Update March 17, 2024 – 1: TTI SP v2.4.9f
Changed despawn logic of friendly BLUE AI aircraft. Carrier type aircraft despawn quicker than other airframe types to ensure that carrier decks are not blocked when AI are busy doing launch and recovery.
Updated text readme and online documentation on how to get “load settings from saved games” to work.
Fixed an issue where it was possible that Korean War and WW2 era aircraft would sometimes deploy modern countermeasures.
Fixed an issue where friendly A2A spawns TO PLAYER location did not have a working waypoint for the AI or map marker.
Fixed an issue with spawning SMERCH units that caused an error.
Fixed an issue with spawning BLUE TRAINER AIRCRAFT units that caused an error.
Fixed an issue where CONVOY INTEL would always display when asking for single mission intel of another type
Fixed an issue where mission settings were not showing the correct setting for JTAC drones.
Fixed an issue where ground units requesting air support/CAS messages would not go on cooldown sometimes and constantly spam.
Add new artillery units to spawning pools and database: red_arty_hlb8m1 and red_arty_ttb8m1 (Insurgent trucks with B8M1 80mm launchers)
Add new AAA flak units to spawning pools and database: red_aa_aaa_s60, red_aa_aaa_ks19, red_aa_aaa_firecan_son9
Changed TTI Settings default in editor and in scripts to improve performance for defaults.

Add radio menu option to FLARE DESIGNATE active ground and/or ship convoy missions.
Add new options to change the number of units in enemy ship and ground convoys
Removed a dependency on carrier spawn so that certain mods do not break loading the mission scripts. Note that mods that break carrier spawns will still have broken carriers regardless of DCS mission. This is for those who choose to continue to use these mods and do not intend to use carriers. A message will warn about this, and can still pop-up if the carriers were accidentally removed or renamed in the mission editor.
Added text file with recommended settings to improve performance.
Fixed many script errors relating to CTLD, CSAR, Tanker Spawns and other core scripts relating to DCS Engine Update. Please ensure that you do not use any DCS Open Beta version earlier than DCS Open Beta DCS 2.9.1.48111 which was released on November 11, 2023.
Fixed an issue where some MISSION ERAs and WW2 Asset Pack were not working, causing script errors on some maps.
Added an option to load/read mission settings from local files on your PC, that do not require re-saving or re-loading scripts into the mission via the editor. This is not the default behavior, you must change this in the DEFINE MISSION LOAD SETTINGS in the MISSION EDITOR first. See documentation and included text file for details.
JTAC/AFAC Drones will now prioritize air defenses before targeting armor, then soft targets, then finally infantry.
Option added for JTAC/AFAC Drones to prioritize air defenses or to choose targets at random. Prioritizing air defenses is the default setting.
Extended the F10 Other – Menu options for JTAC/AFAC target status by adding options for the time to display the status pop-up, similar to the active target location options.
Fixed an issue in the Caucasus mission where some F10 – Other menu options were duplicated and caused spawning issues.
Added method within the RAT.lua to change whether certain RAT spawns start on runway, hot or cold on ramp. These options are not exposed in the mission settings, but can be changed in the lua for ease of future updates for the mission designer.
Cleaned up the startup script and settings text and consolidated to a single text box. This status message can be disabled in the mission settings. Additionally, you can see the script and startup status of the mission via the F10. Other Misc Mission Tools and Utils Menu.

Fixed an issue on Caucasus where a helo mission marker was slightly offset.
Ground convoys both red and blue are now randomized at EACH spawn, utilizing the standard ‘spawning pool list’ method. This means convoy templates are no longer edited within the mission editor.
ease check documentation on how to edit convoy spawning pools
Fixed an issue where the tankers were spawning too low below low cloud layers.
Fixed an issue in Random Air Traffic script where too many AV-8B’s were spawning on the LHA-1, along with too many helos. This number has been reduced and options were added.

Added red/blue_ship_supplytilde to spawning pools and the Zeus spawning list. Check documentation for details.
Added red/blue_ship_ls_ropucha to spawning pools and the Zeus spawning list. Check documentation for details.
“I’m hit ejecting”/”Eject” friendly voice lines will not play if the aircraft that gets destroyed is an un-manned aircraft (drone).
Helicopter related scripts (CTLD, CSAR) will now only load if and when a player occupies a helicopter slot. FARPs are still usable for other aircraft even without CTLD or CSAR scripts.
Added new optional expansion script for popular flyable DCS Aircraft Mods (F-22A, F-35, Su-30, and more!)
Restored “A2A Hard” to just be a regular A2A spawn using the A2A HARD template
Previously, A2A Hard was setup as the A2A Enemy Elite Squadron spawn, but now this has it’s own new spawn type as “A2A Enemy Elite Sqn” in the menu. This utilizes the A2A HARD template list as a spawning pool for now.
Added “SINGLE MISSION MODE” which is a great way to save on performance or simply let the mission decide which mission you need to tackle, by spawning in ONE SINGLE MISSION at a time, randomly choosing which mission type is spawned.
a new mission type will spawn (never the same one twice), and which mission types are in rotation are editable in the mission settings.
Added Anti-Ship Convoy missions, they are the same as Ground Convoy Missions, but at sea! Corresponding configurable options are available, along with editable templates in the mission editor, again same as the ground convoys.

