How to change raven/ fire storm status?

[jerry.zhou4]

I have spend quite some time now on trying to find the locating where the status of raven and fire storm is located, but only meet with failure. The fighter is not fast enough to reach of some of UFO. If anyone know how to get to that status please let me know.

All aircraft are in the "Hanger". From there you can buy new Ravens for different country's. It also lets you see if they are working, being transferred between country's or being repaired.
It's also where you pick what weapon they have on them.

Firestorms are brought from in engineering but once got, work the same as with Ravens.

There are three other options in engineering (same list you got the firestorm from) that can "boost" your aircraft;
Either with better aim (next two shot will always hit), made from sectoids.
Defenses (next to aliens shots will miss), made from floaters.
Or speed (this one just stops the clock for a few seconds so you have longer to shoot the aliens before they can get away), made from cyberdiscs.

Any of that help?

if you attack a UFO and fail to bring it down, it will attempt to flee.

depending on where it is in its run, it will be able to get away.

NEVER break off an engagement, because if your plane is not shot down, you will have to wait for it to return to base before you can send out another one, during which time the UFO will escape.

instead let it get shot down, meaning you can send a follow up interceptor after the UFO immediately.

You would need to do some hex-edits. I can help you with identifying the proper hexes and how to change them. Are you familiar with PatcherGUI? And are you talking about Enemy Unknown or Enemy Within?

[red255]

I don't trust szmind to fiddle with my planes, he doesn't know top gun.

Im not very familiar with PatcherGUI, but I have being playing with it yesterday. I have some idea, but not gona say I have a full understanding of it.

Are you familiar with top gun? or at the very least, Danger Zone by Kenny loggins?

[jerry.zhou4]

No just finish the vanilla game play through last Friday, and just start to work on modding this game.
