I kown that I can access mission from OFF interface. Choose Mission options on the buttom of the front page of OFF(from the line that are QC, Cmp, Workshops, Leave, ect)-but after mission I always have to go back to the front page of OFF to choose an another mission. Is there other way to get to missions?

A mission MUST be a 'scripted' activity, kind of like 'I know what's coming next, I'll deal with it this way'

Where as Campaign is a series of non scripted missions, where your choice is 'what type of aircraft do I wish to fly, for who, where, and when?'

To each his own, I suppose
 
If you want to play missions made for you automatically play in campaign as Gimpy says, you'll find it very rewarding :)

I have diffrent problem- There is no CFS3 interface for MISSION. I always have to choose from OFF Mission interface menu. There is Quick Combat CFS3 interface and I am able to choose from OFF interface(in cockpit, and go back to OFF after flight) or from CFS3 interface(the cross with Quick Combat with airfield and plane in background).

I can not get to CFS 3 Interface in MISSIONS option. I choose this option in WORKSHOP and I still get directly to cockpit at the begining of the mission. When I press ESC I get the option menu in upper right corner and choose "End mission"-there is no Mission menu optinon in left lower corner. Sometimes I get to OFF or I can see my plane flying and after while the plane crushes-have no control of the plane. I can not see Missiom Option on the left lower corner. I have to choose to go to OFF from right upper menu optinon if I do not want to crash. I have no problem with Quick Combat- CFS 3 interface works well.
What do I do wrongly?"
Sorry if I bother You. The OFF is great. I get between 47fps and 150fps on good video setting.
 
Maybe I don't understand you correctly, if so, sorry. Here goes:

You are not supposed to see a CSF3 interface (if you mean the screen with the pilot by the boxes) anywhere in OFF3. The developers went to a lot of work to have OFFF3 jump directly to the cockpit and back so we don't have to see or waste time with that CSF3 screen.
The old CSF3 'interface' can be turned on or off in the workshop.

A bit off topic, and just my opinion, but 'missions' is a total side-show. Campaign is the real gem of the game.
 
At the time Phase 2 was current, QC was meant for General Practice, Flying and shooting, Campaign was where the actual game was played.
The missions Tab was released as ACTIVE by mistake. Some Missions worked, some didn't. Sooo they were never missed.

Enter Phase 3, I never missed the missions, but in order to acsess the controls and video settings the CFS3 button was added to workshop.
When you cliced on it, you got Phase 2

The only way your problem SHOULD exist, is when you start-up, you go to Workshop, clic on CFS3, and you're greeted by Phase 2 QC

Try This: Start-up, go directly to CAMPAIGN

In WORKSHOPS I choose under "USER INTERFACE"
"Auto Exit CFS3"
"off"
and
"Direct to Missiom"
"off"
I guess that with those two optinons "off" I should get in to the screen with the pilot by the boxes (CFS3 interface)-but If I choose "Quick Combat" or "Mission" from from the line that are QuickCombat, Campaing, Workshops, Leave, ect, I get directly to cockpit at the begining of the flight, and back to Over Flanders Fields interface after I End Flight and choose OFFICER MESS . Only if I use CFS3QC in Workshops menu(on the buttom) I get to CFS3 Interface in Quick Combat only (MISSION is the same as above).
I found other problem in Quick Combat and Mission with
"Auto Exit CFS3"
"off"
and
"Direct to Missiom"
"off.
After I press "End Flight" The plane still flies and crushes if I do not exit the CFS3 interface before the plane hits the ground. I Have no control of the plane. While the plane is burning on the ground I press the QUICK COMBAT cross (the left side of the screen) next plane respown and explods.

In MISSION the plane flies and crushes if i do not press hite OFFICER MESS buttom and get back to Over Flanders Fields page.
I know it is strange. I got some screenshots, but I do not know how to insert them to my message.
Sincerly, AH Rezak
 
Computers are funny ducks, the game itself is intended to be Campaign Activity. QC gets you prepared for Campaign Activity. Missions were offered as Side Entertainment. And as such the mechanics of mission selection appear to be not up to the mark, or shall I say 'to your mark'

By the way, perhaps you could investigate Campaign Activity for any stand-out flaws in the mechanics.

I didn't design'em, I just play'em. And as such I get tremendous satasfaction in Campaign Activity.
Missions . . I see the Tab . . do they work ? :ernae:

Thank you for answaring. I just want to add a few mor things. After crushes in QC or Mission my pilot does not die-good , I do not have enlist a new one.
In CFS3 interface there is no Mission Tag in the left side of the screen, but there is menu on the left upper corner of the screen and I use it to quit mission "OFFICER MESS " .
In CFS3 QuickCombat mission there is the "QuickCombat Tab" on the left side of the screen, and I can choose other flight if I want - the plane's crush depends which buttom I perss and where the plane is standing.
BUT the most important thing is -I found workout for all those small problems and ENJOY OFF in Quick Combat, Mission and Campaing. My FramePerSecond are great(from 47 to a lot more than 150 settin). I just found something strang and let the community to know.
