Anyone proficient with mission-making? Can you help me?

With all the info presented in the dialogue, the stock tutorials aren't really "ideal" for just practicing bombing runs and weapons deployment. I'd rather study from the manual while the sim is paused (ala F4AF!) rather than have to sit through repetitions of info I don't need or understant. I was wondering if anyone can whip up a simple training mission where one could theoretically practice with all weapons versus all manner of targets? I was thinking maybe take off from Bantumi and have practice targets on the target area south of Kobuleti. For bunker or building practice, the buildings on Kobuleti would suffice. Maybe even have targets that are off the practice area to be able to practice on target acquisition.

 

So, is it possible to construct such a mission? I suppose target placement would be easy, just put down a bunch of tanks here, some trucks there, etc. Waypoint assignments could be simple as well, with, say, waypoint 3 being the practice area for bomb drops on vehicles, 4 being Kobuleti for bombing buildings practice, and 5 being the general area where other targets are (target acquisition practice). Maybe even a waypoint 6 with a trigger that when the player approaches within XXX distance, a ground unit will call for assistance for JTAC.

 

Then theoretically, the player can load up the mission, select payload depending on what weapon he wants to study and play with, start the sim (in tarmac for ramp start practice as well, but with options for runway or air starts), and then make his way to whichever waypoint he wants to practice with his ordnance. The ability to land back at Bantumi and repair/refuel/rearm would be the best icing on this cake. An orbiting refueling aircraft for aerial refueling practice would be the cherry on top!

 

Granted that I have no mission-editor experience or knowledge at all, is this possible, or is it just wishful thinking on my part?

I had planned on a making a 'proper' training mission.. but here is a half cocked wip one.. it is by no means what i had planned but something to get started on.. good for all weapons type.

 

• Clear weather..
   
  
• Ramp start.
   
  
• WP 2 has nothing but static soft targets & structures to attack at your leisure. Nothing will fire back
   
  
• WP 3 has armoured targets, T55, T72 & T80s
   
  
• WP 4 has a sam site.. radar, tunguska, stela and some fluff.
   
  
• The vehicles at WP 2 & 3 will repsawn when you kill a group. The sam site will remain dead.
   
  
• Single player or multiplayer up to 4 clients.

Under "Missions" at the bottom of the list is weapons training, they have lots of targets to play with. Lined up in a row for bombing and strafe as well as maverick type etc. 100's of them

JeffC-

 

In my Missions module, there are five missions. The last one is "Medium-West Georgia-Winter"

 

Is that what you are referring to?
