WHY PLAY TTI AND HOW IT WORKS:

1. FLY AND ENJOY ALL DCS MODULES WITH PROPER MISSIONS FOR EACH AIRFRAME TYPE. - NO NEED TO SWITCH OR LOAD INTO MISSION FILES TO FLY OTHER AIRCRAFT OR FOCUS ON ANOTHER COMBAT SCENARIO.
    
2. CUSTOMIZABLE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR OWN ENJOYMENT - Fly it your way, adjust settings for difficulty, immersion or for fun extreme scenarios! Change various settings that affect your living and breathing air combat arena of operations.
    
3. CHOOSE BETWEEN SEVERAL ERAS OF WAR TO EXPERIENCE AERIAL COMBAT THROUGH PAST AND PRESENT
    
4. CHOOSE ANY MISSION TYPE TO BE GENERATED
    
   - This mission can generate a WIDE VARIETY of mission scenarios.
    
   - Ground missions are generated in a random location on the map, with a random pool of units, and placed in different positions within the mission zone. Each ground mission generation will be completely different every time one is generated.
    
   - There are many potential areas for ground missions that utilize the majority of the map, you'll be able to explore many areas of the map for a wide variety of terrain challenges and experiences.
    
   - Air missions will generate a random flight of enemy bandits. The airframe, of the bandits will be random. Their initial spawn point will be random. Their altitude, waypoints and waypoint altitude will be randomized every time as well. A simple yet very comprehensive dynamic A2A mission generator makes for an amazing and unpredictable A2A experience! Choose from a variety of A2A difficulties as well.
    
5. You can switch (pause, choose slot) to change aircraft at ANY TIME without having to quit the mission to reload a new one!
    
   You'll never need to create your own scenarios (too predictable) again!
    
6. Amazing Auto-lasing JTACs will designate targets for you without any interaction menu fumbling (no 9-line, readback, buggy comms) Other scripts include CSAR (helo search and rescue) CTLD (helo menu for crates/building/sling loading) and an AWACs reporter to help you locate bandits.
    
7. The highly dynamic mission generation engine of this mission is FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE. You can edit mission spawns to your liking, disable or enable auto-spawning missions/a2a ai/random air traffic, and you can even customize the amount and types of ground targets at mission zones!
    
8. The mission is ENDLESS. Repeat or do new missions as long as you'd like.

• Wide variety of aircraft to choose from
• Choose between several eras of war

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Modules and add-on compatibility:

All DCS modules, both fixed and rotary wing are available to fly and operate in TTI. Since the mission era/time period can be changed as desired, this gives any and all modules a compatible mission combat environment.

WW2 Asset Pack is optionally supported. If you own the WW2 Asset Pack, you can enable these units to fully experience and utilize them however you'd like.

You can optionally add your own client slots for co-op, they can be modded add-on aircraft as well. Please read our guides for more detail.

Mission Types:

Air to Air - Spawns a dynamically created enemy element flight. Choose between different difficulties.

It is advised to spawn one at a time, and only spawn new A2A missions when one is complete.

Air to Ground  - The mission will dynamically generate ground targets in a random location. There are several difficulties to choose from:

HARD - SAMs may be present.
EASY (Multirole) - No SAMs will be present.

Sweet!

Thanks again for all your work! 

[Chicki]

Man, that's fast service fishes.  I thought it'd be at least......two weeks!  Thanks!

[sirrah]

I @deadlyfishes, It's been a while since I last played TTI, so perhaps this has- been the case for long time, but did you purposely set the mission date to 1984?

Upon mission loading, it says something in terms of "mission era set to modern". I understand this has an influence on the type of assets being loaded. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but with the mission date set to 1984, GPS INS alignment isn't possible. Took me a while to figure out why my Apache INS alignment never finished.

I don't believe I did that intentionally, looks like it was set for that by default. I'll make sure this mission and others are set to a later date. My TTI Caucasus date was set to 6/1/2011, so that should work then?

Update October 26, 2023 - 1: TTI SP v2.4.8a

• JTAC/AFAC Drones will now prioritize air defenses before targeting armor, then soft targets, then finally infantry.
   
• Option added for JTAC/AFAC Drones to prioritize air defenses or to choose targets at random. Prioritizing air defenses is the default setting.
   
• Extended the F10 Other - Menu options for JTAC/AFAC target status by adding options for the time to display the status pop-up, similar to the active target location options.
   
