LouP73 Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 Not seeing how to do that. When I open the mission editor, a lot of options are not available.
LouP73 Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 If I do it at the start by pressing the "edit" button next to "Allied Groups", the only option available to me is "air"

LouP73 Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 I don't have the f-16, I was trying it out with the F15C and the P51. Neither would work for me. Can't put the thing on the ground. I tried dragging it to an airport on the map and that didn't work, either. This is not good. Don't become another MSFS, I thought I got away from that mess. OK, just tried again with the P51 and it worked. I think I borked my dcs trying so hard to get it to work. 1
LouP73 Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 Just test the FW190A8 and that works, also. I'll go back and try the F15C again to see if it works better now.
LouP73 Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 I think it's the mission type that's driving this as it doesn't work with the f15 and there are only air battle missions available for that aircraft. Doing some more testing. BTW, thanks for the help. 1
ED Team NineLine Posted May 22 ED Team Posted May 22 Yes, it is the mission type that decides this, in order to make a quick dogfight mission having the player start from the ground would not be ideal for example. With a stationary target such as for ground attack, it makes more sense. Because the F-15C doesn't have any sort of ground capabilities, it has no mission for ground start.

western_JPN Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Start from the ground is not suitable for "Dogfight" or "BVR" missions, I see. How about "Bomber Intercept" ?

BluesRocket Posted May 22 Posted May 22 I really like the concept improvement from Quick Mission. But I think giving a uniform approach to missions equally across the modules would have been nice. As indicated above, bomber intercept on scramble makes perfect sense for the F-15C. Let the USER decide the mission. Why write code to limit this? Still, I like using the QAG to create missions when learning a new airframe, so it will get a LOT of use from me... 1 Alienware Aurora R16, i9-14900KF, Crucial Pro RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 5600MHz, NVidia 4080 Super with 16GB, 2TB SSD (Windows 11) and 2TB SSD (DCS) Alienware 34" Curved QD OLED Gaming Monitor AW3423DW Meta Quest 3 for VR with Virtual Desktop via AXE5400 router VKB Gladiator NXT EVO SCE right hand, VKB Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle left hand, VKB pedals HF8 Gaming Pad with SimShaker for Aviators

LouP73 Posted May 24 Author Posted May 24 I think all that is needed is another category like "free flight" so you can load any aircraft from any start point for practice or just cruising. LouP 1

LouP Most aircraft come with free flight missions on most maps, they are also incredibly easy to create, I don't think a Mission Generator is needed for such a mission. Also, you can do this with the Generator in most cases by deleting the targets, for example: null Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
LouP73 Posted May 24 Author Posted May 24 Agree but just thinking out loud as way to free this up a bit. I do like the "scramble" option suggestion. I'm still learning this stuff as I just started in with DCS a couple weeks ago. Didn't realize how much I missed the combat flight sim before I started. Moved on to regular flight sims years ago but glad I got DCS and came back. LouP

LouP Well welcome aboard, I will raise the idea of free flight with the team, the more I think about it the more it might be interesting. We are also looking at transport missions and others, so keep the suggestions coming! 2 1 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
Dracopov Posted May 25 Posted May 25 (edited) This mode has fewer opportunities than the previous one, please restore the possibility of choosing the take-off point for all planes and also the possibility of flying alone without a wingman. It is also slower to prepare the mission having to reload in several cases. Edited May 25 by Dracopov 1

The first mission I generated the wingman crashed every time on startup, positioned too close to a hill, so I ended up lane anyway! I tried it again today and even not changing maps, the regeneration for changing targets took ages, so it isn’t just changing maps that makes it slow.
