Starting a mission in the game from a certain point for testing ?

[jollyjack]

Starting a mission half-ways through for testing especially on long complicated missions still not possible?

Probably asked before, maybe even by me ..........

Usually i use time scale for a speedup, but on long 'flights' and complicated setups its just not fast enough.

 

Does any one found a clever trick?

I move the player flight, place it where I want the mission to start from, and make it an air start. Then I save it as a test mission under a different name. If I have any spawn check zones before that, I just move them. It takes maybe 5 minutes, way less than flying the whole mission. I actually just did that with a mission I am working on being towed across the Straight of Dover by a C-47 in the dark.

I do what Jaeger dose. Or I make a “test” aircraft and hook it into all of the same logic. Often a separate tester for different sequences. Then activate them as needed.
