Case n°1: Normal use: to bind to a mission a briefing:
1° - In mission, "to open" then selection of the mission
2° - possible Modification of description:
to be done: to click on "Description" in top on left. The window changes
color to indicate that one can write.
After modification, to click again on "Description", LOBrief proposes
to safeguard... One can crush the load mission if it is wished.
2°.1- One clicks on weather allows the posting
of the window "Flash Weather"
3° - To click on "create"
in "Briefing"
4° - Addition of picture. Formats support: jpg, JPEG, bmp.
(it would seem that some bmp are problem...)
If one wishes to add others of them (until A three), it is enough to ravel with
arrows
One click on the picture does it open in its real size. One click on the window which has just opened close the picture in the real size.
5° - Addition of comments in the window
of right-hand side.
6° - To click on "save" to save the file briefing. This last contains
images + comments (optional Operation)
7° - To click on "generate"
8° - One selected information which one wishes in flight
9° - One closes and one launches Lockon, one selected this mission and it
is OK...
The Brief file can be sent with the mission corresponding
to his/her small comrades...
The latter open LOBrief then, clicks on "opening" in "Briefing",
select the brf file wished, and finally, are invited to charge the mission related
to this brf file (we are in the case of mission solo whom one division put in
own way addon or other).
LOBrief will then post the whole of the data of the mission (like before) as
well as the saved pictures and the added comments. The pilot does not have any
more but to click on "generate" to be able to choose the infos than
it wish in flight... and thus idem that 7° above.
Case n°2: Create a file briefing
nonrelated to a mission.
1° - Without opening mission, clicking directly on "Create" in
briefing.
2° - Choice of the pictures + addition
of comments
3° - Possibility of saving
4° - To click on "generating".
5° - Choice of the camp for which one wishes to apply his information.
6° - It is noted that Plane choice
the "of flight" is not available.... Normal, the briefing is not related
to a mission.
7° - One closes and one launches Lockon, one selected his mission and it
is OK...
One can send the brf file which one safeguarded with his small comrades of flight so that they have the notes and pictures.... They will be able to open same way this file for generer texture. Thus in his current version, one lays out of a palliative with the incapacity of LOBrief of gererate the missions multi. Temporary incapacity....
1 - Some info are sometimes kept in the memory –
it is strongly recommended to close LOBrief and to restart it between two creations
2 - The weather forecast flash is not available when the mission is loaded from
a .brf file. This bug has been taken into account and will be corrected as soon
as possible.
LOBrief is in constant evolution and will eventually
allow a immersion feeling still never seen during multi-players sessions, or
during the discovery of missions made by the players community. It is indeed
through LOBrief that the recon photos of the objective will be shared. It is
through LOBrief that the tactics will be reworked. The most important notes
for the flight will be incorporated to your G-force vest, in order to overcome
a flight-computer failure, or to remind the vital parameters during a carrier-landing,
such as the wind speed, or the fog density!
