Problem still exists for stock ShelterA object. YAP have an alternative hangar that solves this problem, and there are some in the downloads /Object Mods/ section which you could experiment with. Regards, comrpnt.

Something wicked this way comes... comrpnt. ;-)

Into the hornets nest...SEAD into the outskirts of Rostock, April 1979... not expecting to come back after this one...

Very nice work Swambast - this will save a lot of tedious effort. I look forward to trying it out. Kind regards, comrpnt :-)

Hi Lang_666, you could try these: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5989 They're carrier-based and not tested with the latest patch due to their age, but you could give them a try. Also have a look at these ground-based missions: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5559. They'll probably suffice for radar and intercept training in most weather types and at night. Regards, comrpnt.

Hi folks, with my statics you will have to place them by hand in single missions at the airfields of your choice - have a look at the VMFA-531 Single Missions packs in the downloads section here at CA for examples of missions that include definitions on how to do this - especially for Da Nang and Phu Cat. With the new Oct 08 patch you can always edit the airfield _AIRBASE.INI files and modify the Parking[nn] entries to suit your needs. Of course you'll have to rely on the game engine to populate these randomly with suitable available aircraft but it may save you plenty of work. Also of course you could alter these entries so as not to obscure the manual statics that you want to put in future missions, such as aircraft on the line etc. Regards, comrpnt.

I think you misunderstood my previous posting. Mission pack IV, from which the screenshots above were taken, is available NOW: See here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7546 I was hinting at the one that will come after this pack to complete the series, pack V, due in January 2009. So, go get Pack IV... regards, comrpnt :-)

You're very welcome. The final installment should be available at the end of the year or very early in January 2009. Kind regards, comrpnt. :-)

You mean like this... Regards, comrpnt.

Hi Snakeman, welcome to my world! The alignment bug with statics has plagued them since their inception. It is caused by the AI for the static being set to "AVOID_GROUND", which is something I've never managed to resolve - as in what causes this to happen. It must be in the game engine somewhere. From the mission definition extract above "Position=415380,626900,0" is critical as it is the absolute position of the aircraft on the terrain, and has nothing to do with offsets from the centre of the air field. Offsets come into play when you're defining target locations in the _targets.ini file in the Terrain folder. In mission definition files (.msn files) absolute locations on the terrain (i.e. map coordinates) are used only. BTW, the airfield alignment has not changed, only the way the game perceives the static aircraft. The heading is the thing that gets screwed up by the AI attempting to turn the aircraft into wind, or at least onto the take off heading of the runway. As it has no means of propelling itself, then the static will just sit there, skewed from the heading you define - such as 0 degrees. One possible fix, which I have not had time to test is to replace the Coefficient values from the original _data.ini for the aircraft in question. It will probably be trial and error. I will have a go this evening if I can find time - so far I've not run anything on my new patched WOV installation or WOE installation so I guess it's time! What Wrench was alluding to above was to include parking definitions in the air field ini file, in place of or as well as, those already there, but have them on the locations of the QRA sheds. For this you will need the offsets, as these positions are offset from the centre of the air field in the _targets.ini file. Look in the _targets.ini file for an appropriate air field. Then look at the file pointed to by the entry "AirfieldDataFile". You'll need to amend or add to the [Parkingxx] entries for the extra parking positions that also include the QRA sheds. Then the game itself will use these as population locations for auto-generated statics, and the mission files can be edited to remove the ones I've defined. So, there are two ways it could go - use the game itself to park aircraft in the QRA sheds by editing the AirfieldDataFile entries...... OR..... I fix the statics I designed and you continue to use the mission files that define statics in the QRA sheds. Watch this space...I'll see what I can do. Regards, comrpnt :-)

Add the following lines to the file Flight/HUDData.ini [Debug] DisplayDebug=TRUE Debug=TRUE 1. Load a mission that places you at the airbase where you want to plot parking positions. 2. Once the mission loads press CTRL+F12 (HUD toggle) - or use an equivalent keypress that is assigned for HUD toggle. 3. Use the camera pan keys (ALT+arrow keys) and zoom keys to move freely around the terrain. 4. The offset position from the origin point of the target area you're in, say the air base's runway centre point, is shown as the value of "Offset" at the bottom of the details in the debug information shown on screen. 5. Where ever the cross is placed, that's the offset you need to use in the targets.ini file, or mission .msn file. 6. One word of warning - if the air field runway heading is NOT zero, then temporarily set this to zero (in the targets.ini file) before recording the offsets you need, otherwise you'll be using skewed values. Reset the heading of the runway to the original value when you're done. I use this technique all the time to place any object in the game, either on the ground or even in the air. Hope this helps. Regards, comrpnt.

VMFA-531 Mission Pack IV is now up and awaiting approval here at CA. When approved it should be here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7546 Here are a couple of briefing screens and in-game screenshots from one of the missions in this Pack: "I marked the target for you..." "Tally ho!" "Break, break" "Target destroyed, RTB" Regards, comrpnt.

Hi Snakeman, your attached picture looks strangely familar. I guess I'd better have a look myself - looks like your using my statics design. Will let you know if there's a fix. Regards, comrpnt.

