Hi guys,
Here is my first WIP update to let you all know how things are moving along with Mission Mate for Pacific Fighters.
Because of the ever increasing quantity of planes particularly with the merged install I have decided to split the plane and map lists into a choice of:
1) "All" (both AEP and PF plane and map lists).
2) "Ace Expansion" (AEP plane and map lists).
3) "Pacific Fighters" (PF plane and map lists).
There is a drop down list on the main window for the editor (left hand side half way down) and a drop down list in the mission builder interface.
New interface of MM main window.
Mission Mate will support expanded maps for some of the new maps which increase the scope of the quick missions (I'm really enjoying this new bit myself).
Screens showing the stages of scrolling the New Guinea map.
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Mission Mate will also include a new waypoint method for carrier fleets. Users will also have the choice to take off and land at either a land base or a carrier base.
In the screen shot below player flight groups are taking off from the carrier to start the mission while the AI teams start in the air. The carrier waypoints are designated by square icons as opposed to round although I think I may improve on this to make the naval waypoints clearly more distinguishable.
Cheers, CrazySchmidt.
