IL-2 1946: Full Mission Builder - Creating Waypoints, Landing, Takeoff (Basics)

[@SpoonyJeffUK]

noob, how about you press enter in builder and be entered into a new world of view.

[@richardstinchcomb5604]

Thank you. I've been looking for details like this to start learning how to create a mission

[@andrejsygur]

Sure thing, I will make more along the way. There are older tutorials for the FMB out there but I felt those could be shortened down a bit to save time.

[@19Koty96]

Thank you very much for doing these. It will be very helpful for anyone trying to get into FMB.

[@andrejsygur]

Thanks. The controls are pretty much all you need to get into FMB, after that its just learning what you want to use in a mission.

[@Pgb622]

can it work with lets say a Fi-156?

[@kirstenjanelawson1813]

I found this very helpful thanks!

[@errordecombate3028]

I can't check the "playe"r box and the "only AI" box, help ;-;

[@D.Gaming-78]

why is when i select to play and the plane object check box is gray it wont let me use any planes

[@NoNoNoNopeNopeNopeNo]

because you can bomb B 17s but they're ''NPCs'' - so you can spawn them in (just using B17s as an example) but you cannot fly them. check out sas1946 and the BAT mod if you wanna fly :)

[@nardoverso]

loved the tutorials, is it possible to make tanks engage eachother in this game? Or tehy only interact with the player?

[@andrejsygur]

Tanks will engage enemy targets closest to them. So if you place enemy tanks opposing each other, they should start should at each other.

is it possible to group more than the 4 planes to a bigger group? or i have to set for every single 4 plane group a new waypoint? (for example i want 12 bombers bomb the same target)

[@andrejsygur]

It is hard coded into the game engine, only 4 planes are allowed per flight group. It's been asked before but no, this is not possible to do without completely redesigning aspects of the game and that won't happen (within our lifetime probably). You are left with 4 planes max to a group. If you want to more quickly duplicate a flight of 4 bombers then you have to copy and paste that flight (along with its waypoints) inside the .mis file of the mission with a text editor. The Full Mission builder does not allow you to copy and paste objects with waypoints ("speaking of doing this in-game"), the copy/paste feature within the game only applies to static non-moving objects. Simplest thing for you would just be to click a few extra times and create more bomber groups of 4, its a pain but thats the least complex way. Otherwise if you think you can do it the technical way then you can have a go at it by editing the .mis file with a text editor. There are three areas you need to copy, the flight group, its properties, and its waypoints. Looks something like this for a flight of one Bf-109 G10... [Wing] r0100 [r0100] Planes 1 Skill 1 Class air.BF_109G10 Fuel 100 weapons default [r0100_Way] NORMFLY 141209.78 179082.68 500.00 300.00 &0 NORMFLY 89904.36 162780.02 500.00 300.00 &0 NORMFLY 75759.40 149833.79 500.00 300.00 &0 You would then of course see all the flights you duplicated to be overlapping each other along the waypoints, so you just drag and slightly adjust the routes of the duplicate flights to separate them (Otherwise all the planes would spawn on top of each other and explode).

@@andrejsygurcan you make a tutorial for this? Thanks!

[@ijustplaygames4987]

when ever i press play my game is just in the ground idk why can someone help

[@andrejsygur]

You mean to say that you are just a floating camera somewhere in the corner of the map? Try this: Go to difficulty menu, check the "Takeoff & Landing" option. Otherwise you may be trying to fly a plane that does not have a cockpit modeled.

[@warroach]

Ctrl left click doesn't work for me idk why

[@andrejsygur]

Then use the "Insert" key

[@Isegawa2001]

@@andrejsygur I'm also having the same problem, neither ctrl nor insert work. Any ideas?

Thanks for helping me putting missions in files in a month ago but in the morning today I was making a Ju-87B-2 mission in Moscow January 2nd 1942 but I forgot to add player in the plane so It wont show the description name, instead of Ju-87B-2 N2 its Ju-87B-2_2.mis Ive fixed this problem last time I tried to fix this one but something went horribly wrong I just accidently replaced the Ju-87B-2 N1 mission that is already in the game into the one I made, I was very disappointed about this so I had to make a new one but I cant find any playing this mission on youtube and I don't know the description for this which that's a problem. So, can you please reply and copy and paste the Description and full description (and description name if you want) on full mission building it will be a lot of help thanks.
