hi rkusa, just wanted to bring to your attention that apparently DATIS doesn't register lines in the SITUATION BRIEFING, if appended at the end of long briefing texts such as in DCS_liberation. as a workaround, i add the line(s) on top of the briefing. not a big drama, just that you know...thanks

Thanks for the info! Definitely good to know. I might be moving DATIS to being only configurable through Lua anyway (#113). Do you see any challenges when you'd have to add some Lua like DATIS.new(251):airfield("Batumi"):start() to a DCS libration mission?

on the contrary, i think it would make things easier for the devs or campaign creators, but we would have to ask them to be sure... the typical DCS user however might still want the simple approach of adding a few lines to the situation briefing.
added my 2c also here (#113) : )

I am indeed wondering whether it should keep it for the typical DCS user, so I appreciate the feedback 👍
