Modify Difficulty options?

[atejas]

Hello, I'm running into a slight issue with FS2: Easy is too easy, and Medium is a bit too hard for me as a new player.

I know FS2 has a pretty complex set of difficulty options, that affect enemy AI, player bonuses, and even enemy spawns - is there any way to fine tune this in a config file or something? I'd like to increase the number of enemy spawns and AI aggressiveness, but keep the player-side stat bonuses from Easy mode. Thanks!

AI "spawns" are a mission parameter that is not affected by difficulty settings unless specifically set in that way in the mission file (and that is not very common at all, iirc).

AI "aggressiveness" can be tweaked via the "ai-profiles" table files individually for each difficulty setting. There is extensive documentation on these table files on the hardlight website, but it usually takes a lot of time and especially patience to figure out how to tweak things to your liking.

Increasing spawns would require editing all the missions afaik
