DCS needs a save game feature

[Nooch]

I think it would be very handy to have the ability to save flights in order to come back and finish them later. Right now there is no good way of doing it. I believe you can save a track file, play it until the near end and click "take control" but it's not convenient and often quite buggy. Plus you can't advance in a campaign that way, even if you complete the mission it won't count.

 

Some missions can take very long (3 hours or so) if you want to do them well. Especially the ones in the A-10C with the Comined Arms module, they can take ages to finish. And that's great, it goes to show how much you can do in this sim. Unfortunately without a proper save game feature it can become hard to finish the whole thing. Very often I find myself having to exit in the middle of the mission because there is no way I can spend that much time in a row.

 

So ED, please... :)

I agree completely

This is about the most important feature ED should add. Without it DCS is greatly limited in its appeal to players and what it's capable of as a sim.

And the game engine already has this ability since it can record and replay missions. All that's needed is a small fix.

 

In fact it may already be possible since there is a mod which can do this, it just lacks integration into a campaign GUI

Just allow a simple save and resume. Or auto save at mission points.

 

Completely crucial that ED add this. There isn't anything else more important.

I wish we get that also for CO-OP multiplayer. It would be really needed on larger scenarios.

Wow that’s fantastic if that’s what it is. I can’t test it now because my PC is out for repair.

We also need the mission planner to be available in multiplayer mode
