Thanks guys I’ll give it a shot and you cannot set negative integers as it’ll kick back something like 62000+ damage instead 😄

Reinforcement in Falcon (any Flavor) has been iffy at best when we try to build it into TE or Camp.
There are many criteria that the CODE considers B4 releasing the “Hounds of Hell”……;)
Just an example: IF the Ground UNIT has not reached a certain level of depletion, then the CODE will NOT reinforce it and instead order it to fight on…until that criteria is met.
That is just one simple example.
We could take a Squadron as next example, CODE queries? Are they out of airframes,pilots,stores? Do they have the advantage at the moment in game? If so what does the .tri file say about this and do we have enough available to reinforce? Is the Airbase still viable?
And a host of other test’s that the CODE does B4 releasing those reinforcements…so we see???

The Campaigns\TE’s in Falcon are built on a Dynamic code that even the creators have had a hard time explaining over the years…there are some references out there, Chris Carruthers diatribe comes to mind, that will help you when it comes to campaign building in Falcon.

Push - any ideas?

@Red:

Thanks Blackwolf.
I’ll have a look. I already use F4res for the maps

Did a little summary for a quite similar situation in another thread, linking.

@white_fang:

But they will be functional after re-loading your autosave in campaign / BMS. Just dont touch autosave with MC at that point , dont edit and save. (Or you can do both, just don’t add squadrons to active table)

So, step by step… doh. , You’re in campaign , and on day x , carrier appears but there are no squadrons on it. OK, exit campaign , BMS will do autosave at that point automatically.

Now, load that autosave in BMS from main campaign menu, like continuing campaign from last time… Squadrons on carrier are , should be , functional. That’s it.

Or, you’ve did something wrong. , maybe.?!

Best practice is that if reinforcement, carrier appears first, then squadrons after an hour or later.

Yes I tried that, not to avail. Adding squadrons to the info table does work.

@gza036:

Thanks TomCatz that worked. And we need this campaign guide badly!

1/ Make a separate theater as you did, so you don’t need to manipulate the original folder anymore.
2/ You can find the 2D pictures files in art/resource and unpack them with F4restool - pretty self-explanatory. You can then edit them (with FastStone for instance); they come inverted, you save them not inverted and in 16-bits (256 colours), repack them and place the new files in the art/resource folder.
3/ 2D text is in art/main/theater.irc

It wasn’t very clear to me in your post, but editing squadron stores doesn’t work, I suppose you edited the available weapons for every aircraft you want to tweak (I created new hardpoints for block 50/52, affected them to block 50/52, you can’t equip them with certain top-notch weapons I wanted to keep for block 42 - just an example). Then you squadron stores can be full, but not entirely usable.

No plan // Don’t run planning AI on this unit (don’t think engine resets/update this flag )
Assigned // Unit has assigned objective set , probably even if aobj=0 (tho, it can be reset by engine, like most flags - dirty unit)
Ordered // Execute units waypoints/orders to that aobj ??? … like support/commando/airdefense certain objective

Basically , dont use GTM on battalion… ATM if squadron… on flagged unit. … I’ve seen those set in ur Balkans on carriers TF’s … but since, as Tazz said, NTM is darkest place of F4
… taskforces still move (waypoints, tho) and shoot even with NO_PLAN set
has this any effect on taskforces?? NTM?? - don’t think so

I wouldn’t use no planning if really I wouldn’t like to see something really scripted. (as planned 😉 )

whoopss… necro, sorry. haven’t look the date

Nordic.

@Malc:

Would someone be able to remind me the procedure for replacing Flags (as shown in OOB, etc.) please? It has been so long I have forgotten how to do it.

TIA

Okay… tutorial on how to do it in 3 easy steps (the fourth, requiring much more effort method, will follow)

http://www.rusty-cage.com/share/BMS4_create_and_import_flags.pdf

Awesome!
Do you have any idea how to add new flags to the simulation? by that i mean - you can change with Mission Commander the current flags to new ones (for example, changing without replacing nations with flags of Hamas in gaza, ISIS in syria or combination of nations just for specific TEs)

Hello all,

I hope that someone could be able to help me figure this one out as I’ve been scratching my head on this one for a few days.

I was messing around with the KTO theater and wanted to move all of the aircraft spawning points (save the large ones) into the north and south loops of Kunsan. However, upon doing so I seemed to have screwed up the AI in the process.
At first I ran into what Tom catz ran into, which is where the AI line up in a line on spawning in (A+ to the aircraft marshallers and parking folk on their alignment) so I redid the entire taxi point system. However I have run into a new problem now. The AI will cut the corner before turning onto a taxiway from another taxiway and the other issue is that if a player is ahead and forward of an AI aircraft in a HAS such as the first two in the southern loop, the AI will not taxi past the human player.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

VB

@Racefuel85:

I apologize for coming in a bit…claws out.

I’m used to the DCS world where you have to be a bit of a jerk…

No need 2 feel like that m8.
At least that was not my point.
Slowly this community is growing in respect of doers and sharing but still are few.
So we keep proposing and asking ppl to get involved besides ideas.
Newcomers don’t actually know how this community works.
So someone must do it.
On the other hand some come with the spirit: hey jerks why didn’t u already done those and burst a huge list or low priority staff. This gets ppl of the community to show their claws. [emoji38]

Simmers bliahhhh…

Hi,

every help is higly welcome for Ostsee Theater. Just send me a PM.

Cheers
Tom

Thanks very much for that info, RD!

@Red:

Balkan and nevada will be complete for 4.34, not before

3-4 Falcon weeks!! 😄

@Phantom11:

Gentlemen, there is a 3D cockpit A-6E from Free Falcon 5.5. Can it be adapted for the BMS?

It’s Qawa pit. Need somebody covert it into working lod.

Btw vnam fans can try Nordic theater-1965 cam, fly f4 or mig21, The sim experience is close.

@Viper:

Tried it yesterday… BMS starts up normaly with active KTO Theater.
So far so good, but still not able to switch the Theater to another than the stock-ones

This is why…

Balkans Kneemap http://www.mediafire.com/file/4n6r7orxx0a4dfl/Balkans_KneeMap.rar

Would be good to fully complete polish the existing ones first IMO … before considering new one.

I recommend to stay away from PMC payware … they are nothing but unfinished coming from pre-4.32 and are non working stuff. Spending money for those makes no sens. PMC stopped to be supported by BMS since they became payware. Additionally, they won’t works on future version.

Good resources for both photoreallistic textures and custom airbases. Thanks

seems ACP DOES check add-on theater sim data content

someone with ITO 1.02 could not connect to server ITO 1.03 … ACP ERROR

Thank you Tommygun!
