Shadylurker Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I was hunting around for a program like falcons weapon delivery planner, that doesn't exist for DCS :( This is almost mandatory IMO as going into the mission planner and doing it yourself is horrendous. It would be great if DCS just automatically updated your in game kneeboard with a mission data card with WP time, heading, alt, Airport frequencies, Awacs, ect. It already draws the Waypoints so It's getting this data from somewhere. It needs to be expanded. I don't want to fly marking my kneeboard in aircraft like the Mig21. I know I can already tune all this stuff in myself, it's just time consuming going into the planner and trying to figure it all out.

Nate--IRL-- Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Expand on the weapon Delivery planner. What does it offer, how does it do things better etc? I'm not going to say yes everything it offers will be implemented, but if there are good ideas to consider then they are worth sharing. If you have the time, go into detail, or even layout step by step a sample mission planning session.

Nate Thanks for the response nate, I don't really care about most of it's features, I simply want this Filled out like this On the in game kneeboard The number 1 thing I want on there in game is the navigation data with hdg, distance, speed, and time. Maybe a snapshot of the re arm panel showing what stores are loaded, or just text. again, I'm not concerned about the weapons delivery planning stuff. I figure since the map is already displayed with waypoints, it's half way there. Now give me the text on a mission data card:D It could be generalized too, Or each aircraft could have it's own card made out for it and a .lua can tell the game what parameters go where. The ultimate would be all fields filled out automatically from what is in the mission planner. And an option to export the kneeboard on another monitor (which may already exist) at a size I deem worthy. Thinking deeper. The game should be able to correlate the aircrafts assigned frequencies (ex mig 21 radio) and produce a radio channel for the Take off action, and landing action. Maybe figure out which friendly airbase is closest to the attack point and put it under alternate airbase then do the same thing for its radio/nav freq. It should be able to run through the Mission planner and take the wp # or name, times, hdgs, and alt, and shuffle it all onto the card along with radio beacons and settings for the in game nav instruments...ect ect. ect.
