Sky Captain Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Hey all, got a quick question. Is there by any chance a way to get addon planes into the single missions included with the game? (i.e., the 1on1 missions, Carrier Take-off, etc.) I'd just love to take up a supersonic modern fighter against a MiG-17. (yeah, I'm unfair like that :p) Thanks in advance. Quote

Sky Captain Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) Yeah, I have. What I mean is, is there a way to add aircraft to the dropdown list of planes you can pick to fly (at the loadout screen) when you join a mission. Edited June 13, 2006 by Sky Captain Quote
+Dave Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Yeah, I have. What I mean is, is there a way to add aircraft to the dropdown list of planes you can pick to fly (at the loadout screen) when you join a mission. Well yes how else do you pick the plane you want to fly. You are going to have to explain it better you lost me. You cant pick what you fly against. The sim does that for you. Quote
Sky Captain Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) I guess I should better explain it... You know that dropdown list in the loadout menu, just above the loadout picture of the plane currently selected? Is there any way to add other planes to that list? It usually has the F-4 series, the Crusader, the Super Sabre, and (IIRC) the two A-7 variants, or (I believe) the attack planes for Strike/CAS/Armed Recon/Etc. missions. If this is still ambiguous-like, I'll try to get some pictures. (sorry about the confusion) Edited June 14, 2006 by Sky Captain Quote
+Dave Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 You can by installing more planes to your install. What planes did you want to add? Quote
eightlein Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 You can by installing more planes to your install. What planes did you want to add? Dave??? Are you ok???? (LMAO)damn near had me in tears...I could just hear the softness in your voice.... Quote
+Dave Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I am just trying to understand what he is asking. Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I know what he's talking about, and think it's a good question. So, you go to singles and pick out an A-10, fire up a strike mission in, say Germany. In singles it's cool, as you can pick which aircraft you want as wingman, or yourself even. But the drop-down list is limited. It seems to depend on the type of mission you chose, the aircraft, or something, but never refelcts the entire gamut of aircraft you have installed. Figuring out how to widen that variety would be rockin'! Quote
Sky Captain Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 This is what I be talkin' aboot, USAFMTL: Still unsure what I mean? :P Quote
eightlein Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 You mean like this F-15???...the little sob, still turned inside and gave me a burst prior to me going to Zone 5, getting some distance and taking him with a sparrow. you can edit the mission in question, But you have to have the AC you want already in your AC folders. example:F4J vs Mig17 Open the mission with notepad and make the changes you need.

Sky Captain Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) That's something like what I'm thinking of. Thanks eightlin. I wonder if you could duplicate the [AircraftMissionxxx] and add more than just the one jet. Edited June 14, 2006 by Sky Captain Quote
eightlein Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) That's something like what I'm thinking of. Thanks eightlin. I wonder if you could duplicate the [AircraftMissionxxx] and add more than just the one jet. If your gonna dup it, make your own mission. See the Tutorial on the mission editor. And check with the veteran mission builders in here. See some of the missions posted already and that will help you out. Good Luck. Oh and one more thing.......never, ever try and turn with a Mig...LOL Edited June 14, 2006 by eightlein Quote
Sky Captain Posted June 14, 2006 Author Posted June 14, 2006 Just tried it... No go... Huh, I guess it's not possible (at least not without a lot of digging trhough files) to add more than one plane to 'The List'. Kind of stinks, no? Quote
eightlein Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 well sir, dont know what to tell ya. Depending upon what AC you have DL'd in addition to the stock AC it obviously does work. In my own SF depending on the type of mission I choose CAS, Strike etc.... "my list" shows a UH-1B, F-15C, F-5E, EA-6B among others to choose from. The same for WOV. Now if your talking WOE I cant tell ya, but see no reason why it wouldnt work there also. Quote
+Dave Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Adding a plane from that list depends on the year the aircraft was availible and the mission you are on. I do it all the time. Quote
