Start campaign missions with engines off?


Recommended Posts

Posted

When I do campaign missions I want to start with the engines off. Well main reason is because I have Start Recording bound with Start Engines (this is best way for me to remember to start recording)  Anyone know if it's possible to do this?

It`s not possible unfortunately.

Dang I feel like there should be the option for that. Have Short, Full and "Extended" where you start engine off, off the runway and have to taxi and gets some extra XP. Then also add "Hardcore" difficulty that removes map markers, also for some extra XP...

Try Pat Wilson's Campaign Generator. Jason commissioned him to make it for Il-2 so that players can have the regular campaign or a fully customisable one.

Hi Lucas. I love PWCG, but never found the setting to start on the platform with engines off.

How do you do that?

It`s not possible AFAIK.

I checked here, my mistake indeed. I had the impression that it was possible for some reason. You can suggest this to Pat though, perhaps he can work it in whenever time allows.

But it's still a flight simulator. No offense, but your comment is really lame...there's no reason why it couldn't be there. Optional, as many other things, but it could be there.

 

At any rate, I already did suggest the inclusion of this feature to Pat, but there are issues with the AI finding the correct path from parking to take-off position. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Also, there doesn't seem to be an automatic way to force aircraft to spawn "parked", engine off instead of just "on runway", engine off.

 

You can work this around manually, which means that yes you will have to edit every mission generated. But like I said, it won't always work.
