cdsubron7 is the best creator of Single Missions I've played, larrygene. I'd take him up on it. He'll probably tell you to put a destroyer or two in it though... maybe even airplanes... devious

For me, getting the exact date and exact time are probably my two biggest mistakes. I've thought I was OK with mine, and the "Validate" won't flag anything about it. But I've had like Dec 12, 1942 0800 hours in the mission parameters, Dec 12, 1942 0900 hours in the "target" ship's properties, and Dec 12, 1943 at 0800 hours in my sub's properties. Two mistakes, and the "validate" doesn't care... Same way with distance. I'll think I'm placing stuff almost too close together, then I can't find a thing when I run it. Go back in and look at it in the editor, and I've put us 80 nautical miles apart... Pay attention to that distance "gauge" in the lower left of the ME screen. You could always do what I do though, and that's make the occasional mission, just to keep being able to do it, but mostly play something cdsubron7 puts out, and then hopefully learn from the way he does it. Me, I'm just a slow learner... :wink:
