Darwin 1942 Campaign Released

On 19 February 1942, under the protective umbrella of a carrier strike force, the Japanese struck Australia near the port of Darwin. The historical raid consisted of two strikes (one sea-based and one land-based). Though the raids caused widespread fear that Australia itself might be invaded, no invasion was launched...until now....

457 Squadron’s "Defence of Darwin 1942" DCG Campaign version 1.00 is a third party Il2DCG add-on campaign for Il2DCG Version 3.39 (or later), to be used in DGen and NGen Full Replacement-Auto mode in single and/or on-line game-play.

Required: "IL-2 1946" version 4.09bm1 "patched and AAA modded" version as well as Neil Lowe’s Darwin map. For full requirements see the "ReadMe" in the download.

Note: this third party campaign is not supported by Lowengrin.com but by No457_Stonehouse at no457.com.

Rise of Flight Beta Announced

It was announced on March 31, 2009, that Rise of Flight was starting closed beta testing. This testing is to be open to a total of five members of active squadrons with at least a year's history on the Web. Further details are on the Rise of Flight Blog. Finally, after years of speculation and (some) doubt, it appears the release of this game is near and that Jagdgeschwader 1 will fly again.

The Battle of Gazala 1942 by PVI_Eagle

The battle was fought around Tobruk with the Italians launching a frontal attack on British positions on May 26th. The next day, Rommel launched his panzers in a flanking manoeuvre south of the fortified "box" at Bir Hacheim. The Battle of Gazala had begun....

This dynamic campaign is based on the desert map of "IL-2 1946" 4.08m and was adapted by PVI_Eagle to represent the Libyan scenery of Cyrenaica in 1942.

Hannut, Belguim 1940 Campaign Released

Belgium, 10 May 1940: Blitzkrieg! Germany attacks Belgium. Attempts to remain neutral find Belgium forces ill-prepared to counter Wehrmacht "lightning war" tactics. French Calvary Corp armor is finally allowed to cross Belgium borders, but will only commit as far as Hannut, & then only to fight a delaying battle that will allow defenses to be prepared at Gembloux. The French Armee de l'Air & the British RAF Advance Air Striking Force immediately join the battle, but experienced & well equipped Luftwaffe pilots have already secured air supremacy & are striking hard at all Belgium Aeronautique Militaire air bases.

In this campaign created by soda, fly as French, German or British.

Good to hear you got it fixed.

Kapteeni on 29 Jun : 08:24

Problem solved!
Zipped3.41 file was corrupted

Kapteeni on 27 Jun : 11:58

Sorry about typos, i'm at train with my bloody ASUS laptop!

Kapteeni on 27 Jun : 11:56

II deleted my 3.41 folder before
moved back to 3.40 .There was also this weird thing that i always had to reboot before i could start 3.41 again . I think i DL 3.41 and try that again. Maybe my 3.41 sas corrupted. Btw i have made several maps and some of them are based to excistind DF map, just for DCG compability reasons. DCG is the best mission/campaign generator.

Lowengrin on 27 Jun : 10:51

You aren't having more than one instance of DCG running at a time, are you?

Kapteeni on 27 Jun : 00:08

I have the same prob than Tally. I'm using 3.40 version without any problems though!My 3.41 works sometimes. and suddenly it stops to work

Lowengrin on 25 Jun : 19:40

I'd start with DCG but not the whole game - although if (for some bizarre reason) the mission folder/subfolders are read only, you should fix that.

Tallyho on 25 Jun : 15:57

Paul,
Still having problems re I/O error 1224 message when playing IL21946 with latest DCG. I set the files to off Read Only like you suggested but I`m still getting system Lock-Ups .
Would you recommend a complete reinstall of the game and the DCG?
Thanks

Lowengrin on 20 Jun : 11:39

Yes, I think the 1946 version includes USAAF and RAF. If not, see where you can get the RAF from the article pages above.

Davis0079 on 18 Jun : 16:57

Ah, I see. I figured as much, I'm just use to the stock dgen and its promotion system. Your dcg is one of the greatest additions to IL-2 I have yet to find. Also, if I dont have the paid addons for BOE and the others, can I still play the usaaf and raf camp. with the 1946 disc.
