Mission Edition Tools

This is probably the best and most difficult tool to master in Falcon BMS.

As for Falcon, the learning curve is steep and manual is… non existent…

It will be able to help you modify a campaign or TE save deeply!

Here are things you can edit (small list):

  • Flights, Squadrons, Packages (names, types, weapons, fuels, pilots, status, side, patch, airbase, …)
  • Ground Units, Battalion (name, type, status, side, mission, location, …)
  • Taskforces (name, side, position, objectives, …)
  • Campaign and mission general information
  • Map with objectives and units placed (easy on map edition)
  • List of objectives, Airbases radios frequencies and radio navigation aids info, …
  • A lot more to discover…

Note: Beware as this tool has little limits and no documentation so you can mess up things pretty easily…

The tool can be found HERE.
