Larzei Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) My flight group exclusively fly online together on private servers and we make our own missions and fly some of those from the user files. However we are not professional mission makers and the quality on the uploaded ones can vary a lot. We would definatley pay for COOP campaigns with 2-5 clients from some of the serious campaigns makers around here. To this point I have not seen any of the released campaigns that are COOP. Is there a technical reason for this or is there just not a market for it? If a COOP campaign is created it would be nice to be able to choose the amount of clients you need before purchase, and the end price is based on that. Maybe a discount can added depending on how many clients you choose. For example the price with 2 clients is 25$, 3 clients 30$, and 5 clients 40$. Then only one of our group member would need to purchase the campaign and the rest could join in on his multiplayer server. The creator is also getting paid for the number of people flying it. What do you think? Would love to hear the opinion from some campaigns creators also! Edited June 4, 2023 by Larzei 1 A-4E, F-5, F-18, F-16, UH-1H, KA-50

Yes, it's a technical limitation.DCS does not support story driven multiplayer campaigns.Many have wished for it though.I disagree about the pricing, as that would be another technical nightmare to support for the devs.It would be so much easier if everyone just purchased a single player campaign, that supported multi player.I understand what you mean though.Maybe it would be feasible for less story driven ones.Cheers!

twistking Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 yeah, that payment method seems unnecessarily complex. everyone just buying a license for themselfes would be much more straightforward and easier to implement. the issue holding it back, is that DCS does not support DRM for multiplayer unfortunately. the clients do not need the mission file to join a server, so at the moment there would be no way to check if clients actually hold a license for the content. i would surely enjoy some high quality, paid scenarios or mini campaigns for small group coop... 1 My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
Larzei Posted June 4, 2023 Author Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the answers. Let's hope something happens with this in the future. It looks to me like the multiplayer/coop flying is becoming more and more popular now than it used to be in the old days of DCS. I think you are right about the payment also, buying an individual license would be easier. Edited June 4, 2023 by Larzei 2 A-4E, F-5, F-18, F-16, UH-1H, KA-50
