There: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/162712-dce-campaigns/Based on MBOT's originals. They don't exactly have the depth of Falcon campaign, but still pretty fun to play with a track of your progress, and can even be played in coop/pvp. I participated in testing some, and despite ED breaking things every other day had quite some fun doing so, thus in the end I created 3 of them (hot war in the cold" serie) with Cef/Miguel's technical great support (they're the real workforce). Installation is not exactly intuitive yet (read the installation pdf carefully), they require the use of an external DOS window too, but hey, it's free Have fun

There's a good amount of user made missions and campaigns for the Hornet, even without the dynamic element I've found them to be pretty engaging. Re-running a mission is predictable as you might imagine, but I've been having a good bit of fun with it!
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein

Re-running a mission is predictable as you might imagine Yep. One of the sections of any forum that would usually push to make a purchase...was reading a AAR from someone with screenies and action reports. If you have a look at the AAR section here at SimHQ...there are virtually no DCS AARs. Would you read an AAR of a mission that you already flew? Or that everyone has already flown? What would be the point? Most of the AARs here are from games with some sort of dynamic campaign. I took a look over at the DCS forums...I couldn't find an AAR section anywhere in their forums. I head on over to Mudspike to have a look at their AAR section...same thing as here. Pretty much zero DCS AARs. This coming from a site run by one of my favorite AAR guys...BeachAV8R. He sold more sims of different flavors to me with his AARs more than any developer promotional materials ever did. Yeah I get it...multiplayer is what drives a lot of folks...not my bag to rely on other people for my flight sim enjoyment though. I will keep an eye out for when (if) they finally get one done and maybe dust off the modules I bought and check it out. Until then...I'm playing more "immersive" sims/games. Peace!

Getting back into simming after a couple year break and I haven't bothered to re-install DCS...no point really. I know that Falcon BMS doesn't have the eye candy that DCS has...but it's still being actively worked on and is the most fully functional, immersive, dynamic, COMBAT flight sim you can fly for a modern jet at this moment.
Sadly...that statement will probably be true 10 years from now as well. Since ED started the DCS World module system, they have had almost a decade to get us a fully functional, feature rich, COMBAT experience with a lively and immersive battlefield/war situation. We have seen the statement that we need to be "patient" all the time. Well, after a decade many of us are tired of waiting and realize the half finished module system is here to stay while attention to the COMBAT experience gets left behind.
If you are after the "Cockpit" experience and like taking pretty screen shots...then DCS is the better choice. If you want to feel like a combat pilot in a war...then you have to look elsewhere for another decade or so until ED gets something put together IMO.
I consider myself lucky that I like flight sims from all eras...WW! thru modern...plenty of immersive options out there.

I find it perplexing that Eagle Dynamics completely ignores what has made Falcon 4.0 and all the modded versions so popular: A dynamic campaign. Falcon has longevity due to the campaign engine alone. Without this, BMS would likely not exist.
So knowing this, why do they still persist on a plane model, and not give the fan base what they want and deserve?
Their sales would increase, for starters, as would the series popularity--and that could lead to great things.

Ridiculous. To describe it as robbery is to make your point worthless and hyperbolic.

I have little interest in a dynamic campaign. I do want some improvements to the mission editor.

Ridiculous. To describe it as robbery is to make your point worthless and hyperbolic. To not design, develop and release a proper dynamic campaign for DCS after all these years makes ED worthless. There's no excuses for a lack of one. This is the one defining feature that the majority of players will benefit from.

True that I would get more with a dynamic campaign engine, but it's a long way from worthless. And, no matter how you lay it all out, none of it represents robbery According to a Q&A I saw last year, they are working on one.
