I used to be a CombatAce modder, then I got a new Knee ;-)

No, there is no general collection of scripts. You have to look into peoples campaigns in order to learn available scripts. It does not work that way. If it is the last air offensive, then the nuke will be dropped when all other targets have been destroyed. You have to add CIA as a service, the same way as you do USAF. So instead of USAFUnit and all that, add CIA Unit. Also add CIA in the "Servicelist" in the Campaign.ini

Nope. I am a Campaign Writer. I got a team to do my bidding and bring me stuff . Never done a airplane or such myself, but you will find getting permission is not very difficult. Do check the guys who are signed up for the CA Modders Agreement and thats quite many of us. I never am. I just think a little more North then Netherlands ;-) You must dig into a file called Nations.ini. Find it (or extract it), then add this: [Nation (NEXT NUMBER IN LINE)] Name=CIA DisplayName=Central Intelligence Agency Alignment=FRIENDLY PilotNameList=NamesUSAF.lst RankList=RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=USFighter Formation.Attack=USFighter Formation.Bomber=USBomber Formation.Transport=USBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsUSAF.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsUSAF.str UseFAC=TRUE ActiveDate=1948 AlternateDecal=USAF_OLD Then you can add CIA as its own service the usual way. That is tricky. However, like I said, an Air Offensive is your best bet, but I suspect that you already use it for the start. It also means alot of friendlies in the blast zone. Look for the "AirOffensive[001].Primary=WAREHOUSE" lines. Add a AirOffensive[001].FocusArea=Hanoi Lastly, add StartOffensiveDate=03/05/1966 (Change the date for the day your new squadron appears).

You cannot create specific missions on specific dates, sadly. That should be on top of my wishlist, but it aint. You can however create a squadron of aircraft that appears on that date and make sure there is an air offensive on Hanoi that date as well. Make sure the Nuke is part of the usual strike package, and do not use that aircraft for any other squadron. However, this means putting off any other Air offensives. The second part of the wish is impossible, I tried it myself, but you cannot have triggers - as the term goes. This however can be done. You need to check the Strategic Nodes. Then simply "connect the dots" to whatever targets you wish them to engage. Using a Vietnam Targets or Cities list is usually the best way to do this. Another thing you may want to note for your campaign is how China and Soviet Union would have reacted if a Nucelar Solution was applied in Vietnam.

That is pretty much what I spent two months doing. Did not work out. Way, way too random and you never got the feel that it was a large war you where figthing. The idea struck me today after Baltika told me it was probably not possible. I have yet to decide if I do it or not, but the idea would probably feel disconnected. Also, the second part on the campaign - based on the E1 strategy - is that if E1 succeds, the army is out of the fight alltogether. So I will probably have to invent smart soviets who think ahead and do not wish to subject themselfs to E1 in the first place.

The SF1 ones ought to work fine for SF2. EDIT: They did not. They crash when you start em up. Might look trough them when I have the time but I am by no means good at aircraft customization. And that is too bad, the Fantan is a Sweet ride.

Seems like I do that alot nowadays. You should have seen my iniatial outline for Mannerheims ^^ I dont suppose there is a good way to make the iniative shift mid-campaign?

TK still have 11 hours to release the game for my Bet in the contest :D

I am in the middle of a little snag here. For the next campaign, the realistic strategy dictates that Sweden has the iniative in the air while Soviet Ground Forces advance. However, in order to trigger either, I need to have the Iniative on the offensive side. Is there a good way in order to make an Air Offensive work, while the enemy advance on the ground? I been trying different solutions for weeks, and I gotten close but not in the way I want. Help me, CombatAce. You are my only hope

The Åland Hemvärnsflottilj is not having a good day...

Ladies and Gentlemen, dont know if this is new or not, but found this in MissionSummary.ini: [TRANSPORT] [AIR_ASSAULT] [TRANSFER] [TRAINING] [sCRIPTED] [bALLOON_BUSTING] [bALLOON_DEFENSE] [PRECISION_STRIKE] [sPECIAL_ATTACK] [NAVAL_SEARCH] [NAVAL_ATTACK] NumLines=1 NumVariation[1]=1 [ESCORT_JAMMER] [ESCORT_DECOY] [CRUISE_MISSILE] [sCRAMBLE] NumLines=1 NumVariation[1]=1 [AMBUSH] [sEAD_ESCORT] [ANTI_RADAR] NumLines=2 NumVariation[1]=1 NumVariation[2]=2 [CAS_DEFENSIVE] NumLines=2 NumVariation[1]=1 NumVariation[2]=2 [ESCORT_SHIP] [RECON_BDA]

That would be an honour ! :)

Not if you turned off the HUD ;-)

All these screenshots and no video makes me want to E-mail TK for a review copy for my Youtube Channel :D

I show love for my dates any date but this one ;-)

That are some pretty damn good pictures you got there !

I love CombatAce because all the great people who do stuff for the sheer enjoyment of pleasing others and building cool airplanes to fly. And because you help me realise my dream of building a Scandinavian Air Force toybox :D Sharing is Caring guys.

7th Free Åland Figther-Bomber Sqd "The Mud Dwellers" & 4th Free Åland Maritime Patrol Sqd "The Grey Seals"

Not much time left now !

15th of February

Regarding Flight, I think the big mistake they are doing there is the pricing of the DLC. Its going to be too much for a non-dedicated flyer - since the hardcore ones who both can and will pay for such things is passing it over.

I hope they are buried with their comrades with full honours !

What? Last I heard, Oleg wanted to get into the Med theater and BoB is a good stepping stone for that. Did IL-2 not already HAVE Moscow? I mean, the game who almost by itself dominated flight simulation in a time and place where people said it could not be done?
