The MOOSE framework come delivered in one lua file. There are two versions of this file, but with different file sizes.

  • Moose.lua (with comments, larger file) ... For mission designers, who are developing missions and want to check upon errors appearing in the dcs.log or have a detailed code reference etc.

  • Moose_.lua (without comments, smaller file) ... For runtime environments, to facilitate quicker downloads of mission files and performance.

You can download the files in the Downloads section below.
To use, include the Moose.lua in your .miz file using a DO SCRIPT Trigger. Mission Designers need to read here for a detailed usage description. Consult the MOOSE documentation for further details on the framework.

1. RANGE Practice

...

The RANGE class enables easy set up of bombing and strafing ranges within DCS World.

Implementation is based on the Simple Range Script by Ciribob, which itself was motivated by a script by SNAFU see here.

476th - Air Weapons Range Objects mod is highly recommended for this class.

Features

  • Impact points of bombs, rockets and missils are recorded and distance to closest range target is measured and reported to the player.
  • Number of hits on strafing passes are counted and reported. Also the percentage of hits w.r.t fired shots is evaluated.
  • Results of all bombing and strafing runs are stored and top 10 results can be displayed.
  • Range targets can be marked by smoke.
  • Range can be illuminated by illumination bombs for night practices.
  • Bomb, rocket and missile impact points can be marked by smoke.
  • Direct hits on targets can trigger flares.
  • Smoke and flare colors can be adjusted for each player via radio menu.
  • Range information and weather report at the range can be reported via radio menu.

2. Zone Capturing

...

Models the process to capture a Zone for a Coalition, which is guarded by another Coalition.

This is a powerful concept that allows to create very dynamic missions based on the different state transitions of various zones.

Models the possible state transitions between Guarded, Attacked, Empty and Captured states. A zone has an owning coalition, that means that at a specific point in time, a zone can be owned by the red or blue coalition.

The Zone can be in the state Guarded by the owning coalition, which is the coalition that initially occupies the zone with units of its coalition. Once units of an other coalition are entering the Zone, the state will change to Attacked. As long as these units remain in the zone, the state keeps set to Attacked. When all units are destroyed in the Zone, the state will change to Empty, which expresses that the Zone is empty, and can be captured. When units of the other coalition are in the Zone, and no other units of the owning coalition is in the Zone, the Zone is captured, and its state will change to Captured.

3. ATC Operations

...

The ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS class monitors the speed of the airplanes at the airbase during taxi.
The pilots may not drive faster than the maximum speed for the airbase, or they will be despawned.

4. RAT

...

Lots of improvements on the RAT system.

The aim of the RAT class is to fill the empty DCS world with randomized air traffic and bring more life to your airports.

In particular, it is designed to spawn AI air units at random airports. These units will be assigned a random flight path to another random airport on the map.

Even the mission designer will not know where aircraft will be spawned and which route they follow.

Features

  • Very simple interface. Just one unit and two lines of Lua code needed to fill your map.
  • High degree of randomization. Aircraft will spawn at random airports, have random routes and random destinations.
  • Specific departure and/or destination airports can be chosen.
  • Departure and destination airports can be restricted by coalition.
  • Planes and helicopters supported. Helicopters can also be send to FARPs and ships.
  • Units can also be spawned in air within pre-defined zones of the map.
  • Aircraft will be removed when they arrive at their destination (or get stuck on the ground).
  • When a unit is removed a new unit with a different flight plan is respawned.
  • Aircraft can report their status during the route.
  • All of the above can be customized by the user if necessary.
  • All current (Caucasus, Nevada, Normandy) and future maps are supported.

The RAT class creates an entry in the F10 radio menu which allows to

  • Create new groups on-the-fly, i.e. at run time within the mission,
  • Destroy specific groups (e.g. if they get stuck or damaged and block a runway),
  • Request the status of all RAT aircraft or individual groups,
  • Place markers at waypoints on the F10 map for each group.

Note that by its very nature, this class is suited best for civil or transport aircraft. However, it also works perfectly fine for military aircraft of any kind.

5. User Sounds

A simple class for the Management of DCS User Sounds.

6. User Flags

A simple class for the Management of DCS User Flags, which are set within the Mission Editor.
