This might be the closest we ever get to an ARMA level mission editor with DCS. Holy shit… 🙌🎉 Really looking forward to getting my hands on this, so I can incorporate it to replace what is for me the worst part of DCS mission building. Being able to take my mission templates, with things like MOOSE and StopGaps to just build the world, and the pivoting over to this for actual gameplay is going to be incredible.
@@alcmann Rather than Zeus, this reminds me more of MCC, an Arma mod that predated Zeus by quite a bit. Even the feature set advertised in this video is more similar to MCC. I suspect Zeus would not have come to be without MCC showing the value of real-time player procured content. There is a 'game master' role in combined arms, but it's so severely lacking it's not really worth the name right now. Maybe that will change because of this.
THIS could be the ultimate boost for DCS, I would even pay for this if it really works like shown in the video! Imho missionbuilding the 'old way' becomes very soon masochistic. Zeus for DCS? I WANT IT!!! ;-)
but u basically need a player to play the HQ kinda.. which is ok for me, i think DCS needs some sort of another game that links to DCS, so you have this strategic, tactical game and DCS is the enforcer where actual blowing up comes together.. I think some sort of totally new 2D game with strategic and tactical level is needed, so in real time with time being real, a whole set of new players control units and send them to mission, and plan accordingly due to recon available data and strategies they choose, and us players flyers would just jump in the plane at any particular moment and play our part.
Yeah this is pretty darn awesome! It will make flying missions much easier and enjoyable. When I set up missions for videos, I often think.. oh damn! I should have added this… or that needs to move to a different spot etc. Then I need to exit, edit the mission, push the time to my server, add it, restart, etc. Love this mod and the guys seem great! Also, I guessed correctly (just sayin’).
This will be so useful when the DCS Ai does a DCS'ism we have flown a whole sortie and on the way back to the boat the tanker has decided its time to land or doesn't respond etc. Having the ability to spawn in a new one and send it to us would be amazing
While in it's birthing stage, I see so many possibilities, I do hope ED is paying attention to this. I am not a big fan of Add-ons, bu this one might just be worth the hassle!
ED is sadly very much lacking in Gameplay department, DCS needs a HQ update, meaning serious HQ add-on, where players would just do the numbers, how many divisions we have, supply routes, recon, suppression ,SEAD, jamming, entranchment of units, etc.. the whole deal.. right now its as barren as it was 20 yrs ago
This mod reminds me of MCC, a mod for Arma. It was around for a long time for Arma 2 (possibly Arma 1) before well into the life of Arma 3 they made Zeus. This video advertises a remarkably similar feature set compared to MCC.
The idea of a dynamic LSCO style multiplayer Mission in DCS has been my dream for so long. I just wished the Combined Arms Module could receive more love and attention. As much as I love flying the AH-64 and how much fidelity and detail Eagle Dynamics put into this module, I don't just wanna do preset missions the whole time shooting at predictable targets. I want to be able to do other things as well. Adding the ability to spawn random enemies on the map in realtime would be a dream. Just imagine a flight of Kiowa's from an Air Cavalry Squadron providing early warning of enemy activity to the Ground Commander. Then having the players flying Apache's including any other additional rotary and fixed-wings destroy/delay the enemy. And all of a sudden the Game Master decides to spawn some Su-25's and MiG-29's out of nowhere and have it attack the Main Body. Now it's the fixed-winged player's task to take them out. Or imagine if they add playable infantry in the distant future. The thought of supporting Blackhawks in an Air Assault Operation would be absolutely amazing.
That gonna send multiplayer mission into the next level ❤... wwaaoohh dammit it's so much more better.. Things like this remind me Arma...i think as Arma's bot Eagle dynamic need to improve Ai Communication..i mean if all bots under your control spot somth..they might Tell u directly.. that allows every human pilots or Tank crewmember..to be more realistic by doing as soon as possible anything to deal with the threat
This really is a game changer. I've had a few times on Grayflag server where Graywolf or another admin starting controlling redfor and launching unexpected attacks on our airbases with enemy armor and aircraft, or coordinating air defense at the objectives we're attacking and leaving SAM's turned off until we are well within their engagement zone. It is easily the most fun I've had playing DCS
I am speechless. This is beyond amazing. That mod could open up so many mission concepts that were prohibitively hard to do. Not so much because they were impossible, but because they were so hard to balance and test. Especially ground operations with CAS and helicopter support will benefit so much from this.
Looks to be a great new addition to making dynamic pop-up threats responding. Always liked the idea of an inactive SAM site moving into a new area and going active.
Ok let’s keep updating DCS and use it as our hyper realistic battlefield so we can simulate any scenario/mission and have our fighters fly it before hand. Keep going….
Hopefully soon some functionality to add objectives. Or static buildings and attach goals or mission targets with completion messaging etc. Thanks for the upload
Mission making is something I want to get into. I plan to get a Fox3 server soon and try my hand. This might be quite helpful. So one question, does assist in the making of a mission or is it just for once the mission has been made you can add things on the fly?
Hey Dude... I know a mission creator who doesnt give any enemy units on his missions, unless you are in Tac Cmdr mode... It would be great to have recon units in order to give info to the warfighters, for mission planning
All AI units are recon units in DCS. They will report what they see to the tac commander and it will be displayed on the F10 map in Fog of War. Players can be recon units with 'cockpit visual recon'.
Excellent presntation, Casmo and thanks a lot to Veltro and the gang (you guys know who you are) for making a revolutionary product and a dream come true.
DCS needs community to create a realistic forces by era. Like example USMC 1980 and 1990. Drop those templates allows to populate areas, bit doesn't help with AI, that doesn't even know what to do with them. Why we need Skynet script like that is for IADS, but have it for everything else than a IADS. So example such script that takes AI initiative as Brigade commander. And then other that act like Battalion commanders, under the Brigade commander. Have the script act as much as possible as individual AI entity, concentrate it's own responsibilities. And use some other scripts generate the intelligence, that those script AI's would react to as only. If the military command structure would be modeled, use some cheats to disable AI units when there is no player around or no enemies, one could populate server with thousands of ground units, and possibly get them work more realistic manner.
This looks amazing, To me, setting up missions in DCS is such a chore, that when I get the mission set up, I'm so tried of it, that I won't even play it, looking forward to this. One dumb question though, will it work with the World War 2 assets, so that I can fly WW2 missions?
its kinda weird how dcs doesent have theese things natively yet. given how long arma has had this. it seems to allmost allways come down to modders and third party developers to add any kind of quality of life features. maybe im just being salty for no reason but i feel like ED is sandbagging their own product but atleast they do keep the game open for modders to make cool stuff like this soo i guess we cant be too mad about their seemingly lazy ways
Great! I installed your application and it messed completely up my Operating system. I can't launch any software now. Getting all kind of dll files missing, net framework installation failed, etc. Awesome.
We need soldiers guys and capturing cities guys playable soidiers like arma or cod or bf or something like these.the sodiers that can parachute from plane and helicoppters or get in the cars get out capturing cities
This might be the closest we ever get to an ARMA level mission editor with DCS. Holy shit… 🙌🎉

