Tool for mission planning for DCS
Just $ yarn / npm install.
This assumes recent Node.js and either Yarn (1) or NPM is present.
Then open index.html in www directory. No webserver is necessary.
There is also live demo on http://zdenekhruska.cz/fp. You can load one of demo mission via UI or you can upload one of these.
Upload .miz file here or load one of hardcoded saved demo states.
Changes are saved automatically in browser and loaded on next page load.
Date/time and weather information is visible in top bar. Mission start time can be edited here.
In top right corner you can select which units you want to use.
Each playable fligth from mission will get table with basic info and waypoints table. Headings and distances are calculated from waypoints coordinates in mission.
Used units can be changed per flight. This is useful, when there are mixed planes with NATO and metric instruments in one mission and you want each flight to have navigation data in their native units.
This can be used to set how much preparation/startup/taxi time each flight needs from mission start to take off. This will push waypoints times to more realistic/achievable values. By default DCS assumes, that players will take off immediately after mission start and ignores any time needed for startup/taxi in waypoints ETA calculations.
You can highlight waypoint by clicking on its number.
This is for another usage of preparation time function. You can add or remove preparation time to synchronize/coordinate ETAs of different flights on initial points or targets. Highlighting helps with spoting correct times in a sea of numbers.
