The missions are promising, but I can't make them work right. Something always goes wrong at takeoff. Either my schwarm don't get their engines started as suggested might happen in the readme, or they do, but just sit on the runway forever and never takeoff. I'm pretty terrible at taxiing the 109 as yet, so that might be part of it. Could be my occasional off-taxiway excursions, or ham-fisted runway positioning are messing them up.
I definitely like the atmosphere around the base, though. The campaign mode could use a bit of that. When I do go up alone, I never encounter another unit anywhere else on the map though, so it must be important that my buddies take off to get the rest of the events rolling.
edit:
Ah, watching the autopilot give it a try on the external view demonstrated the problem. It wasn't giving them enough room to straighten out on the runway, so they never reported ready for takeoff. Also, I was reading the map wrong and not travelling to the right places. Done properly, it's nice. There's a very large and colorful ground battle and plenty of enemy aircraft. Good stuff. I probably just needed a little more hand-holding in the briefings.
