Yes..

Is there any way to disable wave effect when submarines are submerged?

In fact for the moment I'm not in need of any weapon as the default ones can be used. What I'm seeking is knowledge especially on animations and some other sections as damage textures (before total destruction) on specific areas ... etc These are the ship specs anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra-class_frigate

Ok, coming from a sandbox community in ArmA (as stated), I am used to sharing modding info with other mod developers. Now, since there is not a single answer to my query, I guess one of the following is true: Either nobody but 3rd party devs are privy to game modding, or nobody wants to share info. Which is kinda weird, but hey, I guess every community has its own rules. Perhaps it is a money thing, maybe someone is afraid of DCS becoming open source-ish like BMS if modding is encouraged. FYI, ArmA did not hurt from mods, it soared. Anyways, pardon my blabbering, back to unlocking more modding secrets… Have a good one. btw ... no intension to offend anyone ... thanks.

ok nevermind ... I found myself what I have to do for my mod ... not everything yet but close enough.

Hi all, after 20 years of modding in ArmA series game, I've decided to continue importing my work here in DCS. So I've started by a Ship (a MEKO-200HN Frigate). Looking on forums here I'm trying to gather knowledge of what I need to do in order to have this Ship working (by AI) in game ... but what I found are just scattered infos for several things without any decent tutorial to explain step by step the procedure. By now I have my model working in game with some animations (propellers - radars) but still can't figure out about weapons animations plus make them fire. I have the animations set as described by some users here, but even if working into ModelViewer, they don't into game (at least as should). The animations I'm interested, have to do with Ship main cannon, VLS, Harpoon launcher, Torpedo tubes and CIWS ... Notice that I'm still on digging for such things and my knowledge is limited and btw I'm using 3DS MAX 2022. Any help would be much appreciated. P.S. excuse my English as are not my native language. P.S.2 please let me know if more details needed by my side.

Yes I'm sure that there are great modders out there and if I'll ask for help they will be do their best on it ... but what I'm talking about is a more organized forum structure for each category (aircrafts - ships - ground vehicles - etc) which will be more easily accessible by anyone has a question about something specific. Also I've already read most of the documentary provided in here and mentioned discord, but still there is a huge luck of information about (for example) ships ... Anyway I'll stuck with current forum form and start asking more specifically about my modding issues. Thanks guys.

Hi there, I'm recently coming from another sim game (ArmA3) on which I'm one of the more active modders there. I'll not say if I'm good or bad, but I'm modding there for about 20 years (3d models + textures + coding). ok enough for me ... My question here is, why the community doesn't share all info needed about modding ... and I'll explain (btw no offence to anyone as I'm dealing just 6 months with DCS) ... Looking on forum, I found several simple tutorials for setup and importing aircrafts, as also static things ... which is fine for this game, but still luck of info exists for naval assets (which I believe are also crucial asset for the game). Maybe I'm wrong (so please forgive me) but, as community, willing to improve this game, we have to share our knowledge, under a "simple and understandable" way for other users, in order to have more and more mods in game. Anyway ... I hope that you understand my point and excuse me for any English language issues as is not my native language. Also keep in mind (again) that I have no intention to insult anyone in case I'm wrong on any of my written thoughts. Thanks for your attention guys.
