Requirements to unlock planes (Games : Vector Thrust : Forum : General Discussion : Requirements to unlock planes) Locked

Now that Vector Thrust is released in Early Access, I guess it's time for game guides, perhaps starting with how to unlock each plane in the game?

Before that, I say a picture of the family tree layout is required - ideally also showing where one family tree unlocks another.

And after that, a list of planes you can't currently unlock by normal means.

Challenges can be very tough. For bombing and ground attack missions, try executing diving attacks on your ground targets to maximise your accuracy.

The Analog branch of the Mig-21 family is the bane of my existence. Running out of rockets on the last target is excruciating. The dispersion on the rockets is stultifying.

^Yeah that challenge is rough, it would be doable if you are just given stupid amounts of ammo though.

Has anyone else been able to unlock variants of the Jaguar or F-15? Or variants of the F-117 beyond the Hopeless diamond? The challenges for them won't appear for me

Nope. I just cheated every plane to be auto-unlocked, of course.

...Guess I will do that too

You can see what challenges are there in the challenges folder. A lot can't be unlocked now by normal means.

How did you do that?

Go into objects -> airplanes, find the folder for the aircraft you want, open it up and then open up the ini file for the aircraft, find the line start_locked=true and change true to false.

Looks like I'll have to use the cheat method as well, since I couldn't unlock the other F-117 or F-15 variants...

Just open up the challenges folder to see what aircraft have challenges.

Not a very big list at the moment, unfortunately.

Has anyone figured out how the F-104 ASA/M challenge works? I want to finish the Starfighter tree and have been stuck at that and the F-104 CCV forever.

Winning conditions are 20 enemy targets.

Hmm... I tried yesterday and went over 20 without triggering mission clear.

I've had the same issue, mission fails when you destroy all ships
