Neutral side

So...

 

neutral side countries are not available for editing a mission in the ME.

 

i dont know if this is reported, or what...but I thought it could be interesting the comment.

You've never been able to place units to neutral countries. You can spawn them via scripting but its more of a hack around it where they will appear as the same color as your own coalition. It has generally just acted as a filter for which countries can have units placed.

I thought i even used the neutral side... my memory betrayed me and created some "new" memories.

 

in any case, that would be a good addition i guess.

If you place such a unit via scripting who will attack it (as in who is it friendly toward)

Was possible a veeery long time ago, before DCS World 1.2 if I remember correct.

 

It should not be too hard for ED to add the logic for another or even multiple coalitions.

 

A neutral as in "not engaged by any side" aka "civilian" coaltition opens sooo much room for mission design. :notworthy:

+1 to that shagrat , a neutral side would be great , could have some air liners

Both. Again I tested this a LONG time ago. I don't know how it currently works.

Multiple sides and neutral would be even better, it's asymmetrical warfare so there may be lots of groups fighting each other

This has been asked many times in several threads and I really really hope ED would at least acknowledge if multiple coalitions would be implemented in the future or not.

This option would make for such a diverse new setup in missions, that it would be a complete game changer.

 

E.g. Think of multiple squadron matches, where for instance 6 different factions would be fighting for control. Would be awesome to have in DCS.