Added a new RAT menu option to spawn all CVN assets that have not already been initialized.
Added option to have “A2A Constant” enemy air spawns respawn after a kill. Currently by default and previously, A2A Constant spawns happens on a timer, and you can optionally switch to this new option for constant spawns to happen after the constant A2A enemy aircraft group is destroyed.
Added a F10 Other menu option to disable A2A auto-spawns while mid-mission.
Optional Expansion scripts now allow for custom airfield spawn locations
Added options in mission settings to change unit threshold amounts, which determines how many units remain before the mission clears itself out to avoid issues where it may be impossible to find/destroy the last remaining unit.
Made EWRS update interval and display time more reasonable by default. You can still change these settings in-game and/or within the mission settings that you edit in the Mission Editor.
Added an option to make EWRS AWACS auto-reports on or off by default.
Added an option to change EWRS display time.
Fixed an issue where A2A Helo missions were not spawning from the correct spawning pool list.
Further polish and cleaning up of the organization of the F10 Other Menu for ease of use.
Allowed Carrier Deck layout menu in the Cold War era.
Allowed more RAT Carrier aircraft in Cold War Era
Carrier aircraft slots initialize Carrier RAT AI planes, Carrier deck statics. Modded aircraft that can spawn on carriers will now also trigger these spawns.
When ground missions with available WPT initializes, the message of the new mission will display with the WPT number.
Optionally installed modded player aircraft spawns trigger their respective tankers and logistics.
Further improvements to mission detection logic that should alleviate some script processing performance.
Major overhaul to Random Air Traffic (RAT) Script:
Added a RAT F10 – Other menu to manually control RAT spawns in real time while in-game and other options.
RAT aircraft at airbases utilize a random pool of aircraft that you can customize, similar to editing spawning pools
RAT aircraft will take off, fly to one of the RAT Waypoints, which you can move, resize (they spawn in a random position within those zones), then land at the airbase they originated from
RAT aircraft will respawn shortly after parking or death as a new aircraft type
Introduction of REDFOR RAT aircraft. Each map will have a REDFOR base or two, which REDFOR RAT planes will commute between. Their types are also randomized and can also be customized similar to editing spawning pools.
Added option to only spawn RAT carrier aircraft if a player occupies the relevant carrier aircraft. Example; if a player spawns in an FA-18C or F-14A/B, then if enabled, the RAT aircraft for the CVN carrier will spawn. This is also how it will work for the Su-33 or AV-8B N/A.
S-3B and E-2D are added as optional carrier aircraft for the CVN.
Added “Random” spawning template pools for those that wish to randomize aircraft that spawn on carriers, including custom aircraft
Added option to also spawn helos on the LHA-1 Tarawa

Fixed an issue where EWRS AWACS report interval setting via F10 Menu was not working.
Added a customizable livery lua file for those that wish to utilize custom liveries for both red or blue aircraft. This file needs to be extracted from the miz using 7zip, and re-injected after editing.
All aircraft now have a default livery set that should help players discern red from blue for aircraft that have several liveries available in vanilla DCS.
CTLD was updated to the latest version.
Added new menu option with CTLD to change between real sling loading or simulated hover loading while in-game.
Fixed an issue where sometimes spawning into newly created client/player aircraft would not work.

