Single mission Pics
Something simple and easy to customise your single missions with an ingame screeny you grab yourself or something a bit more historical , or who knows a hot pic of your missus for inspiration to make it home.
Firts things first , your pic you are going to use must be an 800x600 jpg.You can use something as basic as mspaint to resize your picss or just crop them.I use photoscape for basic stuff (free download) as it has a heap of filters for aging,sepia,b and w , antique etc and will resize as well.
Your default Clod install should be here..
C:\Users\your name\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover
So once you have that open click on Missions , i have two and have to open the second one to get to the single mission files as seen above.

This is the next folder
This contains all of the single mission files that shipped with the game plus the ones you make in the FMB , the highlighted file is the mission i made in the FMB that i need to open to insert the text to direct it to the picture i want to use..
Once i open the file i see this.
The highlighted lines under <slide> are the ones you need to change.Simply name them exactly what the name of your pic file is , in my case Flite.jpg, you can also change the briefing text here if you have not already done so in the FMB.
Save the mission file and close but stay in that folder as this is also where you put your picture

Simply drag and drop or copy and paste your picture (named correctly of course) into the folder.
Now next time when you go to single missions and select the mission you made you should see your picture.
If you do not see your pic then either, you have named it wrong in the file as to what the picture is actually called or it has been resized to 800 by 600 or lastly it is not a jpg file.
