IL2 Great Battles Easy Mission Generator

[Beebop]

[Tarkus8]

Yep, I couldn't see that option because when I select a random scenario it isn't visible. Thank you very much.

As you chose to fly as red leader you will fly an La5 here, as player.

[Tarkus8]

That did it, it was the plane, that's why I couldn't find the previous missions. Thank you, again

How do I choose the player plane from the mission generator then?

 

I've also opened one of the missions that I can't see into the editor but I can't understand anything and I can't find the player plane

 

Ah, that might be it (I own basically everything, so I couldn't replicate that). See in your screenshot below. You chose:

-To fly for Allies.

-Next to the faction it says "Red last" , so you will fly in "Red" flight as last man in the formation.

-Now check the Allied section (Red Star) and specifically Red flight. In your example you chose Random, so you couldn't have seen that the tool chose a Mig-3 as plane.

 

EDIT: LOOKS LIKE I MISSED A COUPLE OF POSTS

I got a question to the "Enemy air activity".

As I understand this setting increases or decreases the enemy plane count.

 

But EMG is generating on my end, beside the defined Blue and Red Flight, 2x4 AI planes,

doesnt matter what "Enemy air activity I set" (low,medium,high).

Am I doing sth wrong?

I attached the setting of EMG I use.

I think this is literally what is called an ‘edge case’ scenario ?

Hi, you can check here for additional explanation: https://sites.google.com/view/il2-great-battles-emg/tips-tricks?authuser=0

 

So only for activity low it will reduce the number of AI planes (slightly). It's mostly about whether they will hunt you or not.

Yes, thanks. You can click on the icons to minimize a section. I have added it to the tips & tricks page.

Thanks, let me check

 

So I checked and the link is shareable, public. What download link do you use?

Edited May 16, 2020 by SYN_Vander

[OrLoK]

Latest version: IL2CoopGenerator_v30.1

that link. 

 

it lets me see the folder, but when i click on the download arrow icon on top right hand side, it attempts do do something then gives me a "Resource unavailable." page.

 

Something my end?

Weird, it does work on my end... without logging into google account. Could be a google issue. Not replicating correctly in their datacentres or something.

 

Here is the file for now, although I will have an update very soon (as the new IL2 update comes out).

IL2CoopGenerator_v301.zip

excellent, that worked perfectly!

 

Ill also dl your new version when it arrives

 

Ill test it again ovee the next few days and will let you know if anything changes.

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on this mission generator. I just started with this tool. I would like to ask you if it is possible to change the hardness of the vehicles. It is difficult to destroy a truck. Thank you.

Do you mean the moving vehicles or the static vehicles? I can only change the latter. 

[TP_Tufty]

Simple to use program that gives great results.

smashing!

Testing a bridge attack mission, I realized that the vehicles near AA were very, very strong. Thanks

So I checked and the values seem okay: durability=1000 for trucks, according to specs by developers: 

 

 

[blue_max]

So another question: I read somewhere that the distance from which you can see air planes on the map is an option, and you can set it so that you can see farther on the map. Is that something that would be toggleable? I understand that people like spotting like it was IRL, but when we fire up the easy mission generator, we generally just want to find the enemy and get into a dogfight. So knowing where the enemy is would be a super cool addition

I checked ingame and indeed durability of 1000 stil takes huge amount of 7.92 mm to destroy a truck. Perhaps I'll lower it a bit.

Yes, it's a difficulty setting so you can set it an any mission. Try it, but you'll see it is a bit strange experience when planes suddenly disappear when you move closer

FYI dlownload working now

[SYN_Vander]

Thanks for your suggestion for an air start base. I also use it myself now to quickly test missions

Nice one Vander, thank you!

Hi all, need a little advice, i had V.20 of this amazing little program and it worked perfectly, sadly been away for a while and have just updated to latest version, V.31, so the problem, it generates the missions in the mission folder but they dont show up in game! V.20 still works and does produce in missions folder,. I have now over ridden v.20 with V.31 but still nothing and game path is correct. I know it will probably be something stupid but i cant for the life of me find whats wrong! any thoughts?

 

Regards

What mission types are you creating?

Single mission for now

This is what i have on mission generation and this is the end result

as you can see, as far as i know i'm doing it correctly but ingame nothing appears for said generated mission

So the mission is generated (as the screenshot shows), but in-game it doesn't show in the list?

 

This can happen if you don't own the plane you selected. Did you buy the U2 vs? (I guess you did since you have a mission pack)

I created the mission using your configuration and I could select and play it...

 

Could you try to generate it again with a different name?

 

Side note: You have selected a LOT of planes:20 Allied + 14 Axis but if you tick "AI Patrols" it will add 2x8 = 16 more aircraft for a total of 50 aircraft.

Hi and thanks, that is correct, mission generates but does not show in list

 

i have all content except the new yaks so that wont be a problem

 

I shall reduce plane amounts and attempt  with new name and see what that gives!

 

Thanks again

I just tested again with the same name you gave it and now I also don't see it. Perhaps a naming issue? No spaces allowed?

hang on... the mission has missiontype = 2, which is incorrect. You may have found a bug. Will investigate further

just tested this  but still getting same result,  mission IS generated but not showing

[SYN_Vander]

It's a bug. The Rhineland template now has " Dogfight" as default mission type. Will fix within the hour....

 

Other maps should work fine...

Edited May 20, 2020 by SYN_Vander

ok redone again and this one worked

only differences are Moscow map from Rhineland and checking the Historical planes box, if that helps, sorry i broke your amazing app

No, thanks for spotting a bug! It's a nasty one, because if the mission already exists as proper type and you overwrite it with a new version with wrong mission type it will still show up in the menu. So it's hard to find.
