I thought I'd start this thread in an effort to see what we've all got between us in the way of BoX coops so far.
I've been hosting these made by Tx_Tips
TipsCoOPs Pack One Updated.zip
TipsCoOPs Pack Two Updated.zip
These are fairly straightforward missions with er...brief briefings but some planes have an airstart option. TipsCoOPs Pack One Updated.zip
They contain Stalingrad and Moscow maps and plane sets.
I've also got these made by SYN_Vander which are in effect a mini campaign for the Kuban map.

With the exception of mission #4 they all contain at least one type of aircraft from the BoS planeset. They also come with a full brief and mission map.
The BoX coop system seems to work very well - once you've got your ports sorted.. I've made a video and posted it in the rough and ready guide about hosting coops but briefly; download these into
C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Multiplayer\Cooperative
start the game in online mode, click on multiplayer, select coops and then click on create server. You should then see and be able to select these missions in your coop folder. When you launch the mission you are actually putting a coop up but you will be able to fly these missions on your own.
I wonder if this is a way for those Dogz who only have Battle of Stalingrad to have a play on the Kuban and Moscow maps at their leisure? In theory this should work as the game is being launched in multiplayer mode where all maps are available?
What we really need to be able to do is edit these coops in the mission editor and replace the Kuban planes with Stalingrad planes so we can have as many Dogz participating as possible. I know this is doable using the editor, I'm just a bit stumped as to how at present
Also; linky to section of the BoS forum where these - and others - are being posted

Any other coops people have - especially those succesfully generated using the campaign system or PWCG - please don't hesitate to post them here
