Mission Planner: How to set a flight with a delayed start?

[MadTommy]

Hi, i'm new to the IL2 series, but i always like to make missions in the sims i fly, so i've been playing with the Mission Planner tool.

One thing i can't figure out is how to create a flight that does not start at the start of the mission. Say the mission starts at 12:00 and i want a flight of bombers to spawn at 12:30 for example. I can't see an option to do this, but i assume it must be possible.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Lol hello again mate

Atm this FMB doesnt have that feature... Someone update me and show me if im wrong please

Maybe have a look at the "trigger" feature... say if you shot down all the bombers (12:00 onwards) currently on map, then a new group could appear afterwards??? - got work now so i can try it out
Cheers

Update - I know you can do it in IL2 1946 (made a "bomber attack" map where they would come at you (home base) at different times...

Please be wrong.. as that seems unbelievable to me, such an important feature!

There must be a suitable work around if you are right....

in the FMB go to edit, script, i havent fiddled too much but it would appear there you can create scripts and then apply them to aircraft groups you have created, when i went into "actions" i noticed one named spawn so i would imagine having a fiddle there should work

if i were going to test this id make a quick airgroup on an airfield make a spawn script for it then park a camera or player aircraft there and see what pops up

If it is the same than IL2 you can by make it appear later, not activated later but spawn later.

I could be wrong. -

Thanks, i've looked that this.. but can't figure it out.
There is a box i ticked called: Script Spawn C.. but no idea what it does..and the Trigger and Action are also equally meaningless to me i'm afraid. I can assign spawn script to a plane.. but that is all.





The 'script' section is empty, and i have no experience in scripting in IL2, i have no idea what language or varables to use. Clueless!

I hope also it is.
But like always the mission builder is not a finished work.
Wait and see.
