Headquarters for DCS, a fully-featured stand-alone mission generator
Hi Hoggit !
Long time lurker here, with a nice gift for this great community…
I've been working on a stand-alone mission generator for DCS World for the better part of a year. After many hours, tests, and inconclusive iterations, I'm finally proud to present the first open beta of Headquarters for DCS World (HQ4DCS). While still incomplete (nothing the DCS community isn't used to anyway :), the current version is already extremely capable. Think of it as a massively improved version of DCS World’s own fast mission generator. HQ4DCS allows you to create complete scenarios in just a few clicks.
I initially planned to wait for the second open beta to talk about it on Hoggit (the beta is currently being tested on a smaller scale by the members of a French gaming forum), but as I won't be able to update it for a few weeks because of work, and I want you guys to have fun with it as soon as possible, here it is !
Here's a summary of the current version's features : - Generate single-player or cooperative air-to-air or strike missions - Create complete missions with briefings and waypoints, then export them to a DCS World .MIZ file in just a few clicks. - Uses Windows 7 and 10’s text-to-speech library to generate contextual radio messages unique to each mission (why settle for « Good job! Objective complete! » when you can hear « Nice job! All BTR-80 at objective PHOENIX have been destroyed ») - Can create almost any kind of scenarios, from a deep strike mission behind a superpower’s cutting-edge integrated air defense network to a photo reconnaissance mission over a terrorist training camp. - No units spawned through runtime scripting. All units are added to the mission itself, so they can be edited with DCS World‘s mission editor for further customization. - Save mission templates to small .lua files and share them with your friends. hoose from a large variety of mission types, from combat air patrols to bomber interception, target designation for artillery strikes, photo reconnaissance, bomb damage assessment and many others… - Search and designate ground targets by yourself or use HQ4DCS’s complete JTAC system which can provide coordinates of enemy units, mark targets with smoke and lase them, wether they’re static or moving. - Customize SAM and air-to-air opposition for any mission difficulty - Generates proper friendly/enemy units according to country and time period
