The DCS Satellite ISR feature is an easy-to-use tool to take satellite-like pictures directly from DCS and therefore enabling mission designers to quickly create target folders or perform BDA after a mission.

== Installation and configuration ==
* In your DCS Saved Games directory, navigate to the ''Scripts'' subdirectory
* Create a directory named ''MissionPlot''

* Navigate to your MissionPlot installation directory
* Navigate to the Scripts subdirectory
* Copy ''MissionPlotDcsBridge.lua'' to your ''DCS Saved Games\Scripts\MissionPlot'' directory

* Open ''Export.lua'' located in your ''DCS Saved Games\Scripts'' directory
* Add the following lines and save:
<blockquote>
local MissionPlotLfs = require("lfs")
dofile(MissionPlotLfs.writedir() .. "Scripts/MissionPlot/MissionPlotDcsBridge.lua")
</blockquote>

== Basic usage ==
[https://www.patreon.com/cw/graveyard4DCS Graveyard of Empires] created a video showing the basic use of the feature that can be accessed [https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-use-dcs-155249661 here].

MissionPlot is constantly improved with a rate of about one major update per month. Urgent fixes or smaller updates may be provided in irregular intervals.

= V1.5.1 (released 2026-03-31) =
* TacTraq was renamed to MissionPlot
* Addition of the F-14A
* Addition of the M-2000C
* Added: Terrain data for Caucasus map
* Added: Terrain data for Persian Gulf map
* Added: Terrain data for Syria map
* Added: Dashed line shape for alternate legs
* Added: Lbs per NM indication and altitude and speeds for max endurance and max range on quick reference data window
* Added: Planning for empty external fuel tanks
* Added: Options setting for turn geometry
* Added: Check if TacTraq/MissionPlot is executed with elevated/administrator privileges. TacTraq/MissionPlot does not require administrator privileges and running it with those privileges can cause problems when it is ran without those privileges afterwards.
* Added: Optional maximum elevation calculation for circles and polygons
* Added: Open recent mission file option
* Added: Toolbar icon for adding a flight
* Added: Experimental DTC waypoints export for the F/A-18C
* Improved F-16 performance data
* Fixed: Export to MDC fails if flight planned without destination and/or alternate airports.
* Fixed: 90° angle of bank causes a crash
* Fixed: Reference points cannot be clicked and/or dragged
* Fixed: Waypoint elevation sometimes set incorrectly when inserting new waypoints
* Fixed: OpenStreetMap not working
* Fixed: Flightplan window does not scroll
* Fixed: Waypoints should only snap to airports/carriers/items if those are visible
* Fixed: Flight not selectable without waypoints
* Fixed: When the label of an item is clicked or the mousewheel is used on it, nothing happens
* Fixed: Activation not possible if device has been activated before (should be possible for the same account)
