Another quick question.  Is the CWGermany map supported?  If I started working on the base mission file, and all the required info for the INIT folder, would it work?  Nobody get excited, because I probably won't finish it.     But I didn't want to start if there are parts in the background that need to be updated.

Hi.
All maps can be added.

Just give me the details so I can add them automatically in the next update (to avoid overwriting your data).

movedBullseye in UTIL_ConfModCheck.lua
and
LocationForEphemeris in UTIL_DataMap.lua

That's all I can see for now.

It'll be probably be awhile before I have anything to send.  The big issue is the Airfield DB.  There are SO many Airfields on the Germany map.

You can start creating the db_airbase table using the RunwayLife table in the temporary end-of-mission file: camp_status.

However, it is not necessary to include all the bases. You can start with 10 on each side, for example, which will give you an overview.

 

    ["RunwayLife"] = 
    {
        [1] = 
        {
            ["baseObject"] = 
            {
                ["id_"] = 5000002,
            },
            ["life"] = 3600,
            ["life0"] = 3600,
            ["name"] = "Banak",
            ["pointVec3"] = 
            {
                ["x"] = 233623.484375,
                ["y"] = 5.2753481864929,
                ["z"] = 88526.1171875,
            },
        },
        [2] = 
        {
            ["baseObject"] = 
            {
                ["id_"] = 5000004,
            },
            ["life"] = 3600,
            ["life0"] = 3600,
            ["name"] = "Rovaniemi",
            ["pointVec3"] = 
            {
                ["x"] = -151314.21875,
                ["y"] = 186.5428314209,
                ["z"] = 152281.609375,
            },
        },
        [3] = 
        {
            ["baseObject"] = 
            {
                ["id_"] = 5000006,
            },
            ["life"] = 3600,
            ["life0"] = 3600,
            ["name"] = "Kemi Tornio",

Ok, then I probably won't add all the heliports if it's not needed.  Thanks for the info!  Is there an easy way to get the coordinates (the x,y,z) other than just looking at the map?

New to DCE Campaigns, downloaded and installed Afgan Bear Trap MiG-15. I believe all went (sort of) well as it shows up under DCE Campaigns in game, but shows as "Inactive" and there is no mission or briefing available (mission created by running FirstMission.bat does not show up)? Doublechecked paths under Path.bat, all seems good. Did I miss something?

 

Here is the screen I get.. so close.
