Haven't uploaded it yet.

Putting the upload package together is a bit of a pain, because it's a g-14/U4 and most users won't spot the difference until they realise the guns aren't working. It has a 30mm MK108 in place of the MG151/20 you'd expect. So it needs my MK108 package from the g-10/k-4 series.
 
No, I have NOT fallen off the face of the earth

Hello all,

I'm back! Been a pretty busy bit of time - but now I am back up and running in ETO and whatnot. Finally got an old laptop - Inspiron 8200 (yeah, old stuff, but powerful...). 2.2ghz P4, gonna have 1gb RAM when I'm done...and nVidia geforce 4 440 (which is the only drawback i think - would have liked to get a better graphics card, but it only cost $100.. I haven't finished with my desktop yet...).
But I still want to make this mission. I'm going to run those spawn tests that i've been sent; and if anyone could give me some updated info on making my own spawns, i'd be appreciative.
Not to rush you ndicki, but are those bf-109g-14's anywhere close to being uploaded?

Thanks to all,

JDO3
 
Okay. So I [finally] tested the mission that I think mrjmaint sent me - works good. Were they supposed to spawn 88 miles from the next waypoint though?
Anyway, that was looking real good. So if anyone can give me some info on how to create my own spawns, that will be really helpful.

Thanks you guys!
 
Which type of spawn do you want?

Personnally, I build spawns with a text editor (PsPad is my favorite one but Notepad or Wordpad can do the job).
 
So I just opened up one of the ETO Spawns - Clostermann_109G6_4.
What is xml version and encoding?
Country - self explanatory.
Formtype - formation(?)
Directive - mission type (for lack of a better term).
Obviously, Unit Type is the type of aircraft, which is the model name.
Repeat - is that the number of aircraft spawned?
Payload - self explanatory.
What is the information in the route parameters?

Am I on the right track?

Yes you are!! I've build this spawn.

I recommend that you download the Microsoft document that describe all spawns parameters.

Formtype - formation(?) -> yes. I warmly recommend to download this document (link below), I can't work without it, it describes all formations types for aircrafts, ships and vehicules. It is a must have.

Directive - mission type -> yes

Obviously, Unit Type is the type of aircraft, which is the model name -> yes, it is the one mentioned in aircraft.cfg "model="


Repeat - is that the number of aircraft spawned? -> yes

What is the information in the route parameters? ->
<Waypoint PositionType="player-die-roll" Die="1D12" -> this means that aircraft will be spawned randomly around player

Distance="3557.42" -> distance from player (the closer the enamy fighter is from player, the more dangerous it is.


Type="turn" -> can be intercept, allweapons, takeoff...


Spawns learning is a long process, fell free to unse all of the ones I've build and begin by 'simple' things or you will get mad.


I'm on holliday this evening, I'll be back end of next week. Have fun with spawns! :icon_lol:
