I think this campaign is really not performance friendly and should be
marked as a 3/3. It is the first campaign on the list and quite a few
new players pick it as their first one and then struggle with
performance issues. Framerate on this campaign is quite a bit lower than
on many of the other 2/3 campaigns, on account of the large number of
aircraft and very heavy SAM coverage.
This updates all ten of my campaigns with the improvements I made for
the Retribution versions. There are Retribution-specific units and
trigger zones in the miz templates, but I've tested them and they don't
appear to cause any issues (since Liberation will just ignore the
unknown units and trigger zones). This will make things easier for me in
the future, because then I don't have to maintain two separate sets of
the same campaign files.
The changes include a total redo of supply routes for better convoy
on-road pathing, as well as a balance pass for squadron distribution and
strength.
I have also made a slight edit to one of my faction files to fix a typo.
This is a (potentially) temporary modification for Exercise Bright Star
that moves one of its squadrons to Hatzerim and disables the other two.
The reason is because Nevatim is currently bugged and only 11 out of its
120 airfield parking spots are usable. You can place aircraft into the
other parking spots in the mission editor but they will all explode upon
entering the mission.
Campaign update of Falcon Went over the Mountain (Syria map) to v11.0
1. Added squadron sizes
2. Rebalanced scenario
3. Added (non zero) heading to all SAM and EWR sites
Now that the F-15E Suite 4+ has JDAMs and the bug preventing AI from
using LGBs has been fixed, I have removed the AI-only F-15Es from my
campaigns. Also minor tweaks to a couple of squadron types/sizes based
on play-testing results.
This fixes a map object strike target (yes, just one. Fortunately!) that
was broken by the latest DCS open beta update that removed the buildings
the strike target was using.
The old mode where squadrons started empty and had no size limit is
going away.
I bumped the campaign versions for the ones that claimed support and
tested a handful. All of Fuzzle's campaigns actually had the wrong
version in the yaml. They claim support for this but none that I tested
actually fit within the limits (despite having sizes defined). Either it
was supposed to be 10.7, or maybe the airports lost some parking.
I had asked Khopa for permission to edit two of his campaigns to fix
some issues. Only the YAMLs have been edited, .miz files did not need
changes. I have tested both YAMLs to make sure campaigns will generate.
Also tested generating turn 1 .miz and ran it in DCS.
Golan Heights:
1. Removed the 2 problematic squadrons from Marj Ruhayyil that were
causing aircraft losses due to larger aircraft sizes not fitting at that
airfield (which is intended for helicopters).
2. Implemented squadron limits.
Caen to Evreux:
1. Re-arranged squadrons for better force distribution and revised
primary and secondary mission types for better default play experience.
2. Implemented squadron limits.
