Mission Planning - How do you do it?
-
I see a lot of people like to mark ABs via the DTC. I see lots of ROK AB names in teh drop down, but not DPRK. What should I use as the PPT type for enemy ABs?
-
Whatever you want; just edit the ppt.ini file in your \Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Campaign\Save folder.

I use AAA rings because I never use them for legitimate threats. There is usually something more deadly than AAA to be worried about where they are located.
Zooming out on the HSD the AAA threat rings dotted around on the active hostile airbases can be useful for SA when AWACS calls ‘launch activity’ with a BE reference.

Never thought to do that! Thanks!

Haha touché. I’m playing a fairly easy RF campaign as I’m 100% single player and VERY rusty. Much of the enemy air force is done, and my current strategy is to task myself DEAD missions to pummel the DRPF AD force. Working well so far. Will concentrate on AAA soon, leaving BAI/CAS etc. tasked by HQ to A10s.

Did not know could create my own default PPT type! Used WDP to make a new one called Airbase, and set the HSD label to AB with a 5nm ring. Handy!

Stop pussyfooting around and get back into MP flying; you know you want to :mrgreen:

there is a default PPT for airfields, it’s called “basedefensezone” and it’s a 30nm ring, AFAIK.

I saw that and guessed that it might be that, but I assumed a 30nm was a little too large. Ah well, I have two options now

I’ve been using this self-designed “mission sheet” for a while to help with mission planning in addition to MC, kneeboards and maps both in MP and SP:
You can download the LibreOffice source file here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1983539/bms/mission_sheet.odg
it contains two copies so you can print them out in a convinient A5 format.
All the best,
