Creating/Editing .DFS Files
-
Hello All:
I was wondering how one goes about creating/editing Dogfight (.dfs) files. Obviously they aren’t available in TE, so I was wondering how to create your own.
Thanks

I know i am late to the party and also without any usefull info…PMC wiki info is very sparse here:https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=falcon4:campaign:files&s[]=dfs&s[]=files
just:*.dfs *.dfs Dogfight files?
thats all…I am curious also about that file. Not readable as text. Would be nice to know, if it is theater size dependent.

Late to the party?? … just 7 yearsBut from what I see internal in file , 2 header bytes define type of gameplay: 00 furball , 01 team , 02 matchplay
Anything else is a mystery.… But!.. why??is it important anyway. It is just saved profile from DF page itself … file-name doesn’t matter.
Explain, yes?

TY.
Lets say I am having a lot of fun with 256 seg AF (airline flyer) last year…well my midson is going boarding house with notebook, I like F4 with him and airline flyer is just few hundreds of MBs, also much less switchology for teenagers. But my dogfight module is rather instable, TEs rocking stable. I can remember this even with other AF theaters in the past - like 128 POH for example…these had some stability problems with InstantAct and DF module too.
When tried last default airline flyer 1.13 64seg *.dfs its even worse, these have problem passing postcard phase…so got suspiction if it should be updated in some way…BTW DF is good for testing as well…like to jump from Iceland to Kola, then from Syria to Alpes…I will try to hide my Firefox behind Ural like Clint did as well…and these pesky Kadalashka sams and Kremlins, u know…

Ah,. AF. … yeeees.
No from what I see it is same thing (figures, F4 fork) . 51bytes any dfs file except ‘start-new’ , 35bytes.But, again, it is just saved profile of already configured DF playgame, so, what I want to say, It shouldn’t have anything with the theater … same file/profile in any theater… (checked Balkans and Korea in AF, don’t have other theaters installed)
Cheers
