Not dogging the GR squad at all, love your work, but I'm really surprised it took you so long to find Liberation. We've been flying Liberation since early 1.0 version but haven't opened it in several months. It's amazing how much progress Khopa has made! The GUI is awesome and now he's added the AI assist options. Well done sir!

[@Eagle01ph]

For the folks with lower PC specs. Make sure to use culling and for the Starting Money, limit it down to around half. To avoid having too many active units right at the start.

[@tobur]

I can only recommend this for multiplayer of any size AND especially single player. You really get the feeling of an alive world around you. Edit: be sure to check out the latest update to ver 3.0

[@jeffreyc2074]

Love Liberation! Been using it for quite some time. It's sure evolved a lot! Using the C-130 mod to do a base capture is a fun tactic with a unique challenge. Interesting how you said you had no interest in single player, whereas I have no interest in multi player. :P

[@taidean]

Thanks for the guide. Quick and easy :) To add to this, I let the AI take care of selecting the aircraft's and I went to see why I didn't have any Harriers or A-10s and come to find out that the AI spent most of the budget on 20 F-15E and 10 -F15C , 4 Tomcats and 4 F-18s lol. Silly AI.

[@eraserlaser]

Pretty good selection of fighters tbf

[@handsomechocolatebar276]

I love the custom kneeboard generation, really makes it feel like a real mission in a campaign even though everything around you is happening dynamically

[@crunchieRL]

What a great tool! - Campaigns just like F22 Total Air War from DiD in the 90s.

[@Lorian667]

We use this as a COOP Campaign in our clan every week with about 10 pilots. Its great fun! Also: this weekend a new Version of Liberation will come out with some really big improvements! And many things you might want to show are not valid anymore then!

[@grimreapers]

thx

I'm loving the Liberation Campaign :-)

[@Manu-rb6eo]

Persian gulf and Syria a mre my favorite maps for these campaigns 😉

[@Tareezo]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! :) I've installed and got it running on my standalone server, and my friends and I will test it out tonight. Much excite! Looks soo good.

[@djviperx]

Cap! I would really love that you guys run a dynamic campaign in a form of "episodes", similar to the format you have for your other missions, but what is fun about this, is that any of you will know exactly where is what, so it will require coordination and care, and for me it sounds it will be really intense, fun and awesome to watch! Also Khoppa updated it to version 3.0 few days ago, have a look because there have been quite a lot of changes, including better UI and the possibility to drag and move the waypoints!

[@grimreapers]

the cool thing about this is we can SHARE the Liberation files with you guys, so you can review EXACTLY what we are doing

[@matthewbonnet4402]

Definitely recommend pulling the newer builds, 2.5 is great, but the work they've put in towards 3.0 already is amazing.

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@Mich_Angel]

This is awesome, going to have a lot a fun with this. What amazing work, thank you for showing this. Have a great one, CHEERS!

[@BryanDenham]

thanks for the help with the Liberation Mod .

[@thekorb100]

Wow gotta download this

[@CameTo]

I occasionally play single player on this, and want to warn people 3 things. 1) Do read that important pop-up, coz it relates to people hacking your computer! 2) don't fall into the trap of trying to recreate that big complex war theatre. It will let you, and after everything's done and you goto fight, it WILL LAG even on a top end gaming rig. 3) It's a lot of fun, because there is now a reason to stay alive/win, beyond scorewhoring. Props to the relevant dev(s) on this.

[@montys420-]

Reapers campaign against a well organized and tactically minded AI enemy will be awesome to watch!

[@Nightflyer23]

The funny thing is the Mission Planer works exactly like in Falcon BMS. I think they where inspired by BMS cause its perfect for Mission Planning

[@bladerunner9995]

You are wonderful human beings, thank you 😊

[@JD96893]

very cool!!! Now i just need a GPU to run DCS XD. I guess i'm better off waiting until servers implement this though.

[@MikeSwanberg]

Any chance you all could do a how-to video on DCS Multiplayer Servers? Like how to set Liberation up as multiplayer locally or in standalone (which is better and why?) and how to join, allow friends to join, etc.? Your great videos have gotten me to a point that I want to do some more advanced stuff in DCS. Thanks tons for all you all do!

[@shadowblaster124]

This is a fantastic tutorial video!

[@ashokiimc]

Hey cap I don’t know how to send viewer requests so just gonna put it here. So the request is. Put as many aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier as you can, make sure they’re facing the direction of travel of the carrier. Then put all of them in max AB but make sure they don’t move (if that’s possible) Would that increase the speed of the carrier?

[@grimreapers]

up got that one on the TO DO list :)

[@grimreapers]

yup

[@CommDante]

I don't think any of the brakes can handle AB, but 90% should be doable... obviously more thrust per plane might help? Quite interesting experiment.

