Alexander51 Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 What a gigantic machine!!! Thanks again A-Team <S> Craigster Quote
+sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Got it! Thanks again for all these great aircraft. Now how do I get this beast to appear in a mission? Quote
Gr.Viper Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 If it's a bomber then it might show up in Intercept type missions. Just make sure the beast is available at the mission date you set. Quote
+sinbad Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I tried that, but no joy yet. Just the DFWs. I was hoping there was a mission generator somewhere. Quote
Gr.Viper Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Mission files are editable by Notepad. Make a copy on one of the missions in Mission folder, and edit it switching enemy's flight to the plane you want. Just search for the plane type they were originally flying(a couple of entries) and edit those... Quote
Guest Charles Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Sinbad: Copy the following text and paste it into Notepad, then save it as Spad13vStaaken.MSN (or something similar) and copy that file to your Third Wire\WWI\Missions folder. Thia will give you a simple intercept mission in a Spad XIII against three Staakens.

+HerGr Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Size=3 and PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT You are a suicide pilot! One fighter against 3 R VI Quote
+sinbad Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Do not attack from 6 or 12 or you will be toast. Wingmen are very helpful in diluting the defensive fire. Slashing co-ordinated runs with at least one wingman from the sides work best. Keep the gunners trying to pivot to hit you, and use all speed you can. There is no reason to keep shooting until you tear off a wing. You may get lucky and flame an engine, but cumulative damage will bring the monster down. sinbad Quote
