Strike Fighters NA introduced "off map" airbases. Mainly for bombers to enter the battle from airbases far outside the scope of the maps. They enter at a point on the edge of the map. I was hopeing somone had added a couple soviet "off map" bases to terrains like DBS or American northwest to have us based intercepters going after Soviet long rang bombers.

Hello

 

Is there a link to do this ?

(I'd like to use it for UK map)

Can player "use" this method ?

Interesting idea. We have the F-102/F-106. Might be a fun mini campaign.

 

I have added off-map AB's to most of the stock terrains.

the reason I was asking is because I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work myself. :(

Just checked :

You cannot choose them as airbase in the mission editor, nor as a player plane in the campaign (in this case, you are located to anotehr airbase)

If you make a mission (SF2NA, intercept with Tomcat), Off based aircraft appear and return around the coordinate you specify

 

That's what I understood for the moment

Naw, I just added USAirbase1, USAirbase2 and USAirbase3. North, Central and South. Also put in a UK base.

The bomber squadrons I put there do indeed show up. I place them about 200000(whatevers) from the map border

Thank you

Do they show up as "player aircraft" ?

Is the airbase available in the Mission Editor ?

afaik, they are NOT player useable; mostly because they exist "beyond the rim" (ok, The Wall)

 

designed for AI controled bombers, and maybe fighters too

Fighters work too. I have F-111 and Tornado F3 based at my UK base. They make a guest appearance now and again.

stupid question but how does one figure out where to put the off map base? cordinate wise?

Actually, from what I understood, you do not input the coordinate of the base but the coordinate at which aircraft taking off from this base will be "spawned".

 

The last thing I could not do is to open the mission editor and affect this base to an AI flight.

 

Is this possible ?

use the WoVSqmd, the old 1stGen mission builder; it gives a GREAT x/y display on screen

Yep, that's exactly what I use to plot out front lines, MOVEMENT.INI routes, and now SF2NA campaign carrier group positions. Saves a lot of time. And you can save the "missions" for future reference.

Where is this thing? I've searched for it a couple of times, never find it.

this one is set up for just plane SF2.

It's easy to switch to other mods folders...

 

unzip, drop the SF2Sqmd folder into any/all mods folders

rename it's folder to match the mods folder

rename the exe to match both

open, and navigate to the terrain folder you want to see/use

 

NOTE: MUST have all three planning maps extracted and inplace INSIDe each terrain Planning maps MUST be in bmp format.

 

Important: does NOT work AT ALL on the IcelandNA terrain (must be a unicode thing and/or jpg planning maps --and, yes I've tested with bmp planning maps AND ANSI _targets.inis)
