Poll!! Regarding old style Coop GUI

[furbs]

If like some say its possible to play CO-OPs with CLOD...then why after all this time is nobody playing them?

Hands up if you have joined a CO-OP with CLOD?(and not if your Ataros or his mate)

A real CO-OP that you joined via the game lobby.

Anyone?

I agree.

But now is possible to make an online war way better than SEOW, without any old GUI. But of course someone have to do it. There was no SEOW since the beggining of old IL2, right?

If there a form of ready room, so everyone starts at the same time. Otherwise, there's no cohesion to the mission imo.

If this can be done with the scripting and can be easily used by everyone, not just programmers than yes.

Can it, i don't know?

Everyone can start at the same time with the coop script if the planes are on the ground: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?p=354537

To use it in any mission just copy the .cs file to the mission folder and rename it exactly like the .mis file. Or open the mission in the FMB and copy the script there.

Our squad did actually, organized here:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=27107

BUT... it was just a perversion of a real coop, as the time critical help of a proper GUI was missing. As said above, great deal of cohesion was missing. The joining process is a mess as everybody has to be organized to join the server at exactly at the same time. And that just doesn't work. Nevertheless, it was all fun until CTDing after 15min of flight on the first mission, and about 30min on the second

It would've helped somewhat if the planes on the fields would be prefitted with certain weaponry (apparently this is possible?) so you wouldn't have to fiddle the armaments to match mission criteria before hitting 'create'.

What we need now is the old style coop GUI back the way it was, done by the devs OR some script-thingie-wait-until-mission-start-lobby-system by the community, I really don't care how or by whom it's done, but we do need it

No offence but it don't resolve any of the issues raised regarding the CooP GUI which is the point of the poll.

Seriously, what's missing? Debriefing?

The ability for all pilots to pick an aircraft before "server start and the ability to start in the air all at the same time.

Which is a really nice IL-2 feature when you wan't to train the same ACM situation again and again. It also makes evaluation of an ACM training a lot easier. You can also use it for a lot of other action packed missions.

You are right this was not possible so far. But now you can use the new coop lobby mission from here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=28559
It allows the host to preselect a mission. All players can then select a aircraft from the upcoming mission. When everyone is ready the host starts the mission and all players are placed into the selected aircraft.
