I am running a 20 plane mission and all four of my bombers either crash on takeoff or shortly after..the other 16 planes take off just fine. what could be causing this?]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:39:33 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905259.html#Post2905259 question regarding cities and towns http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2904672.html#Post2904672 Vanderstok

Ah, you're right, that is where I got them from! smile

Anyway, we could use some community built templates with much better looking scenery. Perhaps category them as "high" and "low" in terms of number of objects...]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:27:46 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2904672.html#Post2904672 Laser's Dogfight Generator Beta 5 Now Available! http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905179.html#Post2905179 J5_Boman

Salute love this one, made 10 2 plane flights had whole bunch of jasta 5 out to fight, neat as neat.

Something that would be nice though would be to be able to choose more than 2 skins per group. Like leader, 2,3,4,5 and maybe 6. Would be awsome, htne I would only use this one, fly as j11 with Mr Fox and Musicmans skins or J5 with my own skins. Get some nice sceens done smile]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:39:15 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905179.html#Post2905179 mission editor help. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2899875.html#Post2899875 ishbu

Yes and Yes!

I'm afraid it's a bug, or it's because the waypoints are too low?]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:22:19 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2897434.html#Post2897434 Questions - Mission status http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2889458.html#Post2889458 Laser

AHA - nothing like a good rant to clear the mind.

My problem was that I had air start set. A full week of digging through everything that I could think with no results. Finally noticed the air start flag.

Anyway - altitude of zero does work (thank goodness, because otherwise I would be hosed). That is the best way to designate altitude for ground starts because Y calculation is not accurate.

What else ... airfield position can be flaky. If you use airfield position as the start position you may not have enough room. I back the aircraft up towards the hangars.

This is my algorithm for aircraft placement:
1. Start with airfield position.
2. Calculate new position: 100 yards distance, direction is 180 degrees opposite of Y orientation (not Y coordinate).
3. Plant the lead plane at this position.
4. Other planes are placed 30 yards away, 90 degrees from lead plane.

Obviously there is the possibility of error, but it seems to be OK so far.]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:29:09 PDT http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2890718.html#Post2890718 Laser's Dogfight Generator Beta 03 Now Available http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2891531.html#Post2891531 mash3d

Hi, Thanks for building this, I've been testting it out. Just for fun I tried to max out both sides with 32 planes each. Slow as mud and didn't last long before it crashed but it sure was pretty for the few minutes it lasted.
I assume there is going to be a new release that will include the Dr.1 and Camel?
What are the chances of getting an option to take out planes that one does not own from the players list, but still leave them in for the AI list?
Can each of the Players AI planes have a differnt skin randomly assigned?
or would that take up too much memory?
Will it ever be possible to set up ground attack missions, or attack enemy bomber formations?
thanks,
Michael]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:39:03 PDT http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2891531.html#Post2891531 How does MCU_CMD_AttackArea work? http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2885010.html#Post2885010 PatrickAWilson

Okay, I accomplished my goal (I think). My flights do not spawn. The start from their own fields and fly the same kinds of missions that you do. Because of this I want them to attack anywhere the enemy is found and not around a specific area.

The answer appears to be the AttackTarget MCU. What I did was assign the target flight as the object and every enemy flight as a target. This way each flight targets every flight on the opposite side.

Scout flights have the target as a primary goal and high priority. Further, all scout waypoints are low priority to allow them to break off and attack. Recon flights have their targets as default goal and low priority. Waypoint priority is medium to get them to stay on course unless attacked.

Needs more testing but initial tests look good. Thanks all.]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:08:14 PDT http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2885010.html#Post2885010 Any way to save a campaign mission? http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2886571.html#Post2886571 soda

would be interested in seeing the referenced mission if you can recover.


I grabbed a few of the busiest from the campaign; disect them at will!
