Airfield and air traffic

[rokomah]

I really enjoy casual flights and other various training flights. I'm currently doing this at a no traffic airport and airspace around me. Sometimes I add an AI plane through the game editor, but it's still boring and empty.  I would love to combine my flights with any airbase traffic and other air traffic. It would be even better if some kind of AI air traffic control was added. Is there such a module? I don't want combat missions right now, just casual flights that I make myself in the editor.

You can download MAM and CAM, (Military/Civilan Aircraft Mod), and then use the RAT script, (Random Air Traffic), to achieve pretty much what you want. I'm not sure but I think DML. Cfrags's script package can do it as well.

If you have the F-16 by ED, you could have a look at the mission editor and see how the triggers work in the instant action missions that are included: they make the airfield feel more alive too, without a need for mods.

[rokomah]

Which instant action missions do you have in mind? Where do you find this? Yes, of course the F-16 has a module. But I can only choose:

- Instant action

- Quick action generator

- missions

I would be happy to customize an F16  instant action missions but I can't find it in the mission editor instant action missions.

Can you help me further? Thank you.

Sure but it will have to wait until tomorrow: I’m at work now

Perhaps ;

Mission Editor cannot load ED official missions directly.
Open two windows of Windows' Explorer application (or another filer app you like) , and open two folder paths ---
"your user Saves Games/ DCS/ Missions/" and "DCS installed folder/ Mods/ aircraft/ aircraft module name/ Missions/ QuickStart/ " ---
Copy some missions from DCS folder to your user folder.

Copied missions maybe loadable by Mission Editor.

Open the Mission Editor in DCS, browse to the F-16 folder -> Quickstart -> open any of the Caucasus IA missions, for example "F-16C - Caucasus - Takeoff.miz"
You can see the triggers are based on UNIT inside zone (player, [airfield name] ) and GROUP ACTIVATE (...)

Yes, it can. But you might have to save them in a different folder in case they open as "TempMission.miz". I open ED IA missions all the time in the ME to edit them to my liking, or to quickly change something without saving (for example in the various F-18 IA dogfight missions I change the F-18 to AI and the MiG-29 to player if I want to practice).
Or I change the F-16 to something else in one of the NTTR IA missions.

Why is it important that only at F1-16 ED? Other aircraft modules/AI missions are not so good ?

Personal preference: I find many F-16 IA missions to be particularly suited for training with various modules, if you swap out the F-16 with something else.

For example: there is a “defensive systems” IA mission in NTTR where you can activate various air defence units via F10 commands, so I found it to be quite useful to fly that as a MiG-29 so you can learn how the SPO-15 reacts to being engaged by particular SAMs.
