Can't fly my own mission

[Perfesser]

I wanted to add a few things to a mission Mad Trooper created so in my first foray into FMB I did so.

Tried his first and it flew fine, I could select any plane. I added a few flights and on one plane I clicked the "player" tab.

I can only fly the plane with "player" checked, I'm assigned that spot when the mission loads and cannot change. I want to fly others so I uncheck "player" on that particular plane.

When I load the mission I can't select any plane.

What have I done wrong?

you need to go into FMB and change it there...

[Perfesser]

change what is the question........ first foray into FMB

[JensenPark]

sorry...was typing and ran away for the kettle.

There will be others better able to guide you, but this is what I do:

go into FMB

-file

-load

-net

-coop

find the mission you want from the window that opens.

[Perfesser]

Yeah, I messed this up somewhat.

I was not aware when you test the mission from inside FMB you're only in the plane you select as "player".

When none are selected as "player" you can external view any of them but not fly any.

The mission works fine in the game once I removed the player checkmark from all planes.

Thanks for the quick reply anyway, this mission building stuff is sort of fun.

I've never really got the hang of building missions.

Mind you, few of the guys have showed me - but just can't get it.

Yeah, you have to designate a plane for player. If you don't , it makes it basically a coop mission, as those are the ones that don't have a player plane selected.

I will sometimes just close FMB and run the mission as a coop for testing. (don't forget to save!)

[Perfesser]

Yeah thanks, just a noob starting off with FMB, learning as I go. Got that sorted out.

Having fun.
