PWCG and Normandy map

[Gil57]

Hi Pat Wilson,

 

I made a coop. campaign including 3 new free french squadrons: 340sqn (SpitIX), 341sqn (SpitIX) and 342sqn (A20).

 

-This campaign occurred during the month before Overlord (may 1944), but the map for this period was the summer map including all the landing strips created by the allied forces, instead of the Overlord Normandy map. Is there a specific reason for that?

 

-Some attack missions were against airfields (usually empty) and attacking IA planes usually didn't find any target to bomb and chose to get back home after a tour in the middle of ennemy flak, just as if no target was defined. Is there something to do to fix that?

 

-Is it possible to quit the campaign for a few weeks also in cooperative mode, in order to come back when the squadron is relocated in France?

 

-Is it possible to transfer pilots for a service (Free french) to another (RAF for example) in cooperative mode?

 

Thank you for your great software and thanks in advance for any answer

While any user is welcome to do whatever they like to PWCG, once PWCG is altered you're on your own (mostly).  I'll try to provide answers but I will not take the hours it might take to resolve issues.

 

To advance time, try taking leave.  

To transfer pilots, PWCG offers two mechanisms.  For coop use this one:

Personnel -> Administer Pilots -> select a pilot and then press transfer

PWCG supports transfer of pilots between services as long as the services are on the same side.
