Refuel, Rearm and Jump into a different airplane...? - Mensonchino - 23.11.2009
In jet combat simulator Lock On of the Eagle Dynamics, there are a couple of options really original, which makes every mission different and always with countless variations: Refuel & Rearm and Jump into an other aircraft.
R & R is very useful because it allows the player to extend the missions, returning to base for a subsequent takeoff.
The Jump is wonderful because it allows the player to leave the autopilot on his own plane and jump in the cockpit of another (even enemies!) to carry out the mission in different ways or simply prolong it if his first plane is shot down.
I wonder.
Nobody has thought of introducing something similar in IL-2 Sturmovik, through a Mod?
It would be nice ...

The latest version of Zuti's MDS mod (moving dogfight server mod) includes the repair, refuel and rearm option. I could see where the ability to jump to another plane could be abused in online play some I'm not sure about that one.

i would love this for offline missions...lets just say i die on my first plane..i would like to use the remaining planes to end the mission.
we use it all the time in our online play - Guest - 23.11.2009
missions are made to last up to 4 hrs.....we land and refuel in a dogfight scenerio but with a full missions with ongoing goals and objectives....simply land when out of ammo,hit escape,plant your flag at the base you land at,hit refly and your back in the mission......works like a charm...
the guys are loveing it for sure!!!

My question concerned the off-line missions.
This would open a whole new world for these types of missions, their duration could be extended for hours and we could really plan a whole day's fighting, providing waves of delayed take-offs over time, with differente planes, weapons and objectives.
Think of waves of planes attacking a convoy, or intervene repeatedly on the front line to demolish the fortifications of the enemy, etc..
Or simply take control of the wingman's plane if you have been shot down.
All this is possible in Lock On and it's very very funny !

With the MDS mod....... I have adapted two of my big missions to it.
The pearl Harbor one...I can start from the Akagi and join in the second wave, or airstart at the coast and join in the first wave...or fly red from several airfields...trying to take-off and survive for more than a few minutes during the attack is exhausting. Refuel/Rearm/Repair are available....or if I am killed or bail i can refly from anywhere and either side...
DO not forget that Dogfight type missions and Coops can still be played at home by oneself by starting your own server in the Multiplayer menu...
The Midway mission on the new Midway map allows me to take-off from carriers from either side or land for Red...then R/R/R or refly and rejoin the same action several times.

Thank Fabian.
I have found:
- pearlattack3b.rar
- (2) Midaway6.rar
Are these the missions that you intend ?
Are they offline mission or other different types ?
If they are Dogfight or Coops missions I don't know how to play by myself ...

for MDS you want the MDS_PearlHarbor ..this uses the new Hawaii map
Midway 6 uses the new Cat_Midway map which is in HSFX and UP 1.8
They need the UltraPack 1.8 which includes the HSFX mod pack
to play open from main game screen ...Multiplay/Create new server/Dogfight...then the mission...put missions in a Dogfight folder in Missions/Net/
need the new maps to play them
