Quick Action Generator FAQ

[NineLine]

The Quick Action Generator (QAG) is now available in version 2.9.16.10523, read the changelog here.

The Quick Action Generator (QAG) is the enhanced successor to the former 'Create Fast Mission' feature. It offers a more streamlined and efficient method for setting up instant action missions across various eras, mission types, and locations, without the need to use the Mission Editor.

When you click on 'Quick Action Generator' in the main menu, you will be taken to the QAG GUI as seen below:

1. Scenario - Here you will select when, what and where your mission will be.

• ERA - You can choose from All, WWII, Korean War, Cold War and Modern. This will limit the aircraft and targets you can choose based on the actual service date of each unit.
• Country - Country for your aircraft
• Mission Type - You can pick from numerous mission types based on the ERA you have chosen, from Dogfight to Anti-shipping - Requires Regenerate
• Map - Pick from any Terrain you own and have installed - Requires Regenerate
• Season - Pick 1 of the 4 seasons
• Weather - Choose the weather you want
• Start Time - Choose a random start time or pick what time of day you want to fly

2. Player - Set up your aircraft

• Aircraft - Pick from any combat aircraft you own and have installed - Requires Regenerate
• Distance to Target (units of measurement are based on what you have selected in Options/Gameplay)
• Heading to Target
• Altitude (units of measurement are based on what you have selected in Options/Gameplay)
• Speed (units of measurement are based on what you have selected in Options/Gameplay)
• Wingman AI Skill Level - Pick the level of your AI wingman
• Edit - Here you can edit your flight, or add other friendly groups

3. Targets - Adjust and add targets and enemy units here; this will change based on your selected Mission Type

5. Airplane Icon - This aircraft icon is the location of your flight; you can drag it around manually if you want to fine-tune the location (player heading and distance to target will automatically update)

6. Target Icon - This icon is the location of your target, as with your flight, you can move it manually if you desire (player heading and distance to target will automatically update)

4. Save and Fly - This button will either say Save and Fly or Regenerate

• Save and Fly - this will launch the mission with your chosen options
• Regenerate - if you change the map, mission or other options that require the mission to be regenerated, you will need to click this first to see your changes
• End - Exits the IAG

Save your Mission
Once you click save and fly, it will act just like any other mission you might use. If you enjoy the mission, you can even save it, simple end the mission and on the briefing screen you can click on 'Save Mission', then click on My Missions and save it with whatever name you like.

Co-op Mission
Currently, the QAG doesn't support more than one player aircraft, but if you create a mission in the QAG you might want to fly with your friend(s), making sure you add an AI Wingman or a Second AI Flight (2 means Player and 1 Wingman)

Press Save and Fly, then once the mission launches, exit, and in the briefing screen save the mission to My Missions. Next open the Mission Editor, and open your newly created mission.

Once open, find your AI wingman and change from whatever Skill it is to 'Client', then save the mission either as a new name or overwrite the current. And you are done, you now have a co-op mission that you can host and fly with a friend.