Wow. If this works as advertised... Casmo, you weren't kidding around when you were teasing this earlier this week.
Told ya!
Looks fantastic
Didn't know about Olympus. That's really cool
Coming soon.
@@CasmoTV ™
God damn there’s some smart cookies out there
I WAS RIGHT!!!
ARMA 3 ZEUS BUT IN DCS!!!!!
Holy crap is this a game changer! Thanks for bringing this to light, Casmo!
YES. But when are we getting FCR? 😜
This has the potential to be a game changer for DCS. Set-up the bare minimum for a mission and build it dynamcally as events unfold. Amazing.
but u basically need a player to play the HQ kinda.. which is ok for me, i think DCS needs some sort of another game that links to DCS, so you have this strategic, tactical game and DCS is the enforcer where actual blowing up comes together..

@@keepwalking6041 basically adding an RTS layer to DCS. Id play the fuck out of that

Yeah the time saved for little things will add up considerably.

It’s worth it just for that.
I've just installed and tasted it is Singleplayer this mornig. Its awesome and works like a charm!
While in it's birthing stage, I see so many possibilities, I do hope ED is paying attention to this. I am not a big fan of Add-ons, bu this one might just be worth the hassle!
I HATE adding mods and such but this was a breeze.
super cool! how the hell ED hasn't done something like this already is beyond me
ED is sadly very much lacking in Gameplay department, DCS needs a HQ update, meaning serious HQ add-on, where players would just do the numbers, how many divisions we have, supply routes, recon, suppression ,SEAD, jamming, entranchment of units, etc.. the whole deal.. right now its as barren as it was 20 yrs ago
Maybe cuz ED just doesn't care about its users! 🤷♂
@@keepwalking6041 That almost sounds like the dynamic campaign thing they've been working on for a long while already.
This mod reminds me of MCC, a mod for Arma. It was around for a long time for Arma 2 (possibly Arma 1) before well into the life of Arma 3 they made Zeus.

