User Made Missions?

[+ext]

After installing Hat in the Ring I cannot access any user made missions no matter what folder I install them in. How to you go about looking for these missions. Is anybody else having this problem. This is happening after a clean install of the game. Any ideas would be appreciated.

missions can go into either historical,,what if or training folders, all located in your mission folder

 

to get into a mission in any of these folders, this is what i do.

 

start off...click on the multiplayer option..at next screen just hit start/go fly

 

that should take you to the window with a mission and multiplayer ribbon.

 

If you select the mission medal you dont get the option of picking which side you fly for in the mission or the plane you fly. You are automatically assignd the plane in the mission that is designated as the "player" aircraft. There are three tabs on the flyout that are hard to read...i think they say something like campaign, training....and i forget the third. These correspond in the mission in your Historcal, training and what if folders inside your mission folder. I forget which folder is which tab. Pick a mission, and hit fly

 

if you pick the multiplay medal, and then select host game, and click on the "mission" radial at the top of the flyout, then you get a window that lumps ALL the missions in your historical, training and what if folder. you also get some settings such as unlimited ammo, targeting aids,,under the realism button. chose how you want to play the game, and then hit next. DESELECT publish my game in cfsmatch, or something close to that. give the game a name,,and hit start. You will get to chose which side you want to fly for (but,,,some mission only have planes with cockpits on one side,,not both)

 

next screen you select the plane you want to fly,,,click on it, and hit switch to position, then hit ready to fly, then hit fly...

 

hope that was clear.
