Mission of the Day
A fresh mission, every morning.
Don't want to think about composition? Just want to fly something new today? Hit /today.
What it is
A pre-built mission generated automatically every day at 00:05 UTC. The engine picks a random cell (Map / Era / Scenario) and a random composition seed, builds the .miz, posts it to the Fox3 Discord #mission-exchange channel, and exposes it on /today.
When it fires
Daily at 00:05 UTC. That's 8:05pm EDT / 5:05pm PDT the previous evening for North American time zones. A new mission is ready before you wake up.
How to use it
- Open /today.
- Read the mission card — it shows the cell, the recipe (if any), and the composition seed.
- Click Download .miz.
- Open the file in DCS.
- If you like it and want a small variation, click Remix — /build opens with all of today's settings pre-filled.
Why use MotD?
- Zero setup. No sliders, no decisions — just a ready mission.
- Variety. Random cell each day means you fly maps and scenarios you might not pick yourself.
- Free. Doesn't count against your monthly build quota.
- Shared. Everyone in the Fox3 community is flying the same mission today, so you can swap stories.
- QA-gated. Every Mission of the Day passes a live load test against a real DCS server before it ships. The 2026-04-26 broken-MotD bug class can never reach you.
- Per-life variation. Fox3MenuKit v1.3 re-rolls threats on each respawn — so even a single MotD has different threat layouts across lives.
