AvgeekJoe Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Just wonder what folks think of my first mission up at https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3317671/, "A-10C Green Monster Anti-Ship Mission by josefk". Here's a screenshot that was just a little too big to include in the uploads: It's not going to be the only mission I'm going to post in user files and I can assure you some will be more complex than this one. Plus there will be an anti-ship mission that's going to be far more complex. With that, I invite your feedback and any questions please.

I might make one set of missions that only requires additional liveries, and then another set with real mods to the 9th degree for max realism. Would that work for you?

I play almost exclusively multiplayer these days, so I'm certainly not your main target audience. But from my point of view, any of that raises the bar. So before playing it, I have to like your mission enough to download and install at the very least a livery, and then possibly more mods for the mission to look nice. Back when I was doing more single player, I only did that for missions that came with strong recommendations or if I knew prior work from the same author. And even then I often skipped such missions. The real question is: do you need this stuff to tell an entertaining story and get the players engaged? If so, then that's the way it is, and you might miss out on a lot of players who never jump through the hoops and get it to run. If it's just bling-bling, a nice bit of good looks on the sidelines of a compelling mission, it might be worth getting rid of it and finding the most suitable in-game replacements, in order to get a larger player base, more feedback, and more recommendations for your missions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Jaw Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I don't take missions that need mods as it makes the install messy, and can be troublesome for online. But thanks. 3 "You see, IronHand is my thing" My specs: W10 Pro, I5/11600K o/c to 4800 @1.32v, 64 GB 3200 XML RAM, ASUS RTX3060ti/8GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgeekJoe Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Thanks @Yurgon, I'll definitely consider cutting back on the # of mods to just a few key liveries. Especially when I do COOP or other online missions. Half my problem is a certain A-10C Squadron - 190th - is not repped in the DCS World module. Welcome @Mower I hear you.
