Imported aircraft versus other imported aircraft (Read 1769 times)

Hi Peeps.
First post and all that....

I've imported a few WW1 aircraft into CF1 and what I want to do is fly them against each other, but all I can do is pit an imported plane against the 'fixed' drop down list of opposition aircraft within the game.

Is there any way I can select an imported plane to fly against another imported plane? i.e. place an imported aircraft into the "enemy aircraft type" list?

Flying a Spad XIII against a ME109 is interesting but lacks longevity! Wink

Cheers

In a mission? Open any specific mission file (.mis) you wish and replace an opposing aircraft folder name with that of the imported plane's folder name. I have taken an excerpt from one of my own WW1 mission files: the navy blue section is your units section and I've marked each aircraft folder

name
i

n red (make sure that you use the specific name of the aircraft's folder that's in the main CFS aircraft folder, not the name from your drop down list in game play). You can, of course, change the weapons load, as well (but will still be limited to the weapons .dp of the specific aircraft you're entering).

I forgot to mention a couple things: 1. I'm presenting portions of a mission that's in the stock CFS1 format and 2. you need to change the "string names" or all aircraft will be titled as the original although you've changed it. Since I put in actual names of squadron members -- along with a few "throw ins" -- in the representation mission, I can change the aircraft they're flying without changing the string name (unless I wish to change pilots, as well). If you're working with a mission made with a mission editor, the string name will probably be with the [unit} information; the stock mission string names are in a list near the end of the .mis :

**
[strings]
"title_string"=Circus Maximus!
"summary_string"=Vom ersten April ab in den Mai
"objective_string"=Beobachter am Boden haben gemeldet, dass eines unserer Flugzeuge nach einem Luftkampf mit Flugzeugen der 3. AFC abgestürzt ist. Fliegen Sie Richtung Corbie, um sie abzufangen. Das 209. Geschwader der RAF - die ehemalige 9. des RNAS - is nahe Bertangles stationiert, seien Sie also auf der Hut vor ihren Spähern.
Ihre Aufgabe: Räumen sie ordentlich auf!
"type_string"=Abfangen

If I used the correct files to compile this mission, the German translations were provided a couple years ago by Bjorn Kesten

Hi. If this is for Quick Combat you can add any installed aircraft to the QC database with QC Editor by Jaesen Jones. http://www.simviation.com/cfs1utilitites4.htm

These usually buzz around like demented hornets unless you rescale them. My walkthrough on creating special AI Only drones for CFS1 might interest you. http://www.simviation.com/lair/AI%20drones.htm

Thanks, Hagar; looking back at his original post, that's what he may have meant. I've edtied my .qcb with word/notepad, as well, but that may be a little much.
