Personally I'm trying to find a way to take offline missions and make them work online so I can run campaigns in MP. If anybody knows where I can find or do that please tell me

Look at how to make delayed spawn possible in CoD and compare that to old IL2 1946.

Then tell me its better ?

C# is more flexible in FMB scripting but its made the FMB non user friendly and time consuming.

We desperately need a manual on some screen shot tutorials as in the link above.

There is no C# required for delayed spawning

I wasn't talking about C# just the process involved now to do the simple things like delay spawn.

As for a manual, get a book on C# and a decent IDE (MS Visual Studio Express for C# is FREE) and you are away for anything more complex.

I have MS Visual Studio & Sams C# and have been ploughing through it for the last 3 weeks.

It takes the fun of the FMB and its full features away from 99% of CoD owners though.

Hopefully a manual will be forthcoming that explains the functions like the difference between splines and simply adding vehicles to the map road systems.

Only trains follow built-in road system. Others can cut corners.

Regarding delayed start "complexity", it is logical: we used to make calculations with a calculator (or pen and paper). Nowadays you have to buy a PC and MS Excel and then learn how the hell it works to simply sum yearly apartment-related payments.

I agree that a more user-friendly FMB would be a plus but do not think it will happen in 3-5 years because of other priorities. E.g. original IL-2 FMB usability was never improved. I never figured out how it worked back then and had to become a whole decade wiser to understand anything in it LOL

Just voted for the COOP Gui and the csThor tickets. Nice to have this tool available

Thanks, let's promote it where we can.

I used to make the maps for the USL using Zuti MDS and nothing was more painful than getting the times of arrival right between groups because although you could stick a number in a field it wouldn't necessarily be correct - building a simple USL map easily took a day and much of that was AI timing. Also, only aircraft could be spawned on a timer, you could do nothing about ground forces. Now I can fire a trigger and run any code I want from that trigger.