Instead of using a random position within a single large zone which sometimes results in bandits spawning on top of you, there are now 10 random A2A enemy spawn starting position zones which you can move around to change generally where bandits may come from. It chooses one of these A2A enemy spawn zones at random each time an A2A enemy group is initiated.
– Added missing SA-15 Tor unit to spawning pool, database and zeus script. Unit list was also updated.
– Moved SFX files to their own directory instead of using the trigger list implementation, which saves nearly 1MB of filesize.
UPDATE 02/07/21 – 1: v1.80a – Overhaul on all ground and air spawnable units at A2A and A2G Missions as well as “Zeus” spawnable units: – ALL DCS Aircraft and Ground Units are available to add/remove at all mission types. – ALL DCS Aircraft and Ground Units are available to spawn via “Zeus” spawning in real-time using map markers. – Free WW2 assets were also added to now allow for players to adjust the spawning pools to be more geared towards WW2 engagements.
A2A Missions are now more based on aircraft types rather than their group size/skill level. The default setup would be that easy aircraft will be less formidable types; L-39, C-101, etc, where hard aircraft will consist of Su-30, F-15C, etc. These templates can be adjusted to what the player is more comfortable with.
Expanding the unit pools and database within the mission to ALL DCS units will give players the ability to make any combination of enemy forces; Change the spawning pools to only spawn “Eastern” faction units or “Western” faction units for realistic engagements. The current setup is a mix between both “RED” and “BLUE” faction enemy units.
– Added an aircraft skill setting for both RED and BLUE AI aircraft.
– Allowed for changing out enemy unit spawning pools for all A2G mission types; A2G Easy, Hard, Helo, Infantry Assault, Anti-ship.
– Moved all “template” units to scripting for much more modularity and ease of mission maintenance/updates when new maps, modules units are released.
– Fixed an issue where editing the playable client slots would sometimes cause a crash/black screen on mission start.
– Fixed and polished countries and coalitions so that client aircraft and friendly coalition units have more customization potential.
– All client aircraft are set to their country of origin (ex. the Su-27 is set to Russia and the J-11A is set to China, etc…).
– Client aircraft slots further polished fixing many typos and naming formats.
– Added CSAR (search and rescue) script for all helicopters. A new CSAR menu was added, which also includes an option to FORCE a rescue mission on command. Simply fly to the downed pilot (Friendly infantry unit named “Wounded Pilot” on map) and hover over to pick them up. Bring them back to an airfield, FARP or ship to complete the rescue. Additionally; Friendly player and AI that eject will spawn a new rescuable pilot where the ejection took place.
– Added an option that will limit the amount of aircraft spawned in via the F-10 – Other A2A spawning menu to prevent unlimited spamming of A2A missions. By default this option is set to allow for unlimited A2A mission stacking.
– Added an option for enabling/disabling the friendly carrier groups from attacking enemy aircraft.
– Renamed the Random Air Traffic (RAT) units in the editor to more generic names like “Large 1” or “Fighter 1” so that players can change out the type of aircraft the random air traffic will be in the editor. You can also edit their loadouts if applicable.
– Various base code improvements that allow for better performance overall.
– Changed WPT name labels to match the zones they belong for easier customization/editing.
UPDATE 10/28/2020 – 1: v1.72b
– Added dynamic convoy missions;
*Convoys can be configured to auto-start or spawned via the mission spawner menu
*They will be randomly generated, the unit composition of the convoy will be varied
*Their starting positions and routes will be randomly selected
*They can be repeated like normal A2G Missions
*Using the F10 – Other Intel report will provide a L/L of the convoy’s position at the time of the intel being requested.
*Configurable option to allow for adding map markers on the F10 Map to show the convoy’s position (The convoy map marker will update when intel is requested)
– Fixed an issue for carrier maps where using CVN-75 caused datalink issues. All carrier maps will now use CVN-72 instead.
UPDATE 09/30/2020 – 1: v1.71a
– Added A-10C II module
– Added C-101CC module
– Added MiG-29G module
– Added AI Helo Transport Script
– Add new debug feature and option to remove enemy ground units that are dynamically spawned above ground on top of buildings, folliage etc…
– Fixed incorrect tanker information in briefing and kneeboard
– Joint Task force coalition add to use for ease of adding/changing units
– Change Kuznetsov country to Joint Task Force Coalition Blue
– Change Su-33 country to Joint Task Force Coalition Blue
– Removed intrusive config folder that blocked some custom client settings from being applied
– Removed redundant mission detection checks to improve performance
– Improvements and optimizations to JTAC Auto Lase script to improve performance
– Disabled a few mission types by default to improve performance
– Disabled Airboss Rescue Helo by default to improve performance
– Disabled F/A-18C and F-14B Ground Random Air Traffic spawns by default to improve performance
– Removed non-Super Carrier extra miz file and included tutorial in included README.txt on how to change the Super Carrier units to the free carrier units.
UPDATE 08/27/2020 – 1: v1.68d
– Fixed an issue where spawning “hmv” via Zeus map marker command wasn’t working
– New logic in A2G Mission spawning will now prevent the same mission from re-spawning after being completed. A different mission will be randomly selected.
– Ground mission vehicles will now spawn with a random heading/azimuth.
UPDATE 08/08/2020 – 1: v1.68a
– Updated ALL ground mission zones to use “zone polygons” which are essentially HAND-DRAWN boundaries within towns, cities, landmarks that still spawn units in a random position within the zone, but in a more realistic position to add a bit more immersion.
If you still like the “blob” of units in a circle formation in an open feel, there is a quick guide on how to get that spawning method back.
This WILL make missions a bit more challenging due to the fact that units easily blend in with buildings, trees and other structures a bit more. Feel free to re-draw the zones or move them as you’d like.
UPDATE 07/15/2020 – 1: v1.67a
!! – THIS UPDATE IS REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO PLAY TTI SP on DCS Open Beta Version 2.5.6.52196 – !! – USE VERSION 1.66e if you are on a previous version of DCS Open Beta.

