Excellent!! Thanks a lot

[IRRE_Belmont]

My hope for the game is restored, 

The campaign is very good!

[No601_Swallow]

I've just posted this in the update thread, but I want to put it here too:

 

I've just taken off in the first mission, but I had to pause it and return here with first impressions after 120 seconds or so.

 

I'm astonished. A densely living and breathing airfield, pock-marked with bomb craters and burnt out aircraft. I didn't believe a flightsim (that wasn't a FSX "mega-airport") could show something so compelling. I'm already worried I'll let my swarme down. Honestly, it's epic already.

 

Even the map is a work of art. 

 

I am now so excited as to what mission builders will be able to do with the tools available in this game.

 

Salute! Veteran and team! (And - whisper it - devs!!)

 Just from looking at the map and the briefing of the first mission, the large amount of historical research on show implies that this campaign has been a labour of love!

 

Get it from the Developer Diary Part 85. There's a link to download.

Hi PA-Sniv

can you write the first page

Start missions in offline mode

[NIKO_BG]

I downloaded and installed this missions but when I start a mission there is a message ( this mission is unavailable for your account)

[Trooper117]

After install all it tells me when I try to play a mission that 'it is not available to my account'

it is a camera mode, it is a overview camera and then you drive with the car to your plane, not hurry

[-TBC-AeroAce]

WOW just had a 20 min blast on the first mission and it seems really good, the only thing that is bugging me is I cant seem to get my shwarm to take off with me, they just sit there, what am I doing wrong???

 

Just out of interest does the aircraft type that you attack dynamic or will it always be the same?

[fjacobsen]

My flight didn´t take of either, but I also took off before being told to.

 

Apart from that issue, this campaign really shows how a campaign should be done - so immersive.

 

Thanks Veteran !!

Mission 1 and 5 the Schwarm need some time to be ready to start, please wait some minutes to get clear to take off

[No601_Swallow]

Yes, in Mission 1, the last aeroplane, Rabe 4 - the wee mite, his name is Roby, by the way - takes some time to line up on the runway. With externals (tee hee!) you can hear the AI "pulsing" their engines as they get into position. It takes them a bit of time to get happy. The first time I took off, I thought the green flare was the go signal, but no joy - restart! The secret fun of SP! So you do have to wait a few minutes.

Wooohhhooo... Is it true? Wow i must run to my computer!

[LastRightsXIII]

there is a readme file in the rar, but extract the rar file to the root file of BoS 

[LastRightsXIII]

Thank you 

But  it is opening with note pad. Is this right?

[t4trouble]

You  free download 7zip or winrar, to open or extract the the rar file, but you look at the readme with notepad yes. In the readme is 

instructions where and how to install the missions

[Y-29.Silky]

This looks great, can't wait to tey it out!

[LastRightsXIII]

alright I think I've got it.

Thanks again for all the help 

S!

[t4trouble]

 

 

Hmm I see no zipped file nor any option  to do so. just a bunch of code in note pad.

 

The readme file is in the rar file, you need to open the rar file with 7zip or winrar not notepad, 

[-TBC-AeroAce]

its a brillient effort but still finging very hard to get my team to take off, so far got them on the runway but they didnt go, I think I will be sucsessful next time, u have to wait in the pen for a couple of mins then wait on the runway for a couple of mins

Error message #10020 unavailable for your account?

[SvAF/F19_Klunk]

Yakdriver, u need to stop spamming

Are you trying to play it after starting the game "online"?  Several posts I've seen say that you have to start the game "offline" in order for these missions to work.  Seems a bit odd to me, but it almost sounds like some variation of Mods on vs Mods off is going on here.  I hope it's just some weird temporary thing and not an indication that user-made missions won't be able to be played online - that would seem to be a very odd outcome.

[Juri_JS]

Well done Veteran66.

 

After finishing the first mission I have to admit I am impressed. I have a some knowledge of the RoF mission editor, but I didn't expect that some of the thinks I saw in the mission would be possible.

Although I really think we need to get back 16x time acceleration to speed up the AI planes taxiing to take-off.

[Leaf]

Yakdriver if you're so bloody clever why don't you code the AI? It's a known bug that will be fixed, now stop spamming.


But I digress:

Great [short] campaign! Very immersive, very challenging (navigation and comms make it more difficult). Much more like what I had in mind with the official singleplayer campaign. Unfortunately due to the many, many ground objects and units the game runs quite slowly, with this weird 1/2 speed effect we had a few patches ago. 

 

So yeah, great campaign, if your PC can run the many AI ground units.

Great work Veteran66. Really can't wait to try this out tonight. Putting you on my ignore list Yakdriver. You have an irritating personality.