We've used Combined Arms far more since building this. Olympus allows you to spawn and take control of CA-compatible units.
I see what they did there with the name. 😄
okay now this is really epic, this gives a lot of opportunities for online servers but also coop/milsim events. i love it !
That gonna send multiplayer mission into the next level ❤... wwaaoohh dammit it's so much more better..

I LOVE when that happens in GF. It really is awesomely fun.
One time a few mods were flying redfor f-14's and THAT was a damn hoot.
It wasn’t an Onlyfans
*IT WAS BETTER*
Game changing mod, thank you for getting the guys the exposure with your crew buddy!
Very very very cool! Looking forward to this.
now @casmoTV can play out as Tommy Lee Jones, and throw in more enemies into the game so players can get their "i am the greatest" on..lol
We were waiting Daddy. Thank you.
Someone get ahold of Enigma
This is absoutely MIND BLOWING.
And it's the ONE thing that DCS needed!
Like what make Arma 3 really the Arma 3!

bruh holy shit this is amazing. Essentially with this it acts like zeus from ARMA and we can use it to save progress
This looks very promising. Can't wait to try it out!
Hey Casmo! Olympus looks amazing so far! Any chance you can invite Wags for another podcast episode in the future?
I have an idea for waggy-poo, just haven’t talked to him yet
This looks amazing. I can't wait to see what servers can do with this.
I will pay for this; this is amazing! Thank you guys you are truly talented individuals!
Just wow! This may well be the way forward for Eagle Dynamics...
Wow. Very cool!
Finally a Zeus mod for dcs! lol
This looks really cool! Wow!
They almost turned DCS into an RTS!
Oh god! MY MI24 Hind is ready to deploy in Olympus! :)
Ok let’s keep updating DCS and use it as our hyper realistic battlefield so we can simulate any scenario/mission and have our fighters fly it before hand. Keep going….
Hope things like this made it to DCS core...
Essentially Zeus for DCS! Hell yeah!!
"you can move a tanker when it is in cloud"
Tanker guys: "Yeah that never happens"
We make our own perfect worlds lol
OOOOHHH SHEEEET This is hot, cant wait to jump on this
So its like a Dungeons and Dragons session with a DM, but in DCS?
Pretty much, yes.
This is great. Thanks Casmo
this is going to be a real game changer
Thanks Casmo for letting us know about this. This is going to make multiplayer even better!
Hi, Installed , but stuck in connecting screen, also posted on DCS forums.
Hopefully soon some functionality to add objectives. Or static buildings and attach goals or mission targets with completion messaging etc.
Thanks for the upload
It’s epic great to have for the buys
That's pretty cool.
Many thanks to Velstro and Lovo for putting this together.
thats really cool, even if im probably not gonna use it, its still very usefull!
Oh wow, I'm actually really impressed
Lovo had the best training videos! But no content for 2 years ☹️
Free and open source, on the fly in-mission AI mission editor wow!
Seriously, thanks for bringing this to people's attention.
Okay yeah this is pretty badass!
DCS: Command Modern OperationsReally promising project that I am looking forward to!
OMg !!! What a hard work ! Is it possible to have fog of war or only game master ?
You can play as red or blue commander and only see what you "should" see. Game master sees all.
@@peekaboosteam Nice !!

Absolutely revolutionary game changer. Can't wait to see what Cap and the Grim Reapers, and Growling Sidewinder do with this!!!!
I’ve been wanting to eventually get into mission making. It looks like it may finally be time to do so. Haha
Totally awesome! Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴
Excellent presntation, Casmo and thanks a lot to Veltro and the gang (you guys know who you are) for making a revolutionary product and a dream come true.
Wow a Garbage "metal based wild dog" on the Grim Reapers Discord gave me absolute shit for describing something like this. You can't cure Boagan.
amazing
nice, this work on fox3 servers?
Shouldn’t be an issue from what I can tell. I haven’t tried it on mine yet.
Olympus has huge potentials. I actually see it easily becoming a strategy game which one can play more like a war sim....
This is incredible
Looks amazing, didn't disappoint with the announcement - thanks Casmo!
I'll be hooking up a second monitor just because of this.
I think this just changes the game totally. Group play has just gotten much more interesting
Pretty nifty.
@CasmoTV - Just off to the side, that theme song is absolutely gorgeous. Any way we could hear the whole thing?
This is awesome, amazing work Davide.

I’m unclear. Does it create missions with fidelity, or does one need to fine tune it in mission editor?
This looks AMAZING.
Now this is impressive! 👀
