Campaign InformationThis campaign is based on events in the Italian invasion of British Somaliland in the Summer of 1940. In this remote area in the early stages of the war, both sides used aircraft that were heading toward obsolescence.
Though based on historical data, much of the gameplay is dynamic due to the nature of Lowengrin’s Dynamic Campaign Generator (DCG).
The following careers will be available:
British RAF Pilot
-Bristol Blenheim
-Hawker Hurricane
-Fairy Battle
-Gloucester Gladiator
Italian Regia Aeronautica Pilot
-Fiat CR 32 quater
-Fiat CR 42
-Caproni CA 133
Prerequisites & Compatibility
This campaign was written and tested using the SAS Community Universal Pack mod pack. For information, see:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,45222.0.html
You must have installed Lowengrin’s Dynamic Campaign Generator for IL-2 version 3.47 or later. To obtain DCG see the Lowengrin website:

Installation and Settings
• Decompress the EastAfrica.zip file and put the uncompressed EastAfrica folder into your DCG home directory.
• Make a backup of the DGEN directory in you IL-2 game directory.
• Copy the DGEN folder from the EastAfrica \DGEN directory and paste it to the main game folder. If prompted to overwrite files, click Yes.
• Start the DCG program. Select File?Optional Third Party Data Folder.
• Navigate to the EastAfrica folder and select allcampaigns.dcg.
• In the DCG main screen, select Mode ? Off Line Career (Full Auto-Generation Mode).
• Close DCG.
• Start your IL-2 game. Choose one of the Nation/Career options listed above under Campaign Information and slick Start.
• For best results, choose the squadron that is in the same ordinal position as the aircraft you select. For example, if you choose the second aircraft type in a list of three, choose the second squadron in the list as well. This will ensure that you receive the correct aircraft upgrades as they become available.
CompatibilitiesThis is a large and dynamic campaign;. I have done testing, but testing a campaign of this scope is near-impossible. If you encounter difficulties, please notify me; solutions are usually available once I know the nature of the problem. Exploding planes on startup are the most common issue; if you encounter this please let me know (this is a problem that can be fixed with relative ease). I have created new Payload assignment files for this campaign, but as noted above it is hard to test all possible combinations.
