Hey Duggy, got the cd this morning, loaded onto my machine with a guess at what I should be doing, found the missions in pilot career etc but on loading the first mission it is overwritten by the IL2 manager but I can still fly the mission but on the load screen it crashes out with `load error Landscape 'crimea/load.ini' error
Any ideas to get round this? Help!! was really looking forward to this..!

I checked the bonus missions, I can do the USAAF, RAF and Stalingrad one but not the main campaign

Not sure mate, were all your mods switched off in JSGME, before installing ??

I had all the DBW ones running. I might try a fresh install just for the addon. I am sure I have one backed up.
Will it work on 4.12. Worth a try

I hope you bought the correct version ?
As there were two competing companies in Germany back then, that released very similar products.
I have most of them but what I am flying is this.

Keep me updated please, so I can help.
Anyway 2 weeks Holidays just shot by.
So this mornings escapades.

I love the 109K.

Defending the Elbe.

My first TU-2.

I'll check the link mate and let ya know
I typed in der luftkrieg etc and it popped up straight away

Its the same version.
So it has to be a compatibility, problem.
So you say you use 4.12 ?????
I do not!
Hope this helps

I installed it on DBW,
trouble is dabbling with mods etc the directories get pretty full, so maybe trying it on a dedicated cleaner install is the way to test it.
I was going to try it on 4.12 and see if it worked. my 4.12 has modact added to it

Ok, success. I uninstalled it from my DBW version, copied a clean 4.12.2 with moddact 5.11 to a new location, loaded Der Luftkrieg into that directory and it runs sweet!
That's a relief, would have been unhappy to have wasted that cash!!
