v5.9

 

1: Flight Model Improvements:

Various Adjustments made to fligth behaviour.

Crosswinds adjustments made, Hercules can now easily be operated up to max allowed crosswind. (15knots at 90deg of nose)

 

2: Textures:

Spinning prop hub’s while cold and dark corrected.

 

3: Load-out:

Paratroopers have been added to the Hercules.
**PIERRE ESCOP** provided us with his model for use in the Hercules.

Units re-aligned to prevent ramp damaged when deploying.

 

4: Battle Station:

Pylon selection won’t reset after pylon release button is pressed, enabling the possibility of activating and deactivating smoke pods.

Pylon Jettison corrected, selected pylons will now jettison correctly.(Smoke pods can’t be jettisoned, if jettisoned they stop working but remain on pylon, DCS core thing!)

Chin mounted TGP model added back when Battle station is loaded (TGP is not functional)

 

6: Counter Measurers:

Chaff and Flares added.

 

7: JATO:

Jato power fixed no more double power in multiplayer.

 

 

v5.8

 

1: APU FIXES:

APU will now start after trying to start without battery power, once battery is turn on. APU starts 3 times before battery power is too low, request external power to charge batt up again

 

2:BETA:

Beta Can now be engaged anytime reducing engine power to 60%, reverse will only kick in below 155knots.

 

3.PYLON:

Pylons have been changed to reflect the final idea for the weapons system. (NOTE!!! Remove Hercules.lua from C:\Users….\Saved Games\DCS…..\MissionEditor\UnitPayloads and redo all payloads in previous made missions) Smoke pods Added

 

4.KNEEBOARD

Kneeboard added with basic checklists included

 

5:STEAM

Steam compatibility added. (To enable, simply install the latest version of the mod, and navigate to the Hercules Special Options page in DCS. You will see a “Steam Version” checkbox that, if enabled, utilizes the new audio implementation. All steam users should check this box. Standalone users should not enable this feature, as it reduces the quality of the external sound effects. This is a limitation of the alternate sound API, and is out of our control.)

 

6:LOAD-OUT

Various Ammo and Units added. Further load-out adjustments made

 

7:FLIGHT MODEL

Various aerodynamic adjustments made

 

KNOWN ISSUES: Pylons won't jettison correctly. JATO is very powerfull.

- FAQ (by Knapsak on Discord)

 

1. Does It have SFM or EFM? It has a EFM that is still being tuned.

2. Does it have RWR? Not yet but will come later no time frame sorry.

3. Does it have Chaff and Flare? No not yet it will come with the RWR.

4. How many people is developing the module? Only Anubis!!!

5. Will this become a 3rd party module? There is not plan to make it a 3rd party Mod.

6. Does the weapons working? No it is still very early in development and will work in future.

7. Does it have Multi Crew? Yes it has, a video on how to get it to work will come soon

8. Where can it land/take-off? anywhere on the ground, It doesn’t float well.

9. Is the weight simulated? Yes, your cargo and fuel is added to your aircraft impacting your performance.

10. Is Center of Gravity simulated? Yes, make sure you load the heavy stuff close to you center of Gravity in the plane(mid-crate section).

11. Is all 4 engine modeled, because DCS only does 2? Yes, Anubis spent a very long time developing his 4 engines and you can feel it when you switch some off.

12. Is Damage Modeled? not at the moment No

13. Will we ever get a manual? Sure we just need someone to make it.

14. Does it have Auto-Pilot? Yes, it is currently being worked on.

15. Does it have Lights? Currently it only has taxi and take-off lights nothing else.

16. Is the bleed air system fully implemented? only a basic simulation.

17. Why is there only one heat-blur? DCS only simulates 2 engines max, so no way to get blur on all now, we will check if it can be added later, for now it’s best going without any heat-blur.

18, Is there no radio after take-off? The communications is in a SDK that is for official 3rd party devs only

19. Does it have navigation? No it has been removed pending a complete rework of the waypoint capture function

 

- Compatibility Issues

- Reshade is known to cause serious framerate issues

 

- Help Needed

Do you have a paint template available?

 

There isnt any as far as I know, Anubis has admitted textures isnt his strong point.

Someone seems to be working on it tho, hopefully he will share his template with the community, Would love to see your liveries on it :)

Feel free to join their discord: https://discord.com/invite/ae7yFzQY

 

Also, just so there's no misunderstanding, I had no part in this. I came across it on youtube and thought it was too good not to share!
