My mistake...

[Majick]

I made the mistake of pre-ordering this title without reading the details carefully enough.  No single player campaign?  Very disappointing, especially when one of the key successes of Rise of Flight was it's campaign.

 

Buyer beware I guess, I should have reseearched it more carefully.

"PWCG 7.0.0

Flying Circus 

- One line but it's quite a bit of work "

It means that you can download this 3rd party application called PWCG (Pat Wilson's Campaign Generator) and use it to fly Career in FC.

BTW - one of the key successes of Rise of Flight, its Career, came out way after the original game was released as well.

[Majick]

Ah cool, thanks v much

[Gretsch_Man]

There are two different versions available, PWCG for BoS 7.1.0 and PWCG for FC 7.1.0. For this title, you of course will need the second one.

[Majick]

Thanks guys at least theres something to be going on with until a proper built in campaign is developed,

[71st_AH_Rob_XR-R]

I, and I think many others here, would argue that PWGC is what the "proper built in campaign" should look like.  

 

I don't bother with the stock campaign in BoS, nor did I in RoF, but prefer PWCG.  Keep in mind that only part of the capability of PWGC has been implemented with 7.1.0 and it should be back to the full glory that it attained in RoF soon(TM)

Yep, I reckon although it's not 'built in' PWCG is very flexible and gives at least a good end product as the inbuilt campaign in BoS. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, though, so it's worth trying out. It's great for generating multiplayer coop missions too.

71st AH guys, funnily enough I was just logging on to add an edit that maybe PWGC  is more of a proper campaign, so I take your point entirely. 

 

Out of interest there doesn't seem to be much going on on the ground right now on the Arras map.  Is the imminent big update expected to improve on that?

Look and see for yourself. The big update is no longer "imminent". ?

Well I just saw a WW2 American artillery piece and crew.  Does that count?

 

I'm wondering perhaps if the update happened after I fired up the game or something..

It updates automatically before the game starts.

Takes a good 20 mins or so for me.

You can't miss it !

[Majick]

Well, The Bodenplatte campaign is there, but when I do a PWCG Flying Circus mission there are no ground units that I can see except for that one US WW2 gun

 

Do I need to generate a new campaign maybe?

Pat will need to release an update for today's updated FC.

[JGr2/J5_Baeumer]

And there will need to be a parser update before all targets register as well.
