DieHard Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I am learning the Mi-8 currently. In the DCS opening screen, "Instant Action" has a Cold Start mission sortie to work with. I wanted a night version of this mission to investigate how the various lighting systems function. So I played around with Cold Start day-time mission in the Mission Editor and figured out how to set it to start at 2300 hours. Then I added this modification to the Mi-8's QuickStart Missions listings. It functions just fine, no big deal. But I wanted to add this night-time version to the "Instant Action" menu. I have wondered how to do this for some time. I have been with DCS since the Warthog's first non-beta release. I had no idea how to do this. I did some searches in the DCS World directory without any luck. I did a search of this topic in this forum with no luck. Almost posted an inquiry here to ask how this is done. The last second before almost posting it, I looked again in the QuickStart folder in the DCS World sub-directory path and I saw the "quickstart.lua" file. I opened it with Notepad++ and there it was, the solution. I just copied the programming format by typing the necessary language and added the new mission. It works great. I am very newbie into the Mission Editor editing process and related infrastructure concerning things related to the subject. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
