Fighter Brief

https://fighterbrief.com/

Fighter Brief is a free-to-use drawing and animation tool designed to effectively illustrate procedures, maneuvers, tactics and troop movements in combat flight simulators. It could also be used for other types of milsim games. The drawing data is stored compactly in the URL, so scenarios can be shared easily.

Examples of usage scenarios include lectures, training, briefings, debriefings and collaborative tactics development.

How to use

Select the object type you would like to place from the toolbar on the left. If the object is a moving unit type, such as an airplane, place it by pressing the left mouse button and drag it along the workspace surface. This will result in the unit moving along the path drawn. To see the animation, press the Play button.

How to share a scenario

Once you have made a change to the current scenario, the URL will be updated. To share a scenario with someone else, simply send them the full URL. They will be able to see the animation, and continue editing it if they wish.

URL shortening

If you create a complex scenario, the URL gets very long. It is therefore recommended to use a URL shortening service. URL shortening will be done for you if you click the "Share" button.
