Heya everyone. Sorry for not updating this topic for the longest of times. AFK life too busy at the moment due change in service location and current events. But please, feel free to pick up the project. Model is 95% ready (to my standards at least). I attached the blender model and 2D drawings to this post. Feel free to use the model in any way You like. Take this post as open license to this model. I hope that someone could pick this up. Nansen_v3.blend

Thank You Sir. I have a hunch that most of the weapon systems are already modeled one way or another: OTO Melara 76 mm (Used also in Fremm, Sachsen) RIM-162 ESSM (Evolved Seasparrow) Naval Strike Missile (NSM) (Arleigh Burke) 12.7 mm Browning M2HB 7.62mm MG 3 LRAD and torps are not modeled propably

So this lady: And this:

Heya Everyone As the Kola map was released, I started to create a campaign (planning to release it also public) for choppers(for AH64, OH-58D at first + maybe some others too later). For this campaign, I need support ship + some more local equipment, so I started to model Nansen frigate and Skjold corvette. First question: Someone already modeling these? Before I go too much forward? Second question: I can handle the modeling side, but for defining the weapon systems in DCS, I may require some help. Any good templates for ships or any help to convert the 3D model to DCS Mod? I will publish any models I create for everyone and use in any way You like. I dont mind. I will post the Blender model too after I get something more done if someone wants to polish the model.

Heya everyone. Flying helos with simulated "trim" is something I have never got used to, It just feels wrong. I prefer flying with dead-stick (like R44 with hydraulics) if no options. To solve this, I created a test solution to my old rig below with some 3d printing, 4 steel bars and some neodymium magnets: Long story short, amount of magnets define the resistance/clutch while lubricated steel bars slide on top of each other. Having two "dampers" pointing to corners of the pedestal reduces the uneven resistance, which is the common problem with e.g. Virpil and VKB bases/clutches. After ~1 month testing, works like a charm. If You want to replace the constant resistance with AFCS (like in Sikorsky helos), replace the magnets with 12v electromagnets (take power from one USB) and create one switch to Your cyclic that cuts the circuit. Tadaa, button trim. This is what I am building to my main rig currently. Really odd first post I hope this gives ideas to others. Fly safe.
