For those of you who also play ROF's Beta Career, if you get assigned a recon or artillery spotting mission, you can do the following to share your mission here for Pat's study:

- start the mission so it is downloaded to your "…Rise of Flight\data\Missions" folder
- alt-tab out of ROF and go to your "…Rise of Flight\data\Missions" folder
- zip together just these 2 files: _gen.eng and _gen.Mission
- attach that zip to this thread

Pat, if anyone does what I describe above, you may want to also check out the "File Transfer Error #10017 (v1.019) when using Flash objects" thread at the ROF forums.

I also recommend the advice in the "ROF.exe client crash on Co-op load" post.

Hi Pat,

In the Camera icon in dogfight missions? thread at ROF Flashy has attached a quick dogfight mission with a working artillery spotting grid.

Thanks to all for the feedback. I'm plugging away. Much easier to get things done with a bit of help, so it is much appreciated.

Sorry for just butting in here - this is a very long thread - is the link on the first page the latest version?

Thanks - and thanks a lot for doing this

Thank you.

Whilst playing some PWCG generated Coop missions with squadmates recently there was a little confusion about the wind speed/direction. I did some quick tests and found that the information on wind direction given in the briefings is 180deg out. I know this was an issue for the game itself a while back but it has since been corrected.

The below screenshot highlights the issue:



The PWCG mission briefing gives the wind as 103 - technically this is correct as in 'the wind is blowing in the direction of 103'. However, in aviation terms the wind is always given as the direction it is blowing 'FROM'. Looking at the wind indicator on the simple guages shows the wind is blowing 'FROM' approx 280.

I think this is a relatively simple fix in that the wind direction given in the briefing needs to be adjusted by 180deg. Incidentally, the wind direction is usually given as a rounded figure - in my previous life as an air trafficker I would generally round the direction to the nearest 10 deg.

I realise this is a relatively minor issue but it all adds to the immersion of the game. And if we could get winsocks fully implemented into PCWG that would be the icing on the cake for this closet aviation meteorology fan!

Regards,

WB.

As a post script to my above post I just want add that I and several other EAF squadmates have had a blast flying PCWG generated coop missions. Brigstock has provided some excellent missions for us in a DiD campaign in the latter months of the war. All the missions were tense, hectic and good fun.

Of note was a mission where our flight of EAF piloted SE5s was bounced not once but twice by AI flown Fokker DVII and Pfalz DXII.

Superb.

Thanks 777 and Pat Wilson for providing an excellent experience.

WB.

Who is Brigstock? Where to find these missions?

Thanks,
Dirk.

Brigstock is an EAF squadmate who posts here as well. He used PWCG to generate coop missions for us to fly. He had to make some manual adjustments to allow us to fly the missions as a group.