UPDATE 05/26/2020 – 1: v1.66d
– Added Super Carrier Deck Layout Menu to TTI Maps with the Super Carrier
Big thanks to Redkite for allowing me to add these amazing static deck layouts for the Super Carrier.
– Fixed an issue where SA-11 template units were not set to late activation
All Maps:
– Fixed an issue where WPT/Mission Map Markers were not deleting when a mission was complete.
– Added an option to enable/disable JTAC Drones at all A2G Missions
UPDATE 05/21/2020 – 1: v1.66b – IMPORTANT HOTFIX
Caucasus:
– Fixed a major issue where a WWII Asset Pack unit was accidentally placed on the map, making the map un-playable and un-editable for those who do not own the WWII Asset Pack DLC.
NTTR:
– Fixed an issue where the default AI Air Traffic spawns were set to hilariously high spawn rate.
All Maps:
– Fixed a major issue where setting A2A Carrier Bombers to “true” caused a script error loop.
– Added a new method to detect map/terrain type to make better use of shared scripts. This is more of a back-end scripting improvement and won’t affect gameplay.
– Added reference point ships by the carrier for CASE I recovery procedures.
UPDATE 05/20/2020 – 1: v1.66a –
OLD MISSIONS WILL NOT WORK WITH THE SUPER CARRIER UPDATE UNLESS YOU USE THIS NEW MISSION FILE.
All TTI SP Maps:
– Optimized Intel reports to be more ‘modular’ to make updating the mission easier.

– Updated Moose Script Framework to support the Airboss Mod update to work with the Stennis and new Super Carriers.
UPDATE 05/08/2019 – 1: v1.63f
Improved A2A Intercept Bomber Mission logic:
– Bomber escort fighters will now properly spawn near bomber and follow them
– An air raid siren sound and notification will let the player know when the bombers begin their attack.
Added new settings:
enable_airbase_bombers = set true or false if you want bombers that attack your main airbase
enable_carrier_bombers = set true or false if you want bombers that attack ships (only where anti-ship missions are available)
enable_bomber_escorts = set true or false if you want bombers with escort fighters
ground_bomber_amount = how many bombers at each spawn

— misc flight settings
air_traffic_flight_level = the flight level of ai air traffic (100 = 10,000 ft)
max_distance_destination = the max distance to a random airfield the ai air traffic will travel to in KM
civ_allow_immortal = true or false to allow civ aircraft to be immortal
civ_allow_invisible = true or false to allow civ aircraft to be invisible
fighter_jet_combat_mode = set free/hold/return combat mode for fighter jets
— free is weapons free, ai will go on offensive

