1st Generation Dynamic Mission, by TheOden.

[Sokol1]

This SP mission, although based unique template - player will notice the same convoys in the Channel every day - change starting hour, clouds and daily events and counts lost of both side.

 

Player don't receive a "to-do" briefing, the actual briefing after first flight is a report based on last days events, informing looses from both sides, and remaining planes in your squadron.

 

But are a important detail in briefing:

 

Quote

 

Verify tail number 'D', serial no. 'P3165' and check your callsign in <Player Plane>

 

Set this numbers (vary from squadron) is necessary for mission script track player plane, and if not set correctly can duplicate flights, sometimes with "disastrous" result on take-off. Callsing - usually "Caribou" is just for memorize and know when "controller" are talking with you.

LATEST RELEASE:

 

Download: http://odenhouse.servegame.com/DynMisR7.zip

 

EDIT OP: Actually (12/2018) Odenhouse domain is off line, no alternative link is know for DynMisR7 - that basically update Readme.

 

DynMisR6 is available there: https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=37510&amp;d=1543815598

 

Install: Before unpack files, right click over ZIP file and in Properties, tab General, tick "Unblock". 

Drop files in some Folder inside Single Missions, e.g. the DynMis5 of ZIP file.

 

...Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Single\DynMis5\

 

After go to this folder and check if all files are unblocked, in some remain this cause mission just repeat over and over again without progress.

 

Custom skins place in Paint Schemes\Skins:

 

...Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\PaintSchemes\Skins\

 

Add to Conf.ini file (Documents\1c..dover\ folder), under [rts] section:

 

scriptAppDomain=0

 

Run the mission from Single Player options, selecting one of available squads (British or German or Italian).

 

 

Some squadrons are based on airfield a "bit far", e.g. Biggin Hill, but when return from first mission player can request "transfer" for some airfield near "Hellfire Corner", using Mission menu (TAB-4-6 and requesting bearing in TAB-4-5).

 

Eventually due lost their squadron can be retreat for rear airfields, as well a damaged airfield can be closed.

 

After take-off player just need follow the front section - that soon will "afterburn" and disappear from view (CloD AI behavior after take-off), so ignore then and follow "Fighter Command" instructions on radio for find enemy.

 

 

Bearing (on vertical) in this report is one that player need follow for intercept enemy.

 

This same "controller" instruction for intercept pop-up briefly on top of screen in orange text.

 

As this radio (Info Window) contains a lot of "chit-chat" could be turned off (hold Alt, click above, select close) - but do this if know how create new Info Windows, as "open" a closed Info Window is not possible.

 

Instead await controller instructions, player can ask with TAB-4-4.

 

A gameplay consideration: Even if player is "greedy GPS follower" is important know how navigate by plane instruments.

 

Due "dynamic" nature of mission, waypoints for nearest enemy flights is not available on "GPS" (map), only a waypoint for a Hunting waypoint (a stylized hunter icon), that can be changed at any moment based on events.

 

And as "radar" coverage is limited, enemy planes icons will show over map at given range.

 

So, for don't fly blind or became lost is important use compass and directional gyro.

 

But the "mor'difficult, mor'real" used (intentional or accidental) in cockpit views for see this instruments in British planes turn use then a difficult and unpleasant experience.

 

Both instruments are hidden behind control column and spade grip - specially in Hurricane.

 

Player not using TrackIR or similar need press and hold right and middle mouse buttons, move mouse left-front-right, and again to be able to see compass, read the magnetic heading and adjust directional gyro:

 

 

In German planes is easy read the compass - don't require directional gyro, and player even can "cheat" placing mouse over compass and read directions in digital information on pop-up.

 

The in game map "GPS" can be customized, by right click over and un-tick the undesired icons, as well icon size changed - bellow from 32 to 64 (right).

 

screen shot windows 7

 

At left default map, at right only with player plane and path for Hunting waypoint (called Check point in radio), path is dependent of player plane icon, so this is the minimum cleanup possible for "GPS" screen.

 

Too due mission "dynamic" nature AI flights don't have landing waypoint, thus for avoid decimate their own squadron player need deceive wingman's about their intention to landing.

 

When aligned with runway order "Line Abreast" formation (TAB-6-2-7) and moments latter "Far formation" (TAB-6-1-4), the trick work well, if  not done too low.

SimHQ topic: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4301748/singleplayer-dynmis#Post4301748

 

This mission is good training for player get used with "radar" information necessary in MP servers "full switch". 

 

Finally, since this mission script has more than 5000 lines and CloD "It's CloD!" to verify if all are OK right click over screen and in VIEW AIRCAFT look if several British and German planes are listed - meaning that scrip run OK.

 

 

But if are listed only you squadron (~4 planes) something goes "kaput", check install instructions. 

 

BTW - Previous edit attempt make this post goes "kaput", so need re-post, trying condense the 'blah-blah-blah" (without success).

Is there a valid link for the v7 ReadMe update anywhere?  I can't find the post in ATAG that is being referred to.

Edited March 1, 2019 by ladlon

[Sokol1]

No, but v7 readme just add instructions for online COOP, as suggested in SimHQ.

I'm having issues with advancement of in TheOden's Dynamic Mission.

I made sure that the files of the mission are unblocked
Installed the DynMis 6 into "\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz\missions\Single"
In the config.ini, I added "scriptAppDomain=0" into the [rts] section

I wanted to play the mission for the Italian Airforce on the G50. When I loaded the mission, I manually added the tail number and serial number in the Aircraft settings. The mission started with several G50s, including mine, on the airfield. We took off, I check the CTRL + F2 and found that all the enemy aircraft were on the ground. I used radio comms to get the vector to a nearest enemy - no answer. I just flew to the British coast, fired at couple of AA guns, missed ? and returned to our airfield. After finishing the mission, I launched it again and found out that nothing has changed, it was still day 1 and it didn't advance further.

Does anyone have similar issue? Could it be that the G50 mission is unfinished or I messed up something during the installation?

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

DynMis R6 is pretty old Arthur.

The last non-exe version I found on my drive is this attached R10.

 

I tried a G.50 sqn and flew to Manston TARCAP'ing Ju88's coming in from Belgium and it seems to work pretty ok.

 

Mind you this was originally built for a RAF Spitfire squadron flying from Rochford (Hornchurch satellite) and all other sub-versions has been slapped on during a pretty long process, blue side in particular (and my God the code isnt pretty today).

Wow, thanks a lot! I haven't tried G50 in a while in CloD, so I decided to start with it. I'll try it tonight.

[TheSNAFU]

I am using the R10 version and must say with the improvements made to the AI I am really enjoying Cliffs for the first time ever in SP. I have had the game almost since it’s original release, put it away until Blitz came then put it away again because the AI was still so bad it just wasn’t any fun. Now the AI is better and not much crazy behavior at all. Very challenging dogfights and they stay on their mission pretty well. The missions began during the Battle for France and now I’m flying convoy protection and intercepts. Plenty of action and flak. Quite fun. Wish there was a PWCG for CLOD but this still works pretty well. Just not very deep. 
 

Very cool to enjoy the game. Nice work TF! Will be getting Tobruk shortly.
