Title: Offline Missions?
Post by: BFOOT1 on June 03, 2012, 10:16:15 PM
Gentleman and ladies, I'm an expierenced Aces High vet I have been playing since the game started. But what is Offline Missions ? Is it like a mission editor where for example I could set-up a Battle of Britain test where I have 12 Spitfire Mk.1's taking off from a base in england to intercept Ju-88's over the English Channel? Someone shed some light and help me figure out what this is.

Thanks  :salute

You can set up pretty much any type of mission you'd like to, using any of the aircraft or terrains.  I'd recommend trying out
a few of the offline missions that others have made.  There is also a tutorial within the editor that will help you create your missions.

Good luck.

Here's a comprehensive introduction to offline missions:

I have not written a pure "Battle of Britain" mission, but my "Euromix" mission is pretty close to the example you had been imagining: an allied strike across the English channel (including later-model Spitfires) opposed by German and Italian fighters. Read about it (and watch a brief video preview) here:

I hope you decide to learn about the Mission Editor and write (and publish) some of your own missions. It's a very fun part of Aces High that doesn't get as much attention as other parts.
