I don't know if this has been discussed before but I thought I would throw it out there for consideration. Many times when I'm not at home (where my DCS flight sim equipment is) and I have some free time (like on a lunch break at work) I wish I had access to just the "Mission Editor" program. it would be nice to just sit and create a mission, save it, and then transfer it to my gaming pc when I got home to fly the mission. I don't want to install the entire DCS program just to use the mission editor portion of the program, it's to big. If you release a Mission Editor Only program it would be considerably smaller program, making it easier to put on a laptop or somthing. I have no idea if this is possible. I guess if enough folks like the idea, where there is a will there's a way. I was just wondering if this has ever been talked about and if it's possible? Thank you for your time in reading this suggestion and I appreciate all you folks do. Thank you!

Hello E.D. First I'm grateful for all you do so, Thank you! The last discussion I saw on this topic was back in 2019 and someone from ED said they were working on it. I wanted to keep this request refreshed. Well it's 2025 and was hoping for an update on when can we expect for this to be improved. Seems to me we should be able to see objects at a minimum of 300ft AGL and should be bright enough to be able to clearly know what your looking at. It would be nice to have it work to even 400ft AGL but I'll take what we can get. So ED, can we get this back on the books to fix here sooner rather than later?? It's been 6 years after all since this was brought up as an issue. Respectfully, Thank you again

True, ATC would be nice but I think in the mean time it would be good to have ATIS and squawk code and the rest of it. I worked for over a decade as an airport operations specialist at an airfield that had both Civilian and Military operations. I'm very accustom to moving around airfields, getting on and off TWY's and RWY's. etc. Military aircraft do indeed get assigned squawk codes. But I think a great example of what I'm talking about for a deeper experience is the youtube audio called "Night Mission Vietnam: Manual 77" Cant listen to that without getting sucked in.

Hello DCS world, I'm sure this has already been a topic before and I know ED is probably being pulled in so many different direction that only Stretch Armstrong can cope but I wanted to make sure this topic doesn't fall by the wayside and add my vote (if it matters). I love DCS and my strongest thanks and gratitude to ED for binging this experience to the gaming world. I'm to old to have any realistic ambitions to becoming a real fighter pilot which is why I'm grateful for DCS being a really good study sim. I enjoy learning about aircraft systems and subsystems, going through real procedures that we can find in the actual NATOPS manuals. Although, I wish the radio communications as a whole were improved to add a deeper emersion into the sim. Usually a pilots gets their altimeter setting before he/she ever leave the parking spot by listening to ATIS. Also being able to choose a runway that you want to use when conditions allow and ATC would give better taxi instructions like "Hold short RWY 28L at Whiskey and contact TWR for departure". Sometimes I have to be across the RWY hold short line before TWR acknowledges me. Also getting and using squawk codes is an essential part of a pilots daily life. I'm not a gaming programmer and I have a lot of respect for those that can do it. I'm sure it's no small task to revamp the core of the game to improve and add additional comm features. but as a wish list item I think its defiantly worth keeping at the forefront of your development plan. There's a great deal of folks that play other sims just to have that particular emersion experience. With respects, thank you for listening. ASH-CAN
