Hi guys!

A new version of my campaign "Pacific War" has been released, it features mainly an IJAAF career for 64th Sentai, also known as “Kato Sentai” for having been led by the famous ace, until his death and an IJNAF career belonging to air crew of Zuikaku (“Fortunate Crane” in Japanese), later becoming 601st Kokutai. Also, you may play for RAF (*Far East: Burma, 1942-’44), USAAF (*Flying Tigers: Burma, 1942-’43), and RAAF (*Whispering Death: New Guinea, 1942-’43).


In this version 2.01 campaign has been further simplified, in respect to latest versions, improving historical accuracy. Also introducing a “last phase” in Burma IJAAF campaign. Special care has been given to aces, so may happen you'll fight Tateo Kato in its own Hayabusa, marked by wing leader's bands...


or indian ace Arjan Singh, whose Hurricane IIC sports the typical gray livery of IAF.


I thoroughly revised all skins, trying to keep them historically accurate.

It also features the new Ki-51 "Sonia" and Vultee Vengeance.

Be aware it requires the good old UP2.01 on top of version 4.09 of IL-2 1946 to work, plus nine additional planes that you must install separately. Required Asura's DGen is included and must be installed and removed with the whole campaign pack strictly according to instruction, otherwise your game will crash soon or later.

Enjoy!

Thanks for this update, Greybeard!

I'd like to give it a try, but I have 4.10/DBW1.71 and 4.12.1m/ModAct5.22 versions installed and running. Which would be best to run Pacific War on. With either will I need the 409_buttons and DiffFM_409? Will I need to add all the planes? I often have trouble with adding planes - I bat about 50% on getting them to work. I always get confused on what to do with something written for different mod versions.

Thanks!

Sorry, it is mandatory to have 4.09+UP2.01; any different set will crash your game.

I wrote in Readme a list of required planes for very experienced users which may have already a wide set of planes including those required by this campaign (or missing just a few of them, that they can easily install). They should have for sure also suited Diff_FM, so could get a custom arrangement to play my campaign anyway. Since you state to have problems with this procedure, I highly recommend not even to start.

There are other campaigns of mine at M4T, some just requiring "vanilla" IL-2 1946, in versions from 4.09 onward: you can play them also on your 4.10/DBW1.71 and 4.12.1m/ModAct5.22 sets.

I'm attaching related links. Following two require included Asura's DGen (please install and remove according instruction):

East Africa (SAAF Hurricane in Somaliland)

La campagna di Russia (Italian fighter in Russia)

following one does not require anything else but can be played only on your 4.12.1m/ModAct5.22 set:

Africa settentrionale (Italian fighter in North Africa)

Have fun!
