alien41 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello Any possibility of adapting these campaigns to the AV8B? I tried to edit the missions with the game editor using the desert tiger campaign, but it seems to do that, break the AI, it does not obey the commands and do not attack the targets on the ground. Quite strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to edit the missions with the game editor using the desert tiger campaign, but it seems to do that, break the AI, it does not obey the commands and do not attack the targets on the ground. Quite strange. I wanted to make an AV8B DCE campaign but there a bug with AI AV8B : they can't take off from runway if there are too loaded because they try vertical take off !!! One solution would be to take really small amount of fuel and to refuel inflight but it's too complicated I think :( I'm waiting for ED update to fix this bug...

Yes this bug exists if you start the mission on the ramp. Putting straight into the taxi, the AI takes off in the usual way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB0_CEF Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Is it new ? Because my last tests showed me that taking off from runway was good for my wingman but not for n° 3 and 4 ? DCE only option is to begin the mission with or without the engine on but always from the ramp, not the runway, sorry.

Shein Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 When tasked with a base strike, how does one damage the base? See the attached image, this is what the AI is tasked to destroy. I blew up ALL of those buildings, and the base took no damage at all! Any help appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71st_AH Rob Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 That is what seems to happen some times with map objects. Normally the AI will not attack them and if a player destroys them they show up again on the next mission. Some objects can be destroyed and the AI will go after them, others can't. This has been going on since slightly after the release of the Hornet. You will need to go into the campaign status and mark them destroyed or it will be like groundhog day, over and over...

omskTransmash Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I failed to search similar question regarding MBot's DCE. Sorry if this question already has asked and answered. Is there "an end" of a DCE campaign or "finishing", "completion"? Just like if we do all 10 missions of a scripted / static campaign? Or is DCE campaigns are ever going endless war?

Is there "an end" of a DCE campaign or "finishing", "completion"? Just like if we do all 10 missions of a scripted / static campaign? Or is DCE campaigns are ever going endless war? You can choose the way a DCE campaign finish : The more obvious way to finish the campaign is to destroy all or nearly all the enemy targets : it can need a lot of missions !!! Another way can be to destroy enemy air force : no more bases left or no more planes ... You can loose the campaign if your squadron has no more planes left too ! Sometimes the campaign designer can decide to allow a maximum number of missions : if the targets are not destroyed after X missions it's a draw (or a loose) To be sure of the campaign end conditions you can open the "camp_triggers_init.lua" file in the "init" folder and look at the CAMPAIGN END section. Before the campaign start you can edit the conditions : Change destroyed target percent number, enemy aircrafts left number, max number of missions to be flown before draw (or loss) If you are good enough with lua you can find other conditions too :thumbup: Like you want [/url]All known Dynamic Campaign Engine Campaigns Last DCE news : Crisis in PG - Blue version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe tracking progress toward campaign winning condition can help motivate the players throughout the missions, Just for now i am very happy that i know what i have to do to win the campaign.

PB0_CEF Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 I discovered a way to take off from LHA Tarawa but it's not the best one : I edit the mission I will fly and change "rampstart" to "From the runway" ! I have to put the good Park order because by default it's 1, wingman 3, wingman 4 and wingman 2 at the end so 2 3 and 4 never take off. The really good news is that AI AV-8B are not limited by the weight to take off so I can put 100% fuel and a decent loadout 6 x Mk 82 for example :) I would really prefer to do a cold start (with new INS alignement) but I really like to take off and land on Tarawa and not limiting the AI fuel and weapon load. I hope cold start will be possible soon ! [/url]All known Dynamic Campaign Engine Campaigns Last DCE news : Crisis in PG - Blue version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB0_CEF Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 3 campaigns I'm working on for my fun but I can share if someone is interested with : - AV-8B N/A over PG : taking off from Tarawa but it needs mission edition and hot start :( (waiting for an update to be able to start cold on the deck) - Su-33 over PG : Russian navy (CV Kuznetsov) tries to help Iran against all its enemies (not completly tested yet) - Viggen over PG : a what if with a Sweden squadron helping US against Iran with Antiship and Coastal strikes using exotic weapons...

sbmasonator Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Anybody able to do a light version of the F-18 dynamic over Caucasus (a version of the M-2000 light one), or can point me in the direction of changing the M2K one to make the F-18 the player aircraft?
