possible to add waypoints to the flightpath?

[Jeroen83]

Hi Vander, is there an easy way to add waypoints to the flightpath in between the take off- and landing waypoints? Sorry if this is obvious to many of you, I'm not a ME expert at all...

If you mean in the FMB (mission editor), then yeah it's pretty easy if you know what you are doing . If you mean the EMG, then no as I would need to spend a lot of time on a better GUI.

I mean the FMB indeed, as I’m trying to add some elements to a mission created with the EMG. 
 

The FMB is, as I understand, quite powerful. However you have to be somewhat of a programmer to understand its merits. I don’t have the skills and time to be able to make missions.

 

However I think that IL2 rheinland map is lacking a good set of single / coop player campaigns that it deserves. I miss a couple of campaigns focused on the battle of the Scheldt, Market Garden and the Ardennes. 
 

A series of missions created with EMG come very close to creating a campaign. It is easy to anyone to alter certain elements of them in the FMB, such as the location of targets (can be easily moved without much FMB knowledge), weather and time.

 

The only elements that EMG generated missions are lacking to create a full quality campaign are (imho):

- ability to add some more custom moving scenery, like moving jeeps and landing aircraft around the airfield, flares shooting

- custom radio messages that are triggered media files

- ability to add waypoints

 

Would it be possible to make available one example mission that has these elements grouped, so that they can be easily copied/pasted to EMG generated missions ? This would make advanced campaign creation available to us “light” FMB users, and hopefully generate a vast production line of quality campaigns.

 

Thanks Vander for the EMG. It’s incredibly powerful and, to me, a decisive tool for IL2.

It took me around 4-5 houres to learn it well enough to edit emg missions to what i want them to be. ?

I am nowhere near a programer, im a special education worker ? 

Its worth atleast trying to learn. i have almost as much fun making missions as i have playing them ?

Maybe start here?
