2. When a client selects a side (red/blue) he is placed into an aircraft of this side. He can then select the aircraft he wants within the radio menu
3. When all players selected their aircraft the idle block is removed from all air units and the mission starts.

Yes it is a work around. Yes it doesn't have the GUI but it works very similar to the old COOP style.

And you don't need any programming knowledge. Simply copy/paste the script into your mission and that's it.

Thank You Banks!

That sounds like the 'thing' everyone said they wanted/needed! S!

Well, according to this poll 90% of the people who care about this feature are either having problems making it work or feel that the way it works isn't right.

If 10% is your definition of success,...

Alternatively, you could offer to make these coop missions for people who are having trouble. That'd be helpful. I have a few I'd like made.

Change is never easy..

Reword the poll and place it in the FMB forum and Ill bet you have the oposite results

Who said change was easy? It's hard!

Can I PM you with the missions I want so you can help me out? I'm going out of my mind trying to get these to work, but you seem to have figured it out.

In original Il-2 Dogfight and COOP were separated due to engine limitation only. There is no COOP mode IRL and it was not supposed to be in a sim.

Now the devs created the engine where division to 2 different modes is not necessary. There is one gamemode that is called MP that simulates real life. It is supposed to include both dogfight and coop features. In this new reality COOP interface only limits the available MP gamemode prohibiting some features like re-spawn, etc. The issue is MP mode does not include all coop features of original IL-2 via GUI yet. This has to be fixed imo.

In other words in the past we had 2 separate game modes: dogfight and coop. Now coop is a part of dogfight mode. However for better usability and user friendliness we need a GUI for coop part only.

E.g. when starting a MP server (that some call Dogfight) a host should be able to check a checkbox "Simultaneous start" and one of checkboxes in "Mission end conditions" section: 1) endless, 2) all planes landed/destroyed, 2) time limit, 3) planes of one side destroyed, 4) trigger, etc. Then the game should display debriefing after mission end.

BTW CloD architecture allows all servers to have their own GUI via server-side addons (including COOP GUI of cause). The devs did not have time to provide a working example of it but mentioned that it is done as a standard WPF interface.

Maybe one of C# programmers can make a GUI add-on before we have a solution from the devs.

To be honest, my focus on scripts is on collecting in flight data..

During that process I have looked at alot of 'other' script examples that Ataros has posted, and while doing so I saw some of the neat stuff there are doing!!

But I havn't personally done any mission scripting in the mission sence.. Just logging flight data

So, Ataros is the guy to ask! And there are some other very bright guys in the FMB section of this fourm too! But check out Ataros's sig at the bottom, he has a bunch of links to a bunch of examples that will get you going!

FMB is not COOP...

With coop you shouldnt need to spend a large amount of time trying to setup a coop, when are you going to get that SIMPLE fact in your head?

You keep on bringing Ataros into this but he voted for a coop system as well lmao FAIL

No ACE, we want a intuitive easy to use method of making CO-OPs with its own GUI. Just like IL2.
Hence the flipping name of the poll!!!
