Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

Yeah, a squadron might just do that if they were packaged in a more consumable way. @currenthill - if you define "redistribution" here as a squadron using your mods as part of squadron-specific mod packs, please say so and we will stop using them. -

How do you think mods are handled in a squadron such that everyone has the exact same mods, and the exact same versions - by instructing each member to go find & download them individually? Keep in mind that these aren't the only mods that are going to get used. 46 Gb is hardly a compromise if only a few things from each pack are needed. Tying them up in giant packages and deliberately making it impossible to separate them is just a bad choice for good mods. -

I think that's the wrong direction. Dude, they are great mods but nobody wants to curate and distribute 75Gb of stuff among a squadron if only a few items from each are going to get used. -

Does anyone have a guide or recipe for extracting or separating out 1 or 2 specific mods out of a large pack (e.g. Russia) like these? -

Whatever long range missiles Iran and it's Hizb'allah proxies have, that's the launcher and systems I want most. These are great for deep strike missions for anything from F-15SE's to Hornets, A-10's or (of course) attack helicopters. It's important that they work with both CA and script control as most advanced users will be deploying them in a more dynamic way rather than hardcoding fire orders via the ME. Since we're using so many of your most excellent mods, CH - We are happy to offer to help test the full spectrum of anything we're likely to use. CA, Script (MOOSE/ARTY), & multiplayer. -

No brother, that's not what I'm referring to at all. I'll explain a little better. The way we use this (and mortars) is that a lift helicopter transports those assets to a drop zone where they are in range of the target. In this case, the gun is deployed via CTLD (or slingloaded there). Some distance away, an observation helicopter (SA342, OH-58D) spots a target, calls that pilot on the ground near the gun and provides coordinates. That pilot (who has combined arms) goes to ground idle, hits the F10 map, clicks our M77 unit and sees this: null They then pick "ADD TARGET" and move the mark to the coords I provided: null They send those rounds and the helicopter spots the impacts, adjust as needed or call the fire mission complete. What I want to be able to do is modify the mod so that the guided shells are either: 1 - The only ordnance this gun can fire, at any distance. 2 - Available at a much shorter range (configurable in the lua) than 30km. I hope that explains it better. /Fargo -

I'm sorry, I mean in a more dynamic way, like controlling them with CA, or via scripts. -

Really great job on these new additions man. I do have a question - With the M777, is there a way to tune or modify the range at which the unit decides to fire a guided round instead of the regular HE? Or if I wanted this unit to ONLY fire the guided rounds, but at any legitimate distance for it for instance. -
The 430 it appears, should support MGRS. This would be awesome if that end of it could be made to work in the sim. Thank you!

Renewing the Sa342 Gazelle call here. Both US and EU platoons are now OPEN. We are getting it done with all variants of the Gazelle big time, so come check us out.

Guys, check SLmod. It has it's own ping-kicking logic.

Nvm, I figured it out. It has to be a single unit group, then it will fire.
-
Seems like they don't want to fire under any circumstances. I mean, that's smart for survivability, but still.

Thanks to the new updates from Polychop, BSD's US/Canada SA342 Gazelle platoon is open again. We fly all variants of the gazelle across the entire menu of mission roles it can occupy. Recon, Light Attack, Escort, COIN, Anti-Armor, FAC(A), Calling in Artillery, and using the helicopter and everything it's capable of doing. If you can fly this helicopter with a decent degree of skill and racing around in the chicken leg and working with others in a PvE environment that leans into milsim is your thing, come on out.

In-Game Scratchpad Mod Available - Works Great In VR!

If you could provide a breakdown of what the code is doing (or richly comment it showing where the different numerical values are coming from and what they do) we might be able to contribute these parts in pull requests.
