Adding Your "New Craft" To Campaign Mode

[Wyld45]

Hey Gents,

Someone might have allready have this in here somewhere,but I just learned
on my own how to do this. Now I'm so proud of myself,I just want to share
with anyone who likes to Campaign on CFS3 but dont know of how to do this yet.
1. Go to your "Campaign" folder and open your "Fortress Europa" xml doc.

2. Scroll down untill you start to see all the aircraft files in the
"Tech-Tree".


<TechTree>
<Aircraft>
<Aircraft Type="BF_109G_6">
<Date Month="3" Year="1943"/>

3. Make sure you look at how each separate craft is written in,(one
little miss-type and you'll know because you wont be able to get into
your campaign mode and CFS3 will X-it on you), If that happens,just
carefully delete what you added, then restart game and see if it will
let you back into campaign mode.

4. All you have to really do here is use your aircrafts "xdp" file title.
you can probably just type it in,but I always copy and paste so
I dont miss a single letter or number. You can add more
"aircraft" lines,but to make it easy,try just changing whats
allready there. First make sure your plane belongs to one of the
ORIGINAL COUNTRYS!,or whoever you plan to campaign with.

Example; <Aircraft>
<Aircraft Type="P_47d">
<Date Month="3" Year="1943"/>

I can change "P_47d" to say, "3us_P_40"/> or whatever
"xdp" craft-title you choose. You can also add "craft" lines,
just make sure they are lined up like the originals,and that
your "USA" craft doesnt belong to an NEK group like "US_Navy".

Like I said,this may have been up before or whatever,but I was
kinda thrilled I discovered this on my own. Thanks guys and
I hope some of you discover New-Game for your Campaign!

the subject has indeed been discussed here before, but it keeps on coming up. Some don't know and struggle with this rather than asking or searching the forum......so its good to mention it..

one could also mention that each nation needs at least one bomber and one fighter, or else the campaign would crash (I think), so you can add extra ac and replace some, but you should not delete too many......

one thing I never understood: how to add another nation to a campaign, such as US_navy or France_Vichy (?)

But,if you beat me to it, let us know! Wyld45