– Made Random Mission Name visible when mission starts
– Removed JF-17 Refueling Probe by default
– Mounted DDM Sensors for M-2000C by default
– Changed some radio menu text to make “Ground Mission Location Intel” more obvious and visible.
– Updated backend scripting engine (latest MOOSE version as of May 2020)
– Optimized Mission Detection logic to be significantly less taxing on CPU, will now only be searching within ACTIVE ZONES rather than ALL ZONES.
UPDATE 04/16/20 – 1: v1.61a
– Fixed an issue where EWRS was not working properly
– Removed Reset AWACS from debug
– LHA-1 Tarawa matches patch of CVN-74 (on carrier maps only)
– JTAC Target Reports now show DM.M, DMS.S and MGRS
– KC-135 speed adjusted for F-16C usage ~Mach 0.6
UPDATE 03/09/20 – 1: v1.60a – Major update for 2.5.6 Compatibility
– Added a fix for enemy aircraft causing a ground mission to appear active when it flies through the zone. Mission zones will now ignore flying units.
– Changed dynamic JTAC spawning logic so that the dynamically crated JTAC names will now state which mission type they are marking for, making better use of the “JTAC Status” feature in the F10 – Other Menu
UPDATE 09/03/19 -1: v1.55a
– Added new JTAC Auto Lase Logic to now include ELEVATION IN FT of the marked target:
Big thanks to SanekFl for helping me find the scripting logic to implement this. SanekFl said: I looked into script and added target elevation info. Please review pull request
– Added a new map marker command “-delete jtac” that will remove the last zeus-spawned jtac. A new message appears when creating a zeus jtac to remind you of this new command and feature.
This latest version of TTI is REQUIRED if you wish to get map=marker zeus spawns to work properly again.
– Changed logic for JTAC units to optimize performance. JTAC units are now generated dynamically with mission zones and will be removed once the mission is complete.
Additionally, this means you can move mission zones around in the mission if you’d like, but the mission intel will be incorrect. You can use the JTAC Status as a work-around to get the coordinates of the designated targets if you aren’t relying on the F10 Map.
– Added a new JTAC zeus spawn that you can create anywhere on the map to spawn a JTAC recon drone to auto-lase/designate and smoke targets. The code for these JTAC drones created by zeus map marker spawning is always 1685 for now. I do have future plans to edit this on the fly. You can make as many of these as you’d like.
NOTE: For TTI Normandy WW2 , you must use “recon” instead of “jtac” to spawn the auto-lase/designating sentry unit.
UPDATE 07/03/2019 – 1: v1.53c HOTFIX
– Fixed a script error that prevented the trigger list lua file (main script file) from loading due to an error with CTLD file still in this version. This would occur when you set SlingLoading to false.
UPDATE 06/25/2019 – 1: v1.53a
– JTAC Autolase Target Reports are reformatted for easier reading and now provide Lat/Long SECONDS (DMS). Perfect for JDAMs, JSOWs and navigation systems that cannot use lat/long decimal format.
– There is now a new option for HELO SLINGLOADING to be enabled or disabled.
Enabled = uses real rope/sling on helos that have the sling feature. If there is no sling for the helo, then you cannot sling load with it.
Disabled = hover over the crate to carry it. Any helo can use this feature.
– Missions will now have unique procedural generated operation names, giving these missions a bit more character. This is more useful on our multiplayer servers, but we may do more with this in the near future.
UPDATE 06/01/2019 – 1: v1.52b
– Fixed an error where some blue units were not spawnable via the ‘zeus spawns’
– Changed the A2A Intercept mission to spawn 3 bombers that will be somewhat grouped up. They have 3 possible spawn locations on the map that will be chosen at random each time they are triggered.
– Added new bombers to the spawnable units list:
b1b_blue
b52_blue
f11a_blue
tu142_red
tu160_red
tu22m3_red
tu95ms_red
UPDATE 05/29/2019 – 1: v1.52a
– Added ability to STACK ZEUS-Spawned units:
– Added MANY more units that can be spawnable via “zeus” map marker spawns. List is on the main post, included as a text file in the zip along with the in-game briefing.
UPDATE 03/18/2019 – 1: v1.51c
– Further addressed and fixed an issue where EWRS and the MISSION SPAWNING radio menus were not properly working.
UPDATE 03/14/2019 – 1: v1.51b
– Added INS Stored Alignment to all F-14B slots
(This significantly shortens the INS alignment time when using “Fine Alignment”)
– Implemented new F10 Radio Menu logic that refreshes the menu regularly so that new players that join after the host will also have access to the radio menu.
– Fixed an issue where the friendly A2A backup units did not have any weapons loaded.
UPDATE 03/13/2019 – 1: v1.51
– Added 2 F-14B slots to the mission
Note: I’m aware of the F10 Mission Spawning menus not working for anyone except for the host. I have a fix in place, but I need more time to test it to ensure it works properly. For now it’s best ran with the host playing instead of using this mission on a dedicated machine if you wish to use the mission spawning and intel F10 menus.
UPDATE 03/04/2019 – 1: v1.50
– Changed TACAN frequencies of ships/tankers to fix AWACS D/L for the F/A-18C
– Added RWR for the MiG-19P
– Removed static objects on carriers
UPDATE 03/02/2019 – 1: v1.33a – HOTFIX
– Fixed a critical scripting error that broke mission spawns. All works now.
– AWACS Frequency returned to 251mhz AM as listed in the kneeboard and briefing.
UPDATE 03/02/2019 – 1: v1.33
– Added MiG-19P
– “Refreshed” units that affect the new F/A-18C Data Link Update
– Fixed incorrect frequency listing in the custom kneeboard.
UPDATE 02/12/2019 – 1: v1.32
– Added a new “A2A Intercept Bombers” mission type.
– Added new config options to set time for enemy bomber auto spawns and options to enable/disable them.
