So, now what?

[J. Heller]

I know how to fly and fight in the aircraft, the missions and campaigns are ho-hum and the multiplayer has almost no one using it. What am I supposed to do now? I have no interest in the ME, are there going to be any more campaigns released anytime soon? Aside from the ME there appears to be zero replayability here... What do the rest of you do?

Alright, so you're not interested in creating your own missions (which really is the replayability bit right there, whether you like it or not - and it's quite powerful), there's user contributed missions, and there's multiplay. There's also the random mission generator for those quick skirmishes.

Well if you know all that there is to know then why not channel your knowledge into tutorials to aid those still on the learning curve - CDU would be a good place to start.

Have you tried the RAT yet? ;)

Never said I knew it all, I said I know how to fly and fight. I'm sure the CDU cant be too complicated, I have been flying airliners in FS since 2004. I must admit i have not even once done anything besides press the nav button on the A-10 CDU.

 

This random mission generator, have you guys used it and does it create any missions worth flying or does it like to make the combat area a SAM haven with no SEAD aircraft to help out?

I have a problem with creating missions. That problem is that after I create the mission there is no value in flying it since I know exactly what to expect and this kinda takes the fun out, you know what I mean?

I am interested in the random mission generator however, assuming it works well that is.

Some missions have SEAD some don't it's "Random" :) Just stay high, above 12000 and you should be ok (In most cases).

I think you are under-estimating the value of a purpose-built mission, but sure, I know what you mean. You can apply the randomization functionality to your own missions if you want to go that deep and make'em fairly replayable.

 

In any case, like I said above, there are plenty of user-contributed missions, some of them fairly dynamic or at least re-playable.

 

The random mission generator works. It works for me, your mileage may vary though.

What do the rest of you do?

 

Practice. There's always something to get better at, so I actually spend most of my flying time either around the home plate, at the shooting range I've made for myself, or flying between them. The other day I spent a few hours practicing landings. When my currently crappy internet connection so allows I try to get a bit of MP-time in - working in a team is always interesting no matter the scenario.

Patrice some stuff.

 

You could join a Virtual Sqd??

 

What time zone are you?

[ilikepie]

i re read the manual and try and make more sense of it.

Have to admit that I think the biggest weakness in this game is the replayability. Multiplayer and user made missions are your best bet, multiplayer especially.

 

I am looking forward to when ED include a feature in the ME which makes randomisation easier. i.e. place unit at random within a trigger area or the like. Using random flags to create a binary style solution is just much too hard.

[rud]

I haven't done anything but missions from the "fast mission" generator for months. Just pick a starting location, choose the density of friends and enemies that you want, then generate.

You talking about A-10C, get FC2 and fly that online.

There is nothing else to do, therefore you will not need your Sim, your sim peripherals or even your PC anymore. I will PM you my address and you can send all that stuff to me since there is nothing left to do :D

Lol, I cant give away my PC yet. If Battlefield 3 is a big failure then you can have it all for sure.:thumbup:

Heller, did you get your MP registration problem fixed? The support guys were trying to get hold of your through your thread.
