One landmark to another, back into the ME and switch, and back to flying where I left off. As you said, takes seconds. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

dief47 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 In this video is shown, how to place an aircraft on an airfield. Maybe you can use this is a start. It's really simple to place an aircraft on any airfield, add some waypoints and land on an other airfield. The video is in german, but maybe it's helpful watching it. I'm sure, there are other videos out there in english. Maybe some one has a link to a good, simple tutorial video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it is certainly not a big problem not to have freeflight missions right from the start, but to be fair, such missions are more than placing a single aircraft in a map. Self designed missions don't have surprises, or "wow-moments". Especialy those with only one aircraft are not vivid. I don't think the OP means that one can't place a plane and some waypoints in ME. Freeflight missions for me are more than that. I obviously can wait some weeks for a new map's missions, but I would appreciate to klick on a freeflight mission for new maps, start on a crowded air base and have some aircraft in the air, that I don't have set there myself knowing exactly what the are going to do. So if the question is: Are freeflight missions critical for a (EA) map? I'd say no. Are they a good way to start with a new map or a new aircraft: It is definitly a YES for me.

Beirut Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 The Mission Editor is one of the best things about DCS. I make 99.99% of my flights in the ME. I can't stand flying boxed missions. I want my flight to be MY flight. Open the ME, spend 30 seconds making your own flight, and you're off. And it's addictive. After you start making your own flights, boxed flights will look like stale donuts. And not even good stale donuts, but the really bad donuts; evil, crumbly, and full of negativity. Make your own flights. 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the features and landscapes aren´t done. Sure, I´d also like a nice sightseeing mission, but I´m very much ok with it if they do that last, when everything else on the map is finished. Calling the developers lazy is really inappropriate in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
