Just FYI : https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Oculus-Quest-2-and-Quest/White-horizontal-stripe-across-screen-while-using-link/td-p/848398 I have the same issue too... But not only on DCS, even in oculus home, since last v28.

Well, (soon) being one, that's simple : If law is vague, then it'll be up to the judge to fill the holes... Not sure that ED want's to be this precedent ^^ Don't know what's better. In France technically even datas on the Mystere are still classified... Still we have the Mirage 2000 in DCS. You'll notice that it's nowhere called this way in DCS (M-2000), and Razbam is a foreign company so they probably worked on this to escape legal issues. They may try to do the same with the Kamov.

Could be done yup.

Thank you for this discovery I will put it in for the next version

Hey Though they are low poly as I consider them as "targets", V4 contains : - T-64BV - T-72A/M - T-62 - PT-76 - Sheridan

Perfectly in agreement with everything above

Ehehehehehehehehe I have ouane ! Iran/Irak war, Ah-1 vs Mi-24. Repeated occurences. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Iraq_War See chapter "Differences from other conflicts" And they fought with everything they had : ATGM, canon...... Rockets... Iranians have a very persian sense of humor. I would really like to get a complete explanation on why exactly is there a principle that such thing is impossible. Technically, a tank is not supposed to end shooting at your logistical truc because your truck is working behind your line... Still, it happens quite often because... Because the truck was not at the right place, or the tank, in any case someone fucked up... So why exactly would helicopters in a big war not encounter each other to discuss rotor type superiority ? ^^ I sincerely think that it's a difference between theory and practice. At war, there always is something screwing up. And at an European scale, it would be surprising for it to never happen. At which moment, in a full scale war, can you plan everything in order to make yourself sure to permanently avoid meeting another helo, while they basically share the exact same purpose on both sides, and rely on staying undetected as much as possible to survive ? Very simple Cold war example : Tank assault vs Defense in the Fulda Gap : Apaches/Ah-1/Bo-105/Gazelles supporting their ground defense against a massive Soviet tank assault supported by... Mi-24, Mi-2, Mi-8..... All of them having to get in range of their targets to shoot. Hundreds of helos on both sides, can you really expect fighters to do something about it ? They're already quite busy dodging SAM and engaging with the ENI fighters. Will you be the guy who says "Gosh, they have helicopters, we can't send ours to support our troops." or "Ok lads, the massive tank assault for which we've trained you and built all your helicopters is ongoing, but there are ENI helos and our fighters are struggling with theirs, so stay parked." Does your tank need in order to operate safely to get recon, infantry, A/A defense ? Yes. Is it supposed to operate in solo, against a superior force which can count on a massive air support ? No. Still, ask Wittmann what he thinks about it. Oh wait, he's dead, then read a book about him ^^ Helos, tanks, planes etc, all are expendable. It's not a critic, I'd like to understand cause I don't get it, it's like assuming that your A-10C will never meet a fighter. It's wrong. It MUST NOT meet a fighter. I'm sure everything is made to allow this safety, but can you assume that in real global war, safety will be strong enough as the A/G planes would be the main objective of ENI fighters ? What's even funnier for me is that it's a very French way of thinking : Everything should work as we planned. We thought this way in 1940 ^^ Dieter and Kurt did not agree. Read "The strange defeat" by Marc Bloch, you'll get a nice sample of all the unplanned things which can happen when something screws up. A nice anecdote from this book was a French mobile HQ suddenly facing a french tank column in a village, the french commander gets out from his truck and asks the tank officer to leave place... Before realizing that it's a german, not a french tank. I'm 100% sure that during his war classes, someone told the commander that he would never ever face a tank... Nicolas Note : This considering that both Soviet and NATO ever had the logistical capability to engage in a real Fulda Gap scenario, which I really doubt about.

Hi, Yes I removed the AMX-10RCR part in the manual to focus more on the general pack aspect. IRL 10RCR does not have any kind of stabilizer, and it rocks in every direction like you get, the only electronic part is the thermal camera from the older AMX-30B2, but it doesn't have any kind of targeting computer. I had allowed stab to ease a bit the handling. It's an ambush vehicle, nothing more, though can be quite efficient in some specific scenarios. The sight will be reworked btw. Nicolas

Yup it was not a critic of your mission anyway as you said the most important is having fun.

Well the lethality of HOT against infantry completely varies depending on the ground composition. A crew told us that if shooting at inf on a concrete road for example, the tungsten shatters simply killed or injured everyone in a +-30 m radius, while in sand, it was extremely limited. It's still a near 7kg tandem warhead, it's like getting a TOW exploding near you, you will hardly walk away from it. But there is not any thermobaric variant to it, we don't invest anymore in the HOT since it's undergoing replacement with the MMP. For the "keeping the weaponry for heavier targets part", it's true in heavier war. But in Mali gazelles take off with grand maximum 2 HOT and they simply rarely have better than standard infantry to shoot them. They don't expect to meet a T55 and would it be the case, we would call in for n airstrike. African warfare by France ks extremely different from the one you americans or british get involved in. It's really "old school colonial war", with relatively few men and gear, with very high mobility ( in the first 2 months of mali war, we got 3000 men to cross 3000 km of african territory) . We don't get any heavy tanks for it and a lot of our vehicles are expressly made for them, like the Erc-90 for example and the gazelle actually is used in this philosophy. Our main problem is that the only real attack helo is the tiger but they rarely carry anything else than dumb rockets and their canon. In Libya, there even is a report of a Tiger destroying a pick up with a Mistral anti air missile... Because Tiger only got hellfire qualified in 2019... Why is this so ? Don't know, I would tend to say that just like every other european project, this one is expensive but not that efficient, but it would be my personnal opinion.

