Force10, you totally.. and I mean totally ignore all the positives that come with the new CoD missions ... It is evident from your example that you don't even want to read those few self explaining crystal clear fool proof C# lines. I'm disgusted ... .

[robtek]

Dont forget that quite a few things that were avaílable in old IL2, and now are requested here for CoD, were done by enthusiastic flightsimmers after old Il2 was on the scene a few years already.

Now here with CoD, where much is different, you want it done instantly by MG, which never did it in first place.

[Force10]

I'm not taking away anything from the person who created the script. If anything, it shows how much work he put into it and he should be applauded for his efforts for the community. But the crowd who is telling us "Just make it yourself" and that it's "easy" are the ones taking away from the guy who created it.

Robtek, instantly? where did anyone say that?

So again, were not allowed to ask?

[SlipBall]

It does no harm to ask, in fact it would be very easy for them to add it, I think/unknown...I just would like to hear from someone who is using this coop now. Maybe others would try it then, and have fun with it.

As you can clearly see, it practically writes itself! Not sure why this would discourage any newcomers to the COD family.

I hope the team can offer up what some old school designers want but
your example is just the point of the whole argument...some kind sole has already made that coop for anyone and all to use. All that is needed is to edit any change that you would like to see implemented, or use it as is, till skills are developed amongst the squad for C#. Coops is not like going out to get a burger
