Sounds like goofy FM coding. You do not fly relative to the ground, but instead relative to the wind, so whatever the wind does just helps you get lost more easily and complicates/eases landing... It doesn't change rates of turn, airspeeds or propeller revolutions.

Patrick Wilson sent me a new version of RoFCampaign this morning: 20091102-0901_RoFCampaign.zip

If you did not download it yet then grab it here -> RoF Resources: Gameplay Enhancements

Cheers

Thanks for the update Gremlin.. any list of changes/fixes since the last?

Also, if I may make a request for future versions. It would be nice to be able to select N.17 Squadrons. They may be available for French (haven't tried), but they are not available for British. I also was unable to do Alb D.III careers.

Line size is now normal.
I added a TL from the timer to the formation MCU.
I added a config file (RofCampaign\data\RofCampaign.config) that specifies some fonts and parameters. If you don't have a font on your system or you do not like the ones that I chose you can change them.

Also in this version:
Added variable weather.
An eng file is now created but I still don't have mission description working properly. If somebody can take a look at it and give me a hint it would be appreciated.

The only known bug is the lack of an in game description. Since I provide this in my mission page I do not view it as a show stopper.

Some notes:

1. Wind is too strong - I have already changed that.
2. Altitude is very high? In 1918 the low flights were going in at 13000 feet with high flights stacked to 20000. Note to self - make altitude type dependent.
3. Overrev on DRI. Probably due to 105 MPH flight speed for scouts. That was OK before the DRI and Camel (N17 does not figure as the campaign starts in Sept 1919) but not anymore. I had a todo to make this aircraft dependent but I will have to expedite that.
4. Poor performance - currently undocumented feature is RoFCampaign.config in the \RofCampaign\Data folder. You can change the base number of allied and entente flights. Random element is not yet changeable. Suggest setting friendly flights to zero to eliminate some of the load. I want to add a configuration screen that will allow the user to customize as much as possible.
5. Bad spawn points. This is either bad airfield configuration or I am backing the aircraft up too far. Not much that I can do about the first one other than move the squadron. The second I can fix. Please PM me with the squadron name and airfield.

6. Skies are too empty. Some notes on the mission generator and some ideas as to where it could go.

The mission generator is coded to generate possible "opposition" flights while others are totally random. The odds of generating an opposition flight is 30%. Opposition flights will fly near the player's waypoints while other flights will not. I can make opposition flight odds configurable, allowing players to increase the odds. I can also improve the opposition flight algorithm to increase odds of contact.

All missions originate within a certain radius of the player's airfield. No need to waste CPU on a flight in Verdun when you are in Flanders. However, I can improve mission generation by throwing away "garbage" flights - flights that are so far from the player as to make an encounter unrealistic.

Mission pathing will be ongoing. I have ideas and confidence that I can create a high likelihood of encounters without sacrificing the random element.

Thanks for the feedback.
