Just finished a campaign that takes place in Africa like the name suggests.

I've had this on my mind for a very long time and I was wondering if anyone else was thinking about it.

I was thinking, if someone could make a "dynamic" campaign in that there are ten or so (or more) missions made, and the player chooses their allegience and begins the campaign. At the end of the mission depending on whether the player won or lost, a debriefing would be shown (telling the player which mission to play next), and the next mission would be different.

Say for example, the player got their home base bombed in the first mission, the player would then start a different mission in the campaign and the briefing would state that his/her base was bombed previously and that he/she would have to take off from another base this time or less planes would be available this time and so on. If the player consistently destroys the enemy, the war will be in their favour. If not, the war will take a turn for the worst.

This way, a campaign wouldn't be played in the same order all the time (scripted) and the outcome would be variable to a degree.

I've downloaded some campaigns made by other people in this forum and I've always seen a fixed mission list that is played in order. Now, I agree that this type of campaign is easy to make and the author can make a whole list of engaging missions quickly, but (in my opinion) making a "dynamic" campaign would be more exciting.

I've actually tried to make a "dynamic" mission myself and you can download it at my site: FS Online.(http://members.xoom.com/harman_5)

It may be a little short but making this kind of campaign takes a *long* time.

Also would to ask if anyone knows what the bomb drop sound is named in FS:SDOE so I can replace it with another. I find that the default "hissing" sound made by bombs dropping is a little...strange?

Thanks All.

Heya Harman-

I was in a grey area about some of ground objects, but it's good that some things were cleared up.

As you said, the Flak Panzer's supposed quad 20mm cannons explode bigger than would be expected, being quite strange.

To everyone who downloads my campaign, please keep in mind that what I am trying to do here is make the campaign outcomes more varied or dynamic to an extent and since this kind of campaign takes a while to make and test, there could be some mistakes here and there.

This is the first campaign I've made being dynamic and if it turns out not to be all its supposed to, I may well give it up.

Of course, I have tested it, and if anyone finds any bugs, let me know.

Good luck! No one has released a branching campaign yet for SDOE that I know of.

Its great that we've got guys here working on planes and other guys working on campaigns to use 'em!

I look forward to working on these types of campaigns as much as I can so we can have some variety in our campaign outcomes.

I got the idea from the way the campaigns in the heli sim "Apache Havoc" are constructed, completely open-ended.

You can check out my first dynamic campaign at my web site if you have not already.

Cheers.
