trilogy Hell in the Pacific in my IL2 CUP-modded install, and it seems running ok.
I've only started the first mission of each campaign, took off and flew a few minute, but nothing strange happened. Only Guam is started with a dramatic drop of FPS, but I think is due to my old PC.
you can find it at M4T:

about the problem with the loading of La Chute map, I solved the problem by adding a tex file in the mapmods/maps of WAW, the structure beeing: tex/water/PacificBlue.tga. I got the PacificBlue.tga by copying the PacificBlueTL.tga and removing theTL. As far as I remember I found the tex folder in one of the La Chute map. I hope it will help.
Regards.

Any word on when some others will be headed our way? When you are seventy-two like me, time is likely of the essence if you know what I mean.
Yea, I know what you mean, 73 here. :P

Almost all the missions are running fine in gorgeous CUP but every 6 or 7 missions, there is one that crashes (exploding planes, etc ...).
So I keep my cool :-\ , select "quit" without choosing "Apply". I exit the game, change the settings of the selector to "5.30 Modact" instead of CUP, start the game et voila! I can run the mission (without the bells and whistles of CUP) and then switch back to CUP for the next one.
This would also work for campaigns done for HSFX if you had it installed in the same folder as CUP.

Sorry if the tip has been passed on but this is what I do with "Blinding Sun" (USSR-VVS stock campaign) in #WAW-CUP:Have had a quick look at the Cold Winter (Blinding Sun) missions and note that several don't fully load - aircraft Ju 87D3 , Ju 87 D5 and Ju 87 G1 are changed in CUP To Ju87 D3j , Ju 87 D5j , and Ju87G1j - check air.ini in STD - and so cause aircraft to explode ; similarly the 4xSC50 bombs are now 4xSC70 for Ju87D5j : mission files need to be altered : in addition , if memory is correct, mission28 needs player aircraft moving slightly to avoid crashing . So you have the option of updating mission files and staying in CUP Mode .Best wishes - Trev.

Of course there is always a reason behind crashes and you found it!
Doesn't look like a big job to do a batch replace for those changed references.

Any campaign for the Vietnam F-4s and Mig-21s ?
I would like to see those SA-2 in action ;)
Are their any missions or campaigns for these items?

I'll join Hairog in this question. At the moment I'm flying, and thoroughly enjoying, Poltava's Finnish Front campaign. I would love to find not only CUP-compatible Jet Age campaigns, especially covering the Viet Nam period, but Dawn of Flight campaigns as well.
I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank Poltava here for help with a campaign installation problem. Had I paid closer attention to the instructions, I would have thought to change the file name so that there were no spaces. :-[

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,47063.msg522687.html#msg522687
this is a special case... this bug is caused by the optional visualmod that you can activate in JSGME.
to fix: disable all visualmods in JSGME.
if you want (like me and many others) still use the brilliant visualmod, download a clean version from SAS (either version 8 or 9) and install that.
i am not sure why the CUP included visualmods were not updated yet, this bug was reported several times, but it should work as described above.
This afternoon I will try to disable all visual mod and I will try again. I will report the results.
Ciao.

glad I could help :)
in case you want to have the Viz Mod, try and download the mod from the appropriate thread here...my vizMod V9 works as advertised most of the time that way, but to be honest, I can also live without it...
whats more interesting is that SweetFx thingie that was promoted here a few weeks ago, that really ups the ante with regard to the beauty of this sim....

I hope next release of visualmods may works better for all CUP enthusiasts...

Now I am playing with Battle for France and it appear very nice! Just two question:
- It is really hard to roll with MB152. :o. Just my experience or others have experienced this?
- I need as below?
Quote
Note that as a C.U.P. user you will have to download this additional material:
1. The MB-152 (plus the stationary aircraft entries for the ini files found in the download). You can D/L it here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,30589.0.htmlhttps://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,30589.0.html
2. The LeO-451 (plus the stationary aircraft entries for the ini files found in the download). You can D/L it here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,32853.0.html
3. The Self Stationary version of the Potez 540 series. You can D/L it here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15399.0.html

Can someone confirm that it works in C.U.P. if just the extension "_ru" is removed? Then I can simply do a C.U.P. version. Having my fingers crossed here... Thanks in advance! :)
Post by: Zoran395 on December 24, 2015, 06:20:31 AM
I cannot remember if you have CUP installed or not.
If you do, did you run a test to see if the objects/planes/loads are in sync with CUP .ini files?
Not sure if you remember, we had a post about it at https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,45182.msg530561.html#msg530561
With 45 missions, this is the way to go.

Posted the result at M4T yes it does work in cup all you have to do is remove _ru
Post by: SAS~Poltava on December 24, 2015, 11:59:44 PM
But then you have to replace all files with the extension "*_ru.properties" with the corresponding files that you find in the special folder in the download marked "For CUP". :)

I had fun to run your campaign France 1940 D520, the Dewoitine is a fine aircraft in comparison with the MB 152 which flies like a flat-iron. Unfortunately with CUP up to 18B, on the 7th mission the plane is on the belly. As far as I remember I met no problem with the previous version of CUP or SAS. What would you recommend? I have read the log.text but I am not able to decipher it.
Thank you and best regards.

are you talking about this campaign? "Battle for France 1940 - Dewoitine D.520"

that's right. Maybe I could use the your campaign written for the MB 152 adapted for CUP and replace the MB 152 by the D 520?
Best regards.

