IL2 Great Battles Easy Mission Generator

[[VCB]Telf_UK]

Hi @SYN_Vander,

 

I created around 10 missions today to test out, which I have reviewed in the Mission editor, server loaded, and briefly flown around on. Further testing as a group will happen later.

 

Only issues I noticed is some spawned objects including artillery, vehicles, and even planes (starting on runway etc) required a little nudge in the editor to ensure they spawned on terrain. I had to use the "set on ground" button to set their initial starting positions correctly.

Now I do not recall if this was ever an issue before, however for the missions I am running tonight I of course did not want to risk my objectives being sunk. Could be an issue but maybe something you could test as your knowledge is better of course.

 

Only other drama I had was somehow on Moscow, Mar-Apr 42, or May-Jul 42 fronts, I was not able to create a mission as Axis to attack a vehicle convoy and be intercepted by Russian fighters. Don't know if maybe the mission generator was unable to find suitable areas for a convoy, but was worth noting.

I kept getting the "failed to generate mission" error.

 

However my complicated Axis resupply mission seems to work nicely, and all previous issues with AI blue/red flights not spawning appear to be fixed. Thank you very much.

 

Any more issues I will let you know but v52 looks good to me so far (unless what I mentioned above is a show stopper)

Thanks for the detailed feedback.

Objects not exactly aligned to ground is not a problem, they will be set to ground level when the mission loads. The exception is effects such as smoke, fire etc; they can float in the air.

I will investigate the Moscow map problems, I think there is a bug in the template. EDIT: It was something not related to Moscow, but it's fixed now.

Hi @SYN_Vander,

 

No worries at all. Flew 5 missions last night and all ran very well. One minor server blip when attacking a formation of 9 He-111's however I still had a lot of ambient AI on the map too.

 

I have not tested the air start aspects as I do not use forward air starts on my missions, but let me know if you want some dedicated testing done on that.

Hi @SYN_Vander,

Just started using your Mission Generator recently - it's a great tool and I am having a lot of fun with it!

I have run into an issue - whenever I choose Midnight or Dead of Night as time of day, I get a "Could Not Generate Mission" error. Missions with other times generate with no problems.

I am generating Single game types, using latest version - 50.

Thank you.

Confirmed! Will be fixed in new release (soon). Thnx for reporting!

[Roy35150]

Thank you for this...

[Daveslow]

This is awesome!

Any chance of using the included tanks with this in for example the Stalingrad ones? (I don't have Tank Crew yet ? )

[51THHotStick]

Thank you for this great software which allows us to fly on this simulator.

A little suggestion.
We use it in co-op.
The concern is that the number of players is uncertain.
If we plan 8 pilots and in the end there are only 6, there will be 2 AI.
What we don't want.

Would it be possible to have a 'Gasoline 1%' checkbox?
Which would mean that the AI would not go very far!
As a player we always adjust the fuel before the start. We don't have a problem with that.

This simple option would facilitate the creation of missions without having to constantly adjust the number of aircraft available to the number of human players.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I can look into that.

 

But if you don't want to fly with AI, only against it, then jou might as well use Dogfight mode? With the latest version everything will be the same except there will be no AI in your flight.

Salute,

 

When creating a dogfight map for player v AI it does not seem possible to have unlimited player planes? the most is 10?

 

I thought this used to be a feature? Apologies if I am mistaken?

 

The reason I ask is that I am looking to use your generator to create an air mission that I will then add tanks to, for example I want to try and create an air support mission.

 

If I have to edit the spawn points to make it unlimited, no worries, I am happy to do that.

It’s a bit misleading, but I don’t think the number of planes is limited to 10. I believe it’s always unlimited. Best to try it out (I’m on a holiday right now)

Hello,

Nice tool. But cannot generate a mission. Everytime I do a "create mission" I get a message saying "Could not generate mission".

What am I doing wrong ?

Hi KpaxBos,

 

Thanks for attaching those files.

You are using a custom plane set in this mission. However, when I look into the custome_planes.json there are no planes defined except for Axis fighter category. So the generator is trying to pick random planes for the enemy and AI but it can't choose from an empty list.

 

Solution:

Don't use custom plane set or if you do want to, make sure there is at least one aircraft type for each category defined (under 'Subset').

