Organising flights in a multisquad campaign.

[Osprey]

Now this stuff looks very promising.

I'm going to crack open VS express and have a bigger look. I can't write the stuff but adapting it may be easier.

[5./JG27.Farber]

Kodiak thats great. Were gonna give it a whirl on our server today. I have some ideas for expansion. Could there be some kind of delay between requesting the information and recieving it, say 4 mins? This would simulate the request going to and from the lines of communication. Also. What if some radars are knocked out or damaged? Can this be simulated also?

P.S. I know how you feel with the renovation, Ive been doing it for 4 months now. It will be finished this week. What a grind.

[FG28_Kodiak]

you wanna ask the operators with the mission menu? and than after 4min you will get the response? This is possible without problem.
Okay for clearance, when we use "radars" will you give the messages to the Airgroups in range of a spezific radarstation or to all. So if you hit the 'radarbutton' then you get Information of all Enemies Airgoups in range of any available radarstation or only from this you are in Range?

is that because there is no airgroups loaded yet?

Okay for clearance, when we use "radars" will you give the messages to the Airgroups in range of a spezific radarstation or to all. So if you hit the 'radarbutton' then you get Information of all Enemies Airgoups in range of any available radarstation or only from this you are in Range?

Hmm if the radar closest gave the information that would be good otherwise it is as if the aircraft has the radar, or maybe not?

How would you ask the radar?

[FG28_Kodiak]

via MissionMenu.

[csThor]

If my input is allowed. I agree with Kodiak about the menu thing. Think of it as a Squadron Leader "registering" with a certain Sector Station Ops Room to receive RADAR information. That could be easily done either by making this selection available in the menu (i.e. Select Sector -> Biggin Hill, Kenley, Tangmere etc - if you want more structure and accept a slightly higher workload for the squadron leader) or simply via a distance check for the airgroup (if it's supposed to be easier).

I do, however, suggest to take a look at how the Squad Select Series at Warbirds and the Friday Squad Ops at Aces High II operate. They appoint a CO prior to a run and he has to devise a general plan. Since we lack the numbers they can (theoretically) operate with there would, of course, be some adaptations necessary. My suggestion would be:

1.) Select one squad for CO duty prior to the run. Rotate this position within the squad pool after each run.
2.) Give the CO a number of targets he can choose from. For example a mission set in August 1940 would give the Luftwaffe CO a list of primary airfields of which he has to hit a certain number (depending on number of players, I guess no more than two for CloD) plus a list of secondary targets which may give the LW additional points. This way you create a more realistic Fog of War situation in which the RAF doesn't know which targets will be hit by the LW in advance.

For the RAF this CO duty is, of course, not that important. Later it will certainly become more important once we move to theaters which include offensive ops by both sides.

[_79_dev]

Kodiak, Your script for generating voice messages due to distance from blue Airgroup seems to be working fine on server console, however I can't test it physically my self cause I am on holidays and using IPod at the moment (can't run Cliffs of Dover on iPod...yet). If someone can give us a hand pleas go to 5jg27.net there is direct connect button to server.

Just one more question, by the look at the script It supose to give radio messages every x amount of seconds or do I have to go to TAB menu to ask for message? (just getting confused here)

[FG28_Kodiak]

At the moment with time amount, but it's no problem doing this via menu. But at the moment there is the problem with the missionmenu for the red side on dediserver, so it's better to wait for the patch, and hope the patch solving this problem.
How many of this Sector Station Ops Room where available at BoB? How many radars and other observers was attached to one station?
