I’ve seen you may be able to modify Illy-2/Forgotten Battles so you can get Battle of Britain type missions and aircraft. What do I need and how do I got about it?
Any news on the official BoB release from the Illy-2 author?

Well for starters, You need Forgotten Battles, Aces Expansion which adds a variety of western aircraft, Pacific Fighters has more american,british and japanese aircraft along with carrier ops and more objects and of course pacific themed maps. Then there is another add on the Pe-2 Peshka expansion(adds russian tactical bomber pe-2 variants and various eastern maps and objects).
Then just announced at the Il-2/PF mainpage there is a new addon coming titled 1946 32 new flyable aircraft (probably the last pay add on), an unhistorical add on but with historical planes which features the IL-10,Mig-9,Ar-234 the weird Hs-132. Maps include Manchuria and Keiv so far, perhaps a Norway one aswell.
As for Bob, you can create or download scenarios simliar, however the map templates will be unhistorical as so far the western most map is Caen. No British Isles yet. Its really the aircraft and objects that make up for this. If you want authentic Bob setting, best wait for the new game which may come out next year or later.