See below, A subset should not be left empty:

Hi Vander,

 

Thanks for this amazing software you created.  Not sure if I've found a bug or doing something wrong.  Single player, Moscow map, ramp start taking off from Pavlovskoe airfield.  I'm red 2 in a Mig-3 escorting Pe-2's.  My flight doesn't take off, we get aligned on the runway but nothing happens we sit there until the flight lead of the Pe2's plows into the rear aircraft of my flight lol.  I've attached the mission files if that helps.  I'm not sure but I think the problem is that plane 3 doesn't report ready for take off.

 

I've tried creating a number of different missions, with I-16's we can take off fine, I can also be blue flight and have Mig-3's in the ai controlled red flight take off ok.  If I'm in red and in a different position as flight leader or last I get 50/50 results, sometimes we'll take off ok, other times we just sit there.

 

Thanks in advance for any help with this as I'm really loving using your mission generator otherwise.

 

Cheers,

Ross

It's a generic IL2 bug I'm afraid. There is simply no way to guarantee that the AI manage to properly line up and take-off from a praked position (and believe my I tried!) . I think it's the reason why in Career mode only runway take-offs are possible. Which is by the way the best solution.

Dear @SYN_Vander 

New to IL-2, tried to install your software and follow the steps. 

The issue for me right now, is that the game does not register the missions that I have generated - I cant select them when I try to host a game. I have however confirmed that the files have been generated in the folder.

 

Any tips?

 

Much appreciated - can't wait to use this tool to play with my mate

Hi mallosan,

 

This can be due to the file in the incorrect folder or if certain characters are used in the mission name.

It helps if you can attach the config file here.

[CorvusX]

Hi Vander,

 

first:  Thank you for keeping this great tool up to date!

 

My apologies if this is known or was already reported and I'm not sure if these are bugs or just on my end:

 

In V51 and V52 for all game modes (single, coop and dogfight):

 

Ambient AI aircraft: if you choose 1 or 2 it wont generate a mission and "Error:  Could not generate mission" shows up 

With 0 and  3-25 it works fine.

 

In V52 i have the following problem:

In Dogfight mode, for blue flight, in any scenario (attack, bombing, etc.) and if the plane type "any" is chosen, it always generates a mix of the attack and bombing planes which are set in the plane sets  (default as well as custom plane set) 

i.e.: Rescue mission, Stalingrad, default plane set:

axis:  He111 H6+ H16, Ju87, Ju88, Hs 129, Bf109 E7, Me110 E2, FW190A3 (+ Bf109 F2 Red flight as chosen)
allied: A-20, Pe2, Il2, P39, P40E1, Hurricane, (+ 2nd Hurricane Red flight as chosen)

The same mix of bomber and attack planes appears for blue flight if custom plane set is checked.

 

Also in dogfight:

If start on runway is chosen the planes are still  starting "on the ramp" with engines off.

 

Example config.inis are in the attached zip file.
 

 

 IL2CoopGenerator_v52.zip

___

 

I also want to make a suggestion for the transport missions (rescue and resupply):

The fake airfield "Airstrip" seems to cause that the AI planes land there. Unfortunately this also set the object to completed.

 

The easiest way for me to avoid this is to delete the "Airstrip" airfield. 
To make it a bit more challenging i also added two more complex triggers between the "stationary and alive" and object completed MCUs 
One that checks the take off (within 2000m) and one if the area (3500m)  is left and it seems to work.

With a Ju52 and an A20 it's nearly always possible to start again.
Maybe you find the time to take a look at the objective_rescue_axis_1 group in the attached template.zip (modified your Generic template of V51)

template.zip

Anyway, please keep up your great work!

Hi CorvusX, thanks for the detailed feedback!

 

1) Ambient AI aircraft: if you choose 1 or 2 it wont generate a mission... Thanks, must be something in the algorithm. I'll add it to the backlog.

 

2) In Dogfight mode, for blue flight, in any scenario (attack, bombing, etc.) and if the plane type "any" is chosen... Not sure if I understand. You are sure the custom plane set is different from the default one? So it picks random planes from the default set, but never from the custom plane set, right?

 

3) Also in dogfight... Known issue. It's simply not possible to start with running engines in Dogfight mode. Perhaps I should hide this option.

 

4) Suggestion for transport mission: I'll add it to backlog. Without the airfield an AI or autopilot will never land there, but perhaps that isn't necessary. When I created this mission type it was quite feasible to take-off again, but after the surface roughness changes this has become more or less impossible. I'm afraid I can't really fix this. I'll see if I can use your improvements!

The chosen custom planes will be taken from your generator, every thing works fine here, but not the "role" of the set which ist chosen.
Means no matter what kind of mission type is set in the mission generator, at mission begin it always gives me the planes that are in the attackers and bombers table to choose from.

