Good Morning to you all

I have found that Russian Frigate Admiral Kasatonov: Version 1.2. does not show up in any way on the Harm targeting pod. Its radar should be visible, right? Thanks

[Admiral189]

Hello IR.Clutch. That's a great question. 

Yes, the radars are radiating otherwise they wouldn't detect incoming threats. I'm not a flyer so it will be hard for me to answer. Can you see it on the regular radar? Is Admiral Kasatanov the only ship it doesn't show up on the targeting pod?

Unfortunately I don't know how the HARM targeting pod works, but the Gorshkov's is definitely configured for its radar to emit signals. I just tested it and it shows up on the RWR of all the aircraft I tested.

By the way, you should update to the latest version of the ship, which is 1.3.1.

Thanks, Current!

Hey Guys! I have released my updated version of the USS Constellation FFGX-62 Frigate with liveries. Vers" 1.0.1.  Please see page 1 of my forum # 16.  

I would like to state the USS Constellation is a Frigate so it's not comparable to a Cruiser or Destroyer. However, she holds her own as you will see.  If you have any MAJOR Technical issues with the mod please PM me and I will correct it.  ENJOY!!!

Coolio!

Thanks for all your work Admiral  (and all the others out there). The Nato Fleet(s) are really starting to come together. I've updated most of the carriers for AI take off. Still quite a bit of work to do on the landing stuff but I'm getting there.

Hey Guys! 

[Admiral189]

Thanks, Beldin! I appreciate that. For a minute there I thought there was little interest in the AI Ship mods. Either way, I will continue to create them no matter what.

I'm currently working on the USS Mount Whitney and USS Blue Ridge. I should be releasing the newly updated Aquitaine Frigate Normandie and Foundre Class LPD soon as well. 

Thanks to you all for your continued interest in the mods.

Nice, I will send you my updated lua files for the stuff I've done. I've got LHA-6 just about done. I might try and split LHA6/7 into separate units so I can do a Assault Helicopter/Osprey version with a few F-35s and then a "lighting carrier" version with 20-24 F-35s

Currently you can do 12 F-35s short take off with either 8 vertical TO F-35s or 8 Helos/Osprey. But I'll send you the files or check with you first before I release anything. The landing stuff is tricky due to the de spawn timer(still trying to figure out how to control that) and the STOVL planes are a real pain when it come to landing, lol. I've  been able to setup some pretty epic "What if" AI naval battles thanks in many parts to your work. So once again awesome job.

That's great. With the Charles De Gaulle and Mistral ship out there the French Navy has enough assets out there to form it's own CSG/ARG.

[FST_Bearcat]

Great to see that the French fleet will improve.

Tank you Admiral

Hi Admiral, excellent work for all of Your mods. I hope You can make Horizon class Frigate for French and Italian navies. Also we are missing Italian carrier Cavour in the game.  If possible  can You make something simmilar as Curethill to better present your mod list, like with this picture of Constellation class frigate. Some of Your mods have been updated by Currethill so maybe to mark those links as "legacy" or something like that. Just suggestions, and keep up Your good work.

Thanks Beldin! I was just working on America the other day. I'm reworking all her weapons. I think EDs updates are taking a toll on her animations. Thanks for updating the Lua! I appreciate it.

Gogi12, I think I have ADHD when it comes to modding.  Hard to really concentrate on one mod at a time. So the answer to your question is below. I have been working on Andrea Doria and Forbin also. Hard to say when I will finish them.

Wow, thank You very much

[Admiral189]

Gogi12 when I update the mods I usually at least state the version and any updates to the mods. Only one of my mods was updated by CurrentHill.  I will remove the Irainian patrol boat I created a few years ago. Thanks for the input.

Hey! The Admiral Kasatonov (renamed in its latest version to Admiral Gorshkov Class Frigate) was a joint venture between me and the Admiral. In regards to the Type 45, these are different assets. The Admiral made one and I made one.

@Admiral189 eagerly waiting the Aquitaine update. Your AI ship assets are prime material in day to day missions and scenarios I play and they make the environment quite exciting. I particularly love the coast guard assets, now that the mh60 mods are up and running... attaching below a reel from a night op.

I setup an "escort" battle the other night.  Nato escorts vs the CCP escorts. Both fleets closed to gun range firing missile starting at around 30 nm I think. Good fun. Although I'm a little surprise how inaccurate the naval gun fire was in a ship vs ship dual. Took a long time to score enough hits to sink anything. I understand the ship damage modeling and hull "points" are a bit all over the place in DCS but it seemed like for every gun hit there were 7-8 misses? Curious to see what range they start firing missiles if I add some recon/intel assets like AWACS. I'm pretty sure I've seen the "escorts" fire anti ship missiles at much longer ranges in some of the carrier battles I've setup. Still good fun to watch ans so cool to be able to setup mission with nothing but MOD units.

There is a Cavour MOD out there. It's in the pic I posted a few post back. But it's in the background and hard to see. I've only got 4 F-35s setup for take off currently. There are static planes on the deck that are part of the model so making a take off/landing lua for that ship will not be easy. I think Patrick of the Cuesta team had a hand in the mod. Let me know if you cant find it. I believe Patrick is aware of my updates to the Clemenceau/Charles De Gaulle Carriers and aircraft Mods they done. You can find them on their forum threads. But I need to get in contact with him before I release anything else as I'm stating to make some bigger changes and I don't want to upset anyone.

As the Admiral said, I too get a little ADHD in my modding. I currently have sort of working updated take off luas for 18 carriers, most of them mod units, lol
