Editing

[Spudman]

Is it possible to some how edit one of the missions, or campaigns when they are secure so that you can choose the options that you like, or pick your own load outs etc.? And if so, how?

[asparagin]

you can choose from the menu "declassify" and enter the code "eagle", then you can change the mission parameters.

 

PS: in the editor

I'm still fairly new to this whole thing, sorry. I can't find what you're talking about.

Once you open a mission in the editor, type [Ctrl-Shift-C]. Enter a password (abc) where prompted.

 

Then immediately thereafter type [Ctrl-Shift-D]. Enter your password (abc) and you will be able to edit the mission.

ok, the thing is my graphic card died on me so i can't give you the exact instructions, but you can find it like this:

 

you can open a mission or campaign with the mission editor, When in mission editor, first say ok to choose sides and then look in the upper left side for the "open" symbol. remember if you want to open a campaign or a mission from a campaign, you have to choose "campaign files" from the drop down menu.

when you found what you need press "map".

the look in the upper left tabs, "edit" i think, and you find the option "declassify", if you press it, a window will appear asking for a password. it is: "eagle".

if you still can't do it some one will give some more hints for sure, or you will have to wait until i get my card repaired :book:

..or you learn the shortcuts..

Hey thanks, it worked. Sorry to hear about your video card. I was surprised that I couldn't edit any campaign that I wanted, like the campaigns that come with the sim.

You can declassify a campaign (or a standalone mission) in the Mission Editor and fly the campaign missions in any order you want (plus change skins, weapon loadout, etc). I use this method all the time to cherry-pick the fun missions in a campaign and miss out the dull ones.

 

Go into Mission Editor, upper left of screen click on the open button, bottom right TYPE OF FILE select CAMPAIGN, navigate the folder structure to the campaign you want and select it. Bottom right click on MAP. Now you will see the 1st mission of your campaign.

 

Many standalone missions and campaigns are classified with a password so that they cannot be easily/accidentally changed. The stock standalone missions and campaigns that come with Lockon use the password EAGLE.

 

Top left, click on EDIT, then DECLASSIFY, enter the password EAGLE. Now all the missions in the campaign should appear on the right hand side, so select the mission you want to fly. If you wish, you can select your aircraft, select PAYLOAD and pick different weapons / fuel load / skin. You can add or remove other units, change the weather, time of day etc.

 

If you have downloaded any of the excellent missions/campaigns designed by the Lockon community, then some may be classified. Either the briefing notes or the readme file may tell you the password. Some may not.

 

If not, then you can still get in by overwriting the password with your own. Use keystrokes rather than the pulldown menu to do this.

 

Press "ctrl + left shift + C" then type in a password of your choice e.g. 1234.

 

Now press "ctrl + left shift + D" and enter your password e.g. 1234

 

NOTE that Lockon does not seem to remember this, so you may have to do it each time you restart Lockon............
