RE: Request Korea 1995 for 4.37
@Seifer This is actually a fairly easy modification to make if you want to give it a go. I have setup Campaigns in the KTO /Balkans using similar parameters to make surviving the missions a bit easier and let the “Rookie” pilots gain some useful experience. To Start: Open Falcon BMS and get your Campaign setup (but don’t start it) and then save the file E.g. IF_F-16vsMiG-21. (Download &) Open the program Mission Commander > Select File > Open Mission and look for your New Campaign under the appropriate folder (E.g. C:\Falcon BMS 4.3x\Data\Campaign) Click Open.
Select the “Units” tab. Select "Squadrons under the All Air heading. (If it isn’t already selected) Here you will see a list of all the Squadrons in the Campaign. If you want to limit the enemy forces, look for the enemy aircraft in the list (or use the Country filter at the top to show only those). To edit things double click on one of the Enemy Squadrons (take for instance a Su-27 Squadron). This action will open up another window that specifically deals with this Squadrons information. Look in the upper left and select the “Change Aircraft Type” button. Using the pull-down menu scroll down until you see a MiG-21 type (or lessor) and select it > click “Apply”. You will now see that the program has loaded MiG-21 aircraft and the appropriate weapons for this aircraft type > Click “Apply” Now you can continue down the list downgrading any enemy squadron aircraft types. If you want to further tip the odds in your favour you can upgrade some of the friendly forces in a similar fashion. (Note: Stay in certain parameters though E.g. the airbase has to support the type of aircraft you select so don’t go putting big jets at a helipad or highway strip) After you are finished your edits select Save (or Save as if you prefer to rename the Campaign file.) If you keep your edits to this basic level you shouldn’t break anything and it will produce the Airwar you can be “Ace of the Base” at. Now return to Falcon BMS and look for your file in Campaign > Saved (and come back in one piece - CheersOption #2 is to fly some of the Panama Campaigns (in 4.36 at least) as Hells Fury has a scenario where your adversaries are F-5s and A-4s

RE: Panama Theatre for 4.36
@Chuckles
Thanks to the Panama crew for sorting this out. I certainly enjoy this theater for the reasons you stated (reduced flight times and an option to run a relatively short campaign). Falcon BMS campaign engine is awesome with so many ways and variables to gain a victory (or defeat) Looking forward to giving 1.3 a go! (After I finish the 1.2 campaign)- Cheers

RE: Campaign Priorities and "Suicidal" Missions
@tiag Excellent work on that video tiag. Campaign engine sliders and PAKs have always been a focal point of my BMS Campaign game-play analysis, however your note on the xml files shed some additional light on these settings - Thanks for putting this video together - Really enjoyed it

RE: Fragging a mission problem.
@Thierry I have found that it usually is related to a flight speed coming from one of the waypoints and it needs to be adjusted up to match the previous or next waypoints (or at least a logical speed) You will see the red disappear when you come up to a decent speed - and then set it for something sane. As mentioned before take the locks off before making adjustments here - Cheers
