AEM Commander v0.3.0 - Persistence & Strategic Depth

AEM Commander v0.3.0 brings major strategic depth to the simulated battlefield. This update introduces full state persistence, allowing for multi-session campaigns where every loss, launched missile, and active flight carries over. Furthermore, new modules like civilian traffic, strategic ballistic missiles, and border choke points create a more immersive and tactically demanding environment for the AI to navigate.

📝 Changelog

  • State Persistence Module: You can now save your mission progress to continue later. The system tracks destroyed units, downed pilots (CSAR), and available resources. Crucially, it saves the exact 3D position, altitude, speed, and current tactical orders of all active AI-spawned groups, restoring them seamlessly in the air or on the ground during your next session.
  • Civilian Traffic Module (Optional): Injects dynamic, neutral background civilian flights traveling between designated airbases and transit zones, bringing the skies to life.
  • Border Crossings (Choke Points): Added a new strategic concept for ground invasions. Ground units (Assault/Transport) are now forced to route their invasions through specific border_crossing goals, creating natural choke points and defined frontlines that coalitions must control.
  • Strategic Ballistic Missiles (Optional): Theater commanders can now authorize devastating ballistic missile strikes against high-value static targets. Ballistic missiles are treated as a limited consumable inventory that permanently depletes upon launch or if a missile depot is destroyed.

🚀 Quick Start Guide

  1. Launch the App: Download the executable for your OS or build from source, and run the AEM Commander application.
  2. Configure AI & Tracking: Enter your Google Gemini API Key or Vertex AI JSON. To use the new persistence features, click Create new save and enter your exact DCS Mission Name.
  3. Set Parameters: Adjust the Commander's aggressiveness, escalation rules, and your starting Ballistic Missile inventory.
  4. Start the Engine: Click Start in the app to begin listening for DCS telemetry.
  5. Run DCS: Launch your configured DCS mission. If AUTO_CONNECT is set to false in your aem-commander.lua script, open the F10 Radio Menu and select Connect to HQ.
  6. Save Your Progress: Before leaving the mission, open the DCS F10 Radio Menu and select AEM Commander > Save persistence state. This ensures all active flights and losses are recorded for your next playthrough.

You will need a Gemini API Key, or a Google Cloud service account (you get $300 free credits, check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1_0jddJf6o)
