Practice Mission - Sopwith Camel

[GSHWK_Houndstone_Hawk]

Overview:
I fly Allied, predominantly RAF and I fly in VR. As incredible and immersive as VR is, it does has obviously have its downsides. Reading notes, watching tutorials etc all have to be done 'outside' of Virtual Reality. But not any more.
I've aimed to create aircraft specific Sandbox-like Training Missions that are aimed to be a seen as a massive improvement over the default in game 'Quick Mission'
whilst at the same time, trying to surround the player with as much ambience & atmosphere as possible.

Designed to either help the player get used to a specific aircraft or as a simple refresher. Each training mission will include a primary objective as well as numerous secondary objectives, in the form of both ground AND air.
A wingman or flight will usually fly alongside you (and as you will be 'flight lead', this will give you practice in issuing orders, formations etc).

This mission has been designed with 'random' encounters at the forefront. Waypoint encounters will be random in aircraft types, the number of that same aircraft within the flight, starting direction & height.

Whilst these missions have been designed and created for VR, they do work perfectly well in 2D.

 

This Mission:
Practice Mission - Sopwith Camel
Welcome to the Goshawk Squadron. You are Goshawk Leader, commanding a 4-ship Camel flight on today's errands.
Choose from a simple 2 waypoint Combat Air Patrol over the front, facing random encounters of Central Powers air opposition, or a Balloon attack over the ferociously war torn front line, expecting random encounters of air defence as well as threats on the ground.
Or have a crack at ground pounding in the Camel as reports circulate, of a high ranking enemy dignitary leaving the town on Arras in a hurry. He's probably well guarded but this 'is' Goshawk Squadron!

 

To Install:

Place the 'Practice_Mission_Sopwith_Camel' & the 'Practice_Mission_Sopwith_Camel_Media'folders into your default 'Cooperative' folder.

An example of the correct path:

IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles > data > Multiplayer > Cooperative > Practice_Mission_Sopwith_Camel

(and the media folder: IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles > data > Multiplayer > Cooperative > Practice_Mission_Sopwith_Camel_Media).

Ensure the Hud is enabled ('H') for onscreen plates and messages. Make sure that the 'Show HUD by default' box is 'checked' in Flight Interface settings ingame.

Advisories and known issues:
Press 'H' (Show/Hide HUD) if you no longer wish to have the tutorial plates obstructing your view but remember to turn the HUD back on to receive onscreen messages etc.
