Add me to that team!

Greatly appreciate all the feedback on what map to use. About to push out a test flight video over Guam in the Cayuse. I have moved the FOB's down to Guam. Tested the Phantom, 104, and F-5 as well. They work and look good. In short, we have a very long way to go bringing ITJ to the WW2 map, but had a good convo with Kandy today. Look forward to keeping everyone up to speed.

Gents, downloaded the updated mod today but for some reason, had a hell of time finding the new additions. Where are they located in the ME? I checked under statics.

For future reference to all who might be running into the same issue, we will be pulling these boats. They do not add to any gameplay value other than aesthetics at this time. We will wait for the Vietnam War Vessels crew to start adding riverine units to their pack so it eliminates these issues. Also glad to see some feedback on keeping ITJ on its current map.

Devil 505 replied to plusnine's topic in Flyable/Drivable Mods for DCS World
Could not agree more!!! What a great catch my friend! @Wags @NineLine Wags/Ninline, how do you guys decide what to pick for incorporating a free aircraft to entice future players? We have The T-51 and Frogfoot. The A-4C would be a slam dunk to get people interested in Naval Aviation. It would also give the team access to the SDK I am assuming? -
@Hammer1-1 @NRG-Vampire Gents, I am going to pull an early father Christmas here for both of you. You are both clearly passionate about aviation and particularly the Cobra. That is a great thing. You should both appreciate your enthusiasm to debate the accuracy of this free mod, but let's not turn this into a bar fight for such a silly debate. Shake hands and both of you look forward to this coming out. I would hate to see the ED team come in and crash the party because this convo goes off in the weeds. What I think would be awesome is if you 2 tag up when this is released and take turns in the pilot and gunner seat. I would donate $10 to hear the video debate in cockpit. LOL

I have heard this on numerous occasions. I have to put the video together yet, but these were 2 of the several suggested riverine boats I was going to suggest the VWV guys made. I would much rather see these tied into their mod under one hat than having to go locate and keep up with an individual mod. I will get a video out soon to VWV team, but I know they are currently focused on AI aircraft (AWESOME and support this!) Looks like the future of the mod is healthy and would be wiling to bet we might see them down the road in the mod. Appreciate the kind words. I was curious how many others might miss the fighters. I would agree with you Kandy, Zipper and I spent most our time in the weeds with the helos or the Bronco. I was on Voodoo's server one time and they were rockin the F-5's. I feel like I flew the Phantom the most because its my baby, but I could see the WW2 map without it. To Kany's point though, there is TON of scripting on his end if we were to do that. I am going to bait him into flying guam with me on the WW2 map and get his opinion, but it is to early to make promises yet. Appreciate and encourage all the feedback the community can give. Anytime! You can add the aircraft to the WW2 map but the runways were small and meant for WW2 aircraft, not jets. You do not have a true paved runway which to me would absolutely kill the immersion. That said, not for the C-130, Bronco, or in the future, the Skyraider. Those could all fly from dirt fields. To my knowledge, there is no way to add trees. Years and years ago I vaguely remember someone turning the Caucus trees into Jungle trees. I am not sure how they did it but I think that mod dies many moons ago.

Much appreciated and greatly appreciate the kind words of support. Kandy and I have been tossing the decision around to stick with the modern-day Marianas or the WW2. Just flew Guam for a decent amount of time to test it out. Seems like there is a lot more jungle down there. I would love to hear from the community. What feels more like the Jungle? What we have done with the modern-day Marianas or the way the WW2 map looks? Downsides to the WW2 version is it limits us from ground fixed wing like the Phantom or F-5. We can get the Bronco out there for sure, but any fighter/bomber will be difficult with WW2 fields.
-
Hell yes it will make us happy!!!!! Hopefully not to much of a huge request here. Any way we can get some perimeter razor or barb wire static assets? I can use what ED has now, but it requires the purchase of the WW2 asset pack. I would much rather see some in your pack so I can start adding it around the FOB's. This way the community is not force to purchase the WW2 stuff just for that. I welcome any static or AI stuff. You guys are crushing it!

We lost Zipper a few weeks back to an illness that finally caught up with him. Prior to losing our dear friend, I started working on creating a new experience on the Marianas WW2 map. Kandy and I are very much still into DCS but through the trials of life and the chaos of work, we have been away for a few months. I think it's safe to say we have sunset ITJ and are looking to new horizons. The new WW2 Marianas map has a lot better performance, and I have some ideas to streamline the quantity of mods if we start working another similar ITJ experience. I would like to reduce the number of mods used so it is not so performance heavy but allows the same feeling of ITJ. I have built up a test in the video below to see how performance is. So far, I am very impressed. I am targeting the Vietnam War Vessels pack @TeTeT, the Vap Pack @Eight Ball, and Eight Balls Maritime asset pack. We would also include the Bronco, Cayuse, and ViolentNomads AH-1G Cobra when its released. Kandy and I have a way to go before we push a new ITJ out, but I will go out on a limb and say our Vietnam experience is not going anywhere. I will continue to fly ITJ, and we plan on adding the Cobra when she is released. It will take some time, but flow with us and I will continue to push out info as we progress forward. Recently the Hornet has been calling us, so we might be distracted for a bit, but Vietnam and our ITJ child is not going anywhere. The Jungle and CSAR always pull us back. I think I speak on behalf of our late friend Zipper and Kandy, we greatly appreciate the support of the community and providing such an experience to all of you. More to come friends.

LOVE IT! I will send you gents some good reference material. There is a book out there by Squadron Publications that is a must for you guys.
-
Just to confirm, that was a stock DCS Cobra in my video, not VN's AH-1G yet. Waiting on it to be though!

Finally got the video knocked out. This is a combination of the VWV pack @TeTeT, VAP pack @Eight Ball, Eightball Maritime Pack, and in game massun92 @Massun92 addons. I will be adding @ViolentNomad Cobra to the map when it is released. Dropped some of his latest images in the video. I would like to do a follow up video with some suggestions for future Vietnam content for both TeTeT and EightBall. There are some really unique Riverine boats out there that I would like to see added to your packs if possible. Hope you like what is in the oven. Time stamps added, the video is a little lengthy demonstrating some low-level flight and how well the map handles it. Greatly appreciate all 3 mod devs and everything you bring to the table. The Vietnam vibe would not be alive in DCS without you gents tearing it up.
