I REALLY Appreciate it! Looks great! (As Always!)

Hey Joey your Rework of the Tech Building is a blessing and am not sure if you are still actively modding right now, so I hope all is well for you! P.S. Any chance you might be working on improving the Workshop next?

I cant wait to get my hands on this aircraft!! But, I am happy to hear the Tornado is coming along still as well! Both aircraft will compliment DCS Cold War Era perfectly and both are Day-1 Purchases/Downloads from me lol.

I am loving the skins! Keep up the awesome work!! Cant wait!

Well you should be ableto set the fire mission just like he showed and then allow the script to run it at a specific time or condition. You can do this by adding a Trigger.. Unless you mean something else.. As for CA probably a little more difficult to implement.. But, Idk for sure.

Just so you know in the mean time HDS (High Digit Sams Mod) has the BuK-M1/2 (SA-17) and it works and looks great. Not on par with the looks of CH's stuff but still very well done.

"There we go again. But the very funny of this is that many people repeat everywhere that funny invention. With MiG-29 they were telling the same every where and every time." Do you actually have quotes? Screens? Ect? of this claim? Because literally the only thing I have ever read (From ED officially) is literally what I just quoted above. As for MiG-25 vs. MiG-31 thr Russian Ministry I do believe did not distinguish between the two atleast in the legal sense of the laws they implemented in recent years.. It may even be a pre-caution just to be safe. I much rather ED practice what they do best while also respecting the laws of those aircrafts Origins and more so to prevent any issue preventing ED from operating in general.. If any Third party feels confident enough to write the respective officials for permission and can obtain it I think that would be the best route to go.. But that is my opinion.. No one wants to see Multiple Models of MiG-29's and 25/31's than myself ESPECIALLY the Su-25 and her variants... Side Note, any Aircraft captured from ANY nation again does not mean it would be legal for them to utilize that information obtained if the Government of Origin does not give the Ok.. If a F-35 is captured from a foreign government and put everything online that would not mean ED would have the legal ability to utilize that information.. Just not how it works..

No, That is not how this works again as explained many times from ED that ANY aircraft the Russian Defense Currently use including The MiG-25 no matter the variant or where it is exported could and highly likely will cause legal issues. The ONLY reason the MiG-29A is even coming to us is because they had gotten prior approval before the law changes occured and probably got the go ahead from the proper channels. This is been stated afaik multiple times.

Are you using track IR or anything similar? Possibly even Discord in the background? You have to change the Keys on Trackir App if they are being used in Game or DCS wont recognize it at all even if it is Binded.. Same if its mapped in Discord I do believe..

I think this Mod looks and works Great... Except, the props as they seem to be rather low contrast and almost invisible from most angles.. I know that they have the bug on the ground but I mean even when spinning they seem like they maybe have no contrast or real reflections on them? Idk hard to describe..

Could also be possible it has to do with the Reflection of the material (object) as well even? Ive seen similar mods have somewhat blue shadowing or reflections off of them in the past..

If you put in the correct folder it should show up under static objects with the letters TPP in front of each object name..

I am no expert but I do know that any server operating a mission with mods must have those mods supported (Downloaded on to the Server Computer) as well for them all to work. MY guess would be because the mission includes an A-4E-C Mod as the base game does not actually support it then the Miz file is having trouble working as it is looking for that Mod...

