making CloD a success

[Ataros]

I am not in to coops myself and can not be sure but I think there is still a WPF.Unavailable error appears in plane list if planes are located further than 20 km from bottom left corner of the map (initial player position when player joined server). Did not test with the recent mini-fix but in the 1st alpha I still saw WPF.Unavailable error.

To overcome this you can:
1) use Banks coop lobby which also allows simultaneous AI and players start or
2) place 1 - 4 SpawnAreas within 20 km radius from desired aircraft groups as suggested by Bliss above. In this case all players will:
- spawn in TigerMoths at spawn area within 20 km radius from desired planes
- switch to desired aircraft without error now
A 2 minutes delay can be included into the mission to allow everyone to join and spawn in TigerMoths first.

Both are not hard at all when you do it once. 3 button or mouse presses literally.

Another advantage of Banks script is that you can take any SP mission and play it as a coop without editing IIRC. Mission collection is also available at the forums.
