Selectable aircraft

[Spacebomber]

Hello Everyone!

 

Is it possible to select the player's plane before the mission, like in the quick missions? And how?

 

Thanks in advance,

I presume under 'Mission Properties', you have dogfight selected.

If you create a mission with single selected as your mission type, then you will have only the plane you selected for the mission available.

If you wanted to fly a different plane in that mission you'd have to go back to the ME and change it.

Anything saved as single should be selectable under 'Missions', in the main screen.

I have single selected.

So I can't change the plane like in the quick missions?

[Zooropa_Fly]

I don't think so.

You'd have to re-save it as a deathmatch mission.

It should then be saved in '...data/multiplayer/dogfight' folder.

You run it by selecting MP/Dogfight/Create Server in-game.

 

Note : In the ME you'd also have to utilise AF's and assign whatever planes you wish to them.

Ok. I don't understand some things. What is ME, MP,  AF?

 

[Zooropa_Fly]

Sorry, I thought you were making your own missions in the Mission Editor.. since we're in the Mission Making section

 

ME = Mission Editor

MP = Multi-Player

AF = Air Field.

 

If you're just playing existing missions, then no you can't select any plane.

Stuck with the one provided.

I am making my own missions in the mission editor, I just didn't understand some things.

So you are saying that if I make a deatmach mission then I can select my aircraft?

[Zooropa_Fly]

Yes you can, in the Airfield properties box.. click on 'planes'.

You can then add the planes you wish to be available, along with various properties.

By running the 'deathmatch' mission as I mentioned above, it's just like MP if you've ever tried it.

Map loads up, you click on an AF, and select from the plane set you added in the ME.
