This campaign is a training aid to help you learn how to takeoff and land from airfields, fleet carriers and escort carriers. This campaign will work with any version of Pacific Fighters after 4.01 and all versions of the merged game including IL-2 1946.

Straight From the Farm by Zeus-cat

This campaign is all about learning how to master takeoffs, landings and basic flight functions for several of the planes in the Pacific Fighters (and IL-2 1946) simulation. This campaign was developed using a Pacific Fighters 4.01 installation and will work with any version of Pacific Fighters after 4.01 and all versions of the merged game including IL-2 1946.

The missions start off with very easy objectives and then progress to more complicated ones. Most of the missions cover one basic concept and are very short in length; typically lasting no more than 2 or 3 minutes. The later missions are somewhat more complicated as they piece together things you have learned in the earlier missions.

The campaign assumes you are a typical pilot recruit of World War II and are straight off the farm and have little knowledge of flying. I include tips and advice as I step you through each mission. The tips are based on the way I “fly” and may not necessarily be the best way to do things. My intent is to show you how to takeoff and land so you can get started enjoying this simulation.

The missions are in a campaign format as I think it will help you feel you are making progress as you go from one mission to the next. The campaign format also allows you to easily replay the current mission if you feel you did not perform it well.

All 19 missions from the campaign are included in a separate folder as single missions. This folder also has 27 additional missions consisting of 14 practice landing missions for the A6M5, Corsair, D3A1, F4F, F6F, FM-2, Ki-43-Ic, SBD-3 and the Seafire; and 13 takeoff missions for the same aircraft.

The first 16 missions of the campaign use the SBD-3, which is a US Navy dive-bomber. It is very easy to fly compared to the high performance fighters that are in the game. Following those missions are three missions in the F4F-4 “Wildcat”. The F4F was the primary carrier-based fighter of the US Navy for the early years of World War II.

This is a semi historical, 12-mission campaign, set during the last stage of the Winter War, in January-March 1940. You are Finnish Fighter Pilot in the LeLv 26 flying the Gladiator. The Operations Area is the Gulf of Finland.

In november 1939, the Soviet Union attacked Finland, starting the so called Winter War. The Soviet expected a cake walk, but it was far from it. To the astonishment of an entire world and the anger of Stalin the Finns fought back, bringing the Soviet steamroller to a grinding halt, and inflicting heavy casualties on the Red Army and Airforce.

After regrouping, retraining and with heavily reinforced armies, the Soviets made another push in February 1940, eventually forcing Finland to sue for peace. Although the peace came at a heavy territorial price, Finland kept her independence.

This campaign tries to portray the final stage of the Winter War, as it was fought in the air. It starts in January, when the Finnish Fighters were busy fighting off a massive Soviet bombing offensive aimed at most of Finlands larger cities. Later on, as in reality, the Fighters are used during the desperate fighting on the Carelian Isthmus, giving support to the hard pressed troops.

In this Campaign you will find a variety of missions, from pure Bomber Intercept mission and Front patrol, to dramatic Low-level attacks on massive Soviet ground targets.

Any suggestions for J8A Winter skins with Finnish swastikas is welcomed. Will try and include it in later versions.
