MAW Mission

Charter Member
Hello Guys

Cleaning my computer found A MAW mission "Malta Carrier Mayham". It seems that I have everything needed but 'Clemson dd Destroyer' and ELCO pt boat' flyable ships. Anybody knows where I can get those two?

I can substitute the PT bost with VosperMTB; but, I do not have a 'drivable' destroyer. Any suggestions.

Appreciate the help or any suggestions

Thanks

That's Phillip m's stuff... Where'd he go? I always enjoyed his threads--- always a surprize

Hope he's O.K.
 
:ernae: Thanks Loverboy1

Got both of them in the site you recomended. Thanks again.

I did try the 'Phillip M's' site first and got the 'not available'. Hope everything is fine.

Thanks guys. Now is time to go play those missions

Hi Guys. It's me again. :help:

Got the missions working, but for two items.

First - Elco pt boat mission; when I hit 'fly' the pt boat explodes (??). Does not do it in QC. Is this the same situation as with large bombers to close to the hangars and I need that utility to expand the start-up area? I do not think so; but, I do not know for sure. Will that work with this boat as well?

Second - a minor one. When I am running the Clemson destroyer and select the third gun station (F8) artillery, it crashes to the desktop
The Clemson.xpd calls for gun stations:

<GunStation UpLimit="35" DownLimit="0" LeftLimit="180" RightLimit="180" RateLimit="60" SystemID="left_cannon" Tracer="20" Trainable="1" Trigger="0" Type="5in_gun" Name="20mm"
ConvergeDistance="0" Pitch="0" MaxAmmo="100" MuzzleFlash="fx_gunblast_5in"/>

1 - Type="40 mm bofors" Name="5in"
1 - Type="elco_50cal" Name="5in"
3,4,5,6 - Type="5in_gun" Name="20mm"

I have the 40mm bofors_round and 40mm bofors. xpd files; elco_50cal and 5in; and 5in_gun but I do not seen to have "20mm".
I am assuming that - Name="xxxx" means the weapon(round) files. I have files for all kinds of 20MMXXXX, but not a plain one (20mm). I have changed "20mm" to "5in", same result - crashes; so it seems to me the problem must be somewhere else! I also deleted MuzzleFlash, same result.

I ran out of ideas - help

Hello GOSD :wavey:

I believe he is SPQR33. So far my missions work fine except the ones that include the Clemson dd destroyer; but only when I use F8 to use the guns, otherwise its fine and the elco pt boat; except when I use the elco_stock then sometimes it works. I think it might be something else

Any specifics on yours?

PRang :typing:
 
Here are some of the issues I am having with this mission pack :
-In missions 1a and 1b,when i end the mission the P'51-0d lands hard and explodes on the ground.
-In missions 2 and 3 ,I have gotten the Clemson to work properly by changing the cylinder_displacement value from 175 to 750 in the aircraft.cfg file.
-IN mission 4 ,I cannot get the elco-PT boat to work ,it explodes on startup.
Any luck on your side ?
 
Hi GOSD :kilroy:

I have not flown the first missions to a landing; just to see if it works. I will fly to completion next time and let you know.

The problem I have with Clemson dd is that it crashes to the desktop when I hit F8 the third time to use the 5in_gun artillery weapons. Do not know why? I have tried everything that I think might solve the problem, with no luck. The mission works fine otherwise.

Do not ask me why and why it does it; but try this.

Immediatly after hitting "Fly", hit the "T" key to change from 'ALL' to "AIRCRAFT' then hit 'E" for engine start. This worked for me. Try it at least twice.

Good luck and let me know anything else that might help :help:

I agree with you, the missions are a lot of fun

With the 5in_gun you need the 5inch_round weapon in order to work.
If you dont have these files I can send them to you.
 
Hi GOSD & Popsaka

GOSD: :kilroy:
Flew the missions you suggested and I got mixed results.

I flew the 1a mission with the P-51d and landed, not in the base the mission called for since it is Kalafrana SPB (seaplane base); but, at the nearest base, with no problems without exploding. The frame rate was low so it was jerky and being a short mission with a lot of fuel, had to land maintaining a higher than normal airspeed, so I ran out of runway, used the field and stopped with no problems.

Suggestions: Since it is a very short mission, lower the fuel to less than 50%, will make it is easier to control. If you know how to use MB, I changed the aircraft to one from the era (dr_hur_i_ V7101) and the base to Luga. Malta, and made the formation group closer.

Then, I flew it again. You won't believe what happened. I landed, the 'Mission Accomplish' banner disappeared and the plane exploded. Now I see what you meant!

Mission 1b, I used the MB and changed the aircraft to a Swordfish Float in a closer formation. Flew the mission and landed on the water in front of the seaplane base with no problems. When I hit the 'Mission Accomplish - debriefing' and put me into the mission debriefing panel; the plane exploded.
I will look more closely at the missions themselves (I do not know much about this) to see what I can find.
Sometimes I experiment and find things that do not look right or make calculated changes (trial and error) that sometimes works. We'll see and let you know.

Still, the Clemson dd destroyer and its guns do not work and crashes to the desktop.

GOSD - I have the required files for the 5in_gun; but , it did not work. Thanks for the offer
Popsaka - 5in38_gun worked fine and fixed the problem. Thanks a lot. :woot: :ernae:
Now I can use the guns to go after the subs :karate:

Hello PRang,
for the Clemson to work properly have you tried changing the cylinder_displacement value from 175 to 750 in the aircraft.cfg file?
 
Hello GOSD :wavey:

The clemson destroyer works fine now, thanks:woot:

As for your missions; go to MB; Briefing & Start - Start -Airbase. Change 'airbase' to the base you are landing at, in my case Luga, Malta. I did; flew the missions twice, no explosions.

Hope it works for you. Happy hunting and fly safe.

Thanks again
