Saving the Campaign

[Guest OSRS72]

I know others have the same problem. But I can't find the solution in the forum.

I try to save the campaign, when I'm in flight, at the debriefing and the briefing to the next mission. If I quit the campaign I have to fly from the beginning again.:mad:

I have even tried to save the campaign as another name, but then it is only a single mission campaign, it will not continue to the next mission after completing the first.:helpsmilie:

What am I doing wrong here?

I have version 1.12a installed

You must first go to the Debriefing if you a saved Campagne activate. :)

After you finish a mission in a campaign you have to save your progress by clicking the debriefing button and then, while looking at the debriefing screen, click (top left) "file" then "save". Don't confuse this type of saving with "save states" (ie the save button on the window you get after quitting, I have never had that type of save work, most folks haven't it seems).

 

 

But anyway, you are getting frustrated with the whole thing and just want to fly and get further on in the campaign....

 

There are possible workarounds, so lets get into those.

 

You can declassify the campaign in the Mission editor and fly the campaign missions in any order you want (plus change skins, weapon loadout, etc). I use this method all the time to cherry pick the fun missions in a campaign and miss out the dull ones.

 

Go into Mission Editor, upper left of screen click on the open button, bottom right TYPE OF FILE select CAMPAIGN, navigate the folder structure to the campaign you want and select it. Bottom right click on MAP. Now you will see the 1st mission of your campaign.

 

Many missions and campaigns are classified with a password so that they cannot be easily/accidentally changed. The stock missions and campaigns that come with Lockon use the password EAGLE.

 

Top left click on EDIT, then DECLASSIFY, enter the password EAGLE. Now all the missions in the campaign should appear on the right hand side. Select the mission you want and you can select your aircraft, select PAYLOAD and pick different weapons/fuel load/skin.

 

If you have downloaded any of the excellent missions/campaigns designed by the Lockon community, then some may be classified. Either the briefing notes or the readme file may tell you the password. Some may not.

 

If not, and you really want to change from what the campaign designer wanted then you can "cheat" by overwriting the password with your own. Use keystrokes rather than menu to do this.

 

Press "ctrl + left shift + C" then type in a password e.g. 1234.

 

Now press "ctrl + left shift + D" and enter your password e.g. 1234

 

 

Secondly, there is a really useful utility that will extract missions from a campaign (link below) so you can fly them as individual missions. No real difference from flying them in the campaign....
