Yes, we can recreate this and much more with the current system. The old coop system isn't needed anymore to make online wars.

Brilliant! so when do we start?

[robtek]

Of course when someone, as it was in the old il2, writes the necessary scripts.

[furbs]

Well if its as easy as that....who needs simple CO-OPs that could be made and played in about 15 mins by anyone.

Robtek, can you write some CO-OPs for me then?
I need about 12 for starters to sort some sqd training...you know mixed combat, ground pounding and escort missions, 12 vs 12, 6 vs 6, 2 vs 2 you know dead simple to do.

Then later some more complex stuff for higher level training.

PM me when you have got that sorted.

Cheers buddy!

CO-OPs and online wars here we go!

OK so as it was usually the Russian community that came up with the online coop wars whats the news from there? Online coop wars are huge in the Russian community.
I doubt I'm alone in thinking we would be playing a massive BoB online war by now.
Strange that we are not if its all so easy.

the first ones, IOW and VEF (realy ancient times ) were founded by a german respectivly by an english guy

Agreed..

The problem is the bar has been raised..

That is to say some of the people who were able to clear the bar in IL-2 can not clear the bar in CoD

The bar level being C#

Thus those who know C# can do amazing things in CoD that could not be done in IL-2.. But now the pool of people making missions (coops) is much smaller

It is a give and take.. It is too bad 1C did not have the time and money to offer both the old and the new.. Maybe someday they will?

But if I had to choose between having the old IL-2 FMB in CoD or the new CoD FMB I would choose the later.. Because being able to do more is allways better imho.. Granted it will be slow at first, as some get up to speed with C#, but in a year or two once we start seeing all the neat things being done that could not be done with the old system.. This rocky slow start will be but a faint memory imho

indeed, we will see.

Oh yes, thank god they simplified making coop missions by now having to use C#. It's so much easier than before, everybody's doing it! To think that the game has to be good enough four us, oh lol, it's we that have to be good enough for the game, of course! They should have sent a "C# Programming for dummies" with the game instead of an FMB manual...oh wait! there isn't any FMB manual, how silly of me. Sorry, couldn't restrain myself.
