Joey45 is developing it. I've been helping with some of the coding. There is a thread for it here but I believe the work in progress build is only posted on his discord. So you may have to ask him for an invite. I need to send him my latest build, but he may have already fixed/updated some of the stuff I've done. I'm not sure if he has a release date in mind.

I ran a quick landing test and got some strange results. The stock F-18Cmod20 turned on final then "waved off" for no reason. Having not seen that before I tried a Mod aircraft and it landed fine????? It's possible my F-18 is messed up after I botched up restoring the Superbug mod after updating, lol but I'll post an updated Ford soon and make sure landing at least 8 planes is working.

I'll check landing and take offs. They were working. There was a parking issue when landing a lot of planes. I forget where it goes wrong but it was after 10 or so planes. My attempts to fix the parking without the carrier plug in only made things worse, lol.

The RIM-162D SAMs work great. It's only the shorter range RAM-116 that have an issue.

I was able to load the Ford Mod as it was posted here and it showed in game just fine. I tested the SAMs and the RAM missiles seem to splash into the ocean most of the time. But I'm seeing the same issue with the RAMs on stock ships and even Mods with custom RAM-116 missiles. Has anyone else noticed this? I know a recent update did cause issues with some ships not showing in game. I believe it was certain aircraft Mods causing the problem. ED did release a "Hotfix" that seemed to clear up the issue for many. My recent test had most of CH's latest mod installed and a few other ship/aircraft mods as well. As I add more stuff back in I'll keep an eye on the Ford and see if I encounter any issues.

Yeah, It's most likely a weapons conflict. I know the last update or two caused some issues. I generally only worry about conflicts with CH's and Admiral's Mods as far as other mods go. I've had the Ford mod on hold until the carrier plug in for model viewer is working again. It's such a pain doing the runway script without it.

No but there have been a few updates since it was posted. I was planning on taking a look at the Mod this weekend so I'll see what's up.

I remember that clip vividly. So cool to know the history behind it.

Nice And thank you.

Seriously guys, If you let me go last I can make it

Not seen that in the reference materials But yes most of that is what's listed is in available data. Pictures are the best reference for what did actually fly. Custom UK bombs, AS.37 and AJ.168 missiles have been done so far. Others seen in the video are just placeholders for development right now.

The Carrier Hermes has been released in both Catapult and Ski Jump versions. Although I think only the Ski Jump version is currently available in the DCS user files. R 38 Victorious also shown is currently in development as well. As for the futures of the Carries as well as the Buccaneer I would recommend keeping an eye on the forums, discord and patience Not that I'm aware of.

Blackburn Buccaneer in development. Work in progress. No release date. But I was told it's ok to show some clips from recent testing. Enjoy

Progress

No problem. It's how we all (ok most) got a start with modding

They should work as well. At least in most cases. Sometime an adapter/rack is used for a weapons and that can complicate things. Make sure all commas and brackets are correct. But yes, it can take a bit of trial and error and sometimes thing will not work

You can open/edit lua files with note pad but many recommend notepad++

That should be possible. Open the aircraft lua file of each plane and take a look. You will see the code for the "pylons" and the the code for each weapon. Then copy and paste the weapons you want. Do keep in mind these are core game files and your "mod" will be undone with each up. BUT DCS should move you modded files to a back up folder so to restore you mod after an update you shouldn't have to start from scratch. But back up you original files first and good luck.

There is a Mig-17 in the VWV mod that is coming along nicely. But yes, the CWA mod will be nice with the Germany map. And any new assets Tripod can come up with

Thank you. And yes I will be redoing the hatch animations at some point and I will included the rear hatch Unfortunately the way the current version is coded it is impossible to to add gear or get it to operate on land.

There is. I know what it is, I just have to figure out how to do it now.. Thank you and please stand by......... Planning on including the 2nd unfinished "Rescue" variant in the next update once I fix the texture issue.

@tripod3 If you meant the Lun Mod yes, the missile are working. See new thread.

Which Mod?

There is one catch. I've not resolved the texture conflict with the "Cold War Asset Mod". I have identified the problem and hope to have fixed soon. So for early access you have 3 options; 1. Remove the CWA mod. Not the best option I know. 2 Use included "fix" texture B-29.zip that only "breaks" CWA TU-4 and Tu-16 in CWA Mod(they will have missing textures) (Please read the read me file) 3 Keep full CWA mod and ignore funky Lun Class textures. Adding livery helps a bit. So if you can manage one of those options here's the current state of the Mod. All weapons work. Although aft turret may have tracking issues. Model animations are a bit crude. Only weapons are animated. No flight surfaces or engines yet. Wake effect not quite right. No engine exhaust. Can be sunk but there are no damage textures. Fire/smoke effects may sometimes be out of position. 3 units MD-160, MD-161 and MD-162. No in "game differences" other than unit names. For testing/development. ME list names start with "Project 903". Only available to Russia, I might have added "USSR" Livery folders are setup but no liveries are included yet. All unit use default textures. (Only MD-160 has Texture file added to livery folder) Simple but IMPORTANT "How to pilot an ekranoplan" read me file included. Install in Tech folder. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/461ixk7jjeaxpa8ekn5zv/Lun-EA-V1.zip?rlkey=qfnmuh7lw29zwamb87um3idtn&st=4wl6w07j&dl=0