• Fixed an issue in the Caucasus mission where some F10 - Other menu options were duplicated and caused spawning issues.
   
• Added method within the RAT.lua to change whether certain RAT spawns start on runway, hot or cold on ramp. These options are not exposed in the mission settings, but can be changed in the lua for ease of future updates for the mission designer.
   
• Cleaned up the startup script and settings text and consolidated to a single text box. This status message can be disabled in the mission settings. Additionally, you can see the script and startup status of the mission via the F10. Other Misc Mission Tools and Utils Menu.
   
• Fixed an issue (DCS 2.9 OB) where kill messages were being triggered by A2G units hitting a player

Update November 18, 2023 - 1: TTI SP v2.4.9a

• Ensure compatibility with DCS Open Beta DCS 2.9.1.48111 or later:
  https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/openbeta/2.9.1.48111/

• Fixed many script errors relating to CTLD, CSAR, Tanker Spawns and other core scripts relating to DCS Engine Update. Please ensure that you do not use any DCS Open Beta version earlier than DCS Open Beta DCS 2.9.1.48111 which was released on November 11, 2023.

• Fixed an issue where some MISSION ERAs and WW2 Asset Pack were not working, causing script errors on some maps.
   
• Skynet IADs now has a proper Red EW to ensure working Skynet IAD SAMs.
   
• Added an option to load/read mission settings from local files on your PC, that do not require re-saving or re-loading scripts into the mission via the editor. This is not the default behavior, you must change this in the DEFINE MISSION LOAD SETTINGS in the MISSION EDITOR first. See documentation and included text file for details.

[HungryCoyote]

When installing, where do the "TTI SP - (Optional) Expansion Scripts" and "TTI SP Mission Settings" folders go?

[Chicki]

Hey DF.  I'm using the TTI SP Mission Settings (via Local PC Script Files) setup. It was working great. After todays update, I get an error message. Any idea what it means? Something about one of the lua's it doesn't like I think. Thanks.

See attached--

 

 

[Steel Jaw]

Cheers

[Chicki]

Hey guys.  Figured it out.  Forgot to re enable "persistence".  Sorry.  Retard factor too high.

Update March 17, 2024 - 1: TTI SP v2.4.9f

• Changed despawn logic of friendly BLUE AI aircraft. Carrier type aircraft despawn quicker than other airframe types to ensure that carrier decks are not blocked when AI are busy doing launch and recovery.
   
• Updated text readme and online documentation on how to get "load settings from saved games" to work.
   
• Fixed an issue where it was possible that Korean War and WW2 era aircraft would sometimes deploy modern countermeasures.
   
• Fixed an issue where friendly A2A spawns TO PLAYER location did not have a working waypoint for the AI or map marker.
   
• Fixed an issue with spawning SMERCH units that caused an error.
   
• Fixed an issue with spawning BLUE TRAINER AIRCRAFT units that caused an error.
   
• Fixed an issue where CONVOY INTEL would always display when asking for single mission intel of another type
   
• Fixed an issue where mission settings were not showing the correct setting for JTAC drones.
   
• Fixed an issue where ground units requesting air support/CAS messages would not go on cooldown sometimes and constantly spam.
   
• Add new artillery units to spawning pools and database: red_arty_hlb8m1 and red_arty_ttb8m1 (Insurgent trucks with B8M1 80mm launchers)
   
• Add new AAA flak units to spawning pools and database: red_aa_aaa_s60, red_aa_aaa_ks19, red_aa_aaa_firecan_son9
• Changed TTI Settings default in editor and in scripts to improve performance for defaults.
   
• Changed default enemy A2A spawning pools, removing most US fighters spawning as enemy A2A.
   
• Add options for CTLD/CSAR to start on mission load, will wait for player to spawn in helo first by default
   
• Using MOOSE CSAR now, which has the same functionality as before with a few more quality of life improvements, such as downed pilots will now run towards your helo if you are able to land nearby
   
• Add radio menu option to FLARE DESIGNATE active ground and/or ship convoy missions.
   
• Add new options to change the number of units in enemy ship and ground convoys
   
• Removed a dependency on carrier spawn so that certain mods do not break loading the mission scripts. Note that mods that break carrier spawns will still have broken carriers regardless of DCS mission. This is for those who choose to continue to use these mods and do not intend to use carriers. A message will warn about this, and can still pop-up if the carriers were accidentally removed or renamed in the mission editor.
   
• Added text file with recommended settings to improve performance.
