When the mission editor first came out I was truly impressed and I still am. HT put a heck of a lot of thought into it and it's really amazing that it is used so little considering as I remember the capability it has of allowing you to save missions and re-load them. I suspect it would be a matter of someone familiar with it starting out with simple bomber escort missions. While I'm at it let me tell all of you just how lucky you are with a few things you've got which I haven't seen anywhere else e.g.
The mission editor is absolutely early caveman in ww2ol
Film editor? HA! Not even in their dreams.
WB has a rudimentary filming capability which requires a degree in rocket science to learn how to use it.
Count your blessings boys and most importantly use them

Why?

In WarBirds the Staff was called CMs. I have no idea why......anyway,

The CMs ALWAYS flew with us or were always active players much like Jester was. They would log on, fix minor problems and reset certain things when needed as well as fly missions or just play. Excellent customer relations/support in my book!

For anyone who is not familiar with the truely great experiance of winging with thebeeg, I can tell you from long experiance it is a challenge not soon forgotten.

Seems to me the Ct arena already has the scenario, all thats missing is the mission.

P.S. I also more or less retired from AH to play other interests, But am proud to be back.

Let me see if i can explain this so that it makes sense to everyone.

No missions would be run if there isn't enough people in the CT to do the mission and defend the other country's base,strat, or whatever that was going to be attacked.

The Mini mission's that i spoke of would run like this:

1 A message would go out to all to see who would be interested in participating in the mission. If there is enough interested then step 2

2 The country that is going to run the mission announce's to it's country when the mission is posted.

3 A few minute's before the mission is to begin a message is posted to all that the mission is about to begin.

4 The fun starts.

I really don't see why this could not work.

For once I agree with Hawk. I enjoyed my time in WB. I especially enjoyed the "Kill Me" nights, Historical Scenerios and the Arena settings in their HA (Historical Arena). I also enjoyed the way they employed a rolling planeset each month.

The rolling planeset allowed for all periods of the war to be rotated through the month, with early war in the beginning and late war near the end of the month.

Their were no complaints as to what plane should be enabled and which shouldn't and all that rubbish. Everyone would be able to fly the plane they wanted at some time during the month. Of course this all revolved around the Theatre of War for that month.
