Custom plane in campaign

[jdbecks 0]

Hi Guys,

 

I am trying to add the Tornado GR4 into the Red Lightning Campaign, but I still can not get it to appear as flyable.

 

this is what I done,

 

Extracted mission dat and ini file from the main sf2e cat file, I made a campaign folder in my mod folder, called " Campaigns" then a sub folder called " Campaigne2 "

 

[uSAFUnit019]

AircraftType=TornadoGR4

Squadron=2RAF

ForceID=1

Nation=RAF

Startpoint=1

StartDate=8/24/1972 - Cant remember exact start date of campaign...Im on my laptop

DefaultTexture=14 - is the texture file for the tornado

BaseArea=Buggen - spelling and do not have the " above the e

BaseMoveChance=25

RandomChance=100

MaxAircraft=16

StartAircraft=16

MaxPilots=16

StartPilots=16

Experience=100

Morale=100

Supply=50

MissionChance[sWEEP]=25

MissionChance[CAP]=40

MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=60

MissionChance[ESCORT]=40

MissionChance=80

MissionChance[CAS]=80

MissionChance[sEAD]=40

MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=60

MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=40

MissionChance[RECON]=50

UpgradeType= NEVER

 

and in the INI file

 

[uSAFUnit019]

UnitName=2RAF

ForceID=1

UnitID=19

StartDate=08/21/1968

DescFile=woe3Start.txt

StartText=woe3Start2.txt

AircraftType=TornadoGR4

 

 

Cheers

How about trying "RAFUNIT" ?

I did try that, and it still did not work.

Did GR4's fly in 1972?

Did GR4's fly in 1972?

 

 

I might have the dates wrong for the campaign, but Im sure it ties in when the tornado was operational in 1979. I cant check my ini files exactly as they are on my computer, Im using my laptop at the moment.

I must be doing something wrong in the ini/data files or they are stored incorrectly in the mod folder,

 

at the moment its

 

C:\Users\name\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Campaigns\Campaignes

Hello jdbecks, please try C:\Users\name\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Campaigns\campaigne2

There you should find the files "campaigne2.ini" and "campaigne2_DATA.INI".

In other words, as far as I know, the main ".ini" file and this campaign's folder must have the same name.

 

PS: By the way, the update to get GR.4 from the Tournedo GR.1 was finished in 2003, so the ServiceYear may be a bit off for the 1979 campaign.