1. Research and Watch or Read some Mission Making Tutorials so you can actually learn how to use the Mission Editor Properly. You can as well always Buy/Download other Missions that people have made. Same for Campaigns. You can also go through the included Quick Missions or Training Missions especially for the F-18C. 2. Like stated above there are mods available which you can find in this forum and downlaod and implement. You may even get better FPS with some. Although Caucasus Map is Older as stated it actually has recently been improved and brought up almost to the New Gen standard. If you want the Best "Eyecandy" then use the included free Marianas Map which uses the latest and greates Map Generation. Syria and Sinai are Incredible as well but you will need to buy those. 3. As for Ships you can easily find in the Assets Mods section of the Forums TONS of very Beautiful ships from Admirals thread. He is probably the most skilled in this category of DCS as of now. Here is a link to his Ship Mods https://sites.google.com/view/admiral189dcsworldmods/warships You can also download different Livery's for most Vessels and even Vehicles that are included in DCS and some of these Liverys really improve the look of everything. 4. DCS is not in same category as WT in anyway.. DCS is a very unique and the Learning Curve is big. It takes most users Years to really learn to utilize everything DCS has to offer and the Mission Making abilities are second to none in my opinion. But, if you take a little bit of time to Learn it makes all the difference. Some videos are heavily edited to and refined post production to make DCS look even better but DCS is on its own fairly beautiful for what its built for and offers. You are meant to be spending more time Above the Map then actually on it and the size of the Maps in comparison to something like WT is magnitudes larger just go check out the South Atlantic map for yourself or the Marianas even... If these maps were detailed to scale perfectly no PC in the world would get above 5fps lol but as the game evolves and the Tech available gets better things will continue to improve and change. Come back in another 2-3 or 5 years if you like..

Just putting this out here as this MAY possibly be related to this issue as well.. But, only way to test would be to roll back to 2.8 unfortunately. Also, I know you tried with a back-up throttle but might see if clearing old Keybinds in the Saved Games folder and resetting them might help again the work of resetting them would suck but never know.. Oh, one last edit! Could you try another video but this time bring up the Controls Indicator to see if your bindings match 1:1 (Right Cntrl + Enter) ?

Yup, I was going to say I think you may want to check the elevations of the Vehicle and the Targets as this does impact the ability to fire at them both Min and Max ranges. One thing DCS does well is pay attention to the details.. Hehe. Try testing further North in the Caucauses map where the land is way flatter. Should be able to have the proper ranges then.

Yea, I realized a bit after that it was the 700 Series you guys were talking about but figuring how old this card is as well I figured I would be running into some similar issues soon. Just holding out until Tax season as I plan on finally replacing this old potato lol. Hopefully, holds out until then!

I too have a GTX 970 but I have not run into this issue myself.. So, it could bea combination of CPU and GPU maybe? But, just wanted to point that out.. HOpe you guys get it worked out!

Only one question. Is there a way to remove the baked in reflections on the cockpit? I know there is a fix for the A-10A but idk if or how it would work with this model...

Not sure if this is a possible Bug or not but figured I would post this here.. The Type-59 does not seem to have Secondary Ammo (Reserve Ammo) like the Type-55 Russian Counterpart.. I would not think this to be logical but maybe I am wrong? Anways, wanted to point it out.. Thanks!

Well, as much as I stand corrected I would not call it a deep dive insight as I was relaying MY understanding at the time of how you implement the models into DCS. Understandably with the number of Assets ou must maintain at any given time the amount of code is absolutely more than just a bit but I think that was more of an understatement on my end as being far from the average or typical modder that you are I can imagine the ones who have less than a handful of Asset specific mods under their belts probably dont typically accumalate that kind of coding. Such as using weapons that are already available in DCS and getting them to work with something seperate or let alone improving on the models that are already in existince in DCS. As for FM, my thought process was more for those of Flyable Mods and the tweaking required even of the SFM there is always tweaking required. But, my point was not to insult here as much as it was to explore ones options into jumping in to modding themselves as well to understand that the process goes both ways and excuse my sarcasm for much of what it was.. Just That. Side Note - The amount of requests you get is beyond anything I feel most would be comfortable receiving but I feel people should understand that you are not a Machine that just spits stuff into existance 24/7 LoL. Hopefully, I explained myself a bit better and thank you for the insight.

Currenthill buys pre made 3D models which is entirely different concept than building them from scratch as ED has to do with their models as far as I understand. That is how CH is able to pump them out so quickly. All he has to do is a bit of coding to add the weapons models correctly and tweak the basic FM of stuff. What you could do instead is request CH to buy and implement 3d mods of those aircraft for AI and put it in DCS if all you want is visual improvement. Or buy them and implement them yourself. But, you wont have access to the AI and advanced FM stuff to make them true ED quality.

I know.. This came out several months after my post. It definetly was needed and I am glad that it got made in such a way to be modular that was a smart move!

+1 for the Adams Class

Now and days probably NASAMS and possibly a couple C-RAMS or other Similar European systems..
