Carl Gould Cadet	posted 07-18- 07:37 PM Ive been messing with this thing, and while its pretty crude compared to the ones in janes sims, its ok, and i think i can understand it...exept for that duration deal. i experimented with the waypoints programming, skill level etc, but most of my german fighters just tool around and wind up crashing into mountains, making belly landings, and only a few attacked the B17s... once. id love to know how to use this. AND... can you add any textures to the pack planes? they are all in those funky data files.there isnt a texture file, is there? I still found it fun to be a gunner....i actually nailed an me-262.....yeee haaaa.sometimes i actually have the sound of the 50s firing. oh yeah, I saw this GIANT splash of water in a river... I thought a nuke had gone off...what the blazes was it? .....Carl IP: Logged
bomber Pilot	posted 07-18- 07:46 PM Mission editor is kinda quirky but quick and easy to use. If you want you fighters to attack a bomber just put them in the area set skill and aggression to max. Make sure the target box is big enough and they are close to the same elevation as the bomber and set the first and second boxes to enclose the route of the bomber with the fighters set to cap. The splash you saw was most likely a 109 hitting water. I think this will soon be corrected. If you have more questions catch me on cal 12 and bring the 5.3b plane pack with you. IP: Logged
Falck Pilot	posted 07-18- 07:48 PM Carl, Are the german fighters on CAP? theyll only attack an aircraft in on CAP and its within their patrol rectangle while on that leg of the mission. Sweep is for ground targets. The par files just contain a directory structure, sort of like a zip file. The heirarch goes like this: Files in folders override par files, and high par file numbers override lower par file numbers. So all you have to do is create the directory structure for the aicraft Fighter Squadron/media/aircraft/P51D/Textures/ and put the right file in there. To see the directory structure you may want to download the par file tools from www.openplane.org. You can use Big Munger to view everything in the par files, including where directories and files belong. IP: Logged
