Now this is turn 02, you should be able to see some messages about reinforcement received in the info panel :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Also make sure to save your game regularly.

# War on the ground
|
||||
|
||||
The goal in the campaign is to capture all the ennemy points, to do so, you will have to :
|
||||
|
||||
* Help your ground units progress to the ennemy bases.
|
||||
* Destroy enemy aircraft
|
||||
* Destroy enemy building (they produce more units)
|
||||
* Destroy enemy air defense
|
||||
|
||||
... and so on
|
||||
|
||||
On the map, you can the frontline between Kobuleti and Senaki is active.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So our units from Kobuleti, will have to make progress toward Senaki. By default your ground units will adopt a defensive stance and wait for the enemy, if you want them to progress to the enemy points, you have to set their combat strategy in the base menu :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Here they are set to "aggresive", so they will attack the ennemy base "Senaki"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Starting the first mission
|
||||
|
||||
Click on the proceed button in top right corner of the app, to open the mission planner.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In the mission planner, you can see the list of mission that DCS Liberation has automatically generated for each airbase.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to join one of these mission.
|
||||
|
||||
Put a client slot for you in the flight you choosed.
|
||||
|
||||
(A client slot is a player slot, and other planes will be automatically occupied by AI)
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to set the time of departure to 'T + 0', So that you can start immediatly (Otherwise you will get the 'Your flight is delayed message and you will have to wait in DCS')
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then click on take off to start the mission :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This window, will appear, follow the instructions :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Do not close DCS Liberation.
|
||||
|
||||
And now launch DCS World, open the mission editor, and open the mission "liberation_nextturn" that should have been generated in the default mission folder :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And start the mission :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The mission briefing will contain informations about your flight :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you are prompted to choose a slot, pick the one you setup for you :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Play the mission, here this was a BARCAP mission, so just fly through the configured waypoints and shoot down any enemy aircraft, then when satisfied, RTB (or you can just exit the mission).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy a complex semi dynamic combat environment :
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Once you exit the mission in DCS World, in DCS Liberation a mission result window will appear, click on Accept results and then OK to proceed to next turn.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then click on Okay
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on your results, the frontline will progress in your favor or not. HEre since we destroyed way more units than the enemy while on the offensive, we made significant progress toward Senaki !
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So repeat until the end of the war ! Have fun playing DCS Liberation !
|
||||
|
||||
More tutorials will come about how to set up SEAD, STRIKE and CAS mission, but this is already possible in the DCS Liberation mission planner if you play around with it;

Now that you're on turn 1, you should see some messages about reinforcements and mission planning in the info panel at the bottom of the screen:
|

|
||||
|
||||
## War on the ground
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of the campaign is to capture all the enemy control points. To do so, you will need to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Help your ground units progress to the enemy bases.
|
||||
* Destroy enemy aircraft.
|
||||
* Destroy enemy buildings (they provide the enemy with income).
|
||||
* Destroy enemy air defenses.
|
||||
|
||||
On the map, you can the frontline between Gudata and Sochi Adler is active.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ground units purchased at Gudata will be positioned along this front line. By default your ground units will adopt a defensive stance and wait for the enemy. To push toward Sochi, set their stance in the Ground Forces HQ (discussed in the previous tutorial)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
See the [Front line stances guide](https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/wiki/Frontline-Strategies-Stances) for a description of each stance.
|
||||
|
||||
# Adding player slots
|
||||
|
||||
Planning your own missions is covered in the next tutorial, but you still need to choose a flight to play as. This is done by adding "client slots" to a flight.
|
||||
|
||||
To add a client slot, choose a package in the Air Tasking Order (ATO) panel on the left, and then double click the group you want to fly. In this example I've selected a BARCAP flight protecting Gudata.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Click the up arrow next to the client slot count to add a slot for a player.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After closing this window, the UI will update to account for the player slot. Because players cannot start most aircraft in under a minute like the AI does, adding cold start client slots may cause the flight's mission start time to change, possibly to a time before the start of the game, as seen below.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can either automatically resolve this when launching the mission, or double click the package in the panel above the flight and adjust the package's time-over-target (TOT). This is discussed further in the next tutorial. For now, just click the "ASAP" button so we can take off as soon as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Generating the mission
|
||||
|
||||
Click on take off to start the mission:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It may take some time to generate the mission. When complete, a window will appear with more instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not close this Window until your mission is complete. Generated missions are only valid for as long as this window is open.** If you need to make changes to your plan, close the window, make your changes, and then press take off again. **You will need to load the newly generated mission.**
|
||||
|
||||
If the window does not appear, check the command prompt window that opened with Liberation and look for error messages in the log. You will likely need to [file a bug](https://github.com/Khopa/dcs_liberation/issues).
|
||||
|
||||
## Launching the mission
|
||||
|
||||
Launch DCS World, open the mission editor, and open the mission `liberation_nextturn` that should have been generated in the default mission folder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Start the mission.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The mission briefing will contain information about your flight.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you are prompted to choose a slot, pick the one you setup for you. If there is only one slot available (and no Combined Arms mission commander) it will be chosen automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Play the mission. Most of the information you will need to complete your mission is present in the kneeboard (right shift K by default, use `[`] and `]` to change pages).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This was a BARCAP mission, so follow your flight plan to the mission location and then orbit between the two race track points (waypoints 1 and 2 in this case) until the departure time (17:51:53 local). Once complete, RTB and close the mission.
|
||||
|
||||
## Submitting mission results
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** This section was written for an older version of DCS Liberation. The text is accurate, but the screenshots are out of date.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you exit the mission in DCS World, in DCS Liberation a mission result window will appear, click on Accept results and then OK to proceed to next turn.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then click on Okay
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on your results, the frontline will progress in your favor or not. Here since we destroyed way more units than the enemy while on the offensive, we made significant progress toward Senaki!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now repeat until the end of the war! Have fun playing DCS Liberation!
