When you choose Offline Missions and you're thrown into the tower, take a look at the map on your clipboard.  What map do you see?

Hello Stalwart:

Downloaded ur 4 missions into missres folder, d/l'd ndisles & slot2 into ahiiterrain
folder.  All with NEGATIVE results!!   :uhoh

Selected ndisles & clicked on "Practice Missions",  should've seen the 3 missions:
Tally-ho, Zeros vs  Wildcats & Eagles v Lions.   End result zero (0) missions shown!

Tried slot2, clicked on "Practice Missions", should've seen Stryker's Trio  ... saw zilch

Sofar, none of the missions are listed in Practice Missions    :(  Pls fix, TY.

OK, This had me puzzled for a while.  The problem is not in the missions, it's in the distribution via esnips.   :rolleyes:  The files you download from esnips are not named the same as the files I uploaded to esnips.  Go friggin figure!~  :frown:

Problem identified.  Need more time for a solution.

I use esnips for my missions.  Put the mission(s) in a zip folder.  All will be groovy.  It gets jacked up if you have a link straight to the .res.

Tuk, my Hell's Gate mission is next up on my update to the new version list.  The terrain is done, except I can't "build" the terrain until the T.E. gets a fix-it patch.  I'll try to get a few missions made up for ya in the meantime running on default AH terrains(a first for me!).

The re-distribution has been tested, up and down, and the .res files came out byte-perfect this time.  The mission .res files have been renamed slightly to avoid file name convention issues.

Here's the link:  http://www.esnips.com/web/StalwartsAcesHighMissions (http://www.esnips.com/web/StalwartsAcesHighMissions)

Navigate e-snips folder convention to get the individual .res files:


Thanks for you patience.

Thanks guys!~  :)

The Hurri that spawns in the water will roll to the runway.  Guess that's why I missed it in testing.  It was pretty disquieting looking out the rear view on the re-test.  I'll adjust the spawn a few feet and re-post.  Thanks, Hellfire.

I am as sure as I can be with anything in software that pilot kills = invisible AI planes that continue to fight.  :O  This bug has been the bane of the offline mission experience.

Other invisible plane issues may be related to plane density at a location.  Were you by chance flying the Tally-ho mission when you encountered the invisibles?

All the taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing pattern segments have been reworked in Striker's Trio:

I just updated Soda72's Tunisia mission to the correct format if anyone wants it. :salute

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,275222.0.html

Also, I've taken down all of my prior missions until they are updated to the new format to prevent confusion to anyone new to offline missions (so they aren't downloading them in the wrong format.  The only ones I'm hosting right now are Baron's Battle & Tunisia.  More on the way when I get time.  I finally finished updating my RngrCove terrain, so my Hell's Gate mission getting updated should follow shortly.  As always, any terrains I make can be used by anyone for making their missions.
