DCS Mission Editor Tutorial for Beginners - Series Intro

  • Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
  • Mission editing in DCS can be difficult to get into and get the basics down - so I wanted to make a series that does just that. We are not doing any complex fancy scripting and you have no need for any coding or other knowledge... Just a bit of logic, a desire to be creative and some time to do it.
    Future episodes will go through different aspects of the editor in more detail, but this first intro will get all the basics down and leave you with a mission that works and can be played.

    This is probably the 10th tutorial on the mission editor I have watched since downloading DCS a few months ago. While their are some good ones, many are too advanced. The teacher assumes we know more than I actually do. Take for instance the ground track of your Red tank. When it got to the last waypoint, the teacher would say "and then just link the last point with a command to restart". Well...how? You actually took the time to explain how. Little things like that are just invaluable. That's worth a like and sub and a lot more of your videos to watch!

    That middle mouse click to get the distance and angle is the most useful thing ever.. 🤣 been doing missions for a while but never knew that shortcut..thanks a whole lot and keep up the good work.. love the tutorial series.. regards from Malaysia

    OMG bto, thanks so much for this. I've been watching videos for 3 days trying to get a handle on the basics. Yours got way more granular with the details. I'm about to go try to make a functional mission now. Thanks again

    I know this is over a year old, but hoping you can get back to me regarding this.
    not sure if this is a bug or not or if I'm just doing something wrong.
    I'm trying to get some cinematic shots for a video I'm making.
    The shot is I want an AI F18 to pass half way over the carrier deck and than break off. with me in another F18 for the side angle shot of him breaking off.
    I set three way points, one right where the break is to happen, one to the left, and another one further down.
    all way points are set to flyover, even when i have it selected for turning point, either or, the AI breaks before even getting to the carrier and want's to land despite I've given no instruction in the way points in the mission editor to do so.
    Again this a bug or just something I'm doing wrong?

    I cannot wait for the day when triggers benefit from AI. If it takes all this for only e trigger. I cannot imagine building triggers and tasks for many objects in a much larger mission. This kind of IF-THEN-ELSE approach is way to computer programmer centric.

    • @DCSDigitalCombatSimulator

      You need to own the module(s) in question in order to be able to fly them as player. I should have made this more clear at some point, at least now you know

    Hi guys, I’m struggling to create a simple take off, add wayPoints and land, no enemies just a straightforward take off fly a couple of waypoints and land ! Sounds simple hey ,
    I’ve watched all the videos and created waypoints and made the last waypoint a landing but for some reason my HUD doesn’t direct me to the waypoints in fact sometimes the distance increases etc
    Any help for an old obviously stupid guy would be fantastic.
    1) For example I add the plane to the base
    2) find a place on the map - left click and add turning point
    3) add another WP
    4) add a landing WP
    But it’s just not working for some reason
    HELP PLEASE.

    This great. Used it to make a mission for an A4 last year. But has something changed? I switched my A4 to an f-18c(lot 20) (I own the f-18 module) and selected 'player', but when I 'Fly' the mission I don't spawn in my plane, I'm floating above the red base I set up as a target. Does anyone know what is wrong?

    • @DCSDigitalCombatSimulator
      @DCSDigitalCombatSimulator  Рік тому +1

      It's possible you set up some sort of delay for the plane (for example late activation, or a set time)
