F-5 not listed on "Missions" page

[LeCuvier]

The "Missions" page lists all airplanes that I have installed and allows me to select missions for any of the aircraft. Well, any except the F-5E. In order to run a F-5E mission I have to open the folder structure for any other aircraft and then navigate through the folder structure until I get to the F-5E "Missions" folder. That's awful. I have not found out how to fix this in the interim. I expect something's missing in one of the .lua scripts. Can somebody tell me where to fix this?

PS: I have not found any thread with this issue. Am I the only one having it?

It doesn't come with any missions so they didn't create a mission folder. Go to Mods/aircraft/F-5E/missions/ then create a folder called Single

F-5E does have mission, but...

With all due respect Sir: The F-5E does have missions under QuickStart and Training! Only the entry is missing somwhere that would list it on the "Missions" page.

Yes that is true but they aren't detalied missions like what you can find in the single folder. Does it work?

[Steel Jaw]

Still in beta is it not?

[feefifofum]

Generally the things you'll find in "missions" and "campaigns" are a little more detailed than the quick start/instant action missions which are often geared more towards air starts/short engagement you begin just outside of.

 

I'm sure more content will be added as the team has time; we're still only a couple days in the early access release. :)

[LeCuvier]

Yes these are short and simple missions; and yes the F-5E module is in Early Access mode. These short missions however do allow me to get a feel for the aircraft and start learning how it's weapon system work.

I do not expect more in Early Access or Beta state.

But I want to be able to get to these missions without selecting another aircraft and then having to go through the entire folder structure.

I'm not complaining either. All I'm solliciting is input from somebody who knows how to add the F-5E to the mission page. I'm sure it's not hard-coded in a DLL but hidden in a .lua file that I could modify if I knew which file and what the missing line contains.

I think someone already told you.

 

Go to Mods/aircraft/F-5E/missions/ then create a folder called Single

 

I don't have the module yet, but can't you access the Quickstart and Training missions via the respective Training or Instant Action tab in the main menu?

Thanks for reports! This is fixed in internal version.

 

For temporary workaround add folder Single in Mods/aircraft/F-5E/missions/ (Thanks to Kartoffel)

[LeCuvier]

Yes thanks it works. I had been focussed on the statement "It doesn't come with any missions so they didn't create a mission folder" and overlooked the rest.

For consistency with other modules I created a folder "EN" under "Missions" to which I moved the existing folders "QickStart" and "Training". Under "EN" I created "Single" and copied a mission into that. The F-5E is now visible in the Missions page.

Apologies to Kartoffel for not having read the second part of his post.

Also, shameless self-advertising :music_whistling: , but I made a mission you can put in that folder and play! It is a simple interdiction of mig21s at this link! http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2023668/

Thanks LeCuvier - you just answered my question I was coming to the forum for!
