Template Mission: Typhoon MkIb 'Jabo' Hunter
============================

Hi all,

This mission is designed as a template for players to take away and create their own missions and campaigns.  As it stands, it's a nice standalone single mission, or it can serve as the first mission of a campaign.  But the main point is that players can modify the mission to their own taste and style with a minimum of effort.  Copy and paste or add new objects; change the routes; add or subtract aircraft, targets or objectives - whatever you like to make your own missions just the way you like 'em - all the 'bones' are here for you to put the 'meat' on...

"Pilot Notes" are included in the briefing, which is itself also designed to use as a template, and the mission is also designed to familiarize the player with the Typhoon MkIb, whether the player is new to the aircraft or returning to the 'car-door' Tiffie from another aircraft.  As with the mission itself, the Pilot Notes can be used as they are, but are also intended for modification to suit the player.

Also included are single mission folder structure, briefing template, historical notes, 'starter' objectives and routes for your own missions, and populated RAF Tangmere Fighter Station.

The idea for a 'Template Mission' came about at this thread, and we hope it will encourage the community to post their own template missions and pilot notes for their favorite aircraft.


Mission created in version 4.111m / SAS Modact v4/ SAS Engine Mod v2.6_RC_Final  - Get the Typhoon here.

Prerequisite: RAF Tangmere 1940s Fighter Station upgrade
============================

This template mission utilises Canon's beta English Channel map, vpMedia's Channel map upgrade, and the RAF Tangmere 1940s Fighter Station upgrade.  The template will not work without these prerequisite mods installed first.  All the information you need to install the Channel map and upgrades is here.

Bonus No. 1
==========



If your install doesn't already include a static "Tiffie", download mine here.  Install in your #SAS or other mods folder.  Readme included.


Bonus No. 2
==========



You really must get Skunk's most excellent default skin mod for the Tiffies.  Not only are they a nice advance on the standard default skins, these ones fix the 'cowling bug' from the cockpit view.  Go ahead and download 'em here.  Install in your #SAS or other mods folder.  Instructions included.


Bonus No. 3
==========



Add-on groundcrew, modified for the static Tiffie.  You don't need to download anything for these guys because they use your stock 3d models, just copy and paste the lines below to your static.ini:

Bonus No. 4
==========



If your install doesn't already have these cool fire trucks, get 'em here.  Install in your #SAS or other mods folder.  Instructions included.

Bonus No. 5
==========



Grab this animated flags pack here.  Install in your #SAS or other mods folder.  Instructions included.


All the bonus objects are built into the mission template, and are highly recommended and relevant to bringing the mission to life, but they are optional, so if you don't want 'em, just leave them out.

I've test flown the mission for a week, so it should work as advertised (including the pilot notes).  Any errors or problems, please let me know and I'll do my best to sort them out.  Tell us if you like the idea and find it useful...

All the best,