It's a joke... Well actually no, it's my personnal vehicle ^^. To be completely transparent about this : I didn't get the liveries to work with this particular paint. I don't know why, which is why desert vesion is a separate version, and well, I then favorized my personnal paint. You too get it for the woodland version, it's the Dimitriov skin. It workef for this one, but not for the desert one...

They do it irl a lot. First casualty in Mali was Damien Boiteux who was commander of a canon gazelle. He attacked infantry and got hit in the leg. IRL they now don't use canon gazelles, they prefer to send a HOT, and canon are retired. It's simply too dangerous for a very relative firepower. Though ofc in DCS I understand that HOT may look a bit oversized, it is too IRL if the ground is hard enough to deviate most of the energy and shrapnel. Juste like the hellfire actually, anti tank missiles have proved themselves to be very efficient against pacs.

Could work with L yes, M would be better though.

Hi, unfortunately I don't work anymore for polychop, I gave them the keys of it and fixing issues relative to the campaign or the gazelle itself should be their job... I got paid once for the campaign (and not a lot ^^), it's been 5 years, if they want it to be fixed it's their responsability I'm afraid... Because it would be countless hours to get it to work properly. Understand that I delivered a completely finished product and maintained it for free during one year, past a moment, I'm not the red cross ^^

This mission is playable in multi player. I'm working on a serie of small missions now which would take place during the Dixmude operation campaign (the official gazelle campaign that I had made for its release). They will be playable up to 12 CA and 4 Sa342, planes being optionnal.

Iglas already were attempted to be modded, including by me. It would require to recode the entire system which is obviously not possible, as the IR guidance "script" does not exist on Ka. You can get Iglas on your helo by editing few luas... But they won't shoot unless you edit them and set the igla sensor to laser guided and not IR, which, basically, means making a vikhr reskin with no use.

I made a complex training mission for the Leclerc. You'll too get familiarized with some specific stuff of the frenchpack

Hi guys So i decided to start to make a lil serie of missions using the Frenchpack. They would be multiplayer compatible. In this serie of missions, you'll have the ability to use a deep variety of unique features like : - Smoke defense systems against AI - Tank shelters building on demand - Repair vehicles via logistics - Layer mines - Ask for illumination flares - Better FLIR - Better UI ... And so on... First one is the "Polygone", which is a complete training ground. You'll learn to man a Leclerc XXI tank in a complex training for shooting on the move (see video below), and many other gameplay particularities only available with this pack. Once this first training known and repeated, you'll be able to get into far more complex missions, in extremely unsafe environments. Mission link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B-JgIQ9HgFdd42qMRkAXi7qGvOukz7RY/view?usp=sharing Simply get ingame, select a tactical commander slot and wait +- 20 seconds, you will get entirely guided by texts all along the mission. Part of the training can be seen demonstrated here : FrenchPack can be downloaded and installed here : Refer to manual for installation, as a combined arms user, you want to install both _CORE and _CA folders.

Check the english manual for info ^^

Hi, this is exactly the same issue as the one I reported yes... It's here for 6 months now . . . .

On my side I'm gonna produce a Leclerc XXI missions serie. (Don't run away yet, read me first lol) First one is already done, I simply have to add texts, and is nothing else than a complete tutorial explaining all the particularities and functions on the vehicle (far more than basic combined arms tanks) with a firing polygon. For me Leclerc is more interesting than others not because it's french but because I was able to code far more gameplay features with FP than on base combined arms (Heat FS shells, working smoke screens, anti personnal grenades defense buble, real optics, armor scheme, better FLIR, better stab, vehicles reparing, mine layering, shelter building, illumination flares on demand etc etc, all these being very intuitive to use (one click, one word) ... Well basically everything CA should do but doesn't) The goal being to set in place a MidCore tank sim instead of well... What we have. @PoorOldSpikeI will set everything in place so you only have to follow a very short guide line per line.

Hi guys so here is the thing. CA community is little. And let's admit that playing our own made scenarios is a bit boring because, you know, there is no real surprise in it. I would like to start sharing some of mines but you would have to download a complete FrenchPack dev version so I guess most of you would not be that interested, though I will upload some in following days anyway. Would some nice people here be kind enough and share some of their missions ? Because from what I see, the sticked thread is dead for a while now. It actually would be great for everyone if we started to do this again. Nicolas

At this size level, nuke her, I don't see anything else

And therefore they would increase mobility and autonomy of their SAM to avoid SEAD, and yadi yada we keep going on... So basically, you come on a BS2 thread, for saying what ? That Russian gear is shitty ? That your national pride is great ? Go open an "America First We're The Greatest Country In the World" thread then... I'm not even Russian, but except feeling insulted for the very numerous technological acheivements they made in 50 years and are still doing nowadays, I don't think your way of speaking would lead to anything.
