Lt. Bruno Stachel is back in the air again with Mission 03. I decided to do this mission before mission 02 because it is harder to create in our flight sim. Mission 02 will follow.

Lt. Stachel shot down a SE.5a in mission 02, though couldn’t confirm the kill. Controversially he was accused of not helping his wingman, Lt. Fabian Shultz, when he got into trouble, then was shot down and killed. It was becoming obvious to both the C.O. Hptm. Heidemann and Lt. Willy Von Klugermann that Stachel was a ruthless pilot only interested in receiving the coveted ‘Blue Max’. Willy Klugermann confronted ‘Stachel’ saying he was becoming a ‘Cobra’!

Read the mission instructions carefully, I had to make a few changes to make it work properly. Can somebody point me in the right direction to get the accurate skins for this mission?

(PS watch the video if you have it, it is a classic!)

Kind of confusing, an enemy set as friendly; you'll be credited with a 'friendly' kill.

I had to make the DH4 'a friendly' because Lt. Stachel had 'captured it' by severely wounding the rear gunner, then forcing the British pilot to fly back to their base. After not having his first 'kill' credited to him, because he couldn't find the aircraft wreckage, he was determined to show his Staffel that he had captured this aircraft! Sadly what happened, he shot the DH4 down over his airfield when the rear gunner went to fire on him. (If you have a DVD copy of the film you will see exactly what happened)

I know this is a bit confusing, though I couldn't make the mission work any other way. If somebody knows a better way of making it work, please let me know? I hope this explanation helps, 'Jollyjack' - all other 'Blue Max' missions I make will be normal. Mission 02 is being tested now. (I now have some 'Blue Max' skins, thanks to our great skin makers)

Pity there's no RE-8 which would have looked good in this mission. Have to have a crack at this pronto. Thanks.

Change it's properties with a Behavior command?
