Multiplayer campaigns

[markturner1960]

There are lots of great single player campaigns, but none I have found that allow Co-op play, so you can fly with a single or few friends.......why is this? and do any content creators intend to offer this going forwards?

Because DCS doesn't support it. Reflected made a video or statement or something about it.
DCS supports MP/co-op missions out of the box of course. But not the scripts/audio transmissions etc.

OK, that is interesting, thanks...I am curious as to how and why this is difficult, from a mission building perspective......when you build a mission with triggers and scripts they work for multiple different objects and you can have co op missions with scripts and triggers....whats different with a campaign?

It's probably something fundamental with the engine and how it deals with campaigns. It has been requested many times. I guess it has to do with only on person being able to be player while all others are clients. It could probably be doable for player/client in the same aircraft, while impossible with multiple aircraft, unless all are in the trigger zone all the time. Just imagine players all over the place multiplied...

What do you fly, @MAXsenna?

There are MP/coop "campaigns" out there in user files for Hornet, Apache and Kiowa.

There are limitations to what can be done with some minor mission immersion triggers, however there are no fundamental blockers to creating compelling MP campaign content.
