A couple of questions about campaign missions

So I've been slowly learning falcon bms. I jumped into a campaign and have mostly been doing air to geound. The first few missions went fine, and then this kept happening. So here are my questions:

  1. Is it possible to add additional escort flights to an auto-generated package? I can't find any helpful instructions neither in the manual nor online. I tried opening the ATO and adding flights to the package that way but it didn't work. I tried making a whole package just to fly a fighter sweep in the target area around the same time but that didn't help obviously. I'm hoping extra escorts might stop the entire USAF from getting killed.

  2. If I assign a ground target to each member in my flight (for example a runway segment on an oca mission), and we are using laser guided bombs, will the ai drop both of their bombs on that assigned target? Is that how it's supposed to be done? I assume real fighter pilots wouldn't make multiple passes on a target.

Independent cfis, how are you finding students?

I'm an independent cfi and last year I was at the airport 8+ hours a day several times every week, all from walk-ins at the school. This year, things are much slower. How are you guys finding enough students to even have the option of working 6 days a week?

I get the whole "do a good job and word spreads" thing, I've gotten some students and opportunities from that, but that doesn't really happen much when you are already slow.

Im a member of several Facebook groups but I see lots of cfis posting there every day with no attention on their posts. Is that a good way to advertise or are there better ways? Does having a social media following help? Faasteam seminars? What do you guys think are the best marketing methods?

Cliffs of Dover Blitz campaign generator problems

Hello, I've been really enjoying IL2 Cliffs of Dover Blitz for single player. It feels very immersive. But I wanted to try the user-made campaign generators.

I was using dynmis for a while and that was okay but I got k\kind of irritated at how no matter what I set the start type to, every mission was an air start.

So I decided to try silkyskyj's DCE tool. I used the installer and then when I load up the game, I have the options for "DCE Campaign" and "DCE Single Mission". Neither one does anything when I click them. So I tried searching all over the internet and decided that maybe it didn't work because I have CloD installed an an external hard drive. So I reinstalled CloD on the C: drive and reinstalled the campaign generators.

DCE is still doing the same thing, and now dynmis doesn't work at all. When I open it up, it still thinks CloD is installed on the external drive for some reason. When I click "find IL2", the app crashes. When I copy the actual address of the root folder into it, and then create a campaign and open up the game, the campaign isn't there.

I'm getting really frustrated with this. I tried disabling steam backup for CloD but that did nothing. Does anybody have any idea what could be causing these problems? I'd like to be able to use at least one of the generators.

Sit-on-top users, what do you use to protect your legs from the sun?

I had to recently switch from my sit-inside that I used with a spray skirt to a shorter sit-on-top kayak. Now my usual long sleeve upf shirt and swimming trunks combo isn't enough anymore. I applied sunscreen every hour, and I didn't get a sunburn, but I tan extremely easily so I end up with this. Are there any light long pants you guys recommend?

"canva: the thing that makes anything a thing"

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else complain about this commercial. I hate that infernal squirrel. The whole thing makes no sense. Why does the lady almost get crushed by a satellite? Why does the squirrel say "look out☺️" in such a cheerful voice? What does any of it have to do with anything? And what is the "squirrel thing" they are talking about? Is everyone just suddenly obsessed with squirrels? What does the squirrel represent? What's its significance other than saving a lady from a falling satellite for some reason?
