Offline Mission request
« on: December 09, 2009, 03:56:36 PM »
Evening all ye brilliant mission makers. I was wondering if one of you would possibly mind creating a new mission for me?

Since these new City Strat objects came out, I've been dying to blow them up. Im currently stuck offline due to major financial issues, so I would like to fly a mission with this end.
I was thinking of something along the lines of the 8th Airforce, probably BoB04 terrain or even NDisles if BoB hasn't been updated, but not sure.
Maybe a large number of B17's, upwards of say 20-25 flights with about 10 Escorts. P51D with Drop Tanks for such a long haul. Alt up to about 28-30k

Now to oppose this horde, have maybe 3 262s, 2 163's and maybe 15 109's and 190/152's. Im not sure which 109 would be best suited to such a high altitude fight, so I will leave that up to the mission makers discretion.

I understand im asking a lot, but I would really appreciate it if someone would mind making me this mission.

Hey MacLeod, This is the kind of mission that's loads of fun to build.   Wish I could tackle it for you, but I've got my hands full at the moment.

Now might be a really good time for you to try learning the mission editor.  Especially since they just finished working out some major bugs, and since you're flying offline these days.  That's the situation I was in too when I first started with the editor.  I had as much fun building missions as I did flying online, and you can still participate in the community through your mission contributions and participation on this board.  Ever thought of giving it a try?

The mission you describe could be a goal for yourself.  Start with some really simple missions, and with each success, add a little more complexity util you work yourself up to the "Big One".

 :salute

Stalwart, I have tried the Offline Missions myself, both flying them and making them. Until today, everytime I loaded the mission editor it crashed on start up, and before that, I had a bug where I only had a triangle of the map visable.

I would love to try and get the Terrain editor going, as I have one or two maps I would LOVE to make, but again im Hopless at that.

I will give the editors another chance now that they have been updated, but I would still like to ask if someone wants to have a go at making this mission?

Thanks for the advice Stalwart  :aok

Greetings McCleod, first may I ask is the new mission editor working ok with the new game patch? Right now I am using 2.16 for both the game and mission editor and would like to update but only if the two new versions work. With that said, I am currently working on a mission for the Palm Sunday Massacre over Tunisia, it isn't what you requested but when done I will make sure to post it for all.
I know I can fly and I know I can shoot, just not at the same time.

Ares, yes its working fine now, so im busy getting to grips with it. However it does periodically crash and I dont quite know whats causign it. Anyone else getting this problem? I believe the major problem with me making this mission myself is its quite a big thing, and it will take me a long time to get to that level of mission making.
