IL2 BOS Mission Editor Tutorial 1 Single Player Mission

[@onlyforbrian2]

Supernova... you started the mission tutorial at step 2, where's the mission editor?

@@supanova88 thank you

[@Nickboy99_YT]

I know it's an old video but it's still very relevant today. Started using the editor about a month or two ago and this helped me a lot! I still come back to this video every now and then to get a refresher, great vid!

[@supanova88]

Thanks. I really appreciate your kind words.

[@aaronwhite1786]

Maybe it's because I spent a ton of time in the original Il-2 Mission Editor, but the newer one definitely doesn't feel as intuitive to use. I miss all of the hot keys I was used to, like using the numpad keys to rotate planes and objects.

[@BigDawgCleveland]

Great Tutorial but when adding the second waypoint I had to hold the (SHIFT key while left clicking to add it).

[@supanova88]

I overlooked mentioning that at the time.

[@OzkayaUdAtolyesi]

I created the task. I created a file in the mission section on steam and saved it in it. However, I cannot find the mission from the mission section in the game and fly. Please explain clearly. Where can we save and fly???????

[@jameswilliams1085]

very nice video, it's a shame there are so few vidoes on this misión editor. Thanks for the trouble you have taken in uploading this

[@supanova88]

As far as I'm aware the Rise of Flight editor has the same functions. I would search on that subject to find more information.

[@RedBravo65]

Found this very useful. Would love to see more from you on this subject. So much I want to do with the editor.

[@supanova88]

I expect to return to BoS next year. I might do more with the editor as part of that.

[@RedBravo65]

I sincerely hope so. Cheers.

[@CheckSix]

RedBravo65 me too

[@felixfernandezdecastro6251]

Thanks a million, just what I needed!

[@callsignnictmere465]

How do you open the mission properties dialog box?

[@supanova88]

It's been so long since I looked at the editor I'm afraid I can't remember.

[@callsignnictmere465]

@@supanova88 that is ok I found it. Thanks for the video instruction.

[@TheRaptorXX]

Nice one young Master Nova!! Thankyou very much. It gets a plus from me.

[@supanova88]

Thanks. :)

[@nealshave6085]

Hi, really good tutorial and explained well and at a good pace to follow. I’ve copied this setup in BON. Two spits take off and fly to another airfield as a simple learning exercise. It works but my wingman doesn’t land. He stays in formation and as I enter the circuit he just crash lands nearby. I’ve linked my aircraft to the last way point with a land at object. My wingman is linked to me and this works as he follows. Do I need to link the last way point to him to trigger him to land as well? Thanks. PS will also experiment and post if I work it out.

[@supanova88]

I'm afraid I haven't used the mission editor for some time.

[@BeeKayDadaphil]

Thank you very much. Now I created my first mission. You helped me a lot. Thanks again.

[@supanova88]

I'm glad I could help. Have fun creating missions. :)

[@MrEvoman1]

Outstanding Tutorial Thank You Very Helpful

[@supanova88]

You're welcome. :)

[@SONICBOOM-117]

Thank you. I created my mission and saved it. Where do I find my mission?

[@SONICBOOM-117]

I didn't have it saved under missions. I got it now. 😁

[@bensingleton2798]

Why couldnt they use the same system as the old game

[@estonedreveldo735]

I made this, but all the aircraft dident taxi, instead they just took straight off from wher there parked? could you help?

[@supanova88]

The video was correct at the time of recording. If you're sure you have followed the tutorial precisely something may have changed with how it works.

[@estonedreveldo735]

@@supanova88 you dident mention that the airfeild has to be the same team lol

[@larryfoster3432]

When setting up a mission, are there any ground based mobile rocket launchers that can be used for ground attack? I've found them on Trains and Ships, but that is the extent of it.

[@FroggyFrog9000]

how to add people/troops to the mission?

[@supanova88]

I didn't get that far with the editor. I do recall I read that it's possible to see ground crew around an airfield, but I have never seen it, and I could never find out how to do it, if it is indeed possible.

