Mission briefing/ debriefing

[33 309th_Hedgehog]

How do you do your mission planning?

 

1. How do you get your flight plan? Do you keep everything in your mind? Or do you write down on a piece of paper all waypoints, headings, altitudes and so on?

 

2. How do you save the mission data in the Debriefing Panel after flight for fürther discussion, analyzing AFTER LOCK ON SERVER IS SHUT DOWN?

 

@ED: do you plan some export functionality? Shold be very easy to export the data to a simple text file. And would be VERY helpful.

 

(I think: writing down the details at a piece of paper with my ballpen is very stone age like ...)

I remember what I can, although I have somewhere a mission planning card that shipped with the early printed manuals that I can write stuff down on if I have to.

 

There was a mod for v1.02 that put flightplan info on the pilots leg texture as a kneeboard . . . . the downside was that you had to remember to write the information to the texture before starting the game.

 

Neat mod, though.

 

 

I haven't discovered a way to save the MP debriefing other than screenshots - which work pretty well for me.

 

There IS an export trick if you know exactly what you're doing. Someone's been experimenting with it . . . . but I can't remember who or where.

 

Can't be of much more help on that one - unless you try searching the forums for exporting debriefings?

 

 

And re it being stone-age like . . . . . you do know even the vaunted RL fighter pilots occasionally have to rely on a printed or handwritten card in-flight? ;)

 

An easier export function for the flightplan map might make life easier, granted. At the moment you need a screenie, a picture-editing program . . . and of course a printer.

Yes...

 

The irony is, that this feature is already coded... only it works for .cmp files, not for .mis files, so it's useless for multiplayer. :confused:

 

Shout from the rooftops - WE NEED THIS ABILITY!!!

 

IMHO - more than any other bug fix or feature
