500 Missions for the Sabre

Hi everyone, long story short I made a thing that made 500 missions for the sabre.

The long story is here:

This could be an interesting flight!

The 'Interesting Flights' system is a generator of sort-of-random missions aimed at making sure you never have to fly the same mission twice. They are interesting because you don't know what's going to happen in them. Every mission is different. The flight plan for each mission is generated just for that mission. There is no combat but there IS scoring.

The flight plan is complete, well annotated, and can be found on your kneeboard. The aircraft radios have the required frequencies loaded.

Below you will find the download link, there are 100 missions in the 'annotated' directory. Their filename gives you some clues about what will happen during the mission (format explained in the post linked above). There are 400 missions in the 'interesting' directory, they don't tell you anything except their difficulty. The missions are for the Sabre.

The message linked above explains the system, its goals, and what you will find in each mission. It's fairly long! I hope you enjoy it.

Mission Briefing

Look at the weather forecast on your kneeboard, then checkout the flight plan details.

The aim of these missions is to get the aircraft safely back on the ground, sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard, sometimes you shouldn't even fly.

You'll get a higher score if you meet the take off and landing times shown in your flight plan. Down to the second.

Make sure there isn't anything wrong with your aircraft during startup.

You are not supposed to complete all the 'Interesting Flights', for many, you shouldn't even take off! A lot of the higher numbered flights are just not safe.

Make sure the weather and your aircraft are suitable. If not, download another flight. Or download a bunch of them in the first place so you can go trough them quickly.

There are plenty there, no reason to ever fly one twice. So don't, they are a lot more fun if you don't know what's going to happen.

During the flight you can use the 'F10' radio menu to find out:

• Your score for the mission so far.
  
• What you are expected to do next.
  
• Get a helping hand by seeing your ground speed and the elapsed mission time down to the second.
  

You will not experience or see any combat during this flight.

'Interesting Flights' uses the MOOSE scripting framework and Open Maps.

WHERE TO GET THE MISSIONS FROM

Please read the thread linked above if you don't know what this is all about! You can download the missions from a shared DropBox folder here:

That's awesome! I actually prefer random generated missions to the scripted ones sometimes.

Thank you! I really hope you enjoy these.

emolina, thanks for sharing these! Look forward to checking them out later tonight. Being not too enthused with the instant mission generator that comes with the game I'm curious to see what you've come up with.

Great! let me know what you think.

Wow. Just found this thread. As I play DCS solo, this is most welcome! I am often looking for more things to do. Thank you for sharing your efforts. I'm eager to check out these missions once I'm back home after the weekend.

The generated kneeboard pages are a wonderful addition! I find the kneeboard an excellent and immersive tool that is often under used.

Without even having tried a single one of your F-86 missions yet, I'm already wondering about the potential for expanding your tool for other modules - especially helicopters. Apart from my personal preferance for rotorcraft, helicopters would benefit from a wider range of mission types that cannot be auto-generated at the moment. Things like cargo pickup/delivery, SAR with radio tracking, recon (perhaps marking targets with smoke), etc.

Regardless, more missions for us single players makes the DCS experience much more rewarding! When you make your own and therefore know in advance what you need to do, immersion is lost.

Thanks again.

Thank you JLX! the Mig-15 will be next I think, I would like to add a lot of fixed-wing modules quickly before tackling helicopters because for helos I'll need to add Farps and that will take a little bit longer.

My biggest delay at the moment is that I need to know an aircraft well enough to work out what failures are realistic and what their effects should be.

That makes sense. I'm just encouraged that you are interested in expanding to other modules.

As mentioned, I fly mainly helos (Huey & Mi-8) and would be happy to help if/when the time comes if you'd find that beneficial.

Nice! Life got in the way and I've just started to sample these but will download the new ones. Really looking forward to some other planes being added, not that I don't like the Mig or Sabre but having just purchased the F-5 I've been spending more time with my latest toy. :D Great job, keep up the good work!

In summary though, two more flyable airports and tweaks to failure times, flight distances and the kneeboard.

Hi everyone, I've uploaded a new batch of missions for the Sabre, main changes are more interesting weather conditions and longer flights, you can read about the changes here : https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2912677&postcount=96
