Quick question guys- In CA/JTAC I can be heard by aircraft but cannot receive any aircraft transmission. Anyone advise on what may be the problem? LOS is not an issue

I can honestly say I would rather just pay something up front for any release, as a third party product, than get a free deal and then pay for other features later. I don't think the latter is as practical and even if what you intitially release is FC3 level I would still gladly pay a fair price for that. Even though full fedility is my favorite, I would like to see more FC3 level aircraft explored particularly by a 3rd party (which would be a first)

No problem! Hope you enjoy it- we will have other versions down the road :)

Morkva_55- That SU is looking AWESOME! Can't wait to fly!

Single submissions are just fine, as voting will be held for each teams skin, with all skins submitted for each airframe! That is one AWESOME looking skin! Excellent work!!!

новое оружие должно работать как старый HOT3 из-за ограничений, но я до сих пор думаю, что они весело что картина не от вас правильно? мод не должен выглядеть, что они должны быть в правильном положении Glad you like the mod! As you know DCS is about realism and even though we've tried to make a plausible mod here I wouldn't expect such things to be added into the sim, none the less I do enjoy making mods like this and we will keep it updated as much as possible!

Hi guys, Really sorry- dunno what was wrong with the dropbox link! That was my first attempt at releasing something in JGSME format but since I can't fix that file from work I just changed a link to a regular folder download. If someone would like to convert it to JGSME and post it up that would be great, otherwise I will try to correct it when I get back from work tonight. Thanks!

Creativity is certainly encouraged, perhaps if you add an abbreviated symbol on the plane could you provide a full logo with your submission to be used as well? Really the main thing that needs to appears is the "Team Tiger" or "Team Fishbed" titles.

Awesome submission! Hope to see more guys, I know that myself and Cobra847 with LNS were really keen on this idea and this being how we get our skins for round 3!

Hey guys! Poly_Roie and myself are glad to report our Gazelle Weapons upgrade is released! See this thread :) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=175353

Uscreen shot windows 7 FT. RUCKER, Alabama. (Army News Service, Oct. 8, 1992) – Gen. Richard A. Cody, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, and Joe RedCloud, a chief of the Baachinena Northern Arapaho Tribe, Arapaho Nation, accepted the Army’s first OH-16 Arapaho Light Attack & Reconnaissance Helicopter in a ceremony held here today. “The Light Observation/Attack Helicopter– from concept development to material fielding to rapid deployment – is not only serving as a catalyst for change across the Army, it is also accelerating the speed of Army aviation modernization and integration with other services.” said Cody. Hello DCS Fans! Forgive the dramatic announcement above, but I thought it would be fun to create one of many possible backstories for this mod! In partnership with Poly_Roie of Polychop Simulations, I am proud to present version 1.0 of the Gazelle Weapon Expansion Mod! This mod is aimed at a believable "what if" type of scenario were the Gazelle was expanded to use weapons of fictional host countries, such as the USA, Israel or others. This mod adds the following capabilities to the Gazelle: SA342M -4 to 8 AGM-114 Hellfire Missiles (Outer stations 1 & 2 only) -6 to 12 VIKHR ATGMs (Outer stations 1 & 2 only) -4 to 8 BGM-71 TOWS -Lau 7 Smoke rockets -FAB-100 Bombs (all stations) -SAB-100 Flares (all stations) SA342L -M151 Hydra Rockets x 19, HE -M151 Hydra Rockets x 19 WP -S-8 Series rockets -UB-32 Rocket pods SA342 Mistral (Positioning of these stores may have some clipping, and this is meant to be mostly for fun :) -AIM-9X -Magix II -R-60M -R-73 Additional goodies: U.S. Army OH-16 Arapaho Livery (Thanks to Skyknight) FALCON Defense Livery (Fictional Defense Security Contractor) All of the above weapons are FULLY FUNCTIONAL. The new air to ground weapons took a lot of work and tweaking to not only position so they looked right but edit into were they would guide and hit reliably. We can't promise the missiles will always function perfectly but within about 3 degrees left and right of the nose (like the standard TOWS) and about 6 degrees below the nose, within 4500 Meters, you will get solid hits. Remember as these are modded weapons bound by the hard coded limitations of the Gazelle we cannot reach out to the full real world ranges of weapons like the Hellfire and Vikhr, but they are very useful with the 4500M range. We mod is an ongoing project for us so feel free to report issues here in the thread and we will keep at improving this as much as possible! We felt we reached a point were the missiles were reliable enough to expand the Gazelle's abilities in a fictional but believable manner, so we have pushed this release! To fire the weapons you'll need to remember the following: 1. Arm the weapon system like always 2. Select the proper store- you can release weapons repeatedly from the same station until that station is depleted 3. Take aim and release the weapon- remember slewing the Hellfire or Vikhr more than needed can waste energy as they do not have a long egnine burn quite like the TOWs. 4. Keep in mind you can only guide one weapon at a time, so hit your target or wait for impact before releasing another weapon 5. Watch the target go BOOM! *Note- weapons like rockets or bombs will still require Launch Authorization for the TV Command box before you can release, so hit the recenter button before dropping! I've tried to set this mod up in JGSME compatible format, let me know if you guys have any issues. For those not using JGSME just unzip the mod into your DCS World root folder and make sure it overwrites. BACKUPS ARE RECOMMENDED!!!

