Open up mission types to either all planes or more planes in custom faction

SwirlyCactus opened this issue · comments

Love the work, fun app to use. My only real complaint or suggestion is opening up the different mission types for all planes, especially considering the pay for each module aspect of DCS. Some players don't have every module in the game. In fact, a few of the friends I fly with only have 1 or 2.

For instance, I love flying my F5e with friends because they are easy, and after work we can do some sorties with minimal brain power. Using the DCC app though, the mission types are very limited for the F5e. I understand wanting realistic parameters (for example not doing CAP missions in an A-10) but the F5e has strike capabilities yet can not be setup for strike missions currently in DCC.
Now I'm trying to go through a early cold war scenario and the F5 in particular seems to have drawn the short straw in DCC, as it is relegated to only being able to do CAP. I have multiple modules so I can make it work by flying my F1 or A4 for those missions, but that's not the point. If the F5 was my only paid module I probably wouldn't use DCC.

DEAD type missions for example only have a handful of modules listed in them. I own the a10 from FC3 that could be used for a cold war type plane, but as I have literally never even opened that module I'd have to keybind and learn how to fly it in order to do DEAD mission types.

I had a great time going through the campaign in my F16 because of mission variety. I liked being able to use one plane in different roles and take advantage of the different systems on it.

My suggestion would be to either open up all planes to all mission types that make any kind of sense (maybe even behind an "advanced options" button) or at least open them up for most of multirole aircraft. I don't expect to do CSAR or AWACS in my F5, but DEAD, Strike, CAS could all be realistic enough options for any of the aircraft that carry bombs or rockets and were used for any groundwork IRL.

Thank you!
