python dcs mission framework

pydcs is a python framework for creating and editing mission files from digital combat simulator.

Possible use cases are:

• assisting mission creators
• random mission creation
• write an external mission editor on top of it
• data export from existing missions
• ...

Sample

import dcs
m = dcs.Mission()

batumi = m.terrain.batumi()
batumi.set_blue()

usa = m.country("USA")
m.awacs_flight(
   usa, "AWACS", dcs.planes.E_3A,
   batumi, dcs.Point(batumi.position.x + 20000, batumi.position.y + 80000),
   race_distance=120 * 1000, heading=90)

m.save("sample.miz")

This code generates a mission with a AWACS flight starting cold from batumi.

Random mission scripts

pydcs comes with 2 proof of concept scripts:

dcs_random

This script generates a random training mission on the Nevada map: player flight(s) for the A-10C, M-2000C, Ka-50, AV-8B or F/A-18C at Nellis, Creech or Groom Lake, with AWACS, tankers and civil air traffic around them.

For options see the script help with dcs_random --help

This script randomly generates WWII dogfights with a given number of planes near a random airport. For options also see the script help dcs_dogfight_wwii --help
