Individual missions

[RimanDk]

Given the format of the campaign and the nomenclature used (Mission 2.a, etc), I was hoping that each exercise would be re-playable from the campaign mission select menu. Unfortunately, they are not and only the "top" mission file in the stack is shown and re-playable. That means, if I want to practice a particular exercise, I have to go through all of what came before first.

I get the "you can never get too good at x and y..." argument, but when time is limited and the mission/file structure seems to support this...

If I were to copy the individual mission files from the campaign folder into the Missions folder, would I not be able to load and play each "subsection" of the mission (each exercise) separately? Would it break anything? Would I be doing something "wrong"? Are there any particular drawbacks in doing this?

Thanks in advance.

It's easier to just open the mission from the Mission Editor, like this (don't have that Campaign yet, but the idea is the same):

 

 

This way you wont be duplicating files nor run the mission from a different folder than the designer intended. You can't make any edits to the mission, just run it.

I believe you can quickly "skip" through the list, and then select them individually.

Let me copy my answer from a different thread:

That's a really good question! If you fail a mission (don't complete) and you exit, the DCS campaign engine won't let you pick up from the last phase you started. It's too simplistic for that.

BUT: you can always go to the campaign's folder, open the mission (exercise) you last started, and go from there. Once you complete, you go to the DCS campaign menu and skip the mission to get to the next one.

I never really cared about campaign scores, the results that matter are your grades, but you'll get them anyway, and you record those outside of DCS in your excel.

Perfect! Thank you!
