I downloaded campaign and installed. About 2 seconds after mission #1 commenced, the game froze. Solution was to restore button previous to 10.1.

Thanks, this was my first campaign, the new version makes much more sense. Beau with rear gunner, better map, better ground objects, revised planeset with improved skins, easier missions which are more ground and sea attack oriented and usually you got fighter escort.

Hi VP Sorry to say I'm having problems - first mission starts in air in Beau with engines off over the carrier, second mission I'm in air in hurri, third mission P40..

DBW 1.71 Full Monty, takeoff & landing selected

Any ideas? it looks fantastic though!! Quite enjoyed the P40  8)

Thanks in advance, Martin

You need to select the highest rank to play as the campaigns info.properties says....sorry but this is how IL-2 works.
Engines off=game bug(?), not really related to the campaign. I dont have the Full Monty packs so I didnt do a test with it.

Hi yes you are right, I ignored your instructions and started with a lower rank. I now have the Beaufighter thanks. I agree engines off nothing to do with missions. If I fix it I'll post how.

Thanks for your help

Regards,

Martin

I've read something about engine problems on startup long time ago, iirc simply restarting the mission will fix it.

Unfortunately it's repeatable and I think the start of mission 1 should be on the carrier deck anyway?

Just played -- no, experienced -- the first mission.  One of the most action packed and cinematic I have ever seen.

Are they all that good????

Well done mate!
