[Stuka]

Folks,

 

The 476th Range Targets package is available for download at the following link:

 

 

https://www.476vfightergroup.com/downloads.php?do=download&downloadid=482

 

The current version is: 14 NOV 2019

 

The most recent update adds more than 100 custom ground objects to the existing package which, together with the 476th Nevada Test & Training Range (NTTR) mission, accurately depict 129 individual target complexes consisting of more than 2,000 individual desired points of impact (DPI). Of course, these objects can also be placed into user-created missions via the DCS Mission editor.

 

The 476th NTTR mission file is available for download here:

Much appreciated guys. Thanks for allowing the rest of us to make use of your top rate work.

[BritTorrent]

Excellent work as always Stuka, thanks for this.

Thanks for the work guys! I was just trying this for the first time...I found taking off from Nellis slowed my FPS (in VR) to a crawl...usually its ok for me. Any tips on how to help this? is it the number of other units and planes at the airport and just a matter of deleting the ones I'm not flying? any help greatly appreciated...Jason

Delete all static planes on Nellis Tarmac an all will run fine.

As someone who has frequented the NTTR and been to every corner, except for that square thing in the center, I am much appreciative of this work! I just wish ED would point the darn planes outward at the CALA at Nellis. Major safety violation and I may have to write them up. Then we would have ultra realism. Again, Thank you so much for this mod.

I really really suck at spelling!

When NTTR first came out I loaded the ramp true to life and I was ticking along. :)

[EagleFox]

Is this only for nttr or we can use it on caucaus map also?

[Esac_mirmidon]

Works absolutely PERFECT in the Caucasus.

 

Thanks, i really appreciate your outstanding work making this mod again useful on 1.5.

Thanks for the advice guys

Is anyone else having issues with the mission file not having the new objects showing up at Gotham and Miller Ville?

[ENO]

Wow... well no sense reinventing the wheel. I find it remarkable that this has been offered openly... really amazing.

 

I do have a couple of lingering questions and this is just out to other people who have already used it...

 

Is the AI FAC turned off or is it using the MOOSE detection capability? Is it just reserved for human players?

 

Also I notice the client aircraft are in groups... does that feature work now? (Still placing my clients in separate, individual groups but if I don't have to anymore that's great!)

Damn.

I somehow ****ed up the mission that I made available, It did not contain the custom buildings.

I made a new version (v3.1) available at the same link as in the original post.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

The FAC units are there to be used by human controllers.

Client aircraft in groups does work.

 

Now, nothing holds you from editing the available client aircraft for your own purpose. I just made a (relative) quick edit to make at least every modern jet/helo available in the mission for the persons who don't knwo how to do it themselves.

LOL OKAY! So it's not me!

 

Wow- I thought I'd screwed up something (again).

 

Thanks for the quick follow up!

There's no denying that the mission is resource demanding. :)

One of the things you can do to make it a bit better is to create 2 versions of it. You make a version where you delete everything but the Northern (70's) ranges, and another one where you only keep the Southern (60's) ranges.

Depending on what your plans are, you load the appropriate mission.

 

We do it ourselves this way on larger events.

[mwd2]

Thanks for the update. Are there more Ranges on NTTR or did you have 'make' all now?

[Stuka]

Every target (JUN15 data) is included now, and modeled as accurate as possible within DCS.

Oh good, I began to figure I had screwed something up, and decided to start building it myself..glad I don't have to reinvent the wheel. You guys really do great work, thanks for being part of the community.

Thx for the update:thumbup::pilotfly:

One thing I will mention here- and I do so only on a notification basis not a "complaint" basis... I have tried to register to discuss the map on your site but it's been about 12 hours and I haven't received the email to approve my registration.

 

I do want to promote traffic on your site and don't want to keep asking here- unless here is okay by you guys!

 

Either way- I'm just inspired and amazed again at all the work that went into this. I don't know what a reward is for such generosity but I do want to respect your preferences in terms of asking questions!

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Stuka and 476th team. I just wanted to say thanks for this. There's a lot of man days in this I can see and it's actually finally gotten to a point where NTTR is now fairly well modelled in entirety, the model count, custom models and range features are a labour of love. It's great you put in the missile trainer from MOOSE also and filled this out to a very complete standard. I do have a question. I just checked it out and found that you likely have to delete units to get the frames a little higher. Can I ask how many you remove and what numbers worked for you on your server?