[@FroggyFrog9000]

Yeh its a bit of a mystery haha, Ill try and figure it out in the coming days/weeks lol.

[@VoyaPilot]

Hey can you add soldier on foot ?

[@supanova88]

I believe you can add ground crew, but never experimented with it.

[@MrCatlolz]

I cannot even find the .exe to start the mission editor ?

[@overlord1974]

Thanks for your tutorial, it is a pity that this editor is so complicated, and to do something so simple you have to invest so much time, with any other simulator I do not invest even half the time in doing a simple mission.Should take care of this type of detail, editors such as DCS or Steel Beast PRO are more simple and far superior in terms of design and ease of use.

[@supanova88]

I think it's consistent with the developers sims in general, with a concentration on code rather than presentation.

[@jameswilliams1085]

i have thank tyou!!! if you do do any more of these they will be very well received!!

[@supanova88]

I would like to get back into IL2 at some point, and if I do I might explore the editor further. There is a lot of good stuff in there.

[@SevenDragonBall]

Hi thanks your Tutorial, may I ask? how to distinct between Target or Object when I wanna to link？

[@Aardvark892]

When setting the second waypoint, shouldn't it be Shift + Left Click? That's the only way I could get it to work. This may be because the version I am using is newer than the one used for this video. I've got BoK installed, and we're up to our second aircraft of that set.

[@supanova88]

You're correct. I included a correction on the description. I didn't realise the mistake until after the video was uploaded.

[@SwordofDivision]

I'm having great difficulties in setting up a level bombing run. I have 4X Ju-88A4s at altitude 1500m. I placed an AttackGround at a Russian airfield at 1500m. Placed the waypoint a distance from it. And they never drop their bombs. Most frustrating. Can anyone help?

[@RudeRaptor]

When I start the game there is no air craft . I selected player plane and on ground. Not sure what I did wrong.

[@supanova88]

You have to make sure you're following all the steps during the creation process. It's easy to miss a step and not have the mission function correctly.

[@RudeRaptor]

Ok I l'll check my steps. Thank you !

[@supanova88]

Good luck with it. :)

[@sebastianaramburo9186]

There seems to be no file to import the Taxi waypoints for the Kuban map. can you please tell me how to do so?

[@supanova88]

I don't have Kuban so unfortunately I can't answer that question. I would suggest posting it on the IL2 mission making forum: forum.il2sturmovik.com/forum/92-mission-making-and-mission-editor/

[@CheckSix]

Did you have any luck Sebastian?

[@vanscov]

Great help! Thank you so much.

[@supanova88]

You're very welcome. :)

[@moosehunter1969]

I tried to get to grips with it but it’s just too complicated and unintuitive. The older games FMBs were perfectly adequate and much easier to use.

[@Simon1279.]

Agree, this is the worse mission editor i've ever seen in a game eg: ArmA, DCS, IL2 CoD. IL2 GB, is a good game with the worse ME i've ever seen, in DCS you can setup your own mission within minutes, in this one you need at least more than 30 minute just to prepare the map.

[@lakkchina]

I cant not stat in cockpit. does not work for me

[@supanova88]

You have to follow the steps very carefully.

[@solidkreate5007]

Can you make a tutorial on ship movement?

I'm not expecting to do more on the IL2 mission editor.

[@EdMalek]

Hi! I'm trying to follow your tutorial to build a 2-player co-op mission but on the beginning when I'm placing the first 2 bf-109 it doesn't allow me to select both aircraft with "Player" AI. Do you happen to know how I could create 2 player slots? Thanks and happy flights!!

[@supanova88]

I don't have any experience with multiplayer. The best suggestion I have is to look for Rise of Flight mission editor tutorials. The editor is essentially the same for both titles. I think most tutorials for that title cover multiplayer missions.

[@EdMalek]

supanova ok thanks for the quick reply!! :)

[@supanova88]

No problem. And good lick with the co-op mission. I know how hard it can be to find relevant information.

[@flyingnutcase6322]

A good simple mission to start with; nice. It's a pity there isn't enough interest out there to keep the series going. :-/ Thanks for this though.
