dougandtoni,
When you click-on the link to 'Airwarfare.com' above you will see I have detailed where to put the missions and briefings. You will have to register to download with 'Airwarfare.com' which will be the main site for future COD Storm of War downloads, the same as their previous site, 'Mission 4 today' still is for Il-2 1946.

PS remember this is not an official campaign, it is a series of missions you fly sequentially to make a campaign. The Il-2 COD team will start turning on more campaign making features progressively, as they start sorting out some the current game issues.

Hi dflion

I downloaded your missions last night, but I noticed that there was no briefing. (?)
I started in the Tiger Moth, took off, but had no idea as to what to do.

I installed the missions just like I have others, so I don't think I did anything wrong, so can you advise please?

To see the briefings on the 'Spitfire Dawn' (campaign)
1. Click on 'Single Player'
2. Click on 'Single Mission'
3. Click on mission i.e 'Tigermoth_training_01.mis
4. Then click on 'Custom' and you will see the briefing
5. Then click on 'Fly'

Luthier probably needs to change this extra step - clicking on 'Custom'? - he may have done it in ver. 1.01.14550

I downloaded and installed the mission AND BRIEFING files as described at the host site. Fired up IL-2 and there they were. Tried out a couple of the Tiger Moth training missions. Briefing info was well written I thought. Nice to have a couple AI in air near you too. Found I did much better without the jerk trainer yelling nonsense at me and diving at the runway. The Tiger Moth is certainly a beast to taxi. Took a bit of wingtip off during first landing but instructor and I survived.

All in all seem to be a nice set of mission files. Thanks

Edit: I just discovered that I could put missions into unique folders in the missions\single\ folder and the Folder Name will show up nicely in IL-2. Nice. Helps keep things neat and organized

I am just puting the finishing touches to an update to Spitfire Dawn using all the FMB tools that Ilya finally switched on in his last release.
Just about all missions have trigger points now that make each mission more exciting and realistic - 'watch out for the Hun in the Sun'.
I am also trying to get the scripting working better which will give you controller radar calls on enemy aircraft and better mission progression.
I like the new sound profile of the Spitfire now, it is vastly improved. I have also added new skins for all German aircraft which are now more historically realistic.
Just about all missions start from an airfield taxi point, though at some stage you have to put the aircraft on autopilot to sync the scripting (some sort of scripting bug).
I am also working on an update to JG26 which will have trigger points on all missions plus some new missions.
I was very saddened when IL2 'pulled the plug' on COD. Admittedly I have a high end computer rig and everything works fine at the high end of realism for me. I think COD is the best WWII flight sim to date. I am hoping that the new IL2/Studio777 will salvage many of the aircraft/vehicle/ship/train/building and artillery from COD and hopefully develop another Channel Map for their new game engine?