Let's say its an Transport mission with default plane set, it won't show the Ju52 as an available plane, just all the bombers and the attack planes like FW190 or the Me110.

For reproducing I added just one different plane to the different plane tables and regardless wich mission type was selected, it always just had the planes of the Attack and Bomber table (if "any" is set for blue flight).

Same for blue flight on the allied side.

No problem, I can set "On Runway" in the "Start in Air"-column of the airfields plane dialog manually in BOS Mission editor to start with running engines.

For AI to fulfill the mission it makes sense to keep the Airstip.

I just was irritated why the object was completed while i was still flying, then I saw landing lights of an ambient AI planes between some trees.  
So I decided to delete the Airstrip airfield.  

Funny thing, I find it "easier" now to take off from offside the airfields because the ground doesn't suck in the (heavier) planes tires that much then before the roughness changes, sure you still need a little bit of luck to start again, but with the Ju 52 and A 20 it is quite often possible, I hope the C-47 will be able to land and start again too.
I think everyone has different preferences here  .

 

Edit: In the file I attached above is something wrong this one here is for and worked in the V50.2

Yes, no problems with it. Running engines in dogfight missions work for me (ingame host) and the clients via Ingame server and also with a dedicated server.
In this Testmission, generated with V50.2 I set the (axis) multi-engine planes to  "On Runway" and left the single engine planes as they are.
So all multi-engine planes like the Me 110 are starting with running engines. Dogfight.zip

Cool, I always assumed it wasn't possible, never checked. Anyway, I fixed it now so runway (engines on) start is now also supported in next version.

Great, thank you.

About the ambient AI completes the transport/rescue mission object.

If the airstrip is needed to let blue flight AI finish the task, it might be a solution to set the Complex Trigger conditions from "countries" to "objects" (types of aircraft, like in the 2nd template.zip or the mission above), downside of this is that if a player choose to set other planes than listet there in a custom plane set he/she wont be able to complete the mission.
On he other hand that was the reason why i changed it, to prevent e.g. Me 109 flying comrades from completing the transport/rescue mission.  

[352ndOscar]

I thought it was something I was doing, but, after reading above - maybe not.  So, I had installed v52 and tried to generate a basic bombing mission for the Arras Map.  Got similar errors from above so i packaged the config and mission log for your use......  No problems with v51.

Thanks. This is a bug that happens when you select train or vehicles as target in a Dogfight mode. I'll fix it.

Thanks for the information (post July 20).

 

In fact we like to have AI in our camp (but not in our flight) because it leaves the doubt friend / foe.

It also makes more life in the environment.

So the 'Gasoline 1%' option still interests us !

Ok, cool. But if you tick ' AI ambient aircraft' it will also generate friendly flights.

Hi SYN_Vander,

 

I have a problem in the FC missions, generated with V52.

Could you please have a look at the attached mission, config and log file? 

 

Sometimes I get the mission "completed" but other times the mission "in progress" despite shooting all enemy planes + an enemy balloon.

 

What is also puzzling, the WP's going backwards when leaving the combat zone. I've never seen this with previous versions of the mission generator.

 

When the mission says "in progress", a successful landing back at home base qualifies the mission as "failed". I thought this had been solved in previous versions?

 

Thank you for your help.

Sometimes I get the mission "completed" but other times the mission "in progress" despite shooting all enemy planes + an enemy balloon.

 

What is also puzzling, the WP's going backwards when leaving the combat zone. I've never seen this with previous versions of the mission generator.

 

When the mission says "in progress", a successful landing back at home base qualifies the mission as "failed". I thought this had been solved in previous versions?

 

Thank you for your help.

Yeah, there is definitely a bug in the way the waypoints are targeted. The idea was that the fighters (this is an intercept mission) will cycle between waypoints: 2,3,4,3,2,3,4.. etc. That's probably why you see waypoints going 'backwards'. But that cycle should stop when a) target destroyed or b) timeout (for intercept 20 min).

 

The scoring logic seems okay in the mission editor. You need 4 aircraft destroyed (it's the whole of the enemy blue flight; depends on difficulty setting) and then the mission success should fire.

However, it only counts destroyed planes within a radius of 15 km around the intercept location. Is it possible you engaged them outside this circle?

 

The best way is if I can count /trigger the individual planes regardless of position. I have done that now for trains, ships and vehicles so I might apply that here as well.
