I can't get them to fire while controlling them via CA either It's released now. I wonder if it has anything to do with the orientation of the launcher. The RAZBAM ones have the launchers facing forward, both azimuth and elevation, then uses "reference_angle_Z" to make them rest pointing up.

Pappy2 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Hello "joey45" thank you for the answer, I installed HERMES in the right directory and the clock of DCS is well selected. But HERMES is not visible in the mission creator. In DCS encyclopedia, I have the texts of both versions but the images are black. Maybe there are files missing in your .zip ?

Might be the source of your problem. Move over to the beta. Half the modules don't even work without being in beta. At the very least, reverting back to the regular version just to create a mission you can use isn't what most people are going to do.

Xeno426 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Well, I managed to get the 1969 Hermes version to fire the new Sea Cat. Still working on the other Hermes carriers. I've got them to have the Sea Cat launchers track, but they don't fire. Hermes69.7z Edited July 10, 2022 by Xeno426 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, all that would really need to change is the argument references for things (lights, turrets, radar, wires), additional entries for things that now have arguments, and the reference angles for the launchers and radar systems. The rest of the your code won't change. Unless you're adding damage states and editing the model to include damage areas. Then you'd have to change up the GT.DM entries and link the radar and weapons to the appropriate locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav87th Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Hey joey45 I just downloaded and installed your latest HermesR12 mod (Hermes_26783.zip) and installed it in My saved games folder in "C:\Users\XXXXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech\HermesR12" Ships shows up fine in mission editor but i get some erroneous behavior from the mission editor when i place a helicopter on the carrier. i place a helicopter (Apache in this case) and select "Takeoff from runway" and get two pots to park at - 1 and 2 If i select "Takeoff from Ramp" i get the same - two spots (1 and 2) and again the same if selecting "...from parking hot". No matter which one i select the helicopter spawns with wheels on the water surface inside the carriers 3d model. I have tried every conceivable mix of options, without success. Tried different helicopters, tried both AI helicopters and as Player and as Client. First i wonder why i only have two spots, cus when looking inside the .lua file "CentaurClass_1973RunwaysAndRoutes.lua" it looks like you have assigned like 8 spawnpoints for helicopters. Second im curious why the helicopters spawn on the surface of the ocean and not on the deck of the carrier. Thanks for your sublime work - cant wait to get it working here best regards Martin PS- Just tested from a hovering apache that i could land - i could. And the helicopters altitude parked at the aft of the ship measured at 40ft. by the altimeter with the pressure set correctly.

joey45 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) The spawn 1 & 2 is a DCS thing.. Spawning on the water is a bug I'll look into. It works on the 82 so I'll have a look through the code when I get the chance today Edited July 15, 2022 by joey45 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Mav87th Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Thanks Joey - but i kinda fixed it my self.... Here is my edited .lua that at least got it spawned on deck I basically corrected all heights in points by +0.38 meters Gotta retract that above - it worked because i changed from the 1973 to the 1981 Hermes. So the 1981 Hermes works with 8 helicopters, albeit the last 5 parking spots are placed approximately 10 meters to far aft on the ship.

Mav87th Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Thanks Joey45 They both works like a charm. Helicopters are offset a little bit from the "spots" but i can certainly live with that. Tested with 9 helicopters on each boat, and had the AI's do a full circle of takeoffs and landings while i took off last and hovered over the boat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav87th Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Great Joey i dont know if you know, but it seems to me, that different helicopters take a different placement on the same spawnpoint. Some right on top of it (like the Gazelle) and some "behind" the spot (Apache) and some in front of it (Huey). I will try to do some tests to see if that is the same on all carriers. I suppose it perhaps is a setting in each helicopters script files and not your mod. When you do the update, can you make something like this for a good overview for mission makers?
