Mission Data Files
These are DCS Mission Editor files in which a set of preset location have been defined. Anybody can create these, the only skill needed is the ability to place object in the mission editor.
A mizdata file is associated to a DCS Liberation control point, which is usually an airbase.
Mizdata files are located in directory ./resources/mizdata//.miz
These files contains :
- Preset location for SAMs/strike targets
- Preset location for coastal/defense (Silkworm missiles sites for modern scenario, or Artilery Bunker for WW2)
- Preset location for Factory/Power Plant (for future use)
- Maybe more stuff later
Try to spread them out around the control point area, but do not put them too close together. Otherwise we might end up with overlapping icons in the DCS Liberation software if two locations are too close from each other have been picked.
Here is an example for Mozdok :
These locations are represented in the mission editor by a single APC-AAV-7, with USA as country.
To maintain randomness of the scenario generated by liberation, the more you can place the better (but remember, do not put them too close from each other), place at least 10 of them if you can.
DCS Liberation will pick a few of these locations to generate SAM sites and/or Strike targets.
Here is an example of location :
You should pick flat land, with at least 1500ft of free field around, so there is enough free space to generate a full SAM site. (600ft is ok for WW2 map)
When possible, or a strategic location that will cover either a frontline to another airbase.
Good example of location :
Bad example :
BAD ! No that's bad ! There will not be enough space to generate most SAM sites, some units might end up in the trees !
BAD ! This is not flat and, there are trees around, literally one of the worst possible location !
Maybe more things in the future.
