S3 Series

Frame 3 Orders

To win this frame we must keep F110 from being closed. We need it to refuel and get back in the fight. For the most part, all fighter squads will be in this area at all times. I would like the 352nd and the 4th to start the frame from here and set up a forward sweep along the front line from the "0" vert line east to the "2" vert line. Please have the 4th FG to the east to help the Night Stalkers when they arrive near the front. Both groups can roll heavy if so desired to help take targets down.

KoN (and all associated bomber groups) up from F34 and climb to 10K. Primary Target is F138 & F140. The bombers will have close escort from LF-6 and by the time they reach the front also have high cover from the forward sweep.

Night Stalkers. I would like you to start picking away at F117 then 142 after 117 closes. If you think you will need more support the 4th should be near to call for help.

EDIT
All groups MUST RTB TO ORIGINAL BASE to refuel and arm unless DAMAGED AND TRYING TO SAVE THE PLANE.

HELP WITH BDA

Download and unzip into where you put DTF files for your game, I know on a PC it is the main directory. For you MAC users someone needs to chime in.

If you need to know what is keeping a field open at a particular field just run the DTF for the field in question and it will tell you what's left.

You must have these files in your computer for you to use them.

Ciao!

Dunno how the dtf files will work, but the iea of keeping F110 open is super.

I was shot down there when the DR's were attacking, and they didn't make it.

Oh yeah, the Mac pukes ( like me) habe to put the DTF stuff in the "resources" folder. I think Madcat is the expert here.

Gums sends...

Yes. For Mac users: Control-Click on the Warbirds application and put the .dtf files in the Resources folder.

For all: to use the .dtf files for fields 117, 138, 139, 140, 141, and 142 you will open the radio buffer window and type .dotfile followed by the file associated with the field you want a BDA for.

EXAMPLE: .dotfile F117bda

This would give you a listing of the remaining ground objects at Field 117.

I wrote these with the script writer provided by Noflyz.

Thanks, much, for the primer. I was going to ask if there was a sizable "read me" that went with the file before downloading it. FWIW NoFlyZ is really good at this stuff.

For those who have been doing this for at least 20 minutes, it is my observation that there is a "work around" for almost everything which makes me wonder why resources available in the GAME are ever turned off. Pretty soon someone will be able to write a .dtf that will turn the colored dots back on. However, what we really need is a "script" that will deliver enough players to do this stuff with all HUMAN crews.

Just to remind the buff users. DTF files do not work in the CA arena.. It flashes then goes away on my system.

Our route is as follows:

F110 cant be used as a super base. Defeats the whole purpose of step basing. Since the MC200s can carry drop tanks and the other bombers have good range I dont see the need for it anyway. F110 can base 4 of your 9 steps. It dont think it unreasonable for the the remaining 5 to base elsewhere especially since the RAF took great pains to close the other two airfields in the south area.

Uncle Hawk, I would advise you to enter the S3 arena sometime before Sunday's event and give the little .dtf files a try. These do not draw pretty lines on the map but rather bring up a list of ground target numbers in the buffer.

I tried it today and it appears to function correctly in the CA arena.

To see how the script operates: enter Greece arena offline, use one of the .dtf files to give you the status of the targets at one of the aforementioned fields, then enter ".destroyall n" (where n=field number), and then use the .dtf again for the same field. The numbers should now all read zero (0).
