lord-gore Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hi one and all, i'm going to apologize for this post now, as logic dictates it's blatantly been asked before but what programs are there that are compatible with module making for DCS? Me and a couple friends are looking to work together to make modules, i realise how big an undertaking it is, but luckily for me i already have 3D modelling experience and one of my friends has dabbled in a little bit of coding aswell as me being familiar with unitext(modifying games) but that's currently as far as my coding experience goes possible first choices are as follows Hawker Typhoon (knew the Spitfire would get done soon and no doubt there is a Hurricane in the works?) EE Lightning (quite familiar with their rail products having worked on various EE locomotives) Blackburn Buccaneer Victor Tanker below are a couple examples of what i have done previously Best wishes Mike Allen
joey45 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Well, your friends needs to know more then dabbled. The only 3d program that can export into the .EDM format in 3ds max.

ED Team NineLine Posted February 1, 2016 ED Team Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah, coding will break you :) Maybe start small... cut your teeth on lua and its use in DCS and go from there, even experienced devs are getting their buts kicked by programming FMs... its no small undertaking... good luck!

joey45 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I wouldn't mind an AI Victor tanker K2 to start off with. :thumbup: The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

tombeckett2285 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Hey Mike, I've got plenty of documentation (and I'm learning C++ and lua as I go along, being experienced in XML) for the Bucc S2 if you'd be interested? I've considered such a project myself in the medium to long term but the 3D modelling and animation is what I'd struggle with.
