CzechTexan Posted November 30, 2025 Posted November 30, 2025 (edited) WINTER WONDERLAND MISSIONS updated 02-23-2004 DOWNLOAD: https://www.mediafire.com/file/yp5ldrepm4tfqz5/WinterWonderland_022324.zip/file (Due to a map/tree problem, apparently caused by the 5.202 update, this is a new download link with fixed missions 2-23-2024) Winter Wonderland (zimnyaya skazka) is a 12-mission single player scripted campaign in which the Player will fly the LaGG-3 on the Velikie Luki Winter map. Missions are from January 17 - January 22, 1942. The time period is during the Toropets - Kholm Offensive which began on January 9, 1942. The Soviet 4 SAD, the air division assigned to support the 4th Shock Army, consisted of only LaGG-3, I-15bis, and U2vs aircraft. ***Notes: *At this time, we do not have an early-version-LaGG-3, such as the series 8 or 11 which was historically used during this time period, so, the later version-series 29, which became available in June 1942 is used instead. *A mission is successful when the player destroys a target on a mission. So, if a target is destroyed, it is not necessary to make a landing at the home airfield. However, You have the option to land, refuel, and re-arm to takeoff again to destroy more targets. *For the first nine missions you must taxi-to-the-runway on a frozen lake. (You may use the autopilot (Shift+A) to taxi and takeoff). The last three missions start on the runway with engine running. *Missions have short flight times. *Mission descriptions are in English-only, sorry. *Book cited: Black Cross Red Star volume 2 by Christer Bergstrom. Enjoy!--created by CzechTexan Note for future Sim updates: Whenever Great Battles is updated, mission files get broken and must be updated, again and again, rendering them unplayable. In order to fix the missions, open the IL-2 Sturmovik Mission Editor... in the TOOLS dropdown list, choose "Resave All Missions in Folder" and navigate to the Campaigns and/or Missions folder in your computer (IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles/data/Campaigns) and click "OK". Here are a couple of nice winter skins made by KOHTYP: https://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/2704-скины-для-общего-пользования-лагг-3-29-серия/?do=findComment&comment=364879 https://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/2704-скины-для-общего-пользования-лагг-3-29-серия/?do=findComment&comment=269070 "Death to Fascists" and "To the Front from the Siberians" Overhead views of the ice-lake-airfield... Takeoff and Landing to the northwest (for the first 3 or 4 missions)... Takeoff and Landing to the southeast... Map of the Toropets-Kholm Offensive from Maps (armchairgeneral.com) I wanted to do something on the Velikie Luki Winter map and for the LaGG and so I found the Toropets-Kholm Offensive. But there were no airfields to use in the upper right corner of the map, so, I got the idea to use the frozen lake as a hidden forward airfield. This map, to me, is like a winter wonderland and that's how I got the title. Edited November 30, 2025 by CzechTexan 1 Quote
sandmarken Posted November 30, 2025 Posted November 30, 2025 Woud probably the Lagg-3 serie 4 be a better fit for this campaign? I need a good reason to fly that plane 😁 Quote
