Single Mission on Custom Terrains?

[A48Racing 11]

Sorry in advance if this was asked already.

I've downloaded the Southwestern US terrain to spice up my gameplay and noticed no enemies spawn in single mission. Is this a bug? Are custom terrains not able to do RNG missions? Or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you for sure have to use mission editor to add some extra targets to blow up or shoot down.

What about for single mission? Where the game just generates one?

A48Racing,

If you downloaded the 1.1 update, it is because the enemy nation is set to something like "USN Agressors", and If you don't have the A-4's from the Topgun Campaign, you don't have any aircraft that belong to that nation.

You can change it to "Soviet", for example, in the SWUS_NATIONS.INI file, and you'll have Soviet aircraft to fly against in single missions.

I found when the game generates its own mission.  Be sure to set the dates in the Terrain folder and when you go through the limited nations make sure all your friends and foes are in there.  Then go through your Targets ini and make sure they match up with targets in the Terrain folder and Objects folder.  Also make sure you have user ini's for the aircraft and some ground objects.  The game will see all of the these and then you will cry because you got to many targets:)  Here are some examples:

The H-5 always shows up for action by having the user list match up with the Limited Nations and the aircraft fall in with the dates as well.  The game will randomly execute the planes and ground targets.
