Awaiting dumb answers (not really) to a dumb question ...

[jollyjack]

In the generated missions by career and other IL2 stuff like AQMB there are often a lot of non linked timers with 0s etc called _DUDE. Why?

 

 

And yes, they have nothing to do with Jeff Bridges BTW.

Be careful about trying to glean information about proper mission building from generated missions...you can learn a few things, (sometimes) but you can also be led astray and there is generally always a better way to accomplish even the things you could use (like AAA for instance)

 

In other words, don't worry about the stray timers. They're obviously not piped into anything, thus a non-functional artifact of the generated file.

DUDE is an acronym for something I don't even remember any more. One of the Devs probably knows, but I doubt they will bother to spell it out since it doesn't make any difference. They have been there a looooong time. 

 

I did learn how to set up a FAC from dissecting the QMB missions though... sort of.

Forward Air Controller. Designates targets for your flight and calls them out on the radio while setting a target command for the player.

 

See, the only dumb question is the one you didn't ask, haha
