AI goes from idle only when all players select 2. from the menu as described. The script must be running (have the same name as mission file). If the script places you into a cockpit automatically this means that a script is running. If not, you can open console and look for errors.

I think usual difficulty checkboxes in server settings must be unchecked to allow it running correctly (like side switching, etc.)

I will have a look again my problem was as soon as a side was selected it threw me ito the mission in a cockpit.

This is how this script is supposed to work.

Then if he does not like the plane selection he can choose another airgroup, aircraft or position via the Mission Menu: press TAB then 4 , etc. When a player is happy with the selection he should confirm that he is ready to fly via selecting "2" in the menu.

Otherwise you would not be able to change or select planes in some cases because data about planes located beyond 20km radius from a player is not transmitted by CloD network code. This is the reason why we have WPF.Unavailable message in aircraft-lists very often. Default player position is lower left corner of the map as far as I know and in case an airgroup is located more then 20 km away we have to change player position to a closer one before the player can occupy a seat in the airgroup. This is the difference from original Il-2 network code that causes issues with coop.

All I can see that script doing is some sort of work around for the Channel map being able to be used in a Frankenstein type CooP.

I was thinking more along the original IL2 1946 CooP's , it worked perfectly well.

Why is it so different ?

Why cant they simply make it the same or very similar to the old system ?

At the moment there's no scoring system or mission win/loose no ready room / debriefing room, its a mess to be honest.

It needs the 1C team to rethink the CooP GUI and fix it properly.

See my original post.

I think because Oleg did not manage or was not allowed to finish it. Now the team probably has different urgent priorities to keep the project alive. It is better than having the project completely closed imho.

Win/loss condition depends on mission maker how he or she programs it. Several people are working on online statistics for CloD. I think it will meet all mentioned requirements when combined with the above script.

Hmm lot of speculation there.................

It don't matter who didn't finish it, it's an important part of multi-player and getting the sim/game online with more than just the necessary "experten" scripted Dogfight servers

This is not a user friendly approach to multi-player in CoD lets hope they fix it soon.

Nothing to learn if it don't exist

Anyway my primary purchase reason was for CooP missions and the FMB with its new features etc etc.................

Guess I'll join the queue and wait quietly.

Quite agree with this. User-friendliness was lost together with Oleg's perfectionism imho. Hope it comes back soon.

PS. BTW I think Kodiak or other experienced C# programmers can modify naryv's script to do anything that it does not do yet. However the thread about the script received only a few replies which means that the demand is not very high either.

Because its working as a CooP script, only as a work around to fly on the Channel Map without using Dog Fight spawn bases.

Its just as easy to use normal CooP mode on other maps as it don't really do much else in that respect.
