Integrating custom/user missions for download from within DCS?

[TheCabal]

Hello folks,

 

wouldn't it be cool to check for user missions/campaigns from within DCS incl. some filter options? Would be a nice feature.

 

Greetings,

Would be quite nice to have the 'User Files' section of the main site integrated into DCS itself for missions & skins.

Oh sure, I was suggesting long ago there could be some kind of a resource pack system, submodules with skins and stuff mainly to perhaps lower the size of the install, storage is skyrocketing so I guess it may not be that important anymore but so will the textures as things will move to even greated PBR with HDR and WCG.

 

That idea was based on selectively/optionally downloading the rest of the module's liveries apart from the default primary one which would be tied to the module, while as in multiplayer or singleplayer if the one client does not have the skin the other client has chosen on his aircraft, it'll just use a replacement on the first client's end, while notifications and asterixes in servery lobby or scoreboards "TopGunFighter (Livery Missing)" or some suffix after the nickname or something would be added, but this is just a rough idea.

 

Then user generated submodules could be added to that perhaps,after going through approval of standards, requirements, quality check etc.
