WWII V1 Rocket Mod - Re Release

[SUNTSAG]

 

I am guessing that during the great mod purge of 2018, where mods were arbitrarily removed from the forums. The ORIGINAL BFVG V1 mod disappeared. At this point I will categorically state that all BFVG mods were built from the ground up including all the 3D models.

 

I realise that one individual cast aspersions as to mod content and ownership. The original mod appears to have fallen victim to that. (I can't say for sure, as I have only just found out that the forum post no longer exists, as I was PM'd a request for this Mod).

 

So I say to you and the moderators that may have removed the original.......We as a team spent many many hours producing this offering all built from scratch and not a single model was outsourced or obtained from elsewhere. My code used three digits...yes three digits from another mod for which I sought approval from its creator, prior to release....which was freely given.

 

We did everything above board and it should be recognised that our credibility should remain untarnished. I therefore re offer the mod to the community to download and enjoy.

 

A NEW VERSION OF THIS MOD CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE:

That whole situation was handled really poorly by ED, and most shameful of all, they didn't even apologize for all the wrong deletions they did .. so, in my opinion, what's actually tarnished here is ED's way of treating their Customers and not your credibility.

Thank you for sticking with DCS after the whole debacle.

 

 

 

 

Will SCUD also be reuploaded?

[javelina1]

thanks for posting the mod! great work!

[fl0w]

Really cool mod. Not sure why this was deleted in the first place. Many threads including a stickied post too was deleted with no reason.

[Basco1]

Fantastic work,as always,absolutely gob smacked !

[Commandosolo]

well at least they aren't like myspace and 50 million songs just disappeared

 

 

I didn't even no myspace was still up until I read the story this morning.

I think the process of clearing out mods was based on shoot first, ask questions later and the law of guilty until proven innocent. Such is the product we work with. I gave up using mods because of this. Pointless fight. I feel for you guys, it's a shocking way to treat people filling the gaps in their product.

The worry of potential lawsuits with cripplingly expensive outcomes that can sink a company tends to trump community ettiquete… for good reason.

 

What were they supposed to do? Go round asking every submitter of a mod to verify and provide proof of the provenance of all their content?

 

To what degree?

 

How many would be able to provide that information?

 

Could it be falsified? Who would be obliged to check?

 

Now we start to see the cost of such an enterprise and just how many man-hours that would involve.

 

ED made a harsh but just call, cos the alternatives were just too grim to bear.

Actually, the majority of the mods in question had done that and in the first post generally provided the requested information regarding ownership of the 3d model / intellectual property rights and the terms under which they were allowed to use them.

 

There are many times more mods for the modern era that made no such attempt to secure rights/ prove ownership and they are still there despite this sudden house cleaning.

awesome mod suntsag :thumbup:

[Raz_Specter]

I can confirm that all content was original, it look me a couple of weeks to model and texture the asset. and just as long for Suntag to do the coding

I have now added a download link to a Normandy Map V1 Static Site Template. Please refer to first post for the link. Cheers.

V1 Launch

 

This is a fantastic mod! Question - how do I launch the V1?

[jsr9597]

Nevermind - figured it out!

V-1 launcher

 

Hi. Suntsag

I was able to find your video on setting up the V-1, installed the new template and the V-1 pack, however when I set-up a mission using the template and attempt to launch multiple rockets (3) total at 3 different target with 2 or more minutes between launches I'm only able to launch two. Can I have you take a look or is 2 the max that can be launch at a time per launcher? Thanks TC

Hi too-cool,

 

I decided to make the mod a one shot artillery piece this time around, as I preferred to have the V1 visible on the ramp from the start. So for multiple strikes from one site, you will need a requisite number of ramps. Cheers.

Hi Rudel_chw,

 

You are welcome. Due to map mesh limitations the sites are not historically accurate but close enough for government work. :thumbup:

[SUNTSAG]

Thank you everyone for your positive feedback it is always appreciated and gratefully received. :thumbup:

[too-cool]

I can fire 2 rockets from each sight with different targets and times so that will work for what I want to do. Question: are you planning to make a air-raid siren template in the future or do one of your incredible video's showing how to set one up and get it to working? Thanks TC

[352ndDeacon]

Suntsag, your mods have made DCS a fantastic sim. It's too bad ED can't do as well in adding what the public wants without years of waiting and then months of bug removal. And we pay for this aggrevation.

Keep up the great work. It is truly appreciated.

[Boomer20]

Hi SUNTSAG, really been enjoying your asset mods. However I have noticed an issue. In a mission I have unrelated to the V1 launch site. When the Oliver Hazard Perrys and Ticonderogas fired Tomahawks and Harpoons. The engine sounds for both weapons seem to have been overwritten by the V1 engine.

I apologize if some mods got swept up that shouldnt, wasnt a fan of the sweep but we had someone complaining and I didnt want any issues for us or any users, I am glad this is back, would love if it was added as an official mod, never hurts to have more targets for WWII.
