Good news indeed:)

May I ask why you would use the Circus map for the Channel conflict instead of Canons channel map? As I understand the Circust gives a relatively "narrow" tunnel to fly in and so much of the action in the period is in the Dunkirk- Le Havre region.

The reason is simple: Time.

If i would use Canons map for this period i would have to create new mission templates with all ground objects from scratch and i would have to create all the mission again from scratch, that´s to much work - my Channel front or now called Westfront campaign is the cumulated work of nearly 10 years, i can´t do a complete change to a complete new set of maps in some weeks, it´s impossible.

Every new map means

1) Adding the map data to Asuras Mod EXE
2) Create a complete template with populated airfields, static and moving objects and ships, target areas and so on
3) Create complete new missions, related to the new distances

That is work for months - for each map. Keep in mind that the normandy map in my campaign is more than highly populated.

The DRK_Circus map fit´s this period also, at least as a start, with realistic distances and now realistic airfields and missions for the RAF/USAAF- it is done in 1:1 scale! And it´s possible to use the mission sets and object templates from my old campaign.

Atm i´m spending a lot of time to add Gilb´s Westfront 40/44 map to the campaign for the 1940 and 1944/45 part. This map is much better suited because of the ammount of details.

Additionaly i have to work on my Northern Africa /MTO campaign ... as said, i can´t do all at once.

Makes a whole lot of sense:) I have just been tweaking a few maps in Unlocked FMB myself- and I have spent countless hours. I can only image what it takes to make all the templates/populations etc.

Anyway- thanks for the reply- and be sure to keep us posted on your work. Your w.i.p status is impressive.

Cheers!

from the download page:

Unzip the files and copy them into the DGEN folder of IL2, you will find the new campaigns in the campaign rooster as "Boelckes Westfront campaign for ... "

A new, complete reworked skin pack for Luftwaffe skins (version 1.1) is available now:

The pack will also fit future updates of the campaign, the skins for the upcoming Battle of Britain part are included as well.

The RAF skin pack version 1.1 doesn´t have new skins, but i have corrected some bugs with the skin desricptions, so that the unmarked B 25´s or Hurricanes don´t appear anymore for example.

Hi.I have a small problem with RAF and Luftwaffe - fighter and fighterbomber career.
When i go to campaings menu, click on RAF,  choose Boelckes Westfront campaign for fighter pilot and press start then it's back to game manu.
I don't have "beep" or something like that . I checked all files in dgen folder. It's look ok. I don't have DGEN error.
My il2 version is IL2 1945 4.12.1 5.20 modactivator.
My USAAF and RAF bomber carieers works fine.
My IL2 1946 4.11 HSFX6 works OK
Please HELP

Make sure that all used planes from DBW 1.71 are available in your mod act install, the bomber campaigns are using stock planes only, with the exeption of the players planes (B 26 and so on).

If so, try this file file pack for updating the British ranks and medals:

http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=629

in most cases it solves the problems with the RAF parts.

[Sobilak]

I used this file pack to.

[Boelcke]

The only reason can be the 4.12 install with mod, but i don´t know if the campaign is working with 4.12, so if the things mentioned above don´t help, i´m sorry.

OK thanks
