Happy Defender of the Fatherland day!! I hope you got some extra special attention from the female in your life! :thumbup:

Aileron droop in landing configuration now works!

 

 

 

[Einherjer]

You are my personal hero :)

[Foxbeard]

 

Awesome! Thanks!

[AG-51_Razor]

Beautiful Morkva!!

........And one but most actual thing!

 

- F/A-18C now uses modded F-15C input controls - so no more headashes with Su-33 brain damaged input configuration.

That's all the news so far.

 

Morkva, will this affect the Hornet's ability to extend the refueling probe for AAR??

[Morkva_55]

The damage model and the corresponding model animation now works.

Understood Morkva. :thumbup: thank you!

Sorry guys it's a bit off topic but if I remember correctly Morkva had flyable chopper mods on his earlier site (wings-of-russia) what do not work now.

Apache, Hind, Havok etc flyable mods (by Ka-50 modul) do not work now in 1.5/2.0.

Do you know why ?

Because these mods were made for the 1.2.6 version.

Now we have 1.5.3 and 2.0.1 so if you find some mods from the older versions they will definitely not work with the latest DCS versions.

There are a few that still work but yea..

Do I have to own the Eagle and the A10 to use the A7 and F18? I installed the mod, but have no cockpit at the moment :(

Great mods!! A few questions?

 

Hey there Morkva,

 

I've just discovered your amazing flyable aircraft mods yesterday and have been trying them all out in 1.5.3 and 2.01. They are great fun and i was especially happy to see the F-15E Strike Eagle (i had Microprose's F-15E Strike Eagle and Jane's F-15 back in the day!)

 

I have a couple of questions regarding controls and employing weapons?

 

When i go into the Controls menu for the F-18 the Default "Layer" is Su-33 and yet the download page for the mod say that it uses Su-25T avionics and so i would assume Su-25T Control inputs to use those avionics? Is this correct or should i use the Su-33 profile?

 

I fully understand that these mod aircraft are not meant to be fully functional aircraft in terms of weapon employment but are there any tips on getting the most out of the limited functionality we currently have? I have successfully dropped un-guided bombs and launched Mavericks and Sidewinders but wondered if other weapons were also able to be used reasonably effectively such as HARM's, LGB;s etc etc.

 

Finally, would it be possible in the future to change the avionics for the US aircraft to A-10A or A-10C symbology/functionality? This would make them more realistic in my humble opinion (this is NOT a complaint!) I assume there is or was a coding reason why the Su-25T systems were implemented instead of US ones? Thanks.

 

I will be playing around with the aircraft more today so i may well answer some of my own questions in the process. But any tips or help from you guys would be great!

 

Big thanks and much respect to Morkva for these mods!

The SU-25t avionic in the FA-18A gives you the ability to use guidet munitions by using the shkval targeting device plus the on board laser and harms (with the elint pod).

Ok, fantastic! Will give that a try?

 

Many thanks Einherjer!

[Einherjer]

For your advice : the shkval targeting device has just a limited gimbal - by overflying the target, the shkval will loose track and snaps back to the center. So after dropping a GBU try to slow down , go in a shallow dive and wait for the boom ;)

 

There is actually no possibility to remove this limit.

[minimi66]

Yeah, i've been trying just now and it's very difficult to accurately use the guided munitions without overflying the target inside the AAA envelope.

 

Still, its a mod not a full blown module so can't complain? It's just nice to be able to actually fly these aircraft!

 

Thanks.

Well, we're a week past the 8th now. I hope all is well with Morkva. :thumbup:

[Morkva_55]

I apologize for the delay. Mod is ready and currently in test.

 

Delay is caused by the need to make changes in the F/A-18A loadouts.

AGM-154C JSOW, AGM-84A Harpoon and AGM-84E SLAM can be used now.

 

I also decided to make a compatible liveries packs for the new mod.

Packages are divided by operator countries and will be available for separate download.
