- This program generates scramble missions for Microprose/SH Fleet Defender.
- It can be run by typing "scramble" and copying down the information (drag),
- or by typing "scramble > prn" which will send the information to your printer
- (assuming of course that you have a printer on line). This is a quick & dirty
- program that I wrote primarily for my own use, and thought other tomcat
- drivers might like to use.
-
- You will find that on average dawn, day, and dusk missions are generated
- about 86% of the time: night missions about 14% of the time. The probability
- of dawn, day or dusk missions are equal (about 0.28).
-
- I've tried to not let the allies have too much of an advantage (you will never
- outnumber the enemy). On the other hand, they shouldn't outnumber your side
- by more than 2 to 1. Also, there will never be more than about an 8,000 ft
- difference in starting altitude for the two sides. (Try a mission when you
- are separated by 39,000 ft to find out why). All other selections are
- uniformly distributed among the possible choices. Of course, the computer
- seems to have a mind of its own... The two times that F-16's were selected out
- of about a dozen runs, they were piloted by Ace's.
-
- Enjoy.
