| | Message text I was wondering if it would be possible to create new plane charts to represent ace and novice pilots. For the novice pilot, a plane chart that has the restricted moves removed from it and for the ace pilot the plane chart could have the restricted moves placed up in the regular moves section and possibly renumbered.
In effect there would be 3 plane charts for each aircraft type: a novice chart, a veteran chart (the normal chart that is used now), and an ace chart. If the code references the move number (for example 29L2) to determine if a straight prep. move (such as 3S2) must precede it, then maybe the “restricted” moves on the ace chart could be given a unique, new number (such as 39S2) so that the game code does not recognize it as a restricted move anymore for the ace plane chart.
I had thought of this idea mostly to use in creating new scenarios more than for a campaign use, but if it is even possible it could probably be used for that also if a campaign feature is ever started. The Rickenbacker scenario, for instance, would be more interesting, I think, if the Americans had one Nieuport 28 (ace) where the usually restricted moves are treated as if they were not restricted and two Nieu 28 (veteran) and maybe 1 of the Albatroses used a novice chart where the restriced moves have been eliminated from the chart.
So, Great and Powerful Webmasters, is this possible?? It seems to me like it would not be too difficult to do but I don’t know much about programming. |
