Me or BarbsMan (I'm not sure he is registered on this forum, you can find him and me on : http://www.checksix-forums.com or http://www.ada-mod.org/adamod/forum) :)

 

And don't tell me you have friends modding Jaguars for SFP1, that just would be... GREAT :D

[Azrayen]

Hey, some well known names in this lot :)

Thx for the help. :)

 

Back to main topic : The AdA mod v1 is still under tests.

Fixing some bugs in the RC1.00 created new ones elsewhere (as usual...) :D

 

The beta team finished its works on the RC1.02 ; let's hope the RC1.03 will be the great one !! :P

 

The countdown for the release should now be days, no more weeks :thumbup:

 

Cheers,

Az'

PS : Thanks for your help :) About bpao, as I told you in MP, we are already in contact with him :)

[X_Man]

Oh man - I wet myself! :cry:

[Azrayen]

Hi all ! :)

 

Little update : the campaign building is pretty painful (don't ask Hub, he bites at this time :gun_smilie:).

And the tests take some time, as we have to go through all the missions of the campaign...:pilotfly::joystick:

 

We're currently testing the last RC1.04. Let's hope this one'll be THE one.:thumbup:

 

Keep up, Guys, we've never been nearer :joystick:

 

Cheers,

Az'

[HubMan]

Campaaaaign... Must... Finish... Campaign... Caaaaaampaign... :crazy::bored:

 

:D

 

Hub.

 

PS : we are through the first 16 missions... We only need to play the campaign a couple of time and we should be good for release... The other 12 missions will be incorporated later... And it's amazing the time necessary to do something a bit original... :yes:

[X_Man]

Wooohoo! Campaign you say, that's very interesting. HubMan when you feel like taking a break, can you give us a summary of the campaign idea?

 

I want to run an LMR based coop server using this addon complete with scheduled AI (ships, helos, ground engagements). The idea is to add 5 missions to start with in rotation with win conditions for both sides.

Hi X_Man :)

 

The campaign is based on the main plot of the french movie "Les Chevaliers Du Ciel" ("Sky Fighters / Night Of The Sky"). The story was a bit too simple to provide enough material for a lockon campaign and we had to find some more ideas... :)

 

Anyway, it is mostly about three Mirages that were stolen by a group of terrorists and that the player has to find and/or destroy... :)

 

One of the reason why the campaign was so long and hard to be built was because we wanted to find back the "spirit" of the old flight simulators, like "Strike Commander". The other reasons are that :

 

- we wanted to help the virtual pilots to improve or challenge their flying/fighting skills with the Mirage 2000-5F (MiG-29S). Most of the missions will make you work one (or several) particular "areas" of Air Combat.

 

- we wanted to do something enjoyable for beginners and veterans : beginners will have a hard time but will learn a lot in the process, veterans will have to be carefull and will get a nice/fun Lockon training :)

Tuning the difficulty was long and difficult, we talked a lot about it and made a lot of corrections :)

 

- some missions are quite tough for a beginner, but they are not tough just to be tough : they are difficult because that is the only way to progress or stay sharp : you need to be challenged to learned how to use your radar fast, read your your RWR to defend under pressure, attack a target defended by SAMs or MANPADs... If you are blocked on a mission, it is not because it is too hard, it is because you did not use the "appropriate" tactics in Lockon :) If you understand how to use your weapons or take advantage of your environment (wingmen, friendly SAMs...), you should be able to go through without too many problems. Of course, what is interesting is that those tactics are really working outside the scope of the AdA Mod campaign :D

 

- no mission is really like the others, we tried to get the greatest variety of situations (time, weather, opponents, task...)

 

- The briefings are quite complete and really give you the keys to use the Mirage 2000-5 (MiG-29S) succesfully in BVR / CAC / Gunzo / Ground Attack / Night combat / Anti Ship etc...

 

- we wanted original and fun scenarios, where you almost are immediatly into the action :) This is not realistic, but we did not want to have to fly 300km to fight a 2vs2 BVR other the sea... The idea was more to get directly into a 1 vs 2+1 into the hills...

 

- a couple of old school games gave you a very good self satisfactory feeling once you managed to go through a hard level that blocked your progression for a while, we tried to do the same thing for the campaign, with the difference that sweating your way through is worth it : you will gain or keep some experience that can be used directly in LO :)

 

And most of all, we wanted the campaign to make you like the AdA Mod :D

 

 

Cheers :)

 

 

Hub.

[X_Man]

Sweet! I have a feeling we will not be disappointed! :D

[Friedric]

Question

 

is there a Rafale in AdA_mod ?

 

I find the Rafale prety sexy plane )) like the french girls :music_whistling:

[Azrayen]

Friedric : Scroll back there :)

 

All : Project status update afther the test of the week-end :

No more bugs in the mod since the last two RC versions. :thumbup:

We're still on the campaign. There are 16 missions in the campain, guess which one is (still) broken ?

The 16th, yes Sir...:doh: :cry_2:

 

Well, we'll ask for you patience some days more. This delay'll be necessary for the dev team (Hub in that case) to rebuild the campain with the last mission OK, and for the beta team to play all the missions again.

 

Cheers,

Az'

 

PS : If you plan to mod LO, let me give you a piece of advice : Don't even think to make a campain... or buy anti-stress medics !:joystick:

heheh french guys are funny

[Colt40Five]

I learned early on it's much easier to make a mission pack than a campaign...

 

You know you could always release the mod(now) and the campaign(later) separately....:music_whistling:

[The_GOZR]

Ofcourse campaign can be made later many wont really fly the campaign.. alas.

[HubMan]

Hi guys :)

 

About the campaign released after the mod, we thought about it, but we realized that a lot of casual players never tried to create their own missions and are mostly playing what comes with Lockon or could be found on the web :)

 

That's the really why, we decided to postpone a bit more the release of the mod and take the time to package the missions #1->#16 (#17->#18 still need decent briefings) :)

 

Anyway, as Azraen' said it, we only have now to package the 1.0 and make sure that no regression occured :) ; and we are ready for the release (if things go the nicely, should be the middle of this week ) :)

 

Cheers ):

 

Hub.

[Azrayen]

Anyway, as Azraen' said it (...)

Hey ! Give me my letter back or I will find new bugs :D

If you want your users to have the best experience, I think having the KoP on your test team is a good thing! :D
