Creating the Battlefield in Real Time | Olympus for DCS | Digital Combat Simulator 

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.

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.

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’).

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.

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

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.

Arma Zeus for DCS! Awesome!

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.

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

super cool! how the hell ED hasn't done something like this already is beyond me

okay now this is really epic, this gives a lot of opportunities for online servers but also coop/milsim events. i love it !

This is absoutely MIND BLOWING. And it's the ONE thing that DCS needed! Like what make Arma 3 really the Arma 3!

Ok now this is COOL!

I've just installed and tasted it is Singleplayer this mornig. Its awesome and works like a charm!

Game changing mod, thank you for getting the guys the exposure with your crew buddy!

Thanks Casmo for letting us know about this. This is going to make multiplayer even better!

This looks amazing. I can't wait to see what servers can do with this.

Just wow! This may well be the way forward for Eagle Dynamics...

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.

Many thanks to Velstro and Lovo for putting this together.

This looks very promising. Can't wait to try it out!

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 see what they did there with the name. 😄

Very very very cool! Looking forward to this.

I will pay for this; this is amazing! Thank you guys you are truly talented individuals!

Looks amazing, didn't disappoint with the announcement - thanks Casmo!

This looks really cool! Wow! They almost turned DCS into an RTS!

Wow. If this works as advertised... Casmo, you weren't kidding around when you were teasing this earlier this week.

This is awesome, amazing work Davide.

Oh god! MY MI24 Hind is ready to deploy in Olympus! :)

This is great. Thanks Casmo

"you can move a tanker when it is in cloud" Tanker guys: "Yeah that never happens"

Absolutely revolutionary game changer. Can't wait to see what Cap and the Grim Reapers, and Growling Sidewinder do with this!!!!

Oh wow, I'm actually really impressed

Holy crap is this a game changer! Thanks for bringing this to light, Casmo!

Good stuff Casmo. Thanks!

Hopefully soon some functionality to add objectives. Or static buildings and attach goals or mission targets with completion messaging etc. Thanks for the upload

That's a brilliant addition

Wow. Very cool!

Seriously, thanks for bringing this to people's attention.

Looks fantastic

This is frigging awesone.

Totally awesome! Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴

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 is outstanding. I hope ED are paying attention to this kind of thing.

This looks awesome!

Free and open source, on the fly in-mission AI mission editor wow!

This looks AMAZING.

Olympus has huge potentials. I actually see it easily becoming a strategy game which one can play more like a war sim....

bruh holy shit this is amazing. Essentially with this it acts like zeus from ARMA and we can use it to save progress

God damn there’s some smart cookies out there

Now this is impressive! 👀

this is going to be a real game changer

This is incredible

OOOOHHH SHEEEET This is hot, cant wait to jump on this

Okay yeah this is pretty badass!

We were waiting Daddy. Thank you.

Essentially Zeus for DCS! Hell yeah!!

That's pretty cool.

I’ve been wanting to eventually get into mission making. It looks like it may finally be time to do so. Haha

thats really cool, even if im probably not gonna use it, its still very usefull!

Didn't know about Olympus. That's really cool

That's pretty epic!

inb4 ED announces "Combined Arms 2"

I think this just changes the game totally. Group play has just gotten much more interesting

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….

Hey Casmo! Olympus looks amazing so far! Any chance you can invite Wags for another podcast episode in the future?

amazing

It’s epic great to have for the buys

Wow that's pretty cool. 👍👍👍

Lovo had the best training videos! But no content for 2 years ☹️

YES. But when are we getting FCR? 😜

A new RTS just dropped

I'll be hooking up a second monitor just because of this.

Hope things like this made it to DCS core...

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

@CasmoTV - Just off to the side, that theme song is absolutely gorgeous. Any way we could hear the whole thing?

So its like a Dungeons and Dragons session with a DM, but in DCS?

Nice, very nice.

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.

Pretty nifty.

DCS: Command Modern OperationsReally promising project that I am looking forward to!

OMG!!!!!! 💯💯💯

Finally a Zeus mod for dcs! lol

Someone get ahold of Enigma

1:18 Nazaré Tedesco agora é internacional hahhaa

And again community fixing and adding more tools meanwhile ED... Thanks for all guys and Casmo, this is amazing for squadron missions and very similar to Arma Zeus

I WAS RIGHT!!! ARMA 3 ZEUS BUT IN DCS!!!!!

a perfect evolution of my buddy's Cake's original Gamemaster script. Look forward to using it.

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?

Hi, Installed , but stuck in connecting screen, also posted on DCS forums.

Nice tool for training scenario's👌

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?

OMG!!

I’m unclear. Does it create missions with fidelity, or does one need to fine tune it in mission editor?

OMg !!! What a hard work ! Is it possible to have fog of war or only game master ?

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.

But we already have this in DDCS Hardcore server, we can control ground units, give them waypoints, move tankers, etc, like one day we move a 60 tank convoy to attack and capture a base and once close we got into the ground units and face the enemy playing their own ground units Same for sams, not only we can build what ever air defense we want. But we can move them at will, trust me, a player hiding in a buk is scary lol As far as i know, it has always been possible in DCS, its just that only DDCS server is the only one using those possibilities

Is it possible to semi-RTS the AI while playing as a game master ? Let's say I got 2 Flankers on cap; against a lone wolf player. Instead of barreling in towards an enemy like what the standard AI does. I can perhaps have the Flankers cap around a geographic point, and when approached I'd make them go pincer against that solo guy, or even go cold if at a disadvantage.

nice, this work on fox3 servers?
