Ground Units by MajorMagee:

AI - New WW1 Infantry Rev 2

The intention of this Mod package is to create a mod with new AI Infantry variations (Austrian, French, and Romanian) that expand what's available for Mission Builders to select from.

DetachentAus5
DetachmentFrn5
DetachmentRom5

These are created from the existing US Infantry (Aus and Rom) or UK (Frn) Squads, so unfortunately the helmets and equipment are not modelled properly. The French helmets have been reshaped into the Adrian style by masking edits in the alpha layer.

***The detachment sit and run versions are used for the AI in the game as the troopers get killed, but should not be selected in the STEditor.***

There are 5 new AI Artillery pieces provided with crews dressed in French uniforms (versus the original WW1 British crews).

French75fr
Hotchkissmle14fr
Hotchkissmle14fr-aa
QF13pdr6cwtfr
QF45infr

I've also included the original British units with their character's specular reflection reduced from 7F to 50 hex.

French75
Hotchkissmle14-aa
QF13pdr6cwt
QF45in

There are six new AI Vehicles provided with crews dressed in French uniforms (versus the original WW1 British crews).

Crossleyt5FR
QuadFR
QuadFR-ambulance
QuadFR-searchlight
QuadFR-winch
Thorny13pdrFR-aa

I've also included the original British units with their character's specular reflection reduced from 7F to 50 hex.

As I understand, you can create and play single missions via the Easy Mission Generator.

It would be great if it could somehow be incorporated to PWCGFC.

The Mod itself is independent, it is just available in IL-2.
I suppose the main Issue is that the Odessa Map is in general not in PWCG added.
I had one time a similar idea and created a EMG mission with the same mission name of the mission defined in PWCG but it was not possible to read in the results in PWCG because the whole data structure of the EMG mission is totally different to PWCG.
In theory the tasks are:

-The Odessa MAp has to be integrated in PWGC (I suppose only Pat can do this)
-Someone has to define the frontline (maybe possible)
-Squadrons to be changed to the theatre of war.
-The modified ground units (they are real new units, copied by MajorMagee) have to be considered in PWCG.
-The plane skins have to be considered, this could be possible...

I know that PWCG is great, but it is extremely complex and many settings are coded, simply not accessable... 

By the way, EMG by Vander is suitable to create interesting semi historical campaign missions.
I have created already 3 campaigns with EMG and in my current campaign I have released already 4 parts, I will complete PArt5 soon and there will be ca. 110 missions until end of Siege of Odessa.

And you can start to fly the campaign directly after the first mission is completed, each mission step by step directly flown after creation...
And with the many random parameters the missions are even for the creator interesting...

My intention is always to enable the pilots to create their own missions and campaigns  that fit to their personal ideas and requirements...
