homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation Rise of Flight - The First Great Air War ROF Campaign Released

OK, got it.
Thanks a lot Brigstock!

NP Elephant.

Glad to help

Java is installed on my computer but when i right click the .jar and select open with java all I get is a black box for a second then nothing.

Also when i went to java update download page and it asks whether it is for online or ofline. which would i install?

Either one will do. One downloads the full program to run locally on your PC the other runs the program over the internet.

Ok,, got that and created a campaign. I have a folder in my main ROF folder called RoF Campaign. this is your program. In that folder is a campaigns folder. In that folder is my new campaign,,called 1st try. in the 1st try Folder are three files. 1st try.mission data,,1st try.aces,, 1st try.campaign.

when i click campaign in the game this new 1st try campaign does not show up.

where to next?

thanks Pawgy

The campaign plays out in single missions. Go to single missions in game and look for 1st try titled missions. Once the mission is run you need to go back to the campaign manager and create a combat report manually. Noting down any kills you made and those of you flight. Once that is hit create mission to generate the next mission.
Missions are created with a date in the title to identify them

thanks Brigstock . I think I am ok now. Just could not spot any enemy my first try. saw some air activty but it was miles above me.

Edit. 1/2 hour later. Looks like it would be a very nice addition to ROF butmy computer is not powerful enough to run these missions. Just too many planes in the sky. My machine gun shoots about 1 bullet a second. thanks for trying to help. I would need to be able to limit the amount of aircraft in the air at any one time.

WOW!

I'm just starting to get into RoF, as I have always been an OFF fan. What always bothered me about OFF was the stale limitations of the CFS3 engine, and now that ICE has made RoF more reasonable, I find myself making a slow transition.


This campaign generator has made RoF very appealing to me! This is excellent work and I would love to see where future development of this campaign system leads!

Imagine the implementation of a claim system (that must be verified), moving front lines, historical squadron placement with skins! RoF with the elements of the OFF manager system and this Campaign would make THE definitive WW1 sim!


Again, this is great work! Thank you for your efforts!

Which, of course, is possible.
You need to re adjust the settings for the generator.

Look at the first page when the app opens, there is a tab for settings

Oh...OH! I see! Thanks for the link BrigStock!


Looks like Pat paved the way for one awesome sim!

Lets hope he will get the time to do the 1.015 upgrade in his CG.

Hey all - being married recently and with school back in (daughter is in middle school now) I have had to take a break from coding. I have not picked it up for two reasons: no time and Neoqb is working on a full fledged campaign. In truth I hope that Neoqb's campaign is so good that I can abandon the software. If Neoqb moves in a direction such that there is still a reason to continue, I will pick it back up.

Great airplane sale - I just dropped $40 to buy the entire stable. I am hoping that the release of two seaters, even AI only, will happen concurrently with the campaign.

So let me take this occasion to congratulate and to say thank you for what you've given to me so far.
Thank you thank you and thank you. Best wishes for you family.

Michael.

Yes, it seems that Pat has given us a truly top tool to play with here, so thanks from me too.

I wanted to check out the process of creating and reporting a mission, before my RoF IC order arrives later this week - but I get an error trying to create a mission, it says it can't find the path. I guess it's looking for the RoF install that isn't present yet?

most likely, yes.
It puts a generated mission file into your ROF missions folder and it misses that directory, I suppose.

Michael.

Very cool proggy - hats off to Pat - hope he updates one more time to add the missing planes.

OK - you do have to have RoF before you can create a mission - makes sense right? Here is what I suggest - once you have installed RoF:
1. Unzip RoF Camp into the RoF root directory (it has its own folder so it is nice and neat)
2. Create a shortcut for the RoF Camp Java app and move it to your desktop
3. Press Planes Owned button an check off all that apply/save
4. Press the Configuration button and season to taste/save
5. Press the Create New button and set up a country/pilot/timeframe/squad - and save
6. THEN press the Create Mission button and it will work. Hit Accept and then go to RoF under missions and you will see it listed w/ a date/mission type/pilot name

Rgr, gonna do that. I noticed the Tripe and Pup not present, but I suppose this will still work with never game versions, just they won't appear in the missions? I'll try my hand at a "Second Battle of the Somme" first, since that goes so nicely with reading "Winged Victory". So I guess the missing planes won't matter to me...

Does RoF accept alt-tabbing to get back to the campaign interface?

Patrick,

Congratulations to you and your new bride!

I just downloaded your Campaign generator. It is truly a tremendously addition to Rise of Flight. It "encourages" me to buy all the planes available . Thank you for your effort.

Nobody can blame you for putting coding on the back burner, some things are more important

Thanks for your effort so far.
