So at least one of your excellent SCW campaigns must be close, yes?   

I have heard rumors that there will be a special module for the inter-war years, and then ALL my SCW campaigns will be available!

You've made my day!!!!!

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?

Hi Kevin,

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!

[KevinHoggard]

No I did not, thank you for the info.

I'm new to this and am in the process of learning

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!

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.

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.

Hi Ol' Navy, Yes - the changes are minor but they're definitely there on my version. The most obvious difference is the pilot who should look like a proper Battle of Britain pilot rather than the generic Il2 chappie. There are other differences around the cockpit and mirror (my old CUP version had a round reflective patch on the 'hinge' of the mirror which looked wrong but now it's corrected). It might not be worth the hassle for some but try it and see. Don't forget to download the pilot correction also on the same page.

Hmmm I'm miffed    So I placed a folder into the missions/campaigns/GB/Fighterboys  - copied all the files, pasted all the CUP .mis & .properities files (along with the other files .ini ect) still not getting it to even show up. Should I disable MissionPro? I noticed that RAF/NZAF ect stock campaigns are also not there. Do have Germany, USA haven't really checked the rest.

[SAS~Poltava]

Try and do that, even though I haven't heard of MissionPro having THAT effect.

Over at M4T CrokerHam posted a campaign titled Arnhem and Antwerp.  This a British P51 campaign built for 4.12.2.  I decided to install it into my CUP installation and so far all is good.  I have flown 6 missions of the 27, might be worth a look.
