A few important notes about the mission: 1. You can safely switch out the F-16s for other fighter types. The script will still work. Just don't change the name or number of aircraft in the group. 2. Since this mission writes to the local drive you will need to comment out the sanitize lines in the MissionScripting.lua file. This is something that needs to be done for any script that does persistence/saves data. To do this find the file under Scripts in your DCS install folder. And then add two dashes/minus signs in front of the three sanitizeModule lines. It should look like this when you have it right: --sanitizeModule('os') --sanitizeModule('io') --sanitizeModule('lfs') 3. I don't receive notifications from comments in the ED files page. So if you need me to see something share it here please. 4. Download page: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3340802/

Such a great idea. Been a long time since DCS (switched to BMS), but if/when there's a switch back, will definitely be giving this a shot. Nice work Mike

This looks great! I will have to try it out! Please work with Reflected Simulations to make a full training campaign with missions like this!

Hey cool, thanks! .... Tho I'll have to change a flight or element of F-16's to F-15C's. .... Or play the red side in a Flanker.

This mission and the data it generates is going to be hugely beneficial to my team.
@lorenzobosi8650Күн бұрын
Fantastic tool! I guess it is more effective if flown by real players rather than AI in your flight, correct? Thank you Mike for yet another great contribution to the DCS players community 👍

This really helped me and my beta testers. We actually saw similar results to the real life USAF version.

The Ops Center is the best non-DCS DCS-channel on KZbin by huge margin. So many extremely interesting videos here, and this must be one of the best.

You know, a Discord channel where people that like these sorts of videos can find other people that like these sorts of videos would be very helpful. It is hard to find people that actually do training flights like you showcase rather than just say how great they are. Of course, managing a social media channel can be a huge headache and it may cause you to doubt humanity in general but if you were so inclined I think it would be a great resource.

You're right. It's a great goal, but time is my most limited resource right now.

Even real world fighter pilots found they had room for improvement in the scenario this is based on. So don't feel like you're doing something wrong. Just like with them practice will make you better. And you're very welcome. 😄

Can U fly it solo or with just 2 player?
@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom2 күн бұрын
You can fly solo or with up to three friends. Your choice. I highly recommend lowering the difficulty if going with less than 4.

@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyomКүн бұрын
This mission will let you fly it solo. But the real goal was to help people learn BVR as part of a team. If you can get a friend to join you I highly recommend flying it together. It's an incredibly satisfying experience to grow as a team.

Awesome! Is it possible to modify this mission to replace all the AI on the red side with humans?and to have a flexible number of players on each team?
@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom3 күн бұрын
I haven't tried it with red players. This was only tested with AI on the red side to match the USAF sim. You can give it a shot though. It might work.

How much is the code tied into aircraft type? I’m thinking of taking this and swapping in JF-17 for my squadron to use.
@Lorian6673 күн бұрын
On a first glance at the scripts, nothing is tied to the aircraft type. You must keep the names though.

You can safely switch the human controlled planes to other airframes.

Just switch the planes out in the mission editor. Its not that hard.

As mentioned by Lorian, you can safely switch the human controlled planes to other models. F-16s were used to match the USAF's sim.

Should you be learning how to build and program the actual software for the simulation? It seems to me the training is not there for the next generation. Nor the advance US STEM degrees...must have been outsource to another country like CHINA and etc...