This can be done in a single mission, using primarily the StartTime= attribute. The idea is to time, from the moment the mission starts, the number of seconds elapsed until the landing craft hits the beach. Using waypoints these craft can be made to stop on the beach surf line by setting Speed=0 at the desired x/y coordinate. Then, at that moment, in terms of elapsed seconds, let's say 120 seconds elapsed, you define your GroundMission that defines the Marines to come to life (so, StartTime=120). The x/y location of the Marines is defined to be just off the front of the landing craft's position at rest - and assign the Marines a speed of say 1 (Speed=1) and if it all comes together you create the impression of a landing and storming off the beach. Tie that in with the moment your aircraft goes overhead and the simulation of this situation is complete. For the ground objects you'd have something like this... // Landing Craft [GroundMission001] GroundObjectType=LandingCraft Name=First landing craft to hit the beach FormationType=Single Size=1 // Start immediately the mission loads StartTime=0 ObjectiveID=0 Position=710000,420000,0 Heading=270 Speed=10 Alignment=FRIENDLY Nation=USMC // Stop when you reach the beach Waypoint[01].Command=WAYPOINT Waypoint[01].Position=700000,420000,0 Waypoint[01].Size=10 Waypoint[01].Speed=0 // Marines on the beach as the landing craft arrives [GroundMission002] GroundObjectType=US_Marines Name=US Marines moving up the beach FormationType=Single Size=1 StartTime=120 ObjectiveID=0 Position=699990,420000,0 Heading=270 Speed=1 Alignment=FRIENDLY Nation=USMC // Move up the beach and stop a short way inland Waypoint[01].Command=WAYPOINT Waypoint[01].Position=699800,420000,0 Waypoint[01].Size=10 Waypoint[01].Speed=0 Regards, comrpnt.

Hi P10ppy, this is very useful to people like me who do airfield lighting. This tool replaces the earlier swatches I put up at CA. It's just the job. Many thanks :-) Cheers, regards, comrpnt.

For launches with more than 1 aircraft (that is, with at least one AI wingman), the direction of departure can be affected by changing the direction of the wind. For example, with StartWindDirection=0.0 AI aircraft will take off facing one direction. With StartWindDirection=180.0 they line up and take off facing the opposite direction. See if this fixes the problem. Regards, comrpnt.

Hi Arrow, I don't use KMD - instead preferring to code all my single missions by hand. If you do ever tinker with the contents of the .msn file created by KMD then the following post might help you to understand more what the tags and their values actually mean: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=29345 BTW, to define wingmen you need "Size=n" where n > 1. Also, "Formation=USFighter" or "Formation=USBomber" is also useful if Size > 1. For multiple flights set flight 2 with "Starttime=m", where m > 0 and denotes Seconds elapsed since the start of the mission. For a 4-ship formation allow at least 60 seconds elapsed time between flights, otherwise the 2nd flight will appear on the scene while the 1st flight is still taxiing and lining up for takeoff. If you want to jump in at the deep end download some of my later missions from CA/Single Missions (e.g. a VMFA_531 mission pack) and read through the .msn files. They're annotated so you should be able to follow what's going on. Regards, comrpnt.

Please be more specific. I don't have time at present to wade through each of the missions to find the bugs you want 'repaired' (VMFA-531 is my priority task at present). If it's the case that the Falklands mod scenario upon which this mission pack is based is broken - as I believe it is - then fixing this pack is a waste of time, as the underlying infrastructure is broken. First the base mod, then the missions pack. Patience my friend - it will get done in time, once I know what the problems are, after the base mod has been updated. Regards, comrpnt.

Hi Silverbolt - you mean this one? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=4911 Also, if you get VMFA-531 Pack II, you get a similar mission using the F-100D, ([650418]#94509b). See here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5876 Regards, comrpnt

For this aircraft addition, I suppose it would be good if missions of type RECON worked correctly - from my experience you get 'Mission Complete, RTB' as soon as you take off, regardless of the O.P location and Objective=TRUE directive in the .msn file. Anyone got other experiences with this mission type? Perhaps I missed something. Regards, comrpnt.

I didn't think that GroundObjectData.ini was around anymore - I never add anything to this file. Simply dropping ground objects into the GroundObject folder is enough to be able to use them in missions. Not sure why you're seeing Success so early on. Will investigate my installation - only RECON missions do this, due to a bug in the game. Regards, comrpnt.

Hi Canadair, you ask a good question and it has come up before. I'm afraid I'm not sure why single missions (or at least some) do this. I vaguely remember someone posting this before in the forums but can't recall the answer, if there is one. Let me open it up - Can anyone help here? For myself I simply accelerate time with ALT+T to fast forward to the action if the flight is a long one, and then reset with ALT+R back to normal time when I'm near the target - certainly this helps with testing the longer missions ;-). (Certainly most missions contain timed events - such as aircraft taking off after a certain time - but I'm not sure if this is a factor). Sorry I can't be more help but if I come across a fix then future missions will feature it - and perhaps if I find the time I'll retrofit the fix to my previous work. One plan for the future is to collate the entire set of VMFA-531 mission packs, when they're complete, into a single download and make everything consistent throughout the master pack, such as installation instructions and mission briefings. Anyway, that's a future job. In the mean time, all the best, regards, comrpnt. :-)
