Stratos Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 this is a close as we could get using current DCS limitations Pretty interesting, do you have a link for that mod? Maybe we can adapt a Huey to the same mod and carry a bamby bucket under it. Regarding the original post yes, I will purchase such a module. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Johnny_Rico Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 it is not a mod it is a MOOSE script I wrote works both for huey and mi-8 (it is still WIP - adding more refinements, eg rescue people from roof of burning building and maybe a more complex method of fire control eg it gets bigger over time) METAR weather for DCS World missions Guide to help out new DCS MOOSE Users -> HERE Havoc Company Dedicated server info Connect IP: 94.23.215.203 SRS enabled - freqs - Main = 243, A2A = 244, A2G = 245 Please contact me HERE if you have any server feedback or METAR issues/requests

Johnny_Rico Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) join our MP server and pick a slot with fire fighter in it (there are two) Testing it live, best way to test There are limitations due to DCS, eg if a smoke is already active and you join the server, you will not see that smoke being active (weird DCS issue) I reported here -> https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=222296 you might want to plus 1 that bug Edited October 16, 2018 by Johnny_Rico METAR weather for DCS World missions Guide to help out new DCS MOOSE Users -> HERE Havoc Company Dedicated server info Connect IP: 94.23.215.203 SRS enabled - freqs - Main = 243, A2A = 244, A2G = 245 Please contact me HERE if you have any server feedback or METAR issues/requests
Xilon_x Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 no seaplane? I remember that the Russian president Putin came to Italy in Sardinia with his Beriev Be-200 a beautiful fire-fighting aircraft. In ITALY precisely in Sardinia the BE-200 risk of crashing on people who were taking a bath on the beach luckily everything OK.We have Italian Candair Ci 415 these are the videos Bellissimo aereo

Johnny_Rico Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 don't worry it is a training server (no PVP), so you can fly about and try stuff out safely, without fear of being shot down by other players METAR weather for DCS World missions Guide to help out new DCS MOOSE Users -> HERE Havoc Company Dedicated server info Connect IP: 94.23.215.203 SRS enabled - freqs - Main = 243, A2A = 244, A2G = 245 Please contact me HERE if you have any server feedback or METAR issues/requests

Stratos Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Tried several times to join without luck, maybe in the future ED will provide something similar for us. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
Opalias Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 I like it. Sling loading is a lot of fun already and adding this and rescue mechanics would be a great addition as well as potentially integrate well with the carrier ops.
Evoman Posted October 28, 2019 Author Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) With the new rash of wildfires going on in California right now it made me think about this topic again. This time I came to the conclusion that Firefighting could be implemented into DCS with a small initial development of just the necessary programing needed to model wildfires on the part of Eagle Dynamics. Then a new skin and fighter fighting equipment for the Huey could be added. Then depending on how popular it turns out to be a California map could be added by a 3rd party. Then later on the S2 Tracker could be added as it could serve double duty as an Aerial tanker, AWACS - E-1 Tracer, Cargo -C-1 Trader and Sub hunter. Buy the way the S-2 was capable of deploying torpedoes and Depth charges. By the way I tried to embed this great youtube video but I have not being abel to figure out how to do it even by going into Advanced mode and using the Youtube button. The video just ends up being unplayable for me. Edited October 28, 2019 by Evoman
SharpeXB Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 No. It sounds really boring. This is Digital Combat Simulator. There are plenty of other things which should be a higher priority for ED than forest fire modeling. i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
Evoman Posted October 28, 2019 Author Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) No. It sounds really boring. This is Digital Combat Simulator. There are plenty of other things which should be a higher priority for ED than forest fire modeling. Since you don't seem to get the big picture let me reiterate this replay. Also keep in mind ED just needs to do enough to prepare DCS enough to entice third parties (hopefully a new one) to build out the rest. "I have seen plenty of comments on these forums and others of people that are not really interested in flying combat missions in combat aircraft. But they do recognize that DCS is one of the best simulators out there. So why not bring to market something different to the Civilian sector of aviation that no other simulator offers right now to attract new people. So to answer your question this means more sales and business for DCS that also means more money to support DCS efforts to keep improving the simulator that we all love. If you step back and look at it from a pure business prospective it has a lot of PURPOSE! Plus it would not be that hard to implement it by using the caucasus map and Huey because they are already part of DCS to see how well it does. Everyone stands to benefit from it in some way even if they are not interested in firefighting." Edited October 28, 2019 by Evoman
upyr1 Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 I lvoe the idea- you'd have to have to rework map damage