[@Kleesmilie]

@@grimreapers Don’t forget that adding weight to an aircraft should increase its grip and as such the maximum thrust that doesn’t chunk you off the side of the deck, without affecting the carrier in a meaningful way.

[@LtDogoop]

Thanks!

[@grimreapers]

Thanks DOG xx

[@cbremer83]

This is pretty cool. But, I was hoping for a more Falcon 4.0 style dynamic campaign.

[@veespike]

DCS AI gets in the way of that. The Liberation devs are constantly hampered by what the AI will or won't do. Especially regarding the ground war.

[@therocinante3443]

@@veespike that is quite a shame.. hopefully ED will implement a dynamic campaign sooner than later

Cap.. do you still have a location to DL your throttle map when you had the X56 with the Wing wing... I do not have the Taurus yet only the Supra Libra with the X56 throttle.. thanks mate! update: is it the folder one step back? the files from 2019?

[@charlesbukowski9836]

@@grimreapers yes right.. Cap but I mean do you still have the list when you had the X56 throttle and the S LIbra? I would assume it is the folder that is one back from the wing wing libra Taurus page.. are the files from 2019 the ones with the S Libra and X56 throttle ... or maybe the 2019 is the X56 stick and throttle .. if that is the case, I could rip the 2019 files for just its throttle since its an X56

[@somerando8615]

So for system specs, how does a crowded liberation map compare to the average multiplayer server? If my computer can barely run Liberation's invasion of Syria can I handle going online in one of those cold war servers?

[@MarcReisSyllogism]

Dear Cap, are you planing on going into 6.0.0 any time? Also like to bump the idea of you guys using it in your "series/episodes" - thanks for this one by the way 🙂

[@grimreapers]

Yes it's on my TO DO list to cover the new version, just can't seem to get around to it.

[@MarcReisSyllogism]

@@grimreapers thanks and no problem, there is just so much to DCS you could spent all your free time on it and not leave the ground for a second!

[@KeithGadget]

Can I ask how it deals with the destruction of map objects? If strike a bridge or factory in turn 1, will that map object still be destroyed in turn 2, 3, etc? I’m on the stable release that doesn’t deal with the destruction of ground objects like the Beta at the moment

[@2Dark03]

Do you have to own all these vehicles to play them? And is there like a World War 2 version?

[@ringofdoubt]

Hey Cap! Can you do a video on making custom factions? I really want to do a campaign where Red only has SU-25’s and Blue only has A-10’s. I can’t figure out how to get the custom factions files to work once I edit and save them ☹️

[@grimreapers]

will investigate when I can.

[@albertopajuelomontes2066]

are you guys going to start any liberation campain on the future_for youtube?

[@grimreapers]

yup

[@malusignatius]

I wonder if you could set it up a 'start point' mission, so that certain events (eg. an opfor raid of something) are scripted, then have the campaign go dynamic from there?

[@intrepidus4743]

Can you make a video about the new version 5?

[@VideoUser3053]

Fascinating, how close is this to Falcon’s campaign engine?

[@grimreapers]

no idea sorry.

[@Farming-Technology]

Awesome, a GR tutorial without cap shouting over an engine! 😜

[@grimreapers]

Weird I know

[@mikekirk15]

When I load in a mission it freezes on the loading screen just after half way. I have tried this in the mission editor and I get the same result. I have also tried in multiplayer on a server and it loads into the mission and past the brief but everything is frozen when I spawn on the carrier. No idea how to fix it

[@pancakeoperator]

Sucks this videos going to be outdated real soon, could of waited till they released 3.0 right around the corner.

[@ThunderingVipers]

Is this super resource hungry? And can it be played as coop?

[@teapilas]

No and yes, i have been playing with a friend of mine and does not consume resources

[@ThunderingVipers]

@@teapilas I've tried it long ago on PG map and could not get more than 10 fps. 😂

[@LaCrepe_]

It's an external campaign generator. It's not running anything while you play the mission. It's counting the dead units when the mission is exited, so it shouldn't be consuming any resources at all

[@Lorian667]

There is a "culling " option, so that not everything on the map will be spawned, but only in a certain radius. This helps greatly regarding the FPS.

[@veespike]

The front end itself is not heavy at all. Once the mission is finalised and created, it just sits there waiting. The MISSIONS, on the other hand, can be very heavy. The missions can have a lot of things all going on, particularly on the ground, and that can get very intensive. Co-op is easy enough. You have to run a server, and there are a couple of things that are done a little differently as a result of that, but it works.

[@farinafranqui]

Every time I try to start the mission I get an error saying that there is an invalid frequency for the f-16???

[@hubertrybak]

Missing radio chatter in the background like it was in DiD EF200 or TAW. For me more important than nice clouds.
