MASSUN92´s Animated ground crew and lights MOD -- DOWNLOAD IT FROM: HERE! What a journey, right? As mentioned in today's newsletter (May 17, 2024), the asset pack will become part of the DCS core, allowing everyone to use the assets in their missions without needing to download anything. This does NOT include the animated ground crew and lights, which will still be available for download from the link above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before addressing some questions, I would like to thank all of you, the community, for your support and positive vibes. This achievement is also partly yours. On one hand, your support for the asset pack pushed me to make it better and bigger. On the other hand, I'm sure ED wouldn't have noticed the asset pack if so many people weren't using it and creating wonderful bases with it. So feel proud, we've achieved something fantastic! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - What's going to happen with the mod? I will continue developing content because I enjoy doing it. I love seeing what I create come to "life" within the simulator. According to my discussions with the people at ED, there's a possibility of adding more objects in the future, so feel free to leave suggestions below. - What will happen to the missions created with the latest version of the mod? As far as I understand, and I could be wrong, they should work fine WITHOUT the mod installed. - Will there be improvements? We have an agreement where I will make some minor future corrections to the models. Beyond that, I don't know what the future holds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Who I am? Hi to all! My name is Patricio Massun, I'm a 3D artist and architect from Argentina. My job is mostly related to arch visualization and asset creation for renders. I use this mod to practice some lowpoly, game-ready, real time rendering technics. I use Blender for all my work. All the models of the mod are created entirely by myself and the textures are from ambientcg (old cc0textures.com). All the export process is based on the EDM exported made by Tobi and use the tutorials from Grajo (Without them the mod would not have been possible). - About the mod:

What would be very useful is an asset-related element. At least one - Rapid Aerostat Initial Deployment. During the Afghan War, almost every large FOB was equipped with a balloon with sensors to monitor the surroundings - RAID. The balloons hung all day long, non-stop. It would be nice if such a model (we actually have a model of a Normandy barrage balloon) was added to the set of objects for DCS. A 3D model, without any sensors even. It was so popular that you can basically see it in every historical satellite photo at larger FOB. It was a permanent fixture in the landscape during the Afghan war. Pls think about it too.

hi, i was building a road farp and noticed that if i wanted to take off or land at night on a improvised runway i can't place indicator lights to indicate every important markpoint (runway start-end, a rudimentary ALS, etc etc) so i thing it would be nice (and even low effort) to make small lights that can be placed, not much, just one steady and one flashing, with different colors Because right now we can only land using NVG or flying really low with the landing light on especially with planes that don't have TACAN or any radionavigation aid a dream come true would be a placeable ILS but i guess that is a bit much to ask

Hello All. I really love Cold War DCS era. Old jets and helicopters. But fly over some modern maps can be frustrating. Too modern Airfields, buildings and stuff. If you want to add some Tu-95 or B-1 to the stand, you will be sad because super low resolution of old models. So I realized that for really cool gameplay the best way is to have special Cold War asset pack. It will be cool for reproduction of historical events in singleplayer, or even some Cold War serverswill use it. There may be some special stuff like Soviet KM-1 ekranoplan, some amphibious hovercrafts, special trucks with big jet drone indide, bombers like first Tu-22, Tu-95(I know about mod), B-70 Valkyrie, SR-71 Blackbird, some cool tanks as IT-1 Dragon or BRDM with 5 guided rockets Malutka. It will really refresh cold war scene and add new tasks and tactics. Also will be cool to control it with Combined Arms
