Thanks guys, but I was talking about the AI. I want them to take off from the runway in multiplayer. Possible?

I don't know what's up with your file changing back to how it was... but I do know you can setup a button to increase the panning speed. I use my hat switch to look around and when I hold shift the panning goes about twice as fast.

Thanks! :) I tested the mission tonight with the Virtual RNLAF F-16 Solo Display Team. We all had a great time (I even shot down a SU-33 with an A-10! :D), but the mission still needs some improvements. One of the things I noticed is that the aircraft which were assigned to "take off from runway" actually started at the parking area. I'm guessing this is a bug in multiplayer and there's no way to solve this. Correct?

Great screenshots Viper! I hope you don't mind that I took the liberty to edit the best (IMHO) of your shots:

Ok thanks a lot guys! I'll "experiment" some more... :)

Ok, I've set the task of the Mig-29s to "nothing". They now stay together, but they don't attack the E3, not even when I set an attack waypoint with the E3 assigned as their target. :S Also, I now know how to let the different flights take off from the same airfield. It all has to do with the order in which you create the flight groups. Let's say you want to have group 1 take off from the runway and group 2 to take off from the parking area and group 3 to take off from the parking area after group 2. You need to set the whole thing up in this exact order. First, create group 1 and assign waypoints, then group 2 and group 3. Group 2 will appear at the parking area when group one is airborne. Group 3 will appear when group 2 has taken off. etc... To have the MiG-29s attack the E3 AWACS I think I'll have to set their task to something other than "nothing". What other options do I have than "intercept"? And what do "GAI" and "CAS" mean (in the task dropdown menu)?

Thanks a lot Ed! I'll make some changes and see how it goes... :)

Ok, I thought it all was supposed to be simple... put in some aircraft, give them waypoints and you have a mission. It seems a little more complicated now, not because of all the little details of info you can add to the aircraft... It looks like some AI scripts are conflicting. What I want to do is setup a co-op mission, in which you scramble to protect your AWACS against an incoming enemy strike force. After that you move on to destroy the enemy AWACS and after that to destroy some facilities at the enemy air base. Here's a list of the problems I have encountered so far: 1. The first enemy fighters that will atack the US AWACS are two MiG-29s. I gave them an airstart and I'd like them to stay together until they are close to the target. Then they can break up and attack the AWACS, so I inserted a turning point right before the attack waypoint. This doesn't seam to help. Right after starting the mission, #2 breaks off and goes full burners to intercept the E3 AWACS. By doing so he burns off all his fuel and can't make it back to base. Also, #1 continues on to attack my F15 on the ground (not taken off, because I was watching the AI). He used to shoot me with his canon on the first pass, but the last time I tried to play the mission he only shot me at his 4th pass and didn't do anything on his 1st to 3rd pass. This problem isn't really important, but it just doesn't feel right. 2. The mission starts at 20.40. I've setup 2 MiG-23MLDs to take off from the runway at that time. The don't even appear in the mission. 3. I've also assigned two Su-27s to take off from parking area at 20.40. They used to do just that, but the last time I checked they behaved really weird and didn't take off. 4. Two Su-33s should take off from parking area at 20.45. Again, nothing... :helpsmilie: I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look at this. You can download the mission via this link: www.virtualredarrows.com/Phoenix/Missions/Scramble_Phoenix.mis Thank you and kind regards, Sytse "Phoenix" Oh yeah, for ground vehicles I know you can set different options for their movement. I get 'on-road' and 'off-road', but what do 'rank' and 'cone' do? pps. does anyone know of a good tutorial on mission building?

Yes, third wire. So aim for the big white circle. ;)

From my online experience, points are the reason of many conflicts between players and take away the fun. No points for me, just fun. :)

Awesome! :)

Thanks! :) Yes, the Su-27 flight model.

Thanks guys! :) Another one:

Fantastic! Never thought of altering the fire/smoke effects, although I never really liked the default effects. Yours look great! However, I think the fire could be a bit more orange, like the fire on the ship. That's perfect! :thumbup:

It's true. The post is on their homepage... sadly :(

Great little video! :D

Well... what do you expect?? :D

They're available for download now. :D

Yeah, I agree as well. There was only a limited number of games designed for use with the physics processor, and from what I've seen they all suck...

I agree! :O Here's my latest edit:

The only thing I know about this, is that you have to alter the server.lua file in order to change the head position in on-line games. It depends on the server.lua file of the host.

Try contacting the Virtual Breitling Jet team. http://www.patrouille-virevolte.net/

Well that's better than 3000... :D Anyway, enough to play LOMAC online ;)

$ 50 for 3000 kbps? Seems a tad expensive to me... where do you live? You can test your internet speed on speedtest.net. Good job on your first kill. Ironicaly, I have yet to explore the A2A combat side of LOMAC, but I did score some gun kills...

Awesome show and great video!! You guys kicked A55 at VFAT! :) May I suggest putting the Jabog32 link into the original post? Because the download was really slow on the first link. Jabog's server is exactly 28,770053475935828877005347593583 times faster! :P
