It only happened a couple of other times, both while playing older static campaigns, world war II cruise and White Sun, Blue Sky I think they were, both American campaigns.  In those campaigns some of the other squadrons would talk in Russian.  They weren't the important ones though, so it didn't happen every mission.  With this campaign, whenever there's a bomber escort mission, the bombers talk in Japanese.  Ground control talks to me in English, but talks to the bombers in Japanese.  Very strange...  I haven't played any other GB campaigns on this install, so don't know if it would occur with other campaigns.  I could run something and find out though.

Are you sure you are hearing Japanese? In British campaigns you will sometimes here Polish, because that's the language spoken by the pilots in the Polish RAF squadrons, for example 315 Squadron.

White Sun, Blue Sky  is a NN none campaign not US, so languages could have got mixed up,are you sure it was not chinese? that would make sense if a chinese speech pack was in the none folder, I dont know about WWII criuse but " Enterprise" Although a US campaign, was also installed into the "none" folder, it is possible you have left over parts of speech packs installed into none folder by auto installer from old campaigns.

I am not keen on auto installer .exe's for that reason, If a campaign is inteded to go into the None folder i install to a folder on desktop and arrange it to the file structure for JSGME then my none folder is not messed up and i can de-activate it when i am finished

Honestly I'm not sure I'm hearing Japanese.  The only languages I really know anything about are English, German, and a little bit of Spanish.  I can recognize Russian when I hear it, but know very few words.  What I'm hearing is completely foreign to me.  I've heard some Japanese and Chinese in movies, but that's about it.  I heard some words which for some reason sounded like Japanese, but now that I think about it the cadence of it seemed a little slow, judging from what I've heard before.  I've never really heard Polish, so it may be that and I would have no idea.  When I first heard it I was trying to decide if it was Japanese or Portuguese... and since these two languages have nothing in common, it's probably neither and I have no idea what language it is.  It's a British campaign, so I was expecting English.  When I heard something else, I was a little surprised. 

White Sun, Blue Sky is indeed filed under "none" as the country.  It also was installed via a .exe installer program, so there could be language packs in there that I didn't know were there.  If I deleted the "none" folder, would it make a difference?  WWII cruise is installed in the UN folder if memory serves.  I've reinstalled since I flew that one though, so no remnants of it should be on my folder.  But out of curiosity, why would Russian show up in that campaign?  I've played some stock USSR campaigns before, so I know what the radio calls sound like, and I definitely heard a few of those while flying the WWII cruise vol. 1 campaign.  I also don't know where IL2 calls it's languages from, so I have no idea where this problem might stem from.

juri_js is right, in my Westfront campaign there are some polish RAF squadrons included, which are talking polish on RT - perhaps that´s the language you mentioned

In static campaigns it is always possible that the campaign builder forgot to select the correct squadrons for some flights. The Russian squadrons are the first in the red squadron list, so it is a common mistake. Open the missions in the full mission builder to see if the wrong squadrons were selected.

Well if there are Polish units as part of this campaign, I am going to assume that what I am hearing is Polish.  Thanks for the help guys, and no offense meant to any Polish people who read this

I have a problem with the campaign starting.  I select USAAF and a bomber campaign but when I click the "Start" button nothing happens.
What did I miss?

[Boelcke]

Any error messages form the dgenerror.log file?

Is the B 26 installed? It´s the only addon plane you need additionaly to UP/DBW.

Do you use the latest version of the DGEN.EXE (4.0.8.6)?

[tomoose]

It was the version of the DGen.exe file.   It works now.

BTW is this campaign only using the Normandy map or does it change to any modded maps later?

thanks for all the work.

dgen.exe can´t handle other than stock maps, only Asuras new dgen.exe mod will make it possible to use them in the future

Is this campaign supposed to be this hard? I'm flying as an American Fighter Pilot in '43 with a P-51B and my squadron is being slaughtered:

- 1st Mission: I shot down a Bf-109, then swam back to the Base after a FW-190 took my wing off. From the other 7 pilots, in my squadron of 8 including me, 4 where killed and 3 are missing.

- 2nd Mission: I shot down 2 Bf-109 and also got credit for a FW-190 on wich I placed one or two rounds because I was the last one alive to shoot it when it went down somewhere. I landed my plane without damage. 3 pilots in my squadron where killed 1 is missing.

- 3rd Mission: I shot down a Bf-110, then glided my engineless plane 40km back to my base and ditched in the harbor because my wheels wouldn't come down. 4 squadron mates where killed 1 went missing.

- 4th Mission: I didn't get any kills but i managed to glide my engienless plane 30km back to the runway and land even thou i was wounded. My squadon was once again wiped out with 3 pilots killed and 4 missing. (We lost 19 planes, the enemy lost 5)

- 5th Mission: I'll have to refly because I had a midair with a Bf-109, but at the time of my death my side had already lost 9 planes in trade for only 4 enemy planes (including me and the 109 I rammed).

Am I doing it wrong? Is it just bad luck? Is it really supposed to be like this? I think if the Allies had actually lost 3 planes to every plane the Germans where losing the war would have gone a different way.
