Ok. I don't think it's a big problem ;), because it's probably just a matter of setting the mission type in the general settings. Ok, I'll do it myself, thanks!

To convert missions to coop there are just some easy steps. Unfortunatly im not at my pc now so il try to explain remembering the name of everything! First, to make the missions apear in the list of missions available when hosting a server you need to put them in a folder called multiplayer instead of the campaign forlder. I think there is a coop folder inside the multiplayer folder. 

For the missions you need to inside the editor set the planes you want to be available to average or other rank but not player. Then inside the advanced option for the plane there shoud be a box you need to tick called something like cooperative start.

The 11th. I'm afraid the defense is too strong in the last mission. I've done it a few times and I always fail.

I think you're supposed to die on the last mission ? just kidding - or not?  Keep trying.  You might succeed!

Maybe the next, something for Li-2 or C-47? ?

I don't think so.  I do like those planes in their roles but I'd rather be the escort fighter protecting them.  However, the Li-2 in the bomber role could be interesting.

I have just tried to complete the last mission, in previous missions I arm with rockets which I use them to take out searchlights and A/A before I attack the main target, but with the last mission although armed with rockets they will not fire when I press the select button on my joystick, I have tried all the previous mission and rockets fire no problem.

So I'm not sure if this is programed to happen in the last mission ?

I do not ever do anything to affect weapons choice.  I believe it should be a player's option to choose which weapons he wants.

Have you tried rockets in a quick mission to see if they work?

Yes that was the first thing I did, I also went back and flew the previous mission armed with rockets and all fired no problem, I will fly the last mission again and see what happens, if the problem happens again I shall arm with bombs and the wing mounter m/g . I may have to fly a round about way and attack the truck convoy from altitude and from a different direction. but thanks anyway for a great little campaign.

CzechTexan, 
The missions in this campaign clearly bear your signature (straightforward, solidly programmed with a wide variety of targets). Take-offs (with often overloaded) U-2VS were always a challenge, as were the landings.
It was a lot of fun playing this campaign. Thank you for that!
Note: I think that for the last two missions (10 and 11) the mission description doesn't seem to match with the mission target programming. Please take a look. Clarified - both missions have the proper description!

Hello Ulricus!  Thanks for the nice feedback.

I looked at the last two missions and, at first, I did not understand what you are trying to tell me.  But I think it is about the pre-flight map showing vehicles as target.

  

Mission 10 orders say to destroy the bridge at Il'inskoe and the plane's target is the bridge there.

On the pre-flight map, it does show "vehicles" as a target but the orders are to destroy the bridge.

Mission 11 says the bridge is destroyed and the target is vehicles at Ilinskoe.

Thx for your reply and please let me explain my observation in more detail:

• In mission 10, I attacked the bridge several times and even with very precise bomb hits, I could not destroy it. In my desperation, I attacked then the vehicle convoy on the road in front of the bridge - and it was immediately an "Objective successful" -> FINISH MISSION on green.
• In mission 11, I attacked the bridge again and I received immediately with a mediocre bomb hit an "Objective successful" -> FINISH MISSION on green.

My campaign version is the recent one which you published in the forum, which I run through the Mission Editor -> "Tools" -> "Resave all missions in Folder" recently.

Maybe I'm missing some details or I'm simply wrong, but I definitely don't want to cause confusion. Your campaign is just great - and no matter what, I was able to finish it.

In mission 10, the 100 kg bombs are capable of destroying the bridge.  Did you use smaller bombs instead?  Perhaps you dropped bombs at too low a height for no explosion?

At least you were ingenious to attack vehicles which gave you "success"!  Good thing for your adaptability.

 

In mission 11, the bridge is already destroyed.  It is not possible to get "successful" because it is not a target.  Perhaps you repeated Mission 10 and thought it was 11?
