Spitfire on my tail pt1- offline campaign

[topgum]

THX, Bolox,
so I fly my first campaign. I did the first 3 missions, not much yet.
First impression: very demanding, but interesting to fly in formation and checking your six for your "ingame surprises" at one time.
But once when the mission is done and all your squad mates got safly back to homebase, death has his terrible harvest because of the (stupid) AI tries to taxi into boxes which are allready occupied by static a/c, so they are destroying themself. Even when I follow your landing-order instructions, and everything went well, for some reasons there are losses that are mentioned in the debriefing (but this happens in singleplayer-missions as well).
Anyway, I like it and I will go on.

yeah the way game engine destroys landed planes then counts them as 'shot down' is 'more than slightly annoying'.

One goal I have for further scripting is to "keep score" in a way that gets round this but that might take a while
For now we just have to turn a 'Nelsonian Eye' to some of the problems and enjoy the good bits

This is designed to be demanding but the story allows it to be 'fairly' enemy free for the early missions, hopefully this fives some 'training time' without being too boring.

Glad you are enjoying it

Bolox, thx for putting in the time and effort to do this. Makes flying offline a lot more fun.

You hav done a good job to turn a book where he spends most of the war NOT in combat...sitting around his airfield playing with his radios, then getting shot down over UK...into a good campaign I am enjoying!

Thanks
