DBW Mission Pro Combo Discussion & Bugs
Mission_bug:
While playing the latest BOB campaign by Monty27 I encountered a strange problem with
mission four which would appear to be a fault with MissionPro as when the mission is opened
in FMB it is set ok. Also with MP de-activated there is no problem.
Player aircraft is a Hawk.
Once you select play this happens.
When you actually get to the mission the Hawks are actually French marked Battles,
however, come out of the mission and start it again and the Hawks are there.
Confused, you bet. ???
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

With Mission Pro Como activated, I found that the skin specified for the player's plane is automatically selected for all other planes in the player's flight. For example, I use the AVG skins originally created for the "White Sun, Blue Sky" campaign, for a mission I built. I selected No. 79 for my plane and other numbers for the remaining three planes. However, in the mission, all four planes showed up as No. 79. I deactivated Mission Pro Como and ran the mission again. This time, all four planes showed up with different numbers as I specified in FMB.

Riptide,
yes, this is something made on purpose, there was some kind of debate about the subject. The basic solution to what you say is to leave the switch in the side (right) of Mission Skin, so nothing is changed (but if you used that plane with a differnet skin selected by yourself in the past it will be applied by the stock game to you). So I introduced the option of "Player Skin", and basically two different behaviors were possible when specifying skins:
-The change affects all the members of your flight, so if you change the skin all your flying partners will look similar.
-The change affects only your plane, the eventual 3 other members of the flight continue to have the one of the mission.
I adopted the first one, because the big problem of the second one, I saw it many times, and that is the reason why I took that decision, perhaps you were flying with a blue skin and all the other members of your flight were with a silver skin, and just tell me if it is not worst than repeating numbers, the differences could be too extreme.
The problem is that there isn't more space to place another switch to select Skin to All or only to Player or another combobox. It's difficult to solve all the eventual different needs.
If someone proposes something that could solve all the requirements I can implement it, but it isn't so easy.

Pablo,
First of all, thank you very much for responding to my concern and for sharing the details.
The only reason I decided to activate Mission Pro Combo is that the FMB mouse wheel zoom mod is bundled with it. My problem would be solved if the FMB mouse wheel zoom could be made standalone.
I realize that there may be some economy to bundling mods, but doing so, does risk conflicts for some users like the one I am have here. There are a number of skin packs, like the "White Sun Blue Sky" AVG skin pack, that have been created to give another dimension of immersion to the game. The way Mission Pro Combo is set up now forces players to make a choice whether or not to give up these skin packs.
Thanks again for your explanation.
Cheers,
Riptide

Pete,
I don't understand it so clearly. Why don't you post the contents of the .mis file here to understand the situation. The briefing says that the mission originally has a flight of the RAF. But in the 2 Print Screens you post never is selected that flight, so I assume you didn't change anything.
I can figure (I'm not sure, you have to confirm that to me) that you don't have the highest rank possible for that campaign. If you don't and that mission is to fly the first plane and there are no more planes for a lower rank pilot, it will transfer to you to some flight with enough planes (4) to be able to assign you a plane in accordance with your rank.
Give me more details, if not it is impossible to understand what is going on.
Regards,
Pablo
