Some requests for mission planners

Post by Neil Willis »

A useful mod is available which adds tankers to the TAD. It has been added to the server, so it will function whether or not you have the mod installed on your own installation, but it requires a simple step when planning a mission involving tankers. You must add EPLRS on to the advanced waypoints when adding a tanker. To do so, just go to "Perform Command" and scroll down to "EPLRS" and select that, then move it to the first entry position on the advanced waypoints list.

Additionally, to standardize the available cheats etc, please ensure that the following boxes are ticked in the mission options:

External views (Tick in left hand box only) - disables external views
F10 View options (Tick left hand box, and the button next to "Fog of War") - sets the map to "Fog of War which means you will only see units on the map that have been detected by friendly units)
Random System failures (Tick left and right boxes) - enables random failures
Tooltips (Tick left hand box only) - disables tool tips
Immortal (Tick left hand box only) - prevents anyone being immortal
Labels (Tick left hand box only) - disables labels
Easy Communications (Tick left hand box only) - disables easy comms
Civ traffic (Tick left hand box, and select Low in the drop down menu) - sets civillian traffic to low
G_Effects (Tick left hand box, and select Simulation in the drop down menu) - enforces realistic G effects
BIRD% (Tick left hand box and select 100 on the slider) - sets bird strikes to realistic setting

This will enforce the correct settings globally. If there are any settings you wish to have set differently, can you discuss it, and we can reach a consensus.
