Mission Generator still being used?

[tn_prvteye]

Does anyone still use the Generator for missions? I've been messing with the templates, and I'd like to add the Mig-21 and maybe a few others to the mix. Anyone know the steps?

 

I can add already existing Aircraft (like the Mig-31) because they have a loadout already defined, but I don't see one for the Mig-21.

 

I'm also trying to create a quick way to generate A2A missions. But only a few of the "Defensive" templates have fighter groups defined. Any quick way to add them using LUA files instead of having to do it all through the template editor?

 

Basically I'd just like to have a "Random" enemy fighter show up more often.

Ok, I've gotten a whole buncha new aircraft to show up. Mig-21s, Mig-23s, F-4Es, F-15Cs...I nice selection of targets now. :) I'm trying to recreate an 80's era scenario. I've changed loadouts to reflect that (no AMRAAMS or R-77s).

 

Now, does anyone know if I can ADD new mission types? Strike for instance? I'd like to add some Bears and B-52s, but I don't want them running CAS missions.

 

I also realize I'm probably the only person who does SP in DCS anymore, but what the hell. I figure someone out there might find this info useful... :)

Definitely keep it coming. I played with the MG a while back, and I was able to tweak activity levels, but never really dug deeply because of my real life schedule.

 

That said, the MG is the key to any 3rd party dynamic campaign engine, so the more info out there, the better. BTW, you can also create multiplayer missions with the MG; just convert player and certain AI to client and duplicate client groups with more than one aircraft in the flight.

I'm hoping someone smarter than me can do exactly just that (the 3rd party dynamic campaign that is).

 

It's pretty powerful, but limited at the same time. I can create templates that allow for A2A only...at any distance I want (by creating new nodes), or I can create a huge freakin' tank battle with no fighters in sight. BUT, I can't have anything too complex like specific escorts for CAS flights, or tankers (although that may be doable...I got the E-3 to show up doing AWACS).

 

By limiting the templates used by these new nodes, one could theoretically create a campaign...maybe. Again, that would require someone with much more skill than I at LUA scripting.
