This is a fun way to test out the basics, found out about BRS this morning. This made me for sure want to get the midway starter. My only gripe is there are advanced rule stuff in here but no rules to use them. Anyway thanks for a good, quality mod!

@Matias - when we shifted to the advantage stands that moved, instead of the tilting airplanes, we had to go back and render each of the aircraft with each version of the stand and then combine them all into a 3-state object, so you could select the advantage level, and then tie that to a pilot disc that was a 4-state object. If you are in the BRS Ready Room on FB, you could reach out to Steve Toth as he did the advantage stand modeling for us.

How did you make the advantage sticks attach to the planes? I'm pulling some airplane models from TTS Victory at Sea mods, but cant figure out how to detach/attach planes to those sticks?

@Ostoia - You are correct, the Expanded Rules book and the Scenario Book are not online in this setup or on the Warlord Games website. Unfortunately, Warlord Games was not willing to give us permission to put them on here for free.

So this only has basic rules? Are the rest of the rules and scenario setup is only available after actually purchasing the game? It does not seem that they can be bought for free in official site either, or am I missing something here?

@Stallheim - I have no idea what that game that comes from, but those animations look cool!

Bish - thanks for pinging on Warlord about it - that allows us to go back to them and ask for more aircraft cards in a larger release! (we'll send the email this week!)

So excited about an air combat game. Has anyone seen the official youtube tutorial put out by TTS that shows WWII planes firing and taking damage? What game is this? (time stamp starts at 0:14) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBchPGfyKos

I did as you suggested, here is the gist of the reply

"Thanks for getting in touch - I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying BRS on Tabletop Simulator, but we can't take any credit!
It's all being done by awesome folks in the community, and so I don't know what the future holds for it - I'm sure it will be expanded though, given how popular it's been!"

It seems like they are right behind you :)

We plan on releasing some more aircraft in our Malta map set here in a few days! We are also working with Warlord Games to get their approval for a wider variety of aircraft. If you enjpy playing BRS this way - go drop the Warlord team an email at info@warlordgames.com and let them know - and maybe they'll release more info to us, sooner!

Excellent Mod, thanks for making this.
Have you any plans to expand to cover different aircraft types?

Colliders have been updated to make the models, templates and stands all work better together, now!

Thanks for looking into it. I will give it a go next time I get a game in :)

Locked models - here is what is at work there. (At least based on my doing several tests locking different components down.) The aircraft stand is actually 3 linked models, the 3-state aircraft, the stand and the 6-state pilot skill base. Whichever component you lock is the one that holds the other three in place - so if you mouse over the stand and cannot unlock it - move down to where the base joins the skill disc and see if the *#/5 info appears and THEN try to unlock. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try another method!

Hey mate. great set up! Played a game last night. Noticed one bug. If we lock our pieces down to the table, they get stuck, and won't unlock. We ended up having to delete and replace those pieces. Thanks again for putting this together

We'll take a look at the performance issues - might be either the maxed out map resolution or the way we have built the models.

Doctrine, theater and ace cards will be coming soon, along with the templates.

Great work, will you add all the cards from the "starter"... doctrine, ace and so on.
will we see any expansions?

Nice mod, I do have some performance issues. My GPU is at 100% most of the time, no stuttering just throtled. No such issues with other mods, most are at 20-30% GPU. Not sure what's causing it but it may be worth checking out.

@Spanky UK - Thanks! It still has a long way to go!

Love it. Brilliant addition to TTS
