I am going to be revamping my "Full Throttle" Mission and building it around this excellent target range script built by Cougar over on the ED side. It actually tracks hits and misses on the various targets with the minor exception to the Huey guns- as they're not currently tracked by the game. This will change- probably with the upcoming patch... and the script Cougar has built will be adjusted to accommodate it when possible.

There are some particulars of the MOD that you should review HERE:

He gets into a bit more detail about how the range is setup and the various zones that exist to track shots from individual aircraft during their run in on target. He explains why it's necessary for the current aircraft to clear the target before the next aircraft flies in on the same track- as an example.

A few of my missions have to be taken out of service here including Wartweasel and Killbox as a result of issues with MIST in MP. Eastbound and Down is still working reasonably well- but I don't want to overplay that. Full Throttle is OKAY- but it's pretty messy and was a REAL hodge-podge of concepts all mashed together. It was my first map, built off of a concept laid out by our very own Einstein... WAY back in the day!

There are new methods of doing the things I tried to do just with triggers before- resulting in well over a hundred individual entries to do something that a MIST script can do in 5 lines of script. (When it works lol.)

You may see missions from the Georgia Peach campaign pop up- they're newer and in relatively good working order. I'm trying to keep it to the missions that are shorter and a little more achievable. Keep in mind, they're not "IN YOUR FACE" all the time...
