Du grand art !....

That's indeed the main gap in DCS, considering the amazing aircraft, ships and land units available, with their outstanding weaponary and systems. IMHO, we have currently one of the best DCS software available for complex campains on various theaters. So, let's imagine adding the currently lacking sub power and tactics....

+1 bar...

I totally agree, there is currently no ASW platform at all, sadly. Indeed ASW helos and P-3 Orion would be needed, as well as the missing Breguet Atlantic 2 European aircraft. Not forgetting torpedoes decoy systems onboard the ships.....

Et une "bar" de plus à la "Master & Commander of Textures" !... Bravo Sushy ! Magnifique.

Clearly, nuclear attack subs are a major threat to carrier groups and SSBN. Considering the number of available carriers in DCS, it would probably be quite realistic to have the counter parts under water. Though I agree that this needs correct torpedoes and ASW weapons to be modeled.

I fully agree concerning the escort ships and the subs... Also, ASW seems seriously lacking in DCS.

N'oublions pas que Sushy est "Master and Commander of Textures".... Des discussions sont en cours pour attribuer des "bars" à cette distinction, chacune correspondant à une de ses textures. Le décompte n'est pas encore terminé !... Fly low.... Toan

Awesome liveries Sushy ! Will they be available with the next Rafale release ? Fly low... Superbes livrées Sushy ! Est-ce qu'elles seront incluses dans la version 03 du Rafale ? Fly low...

Hi All, I like sunsets too... Here is an AI refueling for a Rafale M returning to the Charles de Gaulle carrier for a night trap, after a CAP to protect the carrier group. The Rafale Nounou tanker was orbiting near the carrier. These are both AI aircraft, programmed using the powerful MOOSE mission scripting software, using the last DCS 2.5.6 stable release. The Rafale M, being low on fuel at the end of its CAP, was automatically diverted to the Rafale Nounou tanker, whatever their respective positions, before landing safely on the carrier, thanks to a MOOSE script. Many thanks to the Cuesta Bros and to the MOOSE developers for their amazing work. Fly low...

Of course, the correct word in French should be also "cone". The French statement and its translation, which I thought was automatic, give here bizarre explanations to the otherwise nice picture..... Fly low.

I see... I currently have static helos on other Admiral's ships, e.g., the San Antonio, the Oak Hill, and the Duncan, with no levitation problem... However, I have these problems with the USS Kidd, where static helos stay several meters above the flight deck. Also with the USNS Patuxent, where static helos stay approx. one meter below. Let's investigate further to get a solution. Fly low...

Ok, I didn't get the point concerning static objects, sorry. Toan

Hi All, Another way to modify this is to update the following line in the lua file : GT.Landing_Point = {-60.425, 4.848, 0.0} -- these are the original values, not yet updated where the parameters are x, z, y, i.e., you must modify the z parameter to update the height of the landing point to fit exactly to the flight deck level. If you want to have the helo land exactly on the center of the spot, modify also the x value. This is my personal approach, which works also for the Clemenceau and Charles de Gaulle carriers. But Admiral is certainly the most competent person to give an answer here. Enjoy and Fly low... Toan

Salut Sushy, Oui, c'est bien ce qu'il me semblait avoir compris d'après ton message précédent. Merci Sushy, Fly low...

Hi Urbi, Sorry, I probably missed something, but replacing the existing texture Tex_0026_1.dds in la_fayette.zip with yours just produces a weird situation, where I still have the hangar door on the left, but now the helo path goes to the right. Any clue ? Thanks for your help, Toan

Hi All, I strongly support these two suggestions, thanks Marroux. First, Admiral definitely deserves the suggested DCS Naval Community Medal of Honor with bars (one for each ship Mod he developed : there are 15 of them !), Second, submarine warfare seems quite overlooked in DCS, as far as I know. A side-effect of this is that ASW weapons seem quite limited. For example, the FREMM frigates have in real life twin torpedo tubes on each side of the hull, an ASW NH-90 helo and a powerful sonar suite. They also have a torpedo decoy launcher on each side. Further, air carrier groups are always escorted by protecting subs. It could be interesting to address these aspects, thus providing a new realistic dimension to DCS. As mentioned by Marroux and Admiral, one of the best source of information today concerning naval forces worldwide is the seaforces.org web, which includes a comprehensive description of ships, weapons and many photos. Altogether, thanks again to Admiral for his amazing work and efforts to naval ops in DCS. Toan

