Trouble with MissionChance for the Tu-128.

[liamp51 6]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to add the Tu-128 to the Red Hammer campaign and can't get the MissionChance=[] to work properly. I have set it so that the the CAP, INTERCEPT, SWEEP missions are all set to 70, 80, and 90. I have the rest of the missions set to 0. When I select the aircraft in the campaign, and get to the briefing screen, I never have the correct mission assigned. It's always a ground attack mission, or a SEAD mission. I have successfully added the A-6 to the same campaign in the past with the correct missions and everything, so this is quite puzzling.

 

Here are the entries from the DATA file, and the config file:

 

DATA File:

 

[AirUnit113]

AircraftType=Tu-128

I really can't figure this one out!

 

Thanks!

anybody have an answer for this, as i am having exactly the same problem. i tried changing unit and what not, but it seems that i still get strike or ground attack missions, coupled with not being able to change me home base, and also the strike missions and sead missions are also directed at my own airfields.

please, anybody.

Well, I have find an error. Let me explain:

 

In this:

 

[AirUnit113]

AircraftType=Tu-128

AlternateType=

UnitName=790 IAP

ForceID=2

Nation=SOVIET

StartNumber=1

StartDate=8/31/1968

DefaultTexture=URSS1

BaseArea=Erfurt Airbase

BaseMoveChance=25

RandomChance=100

MaxAircraft=8

StartAircraft=4

MaxPilots=20

StartPilots=12

Experience=80

Morale=100

Supply=100

Intelligence=0

MissionChance[sWEEP]=80

MissionChance[CAP]=70

MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=90

UpgradeType=NEVER

 

Well, there is the airunit 113, 790 IAP, flying Tu-128, etc. That's good.

 

Config File:

 

[sovietUnit001]

ForceID=2

UnitID=113

Squadron=790 IAP

StartDate=08/21/1968

DescFile=woe3Start.txt

StartText=woe3Start2.txt

AircraftType=Tu-128

 

But here you have listed the unit as UnitID=113. That's not good. You have to count the units on the red side and then, ggiving it te correct number. If you set ID number 113, you are counting blue and red units. You must give UnitID=number counting only red units. I have nearly all campaigns as two sided flyable and not problems so far....But expect in any plane, blue or red, if no suitable mission for the plane in a campaign day, the game engine will give you a recon mission. Good luck shooting down those capitalists!
