Questionabout customizing flight and aircraft limits

[jpanside]

For the most part, PWCG does exactly what I want it to do and it's an absolute blast. I have over 300 hours in it!

 

But there's one thing I'm having trouble with. I can get the enemy to spawn only 1 flight, but for some reason I can't limit that flight to one plane. Sometimes I want to fly a mission where there's only 1 flight and 1 enemy bomber or 1 enemy fighter. But whenever I set it to 1, it always spawns 2. Am I doing something wrong or is the minimum # of aircraft in a given flight always 2? Any way to get around this? Thanks!

Can someone please help?

IIRC there is an additional option of something like "patrol additional AC". Have you changed this to 0?

100%. I did change to 0 and patrol minimum to 1. But it ALWAYS spawns 2 no matter what...

Anyone?

Might have to look into this specific use case.  No good answer off the top of my head.

I don't want to take up your precious time! Please only look into it when you have time. I am asking for flights that include only 1 enemy aircraft because I want to make my missions geared more towards dogfighting 1v1. The reason why I desire this so much is because the friendly AI is absolutely atrocious in IL2:GB that it completely ruins the experience for me. Flying with AI wingmen is a headache and complete downer, I hope people understand where I am coming from. So I'd rather fly on my own and face enemy planes in a 1v1 manner, especially enemy fighters. I am not sure if this is possible though, perhaps the game hardcodes it so that each flight MUST have a minimum of 2 aircraft? The dream would be to have 5 enemy flights that are composed of 1 enemy aircraft each that I can run into on my mission and dogfight individually.

Please let me know if this ever happens. Thank you!

FlightSizeCalculator::adjustMinMaxPlanesInFlight sets a minimum of 2 (and a max of 8).

That's why! Haha. Now I understand the issue! Thank you! Is it possible to set it to 1? Like if I edit the files myself?

Only if you want to/are able to build the source. Unfortunately, adjusting this requires a code change - I was mostly posting that for Pat's benefit should he want to get into it.

Yeah I don't want to touch anything that is Pat's. It's okay! I can't complain with what is already here!
