The airbases are missing a taxiway or runway access point. Where did you get these files? If its from someone in the community let them know. Front now you could just replace them with the all in one air bases in the game or build out your own with the correct facilities.

Scoring points is an action in the event editor. You can see a number of triggers that would cause those actions to occur (aircraft destroyed etc). You add these to an event which you can set to trigger once or many times.

The Scoring evalution function can be found in the editor drop down. You just set the high and low of each side the and the game calculates everything in between. Its use in optional.

Much of this is covered in the manual in great detail. Please do review it.

JSF, I build the Amari Air Base as a multi-structure build a while ago.
I've never submitted it to the forum. Feel free to give it a try!

Great idea for a scenario. I've been playing with an Icelandic Air Policing scenario, but it's hard to come up with a credible storyline!

Probably inspired in real world and this scenario:

Just gave it a quick spin.

To be honest, I think the scenario has a number of issues that need work.

- The Russian Mainstays are on an AAW patrol, this means they try to engage NATO aircraft (even though they have no weapons, they try to VID them). You should assign these to support missions instead.
- There is no scoring event for AWACS/Tanker planes. So losing KC-135/E-3 gives no point loss for NATO and likewise killing A-50 gains no points.
- Because almost all NATO forces are loading a reserve loadout (which gives you nothing really) they need 3 hours to be loaded with a real air to air loadout. So this means at the start you only have 4 fighters ready to go
- However, the Russians immediately launch 8 Flankers that immediately head west for my AWACS/Tanker. There is almost nothing to do to protect them except throw in the Portugese 2 ship but that seems a bit much for those to face such odds
- Thats the other thing, the Russians just go west immediately after takeoff, there is no buildup of tension or anything if that makes sense. Maybe with events and posture changes and messages you could make it a more gradual escalation.
- Also, because the Russian AAW patrols do not have prosecution areas and have investigate contacts outside patrol area ticked, all fighter as said just head west after takeoff and the nicely assigned patrol areas are unused.
- Since Russia is not a playable side, there is not necessarily a need to give them points when they kill NATO planes or deduct points when they lose planes. But if there was, you could combine the gaining of points by one side and the losing pf points by the other in one event. So one event with one trigger (e.g. Russian airplane down) and two actions (e.g. NATO gains 10 points, Russia loses 10).
- I was trying to think of a way to build an event to penalize the player for shooting first and starting WW3 but have not thought of a good way yet

I think what would help is if you put some thought in what you want to achieve with the scenario flow, as in, how the buildup should be and how the Russian forces should behave, and then make this work with the event editor and mission editor. Because right now they just go into the grinder without much logic if that makes sense? Scenarios that kind of "tell a story" are always more interesting, does that make sense?

This is not to overly criticize you and make you feel bad, but just to hopefully help you shape this scenario to its full potential!

Hope this helps and makes sense!

The russian mainstay just followed my AWACS into Germany. When you don't launch your fighters you can ignore the russians.
I like the overall setting but the loadout of the NATO fighters makes it impossible to engage the enemy. More then one Russian base might be a good idea.
