To get the blue text I clicked on "UAW" near the bottom left of the screen to display the text colours and selected the blue one in the picture:

I have just used the "MPU2016.exe" to make and save a new multiplayer mission for the ETO theatre

Having selected ETO from the openong screen it is time to set the mission type and AI aircraft.

Selecting the planeset displays the front line based on the year selected

Then the target and bases:

The hosts base is Boxted

Then save the script:


Then select using the DSP:


Gameranger screen


A library of scripts is possible for the 352nd.
When selected the data is entered into the host's eaw.ini file, and transmitted to the players.

Today's multiskin possibilities









To set this up I made four new skin folders, with a single skin in each, and made a new planeset folder with these skins in the P38J, P47D, P51D and Hurricane skin slots, and the standard P51D FM in the corresponding FM slot.
Because the skin folder takes priority over the FM folder I able to put a "pname.str" file in each of the skin folders, and this is what the 140 exe read and displayed rather than the default one in the FM folder.

I was flying host only so I has to use the AI planes, but in reality it would have been better if this had been a real game with 352nd pilots selecting their own aircraft and no P51Ds in the AI selection.

However, it does show the tpye of thing that is possible

GameRanger host only test to see how the 190A-3 would go against the ponies.
Intercept, but Roller was the bomber type AI and Jack was the fighter type AI:

Excellent stuff!

Hoping to supply the tool and folders to the 352nd.
Thanks Jel for all the hard work and help!

AO (aka Roller)

To get a real test done I just flew an intercept with Shogun.
I was in Dumo's plane and he was in Roller's

First time NoAIs set so we got one aircraft each. We got one or two but were eventually butchered by the AI 190s of which there were several. Respawn was on, but as expected there were no planes available.
Second time NoAIs was off and we both got spare planes.

A most enjoyable session- after all that is what it is all about





This gives us useful experience to help the members of the 352nd

You guys are getting shot down because you're taking too many screeshots.

PAY ATTENTION!!!!

LOL!
