Ugh, why do I have to bet sick again?
Read new update/progress on DCS' New Dynamic Campaign System, nice! :
The DCS Dynamic Campaign (DCSDC) has been a massive undertaking, but we are making steady progress in both the strategic and tactical elements. Here is an outline of our development tasks.
- Work continues to configure ground AI forces command and control. There are three main systems: The border and frontline system, navigation based on terrain and surface-type, and a multi-level formation system. These are combined into one code for the final fine-tuning of ground combat. The decision-making system for ground force objectives is being tested and refined as a function of force size, unit locations, and the general objectives of the coalitions.
- To improve ground forces movement calculations, a mechanism was created for the DCSDC engine that optimally analyses routes between points, whilst taking into consideration roads, terrain, and potential travel speeds across different types of surfaces. A navigation mesh editor is also being developed to allow campaign creators to modify old terrains to suit their needs. We believe these components can be applied not only within Dynamic Campaigns, but also for non-dynamic DCS missions and campaigns.
- Testing of the integrated air force ‘command and control’ of DCSDC into DCS continues This includes both the creation and functioning of the missions and optimization of different mission task flight profiles. Looking ahead, there will be tests made for all components of the strategic AI troop control and player participation.
- Testing of Dynamic Campaigns has resulted in a new tracking system that allows a detailed accounting of actions and behaviours. This is critical to the debugging process of such a complex task. The current DCS track file system has also been expanded with the ability to store RTS layer information. The resulting systems will allow you to review campaign events and provide a DCSDC active save system. This active save system will allow you to resume saved games and rewind time to replay an unsuccessful episode of a campaign.
Finally the weekend, but need to get over this sinus infection.
The recently released Kingdom Hearts Steam PC version is selling really well afterburning its rank from 399 to no 3 best selling game in June 2024, US market lol. SE should release Tifa PLOT II PC version on steam already! dang it!
new DCS F/A -18 Hornet story campaign, Operation Mountain Breeze in Syria. Niiiice!
Syrian Civil War between the rebels and the Syrian government forces continue intensely. The involvement of several foreign powers, ISIS, and Hezbollah in the conflicts further escalates tensions. The tension among major superpowers is also on the rise. However, civilians suffer the most. Millions have been forced to leave their destroyed homes. Civilian targets are constantly under bombardment. The USS Theodore Roosevelt, with its Strike Group, is on its way to the region with the aim of establishing a no-fly zone over the western parts of Syria to prevent attacks on civilians.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
Weekend went ultra-fast, hate that its Monday tomorrow.
DCS Iran's IRGC Infantry soldier with MANPADS 3d character model just received thicker beard lol. MANPADS soldiers are just annoying they can popup out of nowhere and fire Infrared Missiles at you when flying at low altitudes like when doing Strafing Gun attack runs, or when bombing ground targets at low altitudes. Though The F/A - 18 Hornet can take MANPAD missile hit, if your main fuel tank that got hit by a MANPAD missile, you are still screwed. Though it's not easy to get hit there.
