I get the stock version by disabling all mods in mod enabler thingy but when I do I have to have the DVD in or it won't run. Didn't there used to be a no DVD hack ? if so could somebody point me in the direction of it as I lost the will to live looking last night.
My post certainly wasn't any sort of criticism aimed at you or any other mission builder Vin. I know dick all squared about mission building but from what you have said in the past RoF in particular is a nightmare to build missions in. The majority of my time in RoF is on the Syndicate server and it is very much rinse and repeat, also, as you and Greg mention the problems with continually watching your stats back and the perenial bias in numbers in favour of Blues could wear down a saint . Personally I don't believe for a second anything will be done about it as too many people who go there only want to jerk off their egos while pretending they are MvR. God help us when they are all hooning about sporting 20mm cannon.:FI:Ardmore wrote:Richard, the unfortunate thing is that not enough folk know their way about the mission editor in RoF, if they did there would be more variety for us. Not blaming anyone here, if you've been in the editor you'll know its not a simple thing to knock out a mission. Just now I'm fed up with the thing, and the pisser is that 777 are not changing it.
So that leaves most folk with limited options for the type of game play, at the moment its 'Syndicate' or our own server with not much choice in between. The Syn dogfight server leaves me cold now, I cant be arsed with the way its set up (oh, and i hate this stats thing with a passion, cant remember when i had fun last, too busy worrying about stats). From now on if a game has stats or any ranking up to do I'm not interested.
Having said that, what RoF needs is a decent online war, forget the stats side of it, base it on team objectives and ditch the part that has players flying to preserve their stats.
So now at the moment its either making missions in Iron Front or il2. Reading about VF-17 at the moment, think I'll rattle out a half dozen or so coop missions about them (nearly historical), say 1943 - '44 period, all based around Bougainville.
Then theres DCSs A-10C to make missions for and fly, not everyones cup of tea I know, but theres a lot of satisfaction being able to fly and use the weapons successfully, even offline.

P.S If anyones interested in making coops for RoF I can send you some of the stuff I've made, may give you some idea.
