A template for air to air training that can be very easily customized to your need (no scripting required)
- You start airborne, choose any type of enemy aircraft through the F10 menu, fight, repeat !
- Open the mission editor, drag and drop units in and out of the dedicated zone to add or remove specific opponents.
- Solo or multiplayer, you can spawn one or multiple enemies
- Enemies will spawn relative to your position. No need to respawn or fly back to your initial point.
-You have an AWACS. EPLRS is OFF by default, but can be switched ON
Note : I haven't added all the modules to the missions, the list would be too big. If you don't find the one you like, just edit one or create a new group. The script will work with any blue aircraft, no matter where they spawn.
9 presets :
- Fox 1 old (R3-R, R-24R, R-40)
- Fox 1 modern (AIM-7, R27R, Super 530, etc...)
- Fox 2 old (K-13, R-60M, AIM-9B, etc..)
- Fox 2 modern (Aim-9, R73, R27T, Magic II, etc...)
- Fox 3 (AMRAAM, AIM-54, R77, R37, ...)
-Intercept training : by the book intercept, in front of you, the IA goes in straight line
-Intercept practice : similar but with some variations in altitude or heading
- Dogfight head-on : guns only, the enemy is right in front of you
- Dogfight defensive : guns only, the enemy can spawn anywhere around you (mostly in your 6 :))
At the beginning of the mission, the script will check inside each zone, which red group are present and built a list with all the groups. Each time you ask for an opponent, it will randomly pick within the given list and spawn them in front of you (with some variations).
How to add a specific opponent (ie : I want to go inverted with a mig28) :
-Open the mission in the editor.
-Copy past any red aircraft.
-Change the aircraft type to F-5 (or Mig28), don't forget to add him some bullet for self defense and sel ect a nice livery.
-Drag it in the zone "Dogfight"
THAT'S IT. It will be added to the random list for the given preset.
How to remove a specific opponent (ie : tired of being shot down by F14 fr om 50 Nm away)
-Open the mission
-Find the despicable tomcat
-Move it outside the "Fox3" zone
You're good to go !
For advanced user :
Unzip the .miz file.
Open l10n\Default\AirToAirTraining.lua file with a text editor.
At the beginning of the script you'll find all the parameters for the spawns (min/max range, altitude, skill level, etc). You can change them as you want.
A special thanks to all the people on the moose discord who help me with the scripts (Pikes, Applevangelist and others)
