• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I haven't fully tested this idea yet. There is a set of skill settings in the uisel.xml file in the Application data pathway. Part of the uisel reads:

--</QuickCombat>
<Mission>
<Aircraft type="string" val="Ju 88A-4"/>
<MissionEnemyGroundSkill type="uint" val="2"/>
<MissionEnemySkill type="uint" val="4"/>
<Model type="string" val="ju_88a_4"/>
</Mission>
<Miscellaneous>--

I have edited MissionEnemyGroundSkill to = 2, and
MissionEnemySkill to =4. Default for these were 1 and 1. I am assuming that there are four skill settings from 1 to 4, with 1 being rookie 2 being veteran and 3 being ace, with 4 being random.

The changes I have made to the Mission skill settings should make enemy flak more accurate, and mean that air skill is random meaning you could encounter an ace.

I don't know if that means that these settings in the uisel.xml only apply if there are no explicit skill settings in a mission file - and I also don't know if the settings also apply to a campaign mission. The latter is what I am hoping - that the skill settings in the uisel Missions section will influence campaign difficulty.

Anyway I will follow up with an update if I remember :icon_lol:.

Another thought: There is a Campaign section in the uisel. I wonder if the following would work (I copied the airskill and groundskill parameters from another part of the uisel):

--<Campaign>
<Aircraft type="string" val="Typhoon IB"/>
<AmmoPct type="uint" val="100"/>
<FuelPct type="uint" val="82"/>
<Model type="string" val="typhoon_mkib"/>
<PayloadIdx type="uint" val="4"/>
<UseCustomAircraft type="bool" val="n"/>
<Campaign>
<Airskill val="4"/>
<Groundskill val="2"/>
</Campaign>--
