New campaign from scratch - suggestion & hints
-
Hi All,
Just to share my experience. I moved to other theater, now Balkan and the thing going very well. No issues on ground or air units. Awacs fly Ok and so the F16 squadron. Planning engine works very well.
Now i am going to study the events stuff and the .tri. Reading around in the forum I will post information and i would like to share what i am undertanding on the way.
Stay tuned.

OK. Reading information on forum is quite easy to build a simple tri file with Win conditions from both part. I changes even same report strings to fit the message and link this on what is happening in the custom campaign.
What is very difficult (for me) is to make missions in line with the scope. I mean ā¦i put OCA priority as 100 but HQ seems to quite ignore it, and when it choose finally a OCA mission the target is an airport without an enemy squadron.
I make even the modification on falcon file suggested in the forum to avoid suicide missions. Change the priority by MC and so on, changed the specific role of the squadron,ā¦this do not have the result i was hope to achieve.
Any hints on this? Thanks

Be patient. This is a world of frustration youāre entering in. And this will never stop.

AAAAAAHH ! Great Lorikā¦
Yes i saw. Just an example, even in Balkan it occured that an airplane that was OK for a F16 squadron before after some parameter changes (i didnāt understand exactly which one unfortunatly) doesnāt work and i had to change airport (maybe some link deleted i dont knowā¦).
But this is an interesting world because i cannot see the āendā and this is the good part Its like an MMO without one sigle way to do something.

Hi Max,
I saw the video and applied the suggestions on my custom campaign, really useful.
One question, you put a C130H squadron for supply out of mapā¦so beyond the border. Why ? many thanks.

I donāt remember but you can define offmap airbases in the campaigns / TEsā¦
Best practice though is to keep offmap for transports and support squadrons (tankers, awacs, jstars). <-- Keep those numbers low though, A squad per type will be enoughā¦Fighter squads will not play nicely with it because they will always be there to attack and spawn QRAā¦ (But if you plan on an extra challenge, then why notā¦)
Cheers
