Video introduction how to

[BlacleyCole]

I’ve seen several training/campaign introduction mission use like a track video to introduce the pilot to the theater, training, campaign, etc.

 

How is this done?

Although it's way above my level of simple mission building, the missions you refer to are built with triggers, voice recordings, AI aircraft units, and based upon progress and time in the mission, the triggers present the information as part of the mission design. There usually aren't any threats in your flight plan and you simply fly the waypoints and get the mission done.

 

 

You might want to dissect one of the missions. For example, I have the F-15C Red Flag Campaign and mission one is an orientation ride of the Red Flag Range. I found that mission in files under "Game Drive"\DCSWord OpenBeta\Mods\campaigns\DCS NTTR F-15C Red Flag Campaign\EN and the file is RF-F15-MSN-01.miz and I have opened many SP missions like this and changed the "Player" and AI Wingman Aircraft to all Clients so me and 3 of my buddies can fly the mission in Multiplayer. It works great!

 

 

Editing and dissecting these types of mission files is a good way to learn how they are made and eventually, you'll be able to build your own like them from scratch. Be sure to Save AS and put it in your my missions folder under a recognizable name different than the original file. If you accidentally overwrite the original file, you can run repair dcs or verify game cache in STEAM and fix it.

 

 

PM me if I can help further,
