CTLD v2

Combat Troops and Logistics Dispatcher — DCS World mission scripting framework.

CTLD enables helicopter crews to transport troops, deploy FOBs, sling-load crates, operate JTACs, and much more — all driven by an F10 menu and a modular Lua v2 engine.

Quick links

• Pilot Guide — operate CTLD from the cockpit (F10 menu)
• Mission Maker Guide — configure CTLD in your mission
• Developer documentation — architecture, subsystems, events, build & test

Installation

1. Download CTLD.lua from the releases page.
2. Add a MISSION START → DO SCRIPT FILE trigger in the DCS Mission Editor pointing to CTLD.lua. CTLD runs on its built-in defaults — nothing else is required.
3. To customise anything, download ctld-tools.exe from the same release, adjust the configuration in your browser and let it inject a CTLD_userConfig.lua trigger before the CTLD.lua one — see Configure with ctld-tools.

Compatibility

• DCS World (any map)
• Lua 5.1 (DCS sandbox)
• No MIST dependency required
