American Knights: The Cowboy Way

This campaign was made with Il-2 1946, 4.10.1 #DBW 1916.

I can't verify if this campaign will work with anything else (but I wouldn't count on it).

This is a 16-mission, historical campaign, in which you will fly with the US 103rd Aero Squadron, the descendant of the "Escadrille Lafayette."

This campaign runs from March to November, 1918.

You will fly the the Spad VII and Spad XIII

'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky!

In my campaigns, always start with the highest rank available.  You will thus have command of your squadron in the air in all missions, allowing you to order individual flights to attack specific targets.

I...fall...to pieces...

Occasionally, there is other air activity, and sometimes ground activity, going on during these missions.  This is for the sake of immersion, a little reminder that there is more to this war than just you.  Cycle through the cameras if you want to see what else is going on.

'Cause I've got friends in low places...

Air-to-air missions make up the entirety of this campaign, as this would accurately reflect the missions of the real-life 103rd Aero Squadron.

Falling...away from me...

I tried to make this campaign work with BAT_DOF.

But it got stuck in the infantry section.

BAT_DOF only have the infantry objects with Battlefront 2.0

If the entire file related to 'WW1 Columns for DBW' is provided, it is believed that this campaign will also work in BAT_DOF (but, of course, only if CTD does not occur).

And if the entire file related to 'WW1 Columns for DBW' is provided, it is thought that many of DBW's campaigns can be applied to BAT mod more easily.

If someone ask me to switch to the appropriate columns provided by BAT_DOF, I will have no choice but to follow it.

However, I want to respect the original design of the campaign maker as much as possible.

Thank you.

If you want to modify this for BAT DOF, go ahead.  Have fun.  Stay cool.

Had to make a minor modification.  New download link.  Stay cool.

I haven't seen a WWI campaign for a long time. It will be interesting to fly.
Not all links to skins work.

Я давно не видел кампании Первой мировой войны. Будет интересно полетать.
Не все ссылки на скины работают.

All needed skins are included.  Got what I needed to build this (and damn, if you weren't a huge part of that, and I thank you).

Stay cool.

Thank you for your work! I'm resting and not drawing anything for now. Eyes hurt.

Спасибо вам за вашу работу! Я сейчас отдыхаю и ничего не рисую. Болят глаза.
