Wanting to take the step into the Mission editor after Clod - help on 2 missions please


Recommended Posts

OK, I hope you'll take pity on a newbie on the BoX mission editor, so here's what I am after. 

Genuinely even now I have never opened the full mission editor in any version of BoX. I have played around with and had reasonable success in the FMB of Clod but I really have no clue (currently) with BoX. 

So with that in mind I would like to try and create 2-3 very simple missions in BoX as follows. 

4xP-51's flying around 8000m in formation, Finger Four layout over an overcast sky. 

 

2: Same as above but now escorting 20 A20 bombers (until we get the B24 :) ), the bombers around 500m below. 

 

3:  Same as 2 but now with Flak

 

4: Same as 3 but here come the Luftwaffe, a selection of 109's and 190's attack the bombers, the Mustangs engage and the action ensues. 

 

 

........ 

 

I know this is relatively simple in Clod but I hear the FME in BoX is a challenge from the outset and I don't know how easy it is to create any of the above? 

 

Can historic formations be created, can specific skins be allocated to each aircraft in the formations, just two of a multitude of questions I need to begin with. 

 

Cheers, MP

It's always simple when you know how to do it. And it's always a challenge when you want that a new ME work as the old one you used.?

 

You can do all you ask with the ME of IL2.

 

Have a look on Jim's guide. Learn the basis, and ask if you need more information.

 

I suggest you to learn by doing a flight of 3 planes starting on the runway which will take off and land. With that simple exercise, you'll see all you need to understand the editor.

 

Keep in mind that you use some bricks. You have the brick : plane, command take off, command attack, etc...

 

For all you want you have to use a brick and link it to the other brick.

Thanks for the reply. I look forward to getting into the basics over the next couple of weeks ?

FYI, there are more resources under "Mission Editor and Multiplayer Server Guides" in this post.

In addition to Jim's guide, I have learnt a lot from Sketch's video guides. They are useful to see how he uses the editor efficiently, not just the way he wires up the blocks.
