Explaining difficult settings for those of us that do not like full expert.

[Uriah]

Difficulty Settings

You can set the difficulty settings playing Quick Missions or Missions or if you are hosting a game.  But as of now you can’t in Campaign or playing online on a server you are not hosting.

 

Three Difficulty Levels:  Normal N, Expert E, Custom C

 

Custom you can use to make an EASY difficulty.  You can also use it to make a setting far more difficult than EXPECT but not at the full difficulty of EXPERT.  An example is EXPERT at all levels but having a ‘Warmed up engine’.

 

Below are the options.  There Gameplay, Simplifications, Piloting assistance.

In EXPERT none of the options are selected.

In Normal those option boxes with a green are selected.

In Custom it all depends on you if you are playing off line.  If playing on line it depends on the hosting server.  Many of those not from the developers are CUSTOM set to have full EXPERT except for ‘Warmed up engine’. 

Below I have all the ‘Normal’s checked with a ‘x’
