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.
