Until there is a set standard training mission, you will get a mission from your instructor to download. You will download the mission and extract all the files. Move the file from wherever you downloaded it to, to Computer/Program Files/LucasArts/XwingTie

Now, if you have never downloaded a custom mission before, you will need to rename your "Mission" Folder. Rename it as MSNORG (For Mission Original). This way you wont lose your regular missions. Create a new folder, and name it "Mission". This is where you will be placing the files that you have just downloaded. You will need to rename the file "b1m1fm.tie". If there is a briefing, it should automatically come up with the mission. Depending on who wrote the mission for the ITOD, you will also find a .doc file. This is for your convenience so that you have some story line to go with your mission so that you can write a narrative. You also need an INV file in that folder that you will probably have to move over from the original folder.

Once you have your file in the right spot, close your folders, and get to flying! Please Note: When you fly a mission, you have to create a pilot. When you fly a second mission, you MUST create a NEW pilot! You MAY NOT use the same pilot name unless you delete the original one first. A good way to keep track of what you have done is to actually name your "pilot" the name of the mission. IE: If the Mission Name is "Incoming Personnel", name your "pilot" - "Incoming", "Personnel", or a combination of both. During the ITOD, you can refly the missions as many times as you want, but you still need new pilot files for every refly. Sometimes, you end up with "Incoming19" before you get a score that is halfway acceptable. It happens. Don't worry about it! But by naming them this way, if there is ever a problem with our system, you can always go back and grab your pilot file for verification of your score.

-Also for this game, you are required to send in a Pilot File (tfr). To do this, you will need to go to Computer/Program Files/LucasArts/TIE95. You will see the name of your tfr file above the folders. So if you named your pilot "Incoming" you will see "INCOMING.tfr".

What To Do

Report

When you report for an ITOD, you will use the RS Mission Reporter. We aren't quite up to that yet. For your very first mission, you will report the score, whether it is a success or a failure. We don't really care what your score is, we just want to know that you get the idea of how to report.

This is what I want you to do:

-Upon completion of your mission, pass or fail, take a screen shot (SS) of the page that has your score on it. Fraps is an excellent SS program, but you have to change the file to a jpg file before you report it, or it wont go through.

-In an email to your instructor, as well as the rest of your squad if you wish you should put what things that you see on your debrief so that we know how you did without opening the picture. (Score, pass/fail, kills, hit%, et al.) Also put your SS in this email. And with that, you are done!
