Dynamic Campaign Tools (DCT)

Mission scripting framework for persistent Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) missions.

Provide a set of tools to allow mission designers to easily create scenarios for persistent dynamic campaigns within the DCS game world.

Dynamic Campaign Tools relies on content that can be built directly in the mission editor, these individuals need little to no programming skills to provide content to a DCT enabled mission.

Scenarios are created through a theater definition consisting of templates, created in the Mission Editor and configuration files. There is an initial learning curve but it is no more difficult than initially learning the DCS Mission Editor.
