OK, got the first four SYN_Vander coops converted to BoS aircraft and yeah, I see what you mean FT. All laid out nice and neatly. I've also converted some of TX_Tips missions and I've changed the date on one of them so it should run the summer map. Also changed the 'supporting' aircraft that appear later on in some of these missions. These are flown by the a.i. only. Fingers VERY crossed. Wouldn't mind trying some of these out tomorrow night since it's a Bank holiday weekend over here.

If you've got Battle of Bodenplatte early access and fancy flying your Spitfire mk. XI in something a bit more involved than the QMB can provide - and you've got the Kuban map - then Mr. Jade_Monkey over on the BoS forum has reworked his excellent "Defence of Taupse docks" mission to add the mk. IX Download the zip file and open it's contents into your Data/Missions file. Fighter - Spitfire Mk. IX - Tuapse docks defense.zip

Skye? More to follow? Oh yes please Dave!

Vander's now made eight coops which gives us in effect a mini campaign. If we change the single-seaters present to aircraft from the Battle of Stalingrad plane set we all get the chance to fly on the Kuban map. At our present level of crash, burn and twenty seconds at take off this alone should give us around two months worth of coops without repeating anything! Have you tried to alter any of TX_Tips coop missions FT? They can be found here; https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/33301-tx_tips-dogfight-coops-and-teamplay/ As to missions from the generator; these missions are being originally generated by the games campaign system which is for single player. I'm pretty sure these can be saved and edited - I'll have a look around and see what I can find out about it. I seem to recall something along the lines of these missions having to be saved or renamed in the editor first which gives them the .mission extension file which means they can then be reloaded into the mission editor and opened. I think............ Doing all this stuff simply and on the fly like Oleg had it? Those were the days.............................

They've really gone to town on all the gubbins for the gyro gunsight

Aha!!!! Exactly what we've been looking for. Nice one Crash.

From last nights coops;

Mitchells will be in initial Bodenplatte release as a.i. only. The expectation is that a full, flyable release will follow in the not too distant future. Big modelling and coding job though - they'll be making what amounts to three cockpits for one aircraft.

This is gonna be one big mother of a map..... https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/168-developer-diary/?page=5&tab=comments#comment-618203 Will we be able to fly over FT?

Hi again Roberts, good to see you here. I agree with FT, BoX likes as fast a cpu as possible. Something over 4Ghz is best. 1060 is a good card if you get the version with 6gig of vram.

Blenheim gets its first airing of the year.

IL2 I had a lot of fun with that one too

Good news; coop I generated earlier using this http://il2-expert.ru/en/Coop. They've developed a mode with this generator that allows creation of coops where human players can now fly for either side instead of just against the A.I. At last, a proper coop generator that any old fool - that'll be me - can use!!!

I'm waiting for a sale to scoop up the Harrier but now I'm thinking about the last time I rode a horse!

I'm not sure if it will be too much of a problem as everyone will be able to fly the maps. We've just got to make sure we have at least some aircraft from the Battle of Stalingrad plane set available in each coop. Also, I think there must now be at least ten dogz who have the whole series. This actually gives us all more choice as there is less 'pressure' to jump in a BoS plane when others are available. Uh-Oh, we're going to have to look in the mission editor now☢️

Volume was not a problem Crash. It just sounded like you were stuck in the karzi

The hostess with the toastess?

I host with mods on. When it comes to IL2 BoX, forget about everything you understand about mods in IL2 1946. It's a totally different way of doing things.

If you are the host and you don't own the aircraft then.........

From later on this evening; Sid and Fenrir's Stuka party

Well hellooooooo..............

I mean seriously, nothing happens in a town where 68% of the population are over sixty-five but yesterday afternoon........................ Normal dangers on Jacob's Ladder beach are Jelly fish, hypothermia and being shat on by a Sea Gull. Now we can add aeroplanes landing on yer' head https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/plane-made-incredible-emergency-landing-1539390

Set out this morning at seven-thirty. Just got back home after scooping up son #2 from Uni. @ Brighton. Traffic was . How do you guys put up with it?

Hello young Smash! Good to see you here again 'Fraid you're always gonna be 'young smash' as we're still a bunch of old farts....we just got even older....