If you just wait a week or two I will make that converting myself. I had plans to do it anyway :)

As you said: the D.520 flies like a dream comapred to the sluggish MB.152!

could you please check one of the missions I don't remember exactly which one, I think it was over Sedan, I could check if you want, in which there is a huge lot of aircrafts, british, french and german resulting in a desperating low fps?
Best regards and thank you.

I'll see what I can do. Perhaps reduce some of the ground activity and the AAA fire.
The updated 4.12 version of this campaign is soon ready BTW :)

I think I guess what mission you are talking about: the big attack on the German bridges over the Meuse.

While staying on this topic... If you need to to improve FPS, what kind of objects/activities will you sacrifice the first?
Probably in this order, what do you think?
1. Parachutes
2. Quick fire flak (as Wiberlwind).
3. Explosions
4. Flak other
5. Artillery other
6. Aircrafts
7. Moving vehicles/ships

That is a good list, actually. (Not least a LOT of chutes can take a big bite out of your FPS.) And as long as the mission is not a ground-pounding one, moving vehicles can be reduced as well.

So now you get to fly F_Red's amazing Dewoitine D.520 in the Battle for France! This campaign is essentially a remake of my "Battle for France" (4.12) campaign for the MB.152, but with a number of additions and adjustments. E.g. there are fewer escort missions (the MB.152 was in contrast with the D.520 primarily used as an escort), the opposition is a bit tougher and there are more missions with random elements.

Thanks for looking! :)

The text on mission4today is a little confusing because it says it is for HSFX 7.0.3
Can we use it for both ?
Post by: SAS~Poltava on February 12, 2016, 01:36:44 AM
This update is done after a request. And I did it on the 4.12 system I use currently, and as I don't use CUP (yet) I don't know if it works there. Just try it and see! :)
Post by: jeanba on February 12, 2016, 03:20:20 AM
As I wrote on M4T: "It might work in CUP as well. I hope so but don't know ATM."Indeed, I have HSFX with all necessary install, so I will play it under HSFX

Anyone had the same or similar problem? Any ideas for a solution?
Edit: solved my problem. But the mystery deepens! The Ju-88s had a load-out in the mission file that doesn't exist. The odd thing is I checked the load-out against the weapon.ru file and there was 6x250 bombs just as the mission file said. So I thought there was no problem there but when I check in the quick mission builder that load-out doesn't exist. When I changed 6 to 4 everything worked fine. But why does weapon.ru contain a load-out that doesn't exist?

I've had another confirmation that "Onwards to Stalingrad!" seems to work in CUP.
Really great, Poltava!! However, I don't see any mission briefings. Must have something to do with the properties.ru file?
Thanks for help!!
Post by: SAS~Poltava on March 19, 2016, 01:47:57 PM
I will provide a CUP version eventually, but in the meanwhile use a program like "Bulk Rename Utility" to simply rename those files from "... ru.properties" to "... .properties". Or do it manually. :)

Well, there has been some changes in CUP that can hurt backward compatability, but why only the creators of CUP can explain.
Good to hear that you found the culprit. Yes: the exploding aircraft on the runway-bug is almost always connected to a loud-out not supported by the game version used.

I am experiencing a desperately low fps of 6 to 8 with your superb campaigns "Baby Blitz" and "1940 Potez 631" What should I do? I use CUP up to 20.
Best regards.
Post by: SAS~Poltava on March 26, 2016, 04:41:43 PM
I can't really say, as I don't have CUP. These campaigns run fine with high FPS in my rig, which is pretty old. They have been built with DBW 1.71. The problem can be that there are often many aircraft in the air at the same time, and also, in some of them, many AA guns.
I understand that having many aircraft in the air at the same time in CUP can be problematic. It could also be that you lack some crucial unit: for instance "Baby Blitz" and the Potez Campaign are Night fighting campaign (at least partially), that both uses a number of functions that can only be found in the C&C Mod. That could be the answer.
Notice that neither of these campaigns have been "CUP certified". They are, technically speaking, still DBW 1.71/4.10 campaigns. And there is a problem in CUP with the backward compatibility, so a lot of older campaign material will not work in CUP. At least if it hasn't gone through a deliberate CUP update.

The campaign has been built in HSFX, and as I don't have CUP I haven't been able to confirm myself that the campaign actually works 100% in CUP. Others have told us so.
Now, I know from my "Abbeville Boys" campaign that there are some strange and/or subtle differences between CUP and HSFX that I can't explain, that seems to affect the size of some common objects (or placement of hit boxes - I don't know), meaning for instance that an aircraft can start from under under a specific masking net in HSFX, but it will come in contact with the same net in CUP, and in worse case explode.
Try opening the problematic missions in FMB and move the offending objects out of the way :-|
