It is an external program that generates full and complex DCS missions and manage a persistent combat environment. ![Screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/315852/120939254-0b4a9f80-c6cc-11eb-82f5-ce3f8d714bfe.png) -DCS Retribution will rely heavily on Liberation in the near future, -and possibly in a more distant future as well since Retribution will attempt -to stay backwards compatible for as long as possible. Therefore, +DCS Retribution is still relying on Liberation for certain updates, +and will possibly stay that way in a more distant future. Therefore, the patreon link will keep pointing to [Khopa's](https://github.com/Khopa) account until further notice. +However, we are no longer backwards compatible with Liberation, and will no longer attempt to do so. -Currently, Retribution supports the following new features: - * A livery selector in the air wing configuration dialog - * Support for campaigns with quad-point triggers - * Support for the F-15D 'Baz' mod - * Support for the Su-30 mod - * Elementary end-game mechanics - * Variation in flight-size for BAI/ANTISHIP/DEAD/STRIKE main flight (randomize 2/3/4-ships) - * More performance options - * Various bug-fixes (including a fix for the zombie carrier) - * And more... (See [changelog](https://github.com/dcs-retribution/dcs-retribution/blob/main/changelog.md)) +Instead, we are focussing on keeping our campaigns forward compatible so that you as a user +can continue on whatever campaign you had going on. +Please keep in mind that once you save a campaign that was started +in a previous (save-compatibility breaking) build, your save file +will have been migrated and thus no longer compatible with the previous build. +Therefore, we recommend backing up your saves and perhaps organizing them by version/build number. + +For a more complete overview of our features, check the +[changelog](https://github.com/dcs-retribution/dcs-retribution/blob/main/changelog.md). ## Downloads @@ -43,11 +44,16 @@ To download preview builds of the next version of DCS Retribution, see https://g ## DCS bugs -These DCS bugs prevent us from improving AI behavior.
