Katmandu Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Having played through the recent Rising Squall campaign, one long missed feature that surprised me is the automatic checkpoints that respown the player if he screws up at some point later in the mission. Will this feature be adopted in the future Baltic Dragon campaigns? Could it be added retroactively to the current campaigns? Enemy Within 3.0 with its massive missions would be my first candidate (I've stalled my playthrough on mission 3 where I died 2 hours into the mission)
baltic_dragon Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 That works only if you die IIRC in Rising Squall. But I do have a system in the works that might help, I’ll add it to the upcoming campaigns first and retroactively update the Raven One. 1 For more information, please visit my website.

cow_art Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Any updates on this? Unfortunately the lack of mid-mission checkpoints is the main reason I am very reluctant to buy campaigns these days.
baltic_dragon Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 @cow_art I have included it in some of the missions that are longer in Raven One and Iron Flag. The problem is that it requires to keep 2 or more versions of the same missions and update all of them whenever any bug is found in the given sortie, which can become rather tedious. But I'm trying to have it included more and more often, though it probably won't become an universal system for all the missions. Another option is to save a track of a mission you had to break and then play the track on fast forward until the place you are comfortable with taking over the role of the pilot (which can be done at any time)... 1 For more information, please visit my website.

cow_art Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Ah great, thanks for the info! Replaying the track is good idea, I'll definitely try that
