More Single Player Missions

[Freakmeister51]

Please can we have so single player missions. I know there are missions/campaigns in the user files and I appreciate that but why have the dev bought in an aircraft and absolutely nothing to go with it?

I know preferences vary from person to person, but the ME gives you unlimited content in DCS. I haven't actually played any of the official content for any module because of the ME and I never consider what content is available for a given module because of that.

The ME will take some time to learn, but making small missions is pretty simple. DCS also gives you tool to randomize missions so that even if you make them, you don't necessarily know what will happen when you fly them.

In the longer term ED is working on a Dynamic Campaign to produce content automatically. There is a very very simple version of this already available in the Fast Mission Generator.

I know there will be jokes made, but it's a really good question. I'm sure a lot of people just look at DCS as a place to blow stuff up, but with the flight modeling and systems modeling being so good it also has a lot of potential as a flight game without combat. We will have to wait and see what the DC will ultimately end up being but if it's really good it should offer the ability to generate non combat missions as well as combat ones. Or perhaps more low intensity stuff where something like a Yak could fit in and not be totally overwhelmed by cutting edge SAM's, etc.

If the DC is only able to provide straight forward strike or CAP missions that users can then edit further, it will have done its job and that's fine. I'm holding out for the possibility that it can do more and maybe even orchestrate things like communication between AI units and players (imagine if it was smart enough to automatically create F10 radio options for example). Maybe those things are out of a scope, but if ED can figure out how to include them it would solidify the DC as the core of DCS content for all modules.

Thanks for your comment. I’m doing my best to learn about making my own missions, watching YouTube videos and the like but I do feel that ED could make more of an effort to provide a few of their own just to make the module a little more attractive. They might even get more interest for that particular module. The L-39 is another such module. Just my opinion.