Hi All, I had the priviledge to test Admiral's prototype FREMM Mod , and took some screenshots using the Rescue Helo script from the Moose experts. See below, an AI "NH-90" helo landing on the FREMM, while experiencing rough conditions during sea trials... Note also that the FREMM's Aster missiles are here very effective against air targets... Let's thank unanimously Admiral189 for all his superb ship Mods. Amazing work, indeed, for those interested in naval and naval air ops. Congrats Admiral ! Toan

Hum, non, les frères Cuesta ne font pas "du très bon travail". Ils font un excellent travail, qui est irremplaçable, tout simplement. Chapeau bas.... Un très grand merci à eux. Fly low.... Toan

Hello, Petite frayeur lors de manoeuvres en fin de journée.... Et le ravitailleur est bien encadré par les hélicos.... J'utilise MOOSE pour faire du stationnaire avec les hélicos. Ca marche bien, sauf avec le Clemenceau et le Charles de Gaulle, car pour une raison inconnue, il est impossible de faire du stationnaire en AI avec un hélico à moins de 2500 ft au-dessus de ces deux porte-avions. C'est peut-etre un problème de conversion de modèle FSX vers DCS ? Donc, pas de Pedro possible, alors que ça marche bien avec les porte-avions US de SuperCarrier. Fly low.... Toan Hi, Frightening moment during dusk manoeuvers... And the refuleling ship is escorted by two helos... I'm using MOOSE to have the helos hover next to the ships. It works OK, except for the Clemenceau and the Charles de Gaulle carriers, for which, and for some unknown reason, it is impossible to have an AI helo hover near these two carriers below 2500 ft. Maybe it is a conversion problem from FSX to DCS ? So, no Pedro there, which however works fine for the SuperCarrier ships. Fly low... Toan

Merci Sushy Fly low...

Bonjour, Y a-t-il une baisse des FPS avec la 2.7 ? J'ai lu ça sur un forum, il me semble. Quel impact ? Réel et/ou significatif ? Merci d'avance, Toan Hi, Is there any impact on FPS with the new 2.7 version of DCS ? I think this was mentioned on some other forums. Really ? How significant is it ? Thanks, Fly low...

OK, merci Sushy. Et bravo pour ta super texture du A-29, variante Tucano de l'Armée de l'Air. Fly low. Toan

Bonjour, Merci pour ce pack très complet détaillé. Un vrai régal pour animer des scénarii très réalistes ! Une "petite" question : serait-il possible d'avoir le mention "Marine" sur la poutre arrière de la livrée Marine du NH-90, comme montré sur la photo ci-dessous ? Une "grande" question : bien que ceci nécessite une modification du modèle 3D, je suppose, est-il possible d'ajouter à cette version marine du NH-90 le dome ventral circulaire sous le fuselage avant, qui abrite le radar de recherche air-surface ? Voir l'autre photo ci-dessous. Merci d'avance, Hi, Thanks for this superb and exhaustive Mod ! It is a real pleasure to animate various scenarii with it ! One "small" question : would it be possible to add the label "Marine" to the Navy livery of the NH-90 ? See picture below. One "big" question : although I suppose this requires an update of the 3D model, would it be possible to add to the naval version of the NH-9, the circular dome under the forward fuselage, where the Air-surface radar is located (see picture below). Many thanks for all your superb work, Toan

Hi Sushy, Hi All, Superb job, indeed ! The Tucano has been the basic ab-initio training aircraft for the French Armee de l'Air pilots for years in Salon-de -Provence, southern France. The 50 aircraft were in service there from 1995 to 2009. As such, they never had any underwing loadout, and have never been used in combat ops wearing this flag. They initially had also a red and white livery. It is however currently being replaced by the Pilatus PC-21. Well done Sushy ! Fly low... Toan
