enigma6584 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Not a question but just a thank you to the people at Eagle Dynamics etc., for this wonderful tool and gift in the mission editor to be able to create "static templates" for mission creation. The ability for me to make an airport look like it is being used and then save that airport for use in other missions is phenomenally helpful. I've been working on templates for almost every airport, at least major ones I like to use and the fact that I don't have to redo this time and time again just makes me cry with joy. :smilewink: Mission making is so much faster and creative now only having to concentrate on actual AI stuff and not worry about whether an airport or target area looks real and immersive enough. Again, thank you to whomever at ED for creating this. :thumbup: Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf8312 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Can I use these static templates only work on the same map? Like I can’t make one in the Persian gulf and transfer it over to the Caucasus? ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Can I use these static templates only work on the same map? Like I can’t make one in the Persian gulf and transfer it over to the Caucasus?Yes, it is map dependant, as DCS used its internal coordinate system to place the units. But you can load the templates into other missions...

Mission making is so much faster and creative now only having to concentrate on actual AI stuff and not worry about whether an airport or target area looks real and immersive enough. Again, thank you to whomever at ED for creating this. :thumbup: I fully agree, this feature alone makes much easier to re-use edits on other missions, so it pays to put extra effort on these re-usable items. If someone from ED is reading this, may I suggest that Trigger-zones be added to the supported items of Static Templates?

Chief Instructor Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Is it possible to use templates for aircraft carrier configurations too? I spend ages populating the deck with static aircraft ETC but can't find a way of using it again in another mission. It takes ages each time!

wrl11 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Is it possible to use templates for aircraft carrier configurations too? I spend ages populating the deck with static aircraft ETC but can't find a way of using it again in another mission. It takes ages each time! I agree this is super helpful! Yes, I use it for a template for my Stennis Battle Group, where I can save all the ships, waypoints, all the statics (including Navy Deck crew mod placements), tankers, awacs etc in one template, so when I make a mission I can start with that. Super time saver. 1st vAEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
