You guys really should consider releasing a separate "missions and campaigns" bonus patch with each iteration (4.10, 4.11, 4.12 etc.)

I really liked have the Bi-1 and the I-16 micro-campaigns in the first couple of patches released for Il-2. It really helped you get into the new airplanes. Even if it is just three high-quality missions strung in a row, it is a lot better than the dozen new planes added to QMB (which I generally ignore) and half a dozen missions (which aren't enough to get a feel for the aircraft involved and are thus forgettable) that we got with AEP and PF.

My suggestion: Recruit three or four mission builders to the beta team (maybe it will even speed up the beta to have novel missions focussing on the new features).

Just a plug for a good, old and forgotten feature.

Sounds like a really good idea! I've been having the same thoughts myself.

If I was good at building fun/memorable missions I would totally jump on this

[Tempest123]

Yeah, I agree with this idea, I would definitely be willing to volunteer my time to make some deomstration missions for new content.

I'll give a big +1 to Avimimus' suggestion. I really enjoyed the Me163B-1 campaign where you start by doing test and training flights and then progress into interception missions.

Cheers,

S!

Nice idea I think there will be a ton of missions when 4.10 is released and people get the new toys

I love seeing this type of post sequence happen repetitively, it really makes me smile:

Poster 1: "Any news? We haven't heard anything for ages!"
Poster 2: "Two weeks! LOL."
Poster 3: "They've told us a million times, they're working on it!"
Poster 4: "Yeah but what could be taking so long?"
Poster 5: "They're doing it in their own time, you should be grateful!"
Poster 6: "Nah, they've given up, the world is ending"
Poster 7: "Yep, give us a Beta, or less content, something, anything!"
Poster 8: "No, take your time, get it right!"
Poster 9: "No, release it now or I'm leaving!!"
TD: "Don't panic, we're working on it."
Poster 9: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 8: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 7: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 6: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 5: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 4: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 3: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 2: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 1: "Thanks for the update TD!"

Excellent summary. All I need is to print it up and tape it to the monitor and I won't have to see your pretty mugs anymore Ahh... but that would be sanity, right? *sigh*
