This pack will integrate all interactive missions into the training menu of BS2.

Simply copy the "Training" folder into your BS2 installation folder. (and allow to integrate/overwrite if you are updating)

This will add two new categories:

ED should pay this guy!

is it not possible to do these for BS1 ?
V

Sorry, No.

BS1 doesn't support this trigger system for the cockpit that allows you to highlight the switches.

These are great BTW. I played through them last night. They are nice and short, which make them perfect for refresher if you've been away from the sim at all.

Hello guys,
Sorry, I forgot how to get these mission downloads working in the sim. I have the zipped folder named "Weapon Employment" downloaded to my documents. Where do I go from there? Seem to remember something about renaming a file to .miz?

Sure could use this training help, kinda rusty.

download the file from the site. If its named .zip, just rename it to .miz Then load it up under missions in black shark... should work that way.

Thanks, BigfootMSR. Not sure why it's still not working. For example, I downloaded a folder (not file) called "Cold Start Up.zip". It contained some .ogg files, mission, options, and warehouse (no extensions). I tried renaming the folder "Cold Start Up.miz". It was not recognized in game.

I tried unzipping the folder and renaming it "Cold Start Up.miz". Also not recognized.

I tried adding .miz to Mission (file), this did not work either. What am I missing? Thank you for the help!

Forgot to say, I did move the folder to "Missions" Folder in Black Shark 2 Folder.

Sorry its taken so long to get back to you JimD... What version of Black Shark are you running? The missions I have made are for version 1.1.1.1. If your running an earlier version the mission wont work.

Ok, just checked to make sure. It's Black Shark 2 version 1.1.1.1 Guess I'm lost on exactly what to rename. (One of the files in the folder, all of the files, or just the folder name?)

I guess in your case, it would be the .zip folder that contains all of the files. It needs to be in the origional file format or not unzipped. I don't know why your computer is downloading it as a .zip file and not as the .miz when you download the file from ED's site, can you select a different option for file type during the download process? click download and when you save as.. look at the different file types you can choose from.

Thanks BigfootMSR! Your last post solved the problem. I had been downloading the files to an old computer and then transferred them to my Windows7 Sim computer. That is what messed up the file system.

Tried a direct download this time and all is well. I'm happier than a termite in a lumber yard, thanks for your understanding.


Update: Just flew one of the missions, truly excellent work and much appreciated!

Aw bloody hell! Thanks a lot BigfootMSR, now I've got to let the moths out of my wallet to get my credit card out so I can finally upgrade to BS2!

Cheers!

Rick...
