Toonces' Red Flag 1/ Save 2 mod#2
Posted: 2008-11-25 03:55:43
Hi all.
I'm working on a tweak to the Nevada theater. I've been taking very careful notes this time around. I'm providing the notes on what I've done so far so that you can try it yourself if you'd like.
Of course, I welcome any comments/criticisms you may have.
And, finally, make sure you have careful editing technique and back up your files!
Nevada Campaign Edit
This will edit your Redflag1/save2 file.

1b. rebuild squadrons
1c. save; close
2. open tacedit, redflag1/save2. Sort by name, go to first 'air defense' squadron.
2a. Delete all: Patriot, Pegasus, Nike, SA-5
3. Save file; close.
4. Open tacedit
4a. Open redflag1/save2.
4b. run the following script:
make sure the path to the create.squadron.tcl is correct in your installation (this might not work unless you have Snakeman's TCL scripts. In that case, manually add the squadrons above in the airfields listed. Squadrons with a # in front are commented out.)
4c. Rebuild squadrons
4d. Save and close tacedit.
5. Open tacedit
