Official SEOW

Hi guys,

Got the server up and running thanks to the help of 4_Shades Thanks again mate.

Now here is my question: we are running a 1940 Ardennes campaign and I noticed we do not have the Hurricane I and the MS-410 available as reinforcements. Is there a way I can add them?

Also, can anyone tell me which map is used for the Oslo sector? I am trying to create a template but I can't figure out which map to use

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: We could use some extra pilots to fly missions with or against us We are trying to start to fly almost daily around 9PM Eastern US Time. If anyone is interested, please PM me

Hi Rott,

By default those aircraft are Axis type, I seem to remember. You can change their default nationality by editing the Object_Specifications table and changing their nation to "r" (for Allied only) or to "n" (both Allied and Axis).

The Oslo sector is one of the Online maps, I think. Will confirm later.

Cheers,

I have added a few French squadrons to the Ardennes sector (for the France 1940 campaign) but I am not sure how the MP will understand them. I got their names from this page:
http://france1940.free.fr/adla/ada_may.html

It seems it is interpreting them as being Russian units because when I assign it to a "Escadrille" it shows Esk.1, Zv. 1 instead of Esc.1, Gr.1 - is there any way I can force it to read as a French unit? There is the "AAF" which seem to be recognized as a French unit but that one is not even in the list of units in the database so I am not sure where it comes from If I knew I could copy the settings.

This is how I set the new French squads in the DB (Airforce_Units table):
Country: France
Unit_Name: G.C. I/1
Squadron_Type: PFI
Alignment: Allied
Country_ID: fr
Campaign_Sector: Ardennes

Do I need to change anything?

Also, I was wondering if there is a way to change some already assigned units to the French squadron. Change their name directly in the database perhaps? I can't find which table though

I apologize for posting so many questions. I still haven't figured which one is the Oslo map Thank you so much for your support 4Shades!

it is possible to add squadron???? i think only squadron in the game could be use no?

I am not sure, that's why I am trying

Hi guys,

IL-2 only has a hard-coded list of about 1000 air regiments. These cannot be changed or deleted or added.

The SEOW MP will happily interpret any regiments added to the Airforce_Units table in the DB, and will try to think up a good name for the expanded squadrons/flights etc. But when you build a mission and try to host it in IL-2, the game will crash when it sees any unrecognized air regiments. So there is NO POINT in trying to customize air regiments names. That is a limitation imposed by IL-2, not SEOW.

On the other hand, since IL-2 does not assign names to ground forces, you CAN customize Army_Unit names in SEOW without affecting game performance.

Cheers,

it is what i thought.... but i never think about ground unit

thanks shades like usually you are our light in the dark

Oslo uses the Net3summer map which is Online3 in FMB.
