What should be a simple request

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I'm currently working (nearing completion) on a fairly complex DCS/FC2 mission, and it utilizes around 600 triggers, and 90 flags. Despite its complexity, it works fairly well, and I am still tweaking it. There is more I'd like to do with it, but I don't have enough remaining flags to do it. In general, there are some pretty complex things we could script into the game if we just had more flags. Will we be getting more than 100 flags in DCS A-10C? If not, this seems like it would be a simple thing to add.

 

Personally, I think that something like 10 kB of flags would be great, that's like 80,000 or so flags, and it's still just a tiny footprint on the hard drive. No, I don't think anyone would directly code 80,000 flags, but it would open up the door to automated scripts that directly edit the decompressed .miz files and do all the very tedious dirty work needed for adding things like artillery that starts shooting and stops shooting at certain times, units "fording" rivers, large numbers of random flights, ect. Currently we don't have enough flags to do such things in large scales, even if someone made a program that would add all the triggers and flags for you.
