edit: Ahhh, i start to think, he is talking about qmb. Sorry, the quick missions are based on templates, which brings its restrictions and reduces the choises to a minimum. Thats the reason, why there is a fmb.

Things we only dreamed about in 2005.. So perhaps....

It could definitely be done with the QMB since the skill level is just another line in the .mis file. It would require adding another dialogue box in the QMB Gui that worked with each individual plane, just like skins for the plane and pilot work now.

Planes 3
OnlyAI 1
Skill0 2 <-------- Plane 1 Skill Level (Veteran - 2)
Skill1 1 <-------- Plane 2 Skill Level (Average - 1)
Skill2 3 <-------- Plane 3 Skill Level (Ace - 3)
Skill3 0 <-------- Plane 4 Skill Level (Rookie - 0)

If we did get this feature another thing I would like to see done with it is to incorporate a Random feature for you to pick too. In the Gui you would see this for a dropdown list.

Rookie
Average
Veteran
Ace
Random
The Random feature could be a straight 25% for each of the 4 options (Ace, Veteran, Average, & Rookie) or it could be truly random depending on the programming difficulty.


I understand what needs to be done but I definitely don't have the technical ability to accomplish it.

Edit:
I rearranged the skill level order in the above part of the post to match how the list order is currently presented on the main QMB Page.
If an individual skill level for each pilot was to be implemented the individual skill level would need to be set up in the "Advanced Setup" section of the QMB.

The was the original list for this post but it doesn't match what currently exists in the QMB which could create confusion for the player.
Ace
Veteran
Average
Rookie
Random*
(The Random option is my "Wish" addition for the list since it is not available at this time.)
