NATO Ground Service Equipment Request Thread

[Sport]

With the releases of the beautiful Russian equipment by VPC and Voc, I wanted to start gathering resources for a NATO equivalent. Post photos, diagrams, resources of ground service equipment we could use to populate NATO/Western airfields with to help bring a little more immersion, and life to the sim... While I'm slowly learning how to 3D model I'm not quite ready to take up the mantle of equipment creation. Hopefully someone else can give a hand. I'll update this first post with photos and try to organize as best I can.

I could help you with modeling if needed

[RabidRider]

Maybe contact voc (or solway?) and ask him? He could put up a donation page like Starway did. We need this :)

Starway was working closely with ED to release his texture pack, and at one point was going to be released as an official mod. Donations for mod work are not approved by ED and should not be solicited. His deal was a one-off since an official agreement couldn't be met.

 

What people do on their personal websites is their business, but they cannot request donations for their work on these forums... :music_whistling:

While you are at creating human 3D models, please include different kind of civilians so we can enrich our missions with humanitarian missions, or create colateral risks with something else than the 'airshow crowd'.

All good ideas, it would be nice if these could be included natively in DCS, but in lieu of that a mod would be most welcome.

@Sport, yes, maybe a link to a website (like virpil) with an option of donating.

@Sport, yes, maybe a link to a website (like virpil) with an option of donating. In fact, going to donate something to the guy who made the current mod:

 

I wouldn't post his link as not to call attention to it or get him in trouble with the forum mods :smilewink:

 

First post updated, I'll be adding more

[RabidRider]

Oops, thanks for reminding me :) Still, it's worth some renumeration. Link deleted

Great idea!

Not really NATO but the plastic modelling community has a wide range of different equipmetn out here. With some google-fu and asking around you might get pictures of the real stuff.
