This is how it should work now.

You'll also notice with strike/intercept missions you can toggle between when to trigger mission based on the posture of the contact.

Mike


Yes, I noticed that, it's pretty good feature, if you don't want your interceptors to takeoff at any unknown contact set it for unfriendly or hostile,

and if you want to force them to takeoff at unknown bogeys set it to unknown, and that is it.

Status: offline 		It may already be in this thread somewhere, and based on the general direction you guys are going it's probably already on your list, so I apologize if this is a waste of everyone's time.

Requesting the ability to add weapons records to magazines or units/groups via the Event Editor. Particularly now that very-long scenarios are possible, this will allow for modeling logistics (cargo flights/ships arrive at a base, magazines are replenished, operations continue). And the associated fun... attacking the enemy's logistics tail to disrupt his operations, the critical need to protect your own resources, and so on.

Status: offline 		Another feature request based on testing a 'long scenario' which I will be uploading shortly.

Would it be possible (or is it now?) to order a unit to 'Unload' certain weapons?

E.g.: Situation is that the main task is convoy escort with units spread all over the map. However, a TLAM strike is called for but since the TLAMs are spread out all over the place you would have to concentrate way too many assets to get a decent chance of saturating the target area (limited HARMs & PGMs as well). So, with a bit of planning all the old CG/CGNs, Spru-cans etc could unload their TLAMS at a port and a VLS Spru-can could drop in, pick them up and go do the business.

Since its a long scenario you have time and since assets are limited and number of tasks are high, a player - if he plans well - could have an edge.

Status: offline 		I would like the missions to be displayed alphabetically in the 'assign to' dialogue; in large/long scenarios it's necessary to use standard naming to keep track of what missions actually do. At the moment it seems like they're sorted based on sequence of creation.

I already voted for speed/altitude per waypoint (hope you include sensor setting and manual attack orders to what can be ordered by way point too!). But now were getting some other really good additions to the the poll that I'd like too. I do think being able to add orders by way point is still my #1, but I'd like give my top 5:


I think you can already set altitude and speed in the waypoints, just select the waypoint and press F2.

Status: offline 		Not sure if this was requested yet, but one thing I am still struggling with on how to gracefully resolve switching a grouped unit (an airbase being captured by the other side). While the ScenEdit_SetUnitSide() function will reset the side of all units of a grouped unit, it unfortunately ungroups them in the process, leaving you with that problem to resolve. A lua function that allows you to identify all the subunits of a parent unit, will make regrouping the subunits, after their side has been switched and they are now ungrouped, much easier. Of course getting the ScenEdit_SetUnitSide() function to do grouped unit, or creating a ScenEdit_SetGroupedUnitSide() function that does that for us, would be a far nicer solution.

Please consider adding to the game map depths for the North American Great Lakes, the African Great Lakes, and as many of the world's biggest rivers as is practical (especially the Mekong, but also others like the Amazon, the Congo, the Niger, the Paraná, the Yangtze, etc.) so that more "brown water" scenarios can be written. Thanks!

As far as the bulk loading we do this now. Check out imports

You can also do this with a combination of Excel's CONCATENATE function and the Lua Script Console. If you've got a spreadsheet that lists units, locations, and DBIDs, you can use concatenate to build the ScenEdit_AddFacility() script for each line.

Then copy/paste a whole column of those into the Script Console, hit "run script" and voila, bulk addition of units.

Status: offline 		What would be really nice is to have a "date" drop down to only list units up and until that date. Instead of sorting on date, you could just enter in the date or date range and get a list of units available for that date range.. makes things easier when making scenarios. Additionally, it would be helpful for importing of bases.

I may be a small minority in this community but coding and scripting is an aptitude I unfortunately don’t have. That said, I will attempt the suggestions presented to create an import file of facilites.

It would be convenient to add extra check to avoid accidentally saving over original scenario. Happened to me last night when fooling around with Down Town 1969... Pressed Save in editor mode instead of Save as. That can be inconvenient, since original individual scenarios can be hard to find.

Can do this with lua. Engage scenario writers about this and they can do it.

Status: offline 		REQUEST:
I've recently found the Swedish Armed Forces introduction book in electronic warfare (find it HERE).
In the book the tactic of "Glimta" is named. In English the word would be blink, glimmer or flash.
When using this tactic several scattered radars blink on and off at different times to give the adversary as hard a target to locate as possible. The radars still get a somewhat correct air picture.

If this is not to hard to implement it could be an interesting addition to radar behavior/support missions, "blink at intervall of X time".

It might not help the player side but it would add some challenge for a player trying to do SEAD of finding a radar.

I don't know if other nations do this but if it's in a EW 101 book that's freely aviable online it can't be that revolutionary.

Status: offline 		Feature Request:

I was wondering if it would be possible to do Satellite Pass Predictions on a single (or group of) satellites before actually adding them to the Scenario.

The current system requires first adding the satellites and then doing a pass prediction on a given point to see which ones cover the area of interest, then deleting the ones that don't. Sort of a trial-and-error method.

It would be nice if I could do pass predictions on selected satellites before actually adding the units to cut down on a little on the add/delete steps.

Thanks!

Dawn/day time prediction.

When playing scen´s where you´re restricted by day only loadouts it would be very usefull to know when dawn is at the target.
I suggest that a dawn/daylight time entry be added to the map cursor datablock.

Status: offline 		Not sure if this is already implemented, but it would be cool if there was a way to prioritize aircraft taking off vs aircraft landing at an airfield. For example, when you click the "Prioritize aircraft taking off" all aircraft trying to land would be kept in the holding pattern while aircraft take off, and they will only land if critical on fuel. Same would go for the reverse option.


Also, can there please be some function where the game prioritizes aircraft taking off in groups? In the larger scenarios, when launching alpha strikes, I'm really tired of seeing 8 groups of 3/4 planes orbiting my carrier, and instead of the 4th plane in the group taking off, its the first 2 of a COMPLETELY new group. Then when the 4th plane finally takes off, the entire group has to RTB because they wasted all of their fuel waiting for the 4th plane.
