Hey thanks Gunter, I'm getting right to it... :steamthumbsup:
Gunter Severloh  [author] 16 Aug, 2022 @ 5:18pm 
You could easily do that with my mission here, my mission is actually a pretty simple build, its the script and coding that make it complex as that is where i spent most of my time on it.

But if you wanted to use Drongo's map population, all you would need to do is
1. Open my mission and put it into the editor see my vid on how to do that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3NdnGicX6c

2. Once the mission is in the editor then make sure you have drongo's mod loaded, put the module down for his mod, and then put units ect,. you want for his, then adjust the module accordingly, and your good to go.

I have an idea how Drongos mod works, i haven't used it fully since he released it and when i tried it at the time it had only so many features.
But thats about it. Just know doing that will create a addon dependency in the mission for you and you wont be able to play without it.

To be true I have been looking for an updated version of a mission that had all those features, I think the guy who did it no longer makes scenarios, the scenario in question was glorious, but you where limited to only helicopters.
If I had time I would make something similar with the drongo map population but I am a noob with it.

Sorry, I did read the description, I thought it had task in it. Anyway is a fun way to spend time.
Gunter Severloh  [author] 16 Aug, 2022 @ 5:07am 
Did you read the description at all? Says what the mission has for features, but no
it has no missions in it.
Gideon 15 Aug, 2022 @ 11:00pm 
Does this scenario have missions? Like destroying certain assets? Assist friendly forces with CAS? Infil and exfill in hot zones? Logistics? Or is more like shooting whatever spawns.
HvyMetal 2 Aug, 2022 @ 9:51am 
Yeah, I like the assets would really be the reason getting. Fine you talked me into it. 👍😉
Gunter Severloh  [author] 2 Aug, 2022 @ 7:59am 
I see, you can still get it for the factions, weapons, objects and map,
map is based in location of Poland, very beautiful land. But as for the
Alien part its more of a mystery thing then anything you'll spend more
time investigating and being shocked and in awe by it, its pretty neat.
But ya get it for the assets at least.

I'm more old school for this type of game, not future or aliens type so to speak.
