Talisman_VR Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Short missions? That's a relative term when your wee spitfire only has about a hour's fuel... Mk IX: 434 mi (698 km) on internal fuel Mk XIV: 460 mi (740 km) on internal fuel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire_variants:_specifications,_performance_and_armament Shorter missions, in terms of a return trip there and back, than if map was bigger, unless want to fly around in circles on a small map. Did this really need to be explained? LOL Edited August 22, 2016 by 56RAF_Talisman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman_VR Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It will be fine guys, ED is aware that they cant just sit on this initial map, and with a 3rd party doing the WWII maps, I am sure they have their sights set on the future. Me personally, I am looking forward to the units and other aspects of 44 era flight and combat as much as the map. This will get me going. Yes, there is lots of potential and there are lots of aspects to look forward to :thumbup: Lots to get excited about :pilotfly: Looking forward to the 1940's ambience to match the aircraft, the history, the times :) Happy landings, Talisman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWillis Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I am sure Leatherneck have higher priorities right now - especially after the forum debate about whether they'll manage to get the F-14A/B out before the end of the year has undoubtedly changed their entire outlook on life! After all, how could they possibly ignore the slightest whim or complaint from this utterly reasonable, and enlightened bunch of torch bearers and pitchfork wielders?

ED Team Racoon Posted August 23, 2016 ED Team Share Posted August 23, 2016 Sounds really interesting!:thumbup: You are using the warehouse system already in DCS, or a new system? Just asking, because I never have seen a mission which is using the current warehouse system and was asking myself if it is not working correct or not very useful to limit availability of weapons? The same system but with visible convoys that could be destroyed. The system itself works now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Racoon Posted August 23, 2016 ED Team Share Posted August 23, 2016 truck convoy confirmed, Racoon or only trains? Can't see any reason to create trains only. Railroads are rare in comparison with roads for trucks. But this feature is in design stage yet. Don't wait it in near future. Many other things to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleEye Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The same system but with visible convoys that could be destroyed. The system itself works now. Will the warehouse system also be available for scripting? AFAIK currently it is not readable nor accessable per LUA scripting. So it is not possible to add or remove stuff from the warehouse per scripting.

Grimes Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Will the warehouse system also be available for scripting? AFAIK currently it is not readable nor accessable per LUA scripting. So it is not possible to add or remove stuff from the warehouse per scripting. Not just lua but triggers as well, though obviously lua scripting would take the fullest advantage of it. Its been highly desired since the system was first implemented. Suffice to say if we had scripting access to the warehouses the community would have created their own implementations of physical resupply. Not to mention we'd be free to experiment with multiple concepts for such a system. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
