The freeware mission set for a German fighter pilot, Ruff-Missions BoB JG-2, is now ready for download at Simviation along with 5 of the 6 planes needed (#6 is the PD Spitfire IA at 46th Irish).
I will just post part of the BoB JG-2 read me.

                             Battle of Britain German Fighter Pilot mission set by Wulfmann.
                                        Flight models by Spitfrnd. Skins by Foute man.


Welcome to the English Channel and our air war with the British. You will fly your Messerschmitt 109E-4 against the RAF fighters, the Hurricane and the Spitfire.

Here is a Battle of Britain (BoB) mission set for a German fighter pilot flying the modified Aviation Heaven Me-
109E-4. You will need two versions for this aircraft listed below.
To say it would have been impossible to make these without the help of Bill "Spitfrnd" Wilson is a gross
understatement. Bill made a new flight model for the 109 (with Aviation Heaven permission, thanks Mike) then made a new flight model for the Ju-88A-4 and then did a new FM for the Hurricane. This was more than even appears as we constantly tested and tweaked the planes to get them as close to real as is possible. (Bill did the work; I did the nagging) You will notice things like, the Emil has 120 rounds of 20MM ammo. This is what they really had, not 150. Because we don't have the He-111 yet, we did a level bomber version of the Ju-88 A-4 to be able to fly the big London raids without dive bomb attacks. (Again Bill did the work!)
I spent many additional hours researching the actual battles and most are a crude example of real engagements.
Some liberties had to be taken, as we don't have a Stuka, Do-17 or He-111. We tried to follow the way the RAF carefully engaged their fighters as needed to preserve them and you will notice the German fighter to bomber ratio increases as the battle progresses.
It would be impossible with what is presently available to duplicate the battle, but this will give the player a good idea of how tough fighting the RAF was. That is, I hope so, as it is the most difficult and challenging missions I have done to date.
A few sorties are made up. Attacking the Norfolk in the Thames never happened, but is not impossible and I had to make more use of this beautiful ship. The early naval battle is a twist on the Koln returning from her operation in Norway when a British cruiser squadron missed intercepting her. This time they make contact and you get involved. Most others are based on real events contoured to fit our limitations.

Foute Man offered and we gladly accepted his offer to paint correct skins for the missions. We have you moving from one Staffel to another and back so we can fly the different paint schemes of JG-2. Different skins were considered and the ones not used will be available in the new flight model versions of the bf-109.
Thanks Foute Man, they are great.

This modified plane is not supported by Aviation Heaven. They did not do the flight model and paint and can offer no support for it, so don't bother them. Bother me at photobobruff@netzero.net . We are grateful they allowed us to make modifications, as we wanted, to update this plane to make it competitive with the Didier Patrick RAF fighters.

Greg Law did the HMS Norfolk and that can be found at Ground Crew. She is a beautiful cruiser, thanks, Greg.
You will also need the German cruiser Koln from Ground Crew, another fine ship from Greg Law.
Dan Swart was kind enough to repaint the Ju-88A-4 in BoB colors, thanks Dan.
Thanks to Irish 46th for permission to use the PD Spitfire. You can download that at: http://46th-designs.com/


You will need these airplanes, all correct BoB era, to fly this mission set:
Fm_bf_109e_41
Fm_bf_109e_40
Ju88a4_k51_LB
Ju88a4_Kamp51
PD_SF_Hurricane 79sqdrn
PD_Spitfire1A  (download from http://46th-designs.com/ ;  Thanks Irish.

All but the Spitfire are available to download from SimOuthouse, Netwings and Simviation. They can be extracted from the zip files directly to the Aircraft folder of Combat Flight Simulator3. That is all that is required for the planes to work. Look at the read me files for each plane.
