I personally want to find a way that I can help Team Fusion but I don't know what I can do to help.

Inspired by this phase. A simple thing that I think many users - without 3D, programing skill - can contribute to improved CloD, mainly to new players.

Create, suggest a created ones find around forums, or editing a include in game mission - some extremely simple and boring, some are good -
to replace the game bad ones, to by include in patch* or in a separated replacement package.

One thing some users ask in the "old Banana's" is Training missions, since the scripted training originally include only "training user patience". :D

Maybe a small training campaign style Zeus-cat "Straigh to the Farm" from old IL-2...

Heinkill create a good replacement Campaign for RAF, and now work in one for Luftwaffe (Personally I dont like the "what if" include in this :D ).

A excellent SP mission with a good BoB "climate".

Need some tweak like change vehicle convoys to individual ones - since CloD convoys move like ants. :D
I include in the briefing this tip:

http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/1624/tipr.gif

Example: I edit the "infamous" (because Blenheim issues in first release) 005 - Cross Country QM,
including some things that I see people ask around the forums.

A windsock - despite the CLod (FMB) windsock be of the heavy type, need a "hurricane" wind to go near horizontal.
Landing lights to one training night landings (simply changing the mission time).
Change the mission time to early morning, since at this hour the things are really beautiful. :D
Yellow signs along the runway are now "solid".
The trunk of some trees at end of runway are now "solid". :devilish:
A small vehicle movements at start of mission.
A "shooting range" near end of runway to live munition practice, with some German "captured" vehicles.
Some static camera to see the "action".
Add the ambulance script - despite dont see much fun in this, since the driver are drunk, forgets turn on the siren and move like a turtle.
Change the flight path - since in BoB days dont make sense a "tourist" landing in France with a military British airplane. :goofy

I need some script to inform waypoint changes (a la IL-2 1946) to one who wants practice navigation without "GPS". Anyone help with this?

I dont pretend that this mission can by include, just show some ideas, based in request of players.

* Missions are already available to download in many places, but many new users (fews I know...) are not used to install,
so this little thing repair one the flaw always pointed in CloD reviews.

About a year or more I thought about suggesting this in "Banana's", but probably would end burned at "Inquisition bonfire". :)

Why must when I return from school, there is a thread inspired by something I said? :( I am not even close to being an inspirational leader, I just answer my calling to forfill a duty that I feel like I must do. The IL-2 series has always been something close to my heart and probably has shaped who I am today more than what most people can imagine. I won't go on a rant here but several things have changed in my life due to IL-2 Sturmovik and the avaition surrounding it.

As for what I want to do, I have some things that I want to do to hopefully be considered by Team Fusion. If someone helps me with modeling, I'd be willing to make buildings including missing landmarks in the map as well as just everyday little stuff for it that I don't think many people would want to do and model some ships possibly but I don't know how to model animations but I could make a base for somewhen to finish. Another thing that I want to do is make free bomber campaigns to join the stock install for like learning how to fly/ use bombers effectively and possibly stuff for the Me-110 but I'm willing someone more proficient than me deserves to do that one. Just small things that I can offer but can possibly make a major difference in things like online make up with maybe a bit more bomber pilots.

Just my humble offers on what I can do. Thank you so much Team Fusion for continuing Oleg's and Illya's dream. I might have a surprise but I need to find something out first and we'll see if it works.

Thanks,
Eagle, Master of Stealth

Okay, I got some planning out done and I have introductory mission sets similar to classic IL-2 training mission files for some of the bomber aircraft planned out. Awaiting Team Fusion patch to start working on them since of the FM changes or engine management. I'll try to make these missions so they are user friendly and helpful for getting new bomber pilots up to speed. I also am looking for someone to help me with some scripting of things, so PM me if interested in helping out. Hopefully I can make these missions of high enough quality to be considered by Team Fusion to possibly be put into a future patch possibly.

Just a little bump to an old thread and see what kind of response can grow out of small things (hides).

it's just a rough test I did ut it might demonstrate something like what you are after.

Preinstalled campaigns and missions coming with a patch are a really good idea.

I'll be taking up some ideas for stuff to do. I've come up with some basic quick mission ideas but don't know too much on how to do a campaign. Advice please?

Also, if any of the Team Fusion guys want new menu music for the game, I can probably compose some stuff if you want.

Peace be with you,
Eagle

Campaigns, this might be a start?

Campaigns might/probably will need some scripting- nothing too clever but you do have to be logical in thought process. Look at what others have done is a good start (and be prepared to do some reading up on C# concepts (http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorial/CSharp/Lesson01 might be a start)

Quick missions- there were 2 added with TF3.00 (and 1 single mission)

Cool stuff. Thanks for the help.

I'm thinking I'm wanting to try to do a convoy (ship) attack type mission. Just need to do some research on that. I'll probably set up the mission and then figure out how to make it work for the quick mission generator.

Quick missions are fairly easy, they are basically a normal mission that is stored in a special location (..//steam/parts... not docs folder).

However, ANY airgroup can be changed to ANY plane type by the player- which can lead to 'interesting' results:-P depending on waypoint params, skill settings etc.
The 'art' is to come up with something that is playable from all angles with all planes- so for ship attack it would have to work for both BR20 and 109b- and the opposition/escorts would have to be appropriate for either.
