¶ Welcome to BlueFlag Wiki
BlueFlag is a large-scale, persistent multiplayer campaign for Digital Combat Simulator (DCS World), designed to simulate a dynamic war environment where players fight for control over a map in real time.
Created and maintained by the BuddySpike team, BlueFlag has become one of the most popular and influential community-driven events in the DCS ecosystem.
¶ Main Features:

- Team-Based Gameplay: Players join either the "Red" or "Blue" coalition, working together to capture objectives, defend assets, and coordinate large-scale operations.
- Dynamic Frontlines: The frontlines shift as teams capture or lose airbases, FARPs, and strategic points, requiring constant adaptation and teamwork.
- Diverse Roles: Supports all DCS modules, allowing players to fly fighters, bombers, helicopters, and even operate ground vehicles.
- Logistics and Strategy: Success depends not just on air combat, but also on logistics, supply runs, and coordinated ground assaults.
- Custom Scripting: Advanced Lua scripting (as seen in your workspace) automates mission generation, slot management, and dynamic events.
