gavagai Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) B-29 Mission v0.2 This is a fictional mission with the B-29 and P-51Ds pitted against the Luftwaffe. The B-29s use some scripts to drop "bombs" on Nalchik, Beslan, and Vladikavkaz. The B-29s do not hold formation well, and they attempt to engage enemy fighters. So far there is no way to change this behavior in DCS. The mission can be flown singleplayer or in multiplayer mode. AI flights spawn randomly, so it is very unlikely that two missions will be exactly alike. Total run time is about 2 hours. Special thanks go to DOL for the B-29 mod, Eekz and Stonehouse for the bombing script, Sithspawn for the flak script, and MrSkortch for MIST. ------------------------ To JOIN this mission in multiplayer you should have the B-29 and FireObjects mods installed. They are attached in B29mission.zip and JSGME ready. To HOST this mission you also need the scripts I have attached in a separate zip file, and you need to put the .miz file in your missions folder. ------------------------ Updated to v0.2. Improved AI waypoints Fixed some radio settings for correct tower communications Decreased B-29 groups from 4 to 2 aircraft Initial testing is stable in single player mode, but still suffering bugs when hosting in multiplayer.B29mission.zipscripts.zipB29v0.2.miz Edited June 26, 2015 by gavagai P-51D | Fw 190D-9 | Bf 109K-4 | Spitfire Mk IX | P-47D | WW2 assets pack | F-86 | Mig-15 | Mig-21 | Mirage 2000C | A-10C II | F-5E | F-16 | F/A-18 | Ka-50 | Combined Arms | FC3 | Nevada | Normandy | Straight of Hormuz | Syria
gavagai Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) I tested the mission in the P-51D and everything worked fine. My round-trip escort mission was 1 hour and 15 minutes long. There were 8 B-29s and 4 P-51s over Nalchik, and although framerates dropped, there were no special problems. When I fly the mission from the German side I get a weird 3d error when I engage the B-29s. First, my wings disappear and I lose joystick control. Sometimes my aircraft dimensions become distorted while everything else remains normal. This happens with both the 109 and 190. I tried some other visually intense missions with the 109 and 190 and there were no 3d errors or anything weird. It would be great if someone else can see this error. I am going to try reducing the number of B-29s to see if it helps. -------------- Errors are less severe with v0.2, which shows that reducing B-29 flights helps. The mission runs fine in singleplayer mode, but still has bugs when hosting.

gavagai Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 So, if you want to try the mod and mission with your friends, use this new version 0.3. It cuts the objects and number of flights in half. You might be able to host 0.2 if you have a lot of ram (like 16gb or more), but for me 0.3 is stable when hosting multiplayer.B29v0.3.miz P-51D | Fw 190D-9 | Bf 109K-4 | Spitfire Mk IX | P-47D | WW2 assets pack | F-86 | Mig-15 | Mig-21 | Mirage 2000C | A-10C II | F-5E | F-16 | F/A-18 | Ka-50 | Combined Arms | FC3 | Nevada | Normandy | Straight of Hormuz | Syria