Excellent! Can't wait to see it!

Outstanding work! We reallg appreciate your submission and hope to see more entries!

Along with the weight- we are trying to add the option for special variants of the weapons for the Gazelle that will simulate lighter weight hardware to facilitate light helicopter mounting. Either way you shouldn't have too much trouble! We are limiting it to 8 Hellfires total with outer pylon mounting, as we feel more than that, like Poly said, is not realistic. Got a few more nuts to crack then we will get this thing out on a dedicated thread! We are planning on pushing out a JGSME version

Not at my home PC but if you got this working in the latest thanks! This was an upcoming project but I'm knee deep in others LOL.

Thanks guys- working on it more but I will release something before long!

Hey guys, We are still working on the mod- Poly_Roie has been awesome to work with and I really appreciate him imparting wisdom! He and I hope to have something we can push out soon- just testing and modding weapons :) Here are a couple more screens with liveries I plan on including in the package :) As you guys can see as of these screen shots we have custom re-positioned each store so that it fits correctly and looks good (no clipping) without interfering with the positions or use of the original HOT3s! The two birds show here have Hellfires & HYDRA Smoke rockets for marking targets in a AFAC role! First the fictional Army OH-16 Arapaho (If the U.S. Army had adopted the Gazelle like it has the UH-72 Lakota by Airbus image upload no limit Second the fictional Defense Services Security Contractors Gazelle (Think Blackwater) image hosting over 5mb Credit to SkyKnight over at BKS for some of the skin elements and work on the Air Cav skin!

Thank you, Javelina! And so it begins :) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=175078 Still working on the thread- I will get screenshots and other info up soon!

Hey I was actually thinking the same thing- for what it is worth while I am at it I can bundle up some JGSME Workd War 2 theme packages, and maybe Modern Naval unit packages if you guys would like! I was also going to offer permenant file hosting for you guys via my Dropbox for you gents as well so you don't have to use Mediafire unless you wanted to I was also planning on putting screen shots and dates of last tested with version 1.5 or 2.0 version X So we can track compatibility. I'm sort of a weird complitionist/OCD type so this is right up my alley lol!

You know- this has me wondering... If the Aim-120 will correctly guide as long as the MiG 21 has a lock, would the same occur if I put them on F-5s? My guy says no because the MiG 21s radar is actually coded to guide weapons on some level wheras the F-5s is advisory only... If it did work though it would be pretty insane. I'll try that tonight

Yea! That's it. Agreed- they should not use the same sound. The action time, impulse and rate of fire for those two weapons systems are very different, but the Devs have a very full work plate! I think it just might be possible to change the sounds the aircraft use- I'll be working on that tonight so I will report back

Hey guys As I learn to mod I tried my hand at some sound work. Being a U.S. Army Infantryman I love booms and explosions, so I decided to give the Gazelle cannon some love. My issues with the original sound were the impulse and action time did not seem to match the rate of fire of the cannon, and the sound had a bit of a pop and a short loop. This is my work in progress so far. I actually put together the interior sound by clipping down each shot in an audio mastery program and assembled them together against a slow video clip of the cannon firing, so the fire rate should match. External sound is a place holder Plan is to learn here and eventually branch out to other aircraft and sim effects, and maybe offer a nice beefy upgrade mod one day with lots of ear candy Let me know your thoughts!

It's on my to-do list :) will post when updated

Hey man, just FYI the in cockpit sound for the MiG 21 as of the latest build can be modded- for some reason it shares the same sound file as the Gazelle! I will post the exact file location today. I know because I was modding the Gazelle cannon sound and noticed the MiG used the same one.

Excellent! I'll get on that tomorrow and have it up ASAP in the mods section Thanks, credit will clearly be given to you of course :)
