a way to play with expert mod and PWCG

[Azdack]

Thanks again to Pat for his great tool. I recently discovered a link for navigation in BOS and BOM :

http://il2missionplanner.com/

Needed are a second screen or a tablet and a watch.

Expert mod is captivating because it allows more immersion into the game by managing the plane's engine, So far no map, no external view, no friendly or ennemies icons anymore. Immersive.

I was chilly to play with expert mod because of navigation but mission planer is of great helpfull.

Once the PWCG's mission launched into the game I have a look to the PWCG flyplan and then on my tablet I make my own flyplan with mission planer link (for instance I choose less climbing waypoints). Il2missionplaner shows to the player all waypoints with heading points/ choosen speeds/fly duration according to a middle speed choosed by the player.

By opening a campaign with PWCG I choose the rank of Major. It allows to add pilots and planes to the number of pilots and planes given by PWCG and furthermore during the flight it's possible to give orders to the wingmen. Then arriving on the fight area I of course open my eyes and look everywhere but I often click on keeboard Lalt1 which says : engange any ennemy plane. If there are no ennemies planes around, the order is not poping on the screen but if ennemies are around, order pops meaning that bandits are somewhere not very far and the wingmen break formation to attack. If I haven't seen the ennemies I follow my wingmen to find them for sure. Same way with Lalt2 for : attack any ground target.

Well this is a way to play and I will read with pleasure any other of your ways. Thanks
