Q: about IL-2 full mission editor

[Mush Martin]

is there a way and how is it done that I can set up missions with a new
aircraft type that isnt in missions at this point.

ie. when I open single missions there are no missions where I am flying
a P-38L available. I would like to make P-38L missions to use but do
not know whats required to get a new aircraft into missions.
(existing player flyable aircraft that is.)

Very easy actually,

you open up the Full mission editor
click Load
browse the folders where the mission is located
when loaded

you can click on a existing Aircraft on the map and change the aircraft type to the P38L
there is no need to change anything more then that , as the mission and its waypoints will not be affected. you only will be flying a different airplane.

hope this helps

S.O.S...............................

Im starting to get a bit frustrated and have started naming my mission
building tests with Curse words for titles.

Q: is there a manual somewhere for the editor? I havent located one yet
and its not so instinctive as SH3 or 4's


failing that whats happening is I am trying just to get a homebuilt mission
up. nothing fancy just a working homebase with an aircraft of choice
(P-38L) with a ship off shore to bomb.

I can get the homebase planted and choose an aircraft for it. I am fairly
certain but have not yet seen if the ship/target in harbour is there. however, When I boot up the game I have a ground and sky both featureless which I thought might just be that I put in no building trucks
etc. but although Im on the tarmac I dont see my plane and have
no views inside or out.

Surely Im not the first to get stuck here.

any help to offer.

or better yet a step by step set up for a simple mission with an
airport and a plane and a target.

(im trying to get the editor skills not the flight skills)

any help would be appreciated of course

In the window where you insert new units, select your P38 from the map and go to 'plane 1' (or 2, 3, 4, depends in which position you want to be in the squadron) tab and check the 'player' option. :up:

I think the biggest thing I was missing was the check player box
like Player Driveable in sh3:yep:

some days the bear gets you.

Every aircraft that is flyable is standard ''Player''
if you put more playable planes it it, but you dont pick them when you load the mission they will be replaced by AI.

some planes are AI only, you cannot untag the AI box in the Object viewer.

also do not use PLAY function in the mission builder.
just save, exit the mission builder and load the mission via Single missions :up:
