new features for future patches

[shinobi2204 1]

Would it be possible for the Devs (or some clever chappie) to put in a quickfight mode (a la CFS and IL-2) where you pick a plane to fly, a plane to fight and a location. And maybe a freeflight mode where we can just admire the planes without getting our tailplanes blown off.

 

If there is somewhere to make these suggestion officially let me know.

you can make a missions floder if you havent already done so and add this in make as meny copies and varents as you want. and enjoy. after you can upload missions here to and modify as you want.

[shinobi2204 1]

OK I will try this, but you must admit it would be easier with a quickfight menu??

 

And is there an official suggestion forum or e-mail address? I know I sound like a pain but this game has a lot of potential and I would just like to see it turn into one of the best sims around, giving as many people as many options as they want,

Go to the Flight subdir, extract the file instantaction.ini from the MissionData.cat file.

Edit the file. You can change the number of planes, types, etc.

This is the ini file used in the instant action mode

[Air Rage 0]

I always thought the single missions where pretty quick to set up. Actually now that i've thought about it, it takes just about the same amount of time to set up a quick mission in IL-2:FB as it does in SFP1. The only thing that takes longer is if you want to customize you're stores, and even then you can always take the default payload for the mission type.

Shinobi2204:

 

Since Strategy First has fullfilled their obligation to the Developers, all technical support and suggestions can be sent to Thirdwire at this address:

 

support@thirdwire.com

 

TK and crew are busy testing the 2nd patch, so give them time to address any problems or suggestions you may have. The email will be read, and you should get a reply. Until then, Ranger is correct with the INSTANT ACTION ini file. Besides....hopefully we'll all be airborne flying Multiplayer and you can choose whatever aircraft then!

Both points are valid, but I do like to be able to choose my enemy without having to edit mission files etc
