Polenfeldzug 1939 / Kampania Polska 1939

For IL-2 1946 with BAT 4.2.2 with hotfix 4 and Asura’s DGenMOD 2.1

This is a complete campaign mod of my first campaign for IL-2 1946 and adapted for BAT 4.2.2 with hotfix 4 applied.
The original campaign thread is here:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,68673.0.html

My first intention was to make a normal DGen type of campaign, but then I switched my mind and turned for a more historic accurate one.
My goal was to include as many missions as possible, flying for a squadron at the correct time of day, to the correct target area and facing similar opposition. Because of lack of historic information those historic missions are mixed with "best guess" type of missions, where the target area is to a likely area, but with the date and time and opposition may not be historically correct.
I've been play testing the campaign since June, 2021 generating every campaign mission to find bugs, so it's thoroughly tested in VP Modpack.
The BAT adapted campaign has only been tested with a few missions for every squadron, so please let me know if you find any problems.

Campaign Information
The Invasion of Poland, also known as the September Campaign, Polenfeldzug or Fall Weiss. The German invasion began on September 1st 1939 and the Soviet Red Army's invasion of Eastern Poland started on September 17th. On October 6th, following the Polish defeat at the Battle of Kock, German and Soviet forces gained full control over Poland. 
This campaign was originally built in VP Modpack and 4.12.2m, and has now been adapted for BAT WAW.
In DGenMOD 2.1.0.0 allows you to more accurately reproduce the conditions for historical missions. This feature allows you to set up missions to specific target areas at a specified date & time and with specified weather. Transfer missions only allow for mission date and the new airfield, but it's not possible to specify time and weather.
All campaigns should have correct airfields and transfers and most of the missions are based on historical conditions.
The Polish air force often changed airfields, and all of them are not included in the campaign, only the important ones.
These planes are used in the campaign:
BF_109C1
BF_109D1
BF_109E1
BF_110C1
Do17Z_0
Do17Z_2
FI_156
FokkerFVIIB3m
HE_111H2
HS_123A1
HS_123B1
He45
JU_52_3MG4E
JU_87B1
PZL23B
PZL37B
P_11C
P_7
RWD_14
RWD_8
R_XIIID

Screenshots
This is screenshots taken in the original version so it's not with the latest terrain textures and in some of the screenshots are not the final skins used.













































Requirements
This dynamic (DGen) campaign includes Asura’s DGenMOD 2.1.0.0, required with all of its files as included. As a consequence, this is a standalone campaign: do not try to play it at same time with other DGen campaigns (you can play static campaigns, though).
Other versions of Asura’s DGenMOD, different from that contained in this pack will not work!
The following planes, maps and objects are included since they are missing in BAT 4.2.2 with hotfix 4:
He45
FokkerFVIIB3m
Poland_1939 Map update for Vpmedia retextured version
Polish Cavalry
Polish squadrons from 4.13.2
Stationary Planes

Minor additions for a early war campaign:
Grey skins for some German vehicles and guns.
RWD-8 replaced the default skin textures to the military version since the fusalage isn't skinnable.

Installation
Since this campaign does alter stock files, and replaces DGen.exe, some Asura’s files and BAT ini files with custom ones, it is highly recommended to install (and remove, when finished) by Jone Soft Generic Mod Enabler. So open the 7z-file and extract to your BATMODS folder in the IL-2 1946 main folder and activate through JSGME.
When done, opening menu to start a new career for Luftwaffe, you’ll see listed “Polenfeldzug 1939”. To play for Poland select "Polish Campaign 1939" (Kampania Polska 1939).

Also historic information that would make this campaign more accurate would be very welcome.

Thanks a lot mate!

Devloping and updating a DCampign is a very huge task!

My greates thanks for share it!

[Pirx]

Thank you, Per! A dynamic Polish campaign is something I've always wanted to see in our game. It's a lot of work, very painstaking, I know.

[Semor76]

Salute.

@vonOben

Campaign keeps crashing with all planes explode on the runway. I assume faulty loadouts?

I'm on BAT 4.2.2 with hotfix 4 & Asura’s DGenMOD 2.1

Maybe you can have a look?
