Missions for FC

[Muff_Huggar]

I'm sure this is well known, but I thought I'd mention it for any other newcomers. FC doesn't have any missions or campaigns or career at this time, so the best you can do is select a Quick Mission and fly around freely and bomb, strafe, dogfight, etc. But no real objectives. I thought I'd see what I can do with some simple missions created by the community. The mission builder guide from JimTM has some sample missions for BOS. They can be converted to FC missions in most cases by just opening the mission in the ME and changing his planes to FC planes. Some of the missions won't open in the ME until you edit them in a text editor and change the line PlayerConfig = "LuaScripts\WorldObjects\Planes\ju87d3.txt"; to PlayerConfig = "LuaScripts\WorldObjects\Planes\spad13.txt";

 

I had gotten kind of weary doing the Quick Mission free-flying ones that don't have actual objectives. This added something new...bombing bridges and factories, for example.

Many thanks for this post Muff, I too am kind of getting bored of quick missions and was hoping some of the talented members of the community would have made some by now. Saying that, I do enjoy seeing what I can find to fly through or under

Yes, I've been flying low around trees and stuff. for a change of entertainment, too. I was pleasantly surprised the other night when I skimmed a lake and water droplets formed on the wind screen. That detail was unexpected and nice. Then I thought about setting up a multiplayer Spad/DR1 Red Bull race course. I think the IL-2 purists would find that  appalling.

The original IL-2 had a few air racing pylons thrown in and I'd love to see 1CGS do something like that at some point. Purists will be able to ignore a minor content addition like that while air racers would probably benefit in a big way.

 

I had a lot of fun and enjoyed thoroughly flying air racing in the original IL-2.
