I completely agree with dpeters. Not getting credit of planes you shot down is painful (although it could be rather common for real pilots in WWI - I remember the Blue Max film, in which a fictional pilot spent a day looking for a plane he shot down and finally he wasn't credited for it). I could stand it if it was because no one else saw the plane going down. But it is a real immersion killer to see a plane bouncing over the ground as if it was on the Moon.

Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to make any improvement on the issue. I can only make suggestions: did anyone played the old Red Baron II simulator? Of course IL-2 is MUCH better, but flying Red Baron you could experience an absolute feeling of weakness: a sharp turn could break your wings away (especially the low wings of older Nieuports). If you didn't want to hear your plane cracking you had to perform extremely gentle turns. I don't know if it was very realistic, but flying those planes was VERY SCARY.

Just as a suggestion to anyone who can do that: what about making WWI planes (especially the oldest ones) much weaker? Probably they would break down more easily when colliding to the ground. Probably it would be easier to shot down planes (at the moment sometimes it is really hard to shot down a plane, even using all your rounds on a single one). And finally, the feeling of helplessness in those beautiful but weak planes would make DOF a completely different experience to WAW and JTW. I think it could be in the spirit of CUP: one hundred years of flight evolution, and we have the luck to experience it!

Unpacked Part 1 into my Il-2 Directory, loading stops at 95% however. 

Any help?

Yes indeed any help - its a two way street, any logfile?

Occasionally, perhaps one or two missions in a campaign, my plan starts on the ground, jumps up about 20 meters, vertically. nose up, then flips over and crashes. No countermeasures I've tried have proven effective. Anyone else have this problem?

This happened with several of us when the campaign/mission sets were initially released. It has to do with the JSGME settings. Monty clarified this in the pdf manual he's added to the downloads for these campaigns. You can also find a discussion of the problem here:

See especially, on page 1 of the thread, my post of 23 September 2015.

JSGME Activate 'Forgotten Countries'

Amen Monty - The aforementioned Forgotten Countries solved a bunch of problems for me.  I never knew what it was but when I finally activated it I was amazed.

Nice DOF Update on the way very shortly...

Go in the Il-2 selector and go to game type menu and make
 sure its trying to run correct version you have and not something you don't.
I don't know how else to explain it.
Worked for me when I crashed at 95%

@Würger - Logfile is preferrable to a smiley - get yourself logged and we can all stop the guesswork.

a little bit of researching and looking (AND READING) would have brought up the link I have posted above!
that´s why we have a Tech Help Forum here!

February 2016 -

OK - There we go.  27 NEW CAMPAIGNS!  Everything is updated for Dawn of Flight Part-11.  Throw away your old stuff, there are four BRAND NEW downloads for these.

The first three parts each comprise nine campaigns.  There is also a new DoF Supplement detailing the new features.  These campaigns are all 412 C.U.P. with 412 Command and Control alongside other advanced addons.  They will not work on earlier versions of Il2 that are just too old and out-of-date to do this stuff...



To be continued...
