 ### What is this?
-DCS Olympus is a mod for DCS World. It allows users to spawn, control, task, group, and remove units from a DCS World server using a real-time map interface, similarly to Real Time Strategy games. The user interface also provides useful informations units, like loadouts, fuel, tasking, and so on. In the future, more features for DCS World GCI and JTAC will be available.
+DCS: Olympus is a free and open-source mod for DCS that enables dynamic real-time control through a map interface. The user is able to spawn units/groups, deploy a variety of effects such as smoke, flares, or explosions, and waypoints/tasks can be given to AI units in real-time in a way similar to a classic RTS game. 
 
-### Features and how to use it
-- Spawn air and ground units, with preset loadouts
-    - Double click on the map to spawn a blue and red units, both in the air and in the ground, with preset loadouts for air-to-air or air-to-ground tasks;
-- Control units
-    - Select one ore more units to move them around. Hold down ctrl and click to create a route for the unit to follow;
-- Attack other units
-    - After selecting one ore more units, double click on another unit and select "Attack" to attack it, depending on the available weapons.
+Additionally Olympus is able to run several effects and unit behaviours beyond the core DCS offerings. This includes such things as napalm and white phosphosous explosions, or setting up AA units to fire at players and miss, and more.
+
+It even includes Red and Blue modes which limit your view and powers to just seeing what your coalition sees, with a spawning budget you could play against your friends even with no-one in the game piloting, or have a Red commander working against a squadron of blue pilots, and/or a blue commander working with them. 
+
+Even better it requires no client mods be installed if used on a server
+
+The full feature list is simply too long to enumerate in a short summary but needless to say Olympus offers up a lot of unique gameplay that has previously not existed, and enhances many other elements of DCS in exciting ways 
 
 ### Installing DCS Olympus
 A prebuilt installer will soon be released and available here
 
-### Building DCS Olympus
-DCS Olympus is comprised of two modules:
-
-A "core" c++ .dll module, which is run by DCS and exposes all the necessary data, and provides endpoints for commands from a REST server. A Visual Studio 2017/2019/2022 solution is provided, and requires no additional configuration. The core dll solution has two dependencies, both can be installed using vcpkg (https://vcpkg.io/en/getting-started.html):
-- cpprestsdk: `vcpkg install cpprestsdk:x64-windows`
-- geographiclib: `vcpkg install geographiclib:x64-windows`
-    
-    
-A "client" node.js typescript web app, which can be hosted on the server using express.js. A Visual Studio Code configuration is provided for debugging. The client requires node.js to be installed for building (https://nodejs.org/en/). After installing node.js, move in the client folder and run the following commands:
-- `npm install`
-- `npm -g install`
- 
- After installing all the necessary dependencies you can start a development server executing the *client/debug.bat* batch file, and visiting http:\\localhost:3000 with any modern browser (tested with updated Chrome, Firefox and Edge). However, it is highly suggested to simply run the `Launch Chrome against localhost` debug configuration in Visual Studio Code.
