Update 31.08.2022:

14 Single Player missions for a career with EMG v64 / Rzhev front line flown:

-all missions playable

-short to medium distances to targets, no time accelaration required

-90% with enemy contact

-new defined targets seem to work

(With the default planes settings of v64 you contact in march 42 very much british (Hurricane) and US (P39, P40) planes over the eastern front and only few russian planes. Because of that I deactivated the P39 and restricted the Hurricane / P40 to fighter.

On the russian side I changed the first date of the Lagg3 from 05/42 to 03/42)

 

Update 08.07.2022:

Hi All,

New version V02 for emg v64:

-additional targets / objects (vehicles, tanks, artillery, aa-guns, boats, ...

-5 missions tested with AI autopilot

 

Pending / To do later:

-2 new airfields to be added (german: Dugino + 1 russian airfield

-buildings in new northern part of battle field

-additional trains? (there are already some in the test missions)

-optimization of new added ground objects, they are working already but maybe some are not defined acccording Vanders requirements

 

Best Regards

 

 

Update 06.07.2022:

-3 test missions flown:

2 x german fighter intercept, 1xgerman fighter reconnaissence, all with target distance close, all missions playable with enemy contact and interesting air combat.

-6 missions tested with AI autopilot:

-3xgerman: ground attack, bombing, all missions with enemy contact

-3xrussian: intercept, bombing, ground attack, all missions with enemy contact and playable

 

Issues:

-Because parts of  the Rzhev area is a bit west of the original emg areas and the Rzhev area is biger in north-south direction there are of course currently not everywhere enough targets, these targets and some new airfields have to be added in future.

Due to this lack of targets EMG is not always able to create the mission: The blue message Generating... stays for a longer time and Re-saving (red) does not appear. But this is absolut no problem, you just end EMG, restart EMG and change the Scenario parameters a bit and try it again, normally it works.

Solution:

What I found out: due to the lack of targets:

It is better to select for ground attack and bombing flights random targets and random target distance. With this settings EMG should find mission targets.

It is normally possible to flight short intercept mission with target distance close, enemy attack / bomber flights should use random targets or airfield target and start in the air: Plane Start: Near the target.

 

Update 03.07.2022: I have added the new Line D in the maps.json for EMG v64

I was not able to add additional targets, ground objects, airfields due to limited available time..

But was already able to create some missions with the template and flew 1 mission.

But this is only a draft for Testing. Please backup all of your original files before you use front line D.

Rzhev would be great to have in EMG, good for both Early and late Moscow battles!

What I meant was that I tested 14 single player missions that I created with my settings with EMGv64.

If you want to create Rhzev missions with EMGv64 too you have to:

-have a clean EMGv64 installation

(still available for download)

-backup the data and the template folder of EMGv64

-download my ...V02-line-D.zip

-copy my maps.json to the EMGv64 .../data  folder

-copy my CoopTemplate_MOSCOW.Mission and CoopTemplate_MOSCOW.eng to the EMGv64 .../template  folder

 

Start EMGv64 and you can select now the new front line "Battle of Rhzev" in the Moscow map (see screenshot above)

I suggest to use mission dates between ca. march 1942 and early 1943

You can create now missions with your preferred settings.

If you have problems with the settings please contact me.

-I have zipped the 14 missions that I have flown:

-German Fighter missions in march 1942

-ca.10 - 20 planes per mission

-Some missions contain an additional mod that I created some years before, that shows from time to time the position of enemy planes / german subtitles.
