Mission Generator
The Mission Generator (MG) is a new feature to the DCS series that allows players to generate a mission with a single click of the mouse. The MG is based on combination of 100 locations around the Black Sea map that can be populated with a series of various force templates with multiple variables that ensure a massive number of possible missions and replayability.
For those that want to tune the missions, options to sel ect difficulty, season, weather, time, size of forces can be set fr om the MG window.
Users can also use the MG system to create their own battle locations nodes and force templates.
