A request for the devs

Hey all!

 

First of all, I apologize if this has been discussed in the past (failed to find anything using the forum search) or if this is an inapporpriate place for this question.

 

I was wondering if it is possible to bring back the CFS3 quickcombat mission set-up ability that was native in the CFS3 shell. On the side of playing the awesome campaign in OFF3, I miss the ability for quickly creating the random skirmish over any area I please as was seen in OFF phases 1 and 2 (and CFS3). Is such a thing possible again with all the changes that have been made with OFF3?

 

Thank you for your time and consideration, it is greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers!

hi Nordo,

 

Workshop, button bottom left.. then after launching a QC in the manager you get CFS3 QC. Note your pilot can die in this mode, so make sure you don;t use a favourite campaign pilot. There is no option for this mode to keep pilot alive.

And I think there is even the good old "Quick Combat" in workshop?

Directly to start from there, giving you a menue for choice of airfield, wheather, altitude, aircraft etc.?

Or is that gone since the later patches - not sure. Try it out, Nordo.

 

Ooops! Reading all again, I think, that's what Pol meant anyway. Gnihihihiii!!!

Thank you for the instructions all, but it seems that when the game loads up the CFS3 shell, the only mission it has available is the quick mission perameters that the offmanager creates (ie. the nation/plane/location that's preset from the offmanager's "quick combat" screen). Also, in the CFS3 shell, there are 3 tabs in the mission directory: quick combat, mission, and campaign. When entering the cfs3 shell alone, there's only the predefined mission in the "mission" tab and the other two are empty. I'm hoping to use the original quick combat tab where one could select any aircraft regardless of nation, altitude, weather, and location just like in the older versions.

 

Maybe i have to put in some kind of quick combat template mission file for the cfs3.exe shell to detect and have available for that quick combat tab... any ideas?

 

Thanks for everyones help..

Hey all,

 

I had some time today so i thought i'd give the whole 'shabooiee' a reinstall. Sure enough, now when i click the CFS QC from the workshop page, I get exactly what I was looking for. I must have messed something up when i was playing with the missions I suppose. I apologize for wasting everyone's time. :P

 

 

 

My Phase III just arrived a few days ago, been playing Phase II up till now (which explains all my questions as of late).

 

I am absolutely loving BHaH! I was deciding between this and Rise of Flight, and i'm bloody glad I'm staring at the box for OFF right now! :D

 

 

[PS: I take it night ops have been removed from this version? I have yet to encounter a night mission..]

Uncleal thanks for helping guys but whilst Vista has it's own issues, CFS3 QC usually still runs. Why do you keep telling people it will blow up or destroy something? Can you tone it down some?

 

"With VISTA . . . CFS3 QC is a big time NO-NO.... The Developers knew this, so it was hidden away to avoid accidental exposure."

 

This is untrue stop saying this.

 

We don't want you to use CSF3 QC to fly OFF no, there's a perfectly good enhanced OFF QC now, however some people still want it, so it's there just in case but it is NOT a key part of OFF.
