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".

 

Liberate the Kuban is a 19-mission single player scripted campaign in which the Player will fly the IL-2 model 1942 Sturmovik on the Kuban map.  Missions are from February - March 1943.  The time period is during the great German retreat from the Caucasus and the Kuban River region to their new defenses on the Blue Line.  Inspiration for the missions are from actual battles.  Follow the path of the 4th Air Army Sturmoviks from Ust-Labinskaya to Temryuk as the Soviet pilots help to liberate the Kuban!

 

*Notes:  

*I recommend using the MOD-Kuban-Winter-Map for the first eight missions, found here:

RELEASE OF 0.2  https://www.mediafire.com/file/5heeo1vx1i119y7/KUBAN_0.2.7z/file

(the mod map is not necessary - if you don't have it then you will have the Kuban-Fall map.

*A mission is completed when the player lands back at his home airfield.  So, even if targets are not destroyed, if you make it back alive, then you have accomplished the mission!  If target objectives are completed then it is not necessary to make a landing.

*All missions start on the runway with engine running with the exception of the last mission which is "Airstart".

*Must have Battle of Kuban.

*Mission descriptions are in English-only, sorry.

Okay, there has been a lot of off-topic discussion in this thread.

I've moved the discussion around translating campaigns and using the mission editor here:
