DCS Super Hercules mod by Anubis

[PAKFA FAN]

Okay. We are waiting for news from the author of the mod or players who have figured out the problem

V6.7 is released go and update your local mods... 

[Apple]

V6.7 has a bug in nav_radar_device.lua:

2021-04-16 12:04:18.205 ERROR   COCKPITBASE: Nav_Radar::update:[string "C:\Users\post\Saved Games\DCS\Mods/aircraft/Hercules ver 6.7/Cockpit/Scripts/Nav_Radar_Display/indicator/nav_radar_device.lua"]:737: attempt to compare nil with number

 

the problem is the reference of an undefined,

current_leg

is unknown

if i > current_leg then

Re: nav radar bug: Good catch. We will fix this in the next minor release. Thanks. 
 

Regarding exploding Hercules: 6.6 no longer works. You must update to 6.7. If you do, your plane will not explode.

If you put a wrapper around the radar nav error, there’s a couple of more undefined variables

yea, we've tracked down the rest.  we pulled out a bunch of half baked functionality from that module, which is what lead to this.

My mod crashes when ever I load in. It s real odd

 

[Voolpy]

This is a awesome mod! i like use big ass! i have a question: looking for how to get the view of the gun with sights. Where is in the settings? i know for battle station but after don't how use guns...

[grant977]

I am getting ctds at intermittent times. Sometimes 15 to 20 seconds after loading then sometimes 30 mins. It also seems to not crash as much if loaded via the mission editor.

Is there a way to have the paratroopers jumping from a script for the C130 Anubis controlled by the AI?

[Alpiinoo]

Thanks.

Version 6.7: On engine start, after all engines are up and running I turn off bleed air, turn off APU at top of panel and then Stop AUP lower on the panel and my HUD goes blank as does several of the pilot/co-pilot screens. It's like they are not getting electrical power other than APU power. Anyone seeing this? Did the engine start sequence change or am I missing something? Am I now supposed to leave the APU running during flight?

 Speedbrake, on the real aircraft the engine generators only supply power when they are up-sped, ie, not in low speed ground idle. Up-speeding the engines should bring the generators online (if it is like the real thing). Turning off the APU before up-speeding the engines cuts off your only AC power source.

Best mod ever.

[Speedbrake]

Thanks Fj_flyguy! I'll check it out.

Shouldn't this thread be moved and stickied on the Mods sub forum of the Mods subforum where all planes are? (Actually why is this subforum so uncategorized after so many years is still a mystery, Planes, Vehicles, Ships, Utils, Wishlist, Chitchat,... oh well)

[demaske]

is anyone else having an issue where it crashes dcs every time.  I've downloaded the new version for 2.7 and it wont even load the mission it just crashes on the load csreen 

[AlpineGTA]

Yes. I hadn't flown the Hercules in a while so I downloaded the latest version to try but it crashes as soon as I try starting a ready for takeoff on the runway mission. I haven't tried any other mission types. 

[ExoticTrout]

I am really enjoying this mod. Anubis has done a fantastic job and I am looking forward to everything that comes next.  I do, however, have a problem:

 

** MOAB DETONATES INSTANTLY WHEN RELEASED BY AI PILOT **

 

It works ok when I drop it as the the pilot flying,  but when set up as an AI bomb run with the MOAB in the center cargo position it just blows up a second after it appears outside the C-130.    Kablooey.  It sends the Herc down in flames and me too when I am flying too close near.

 

I see it working on Youtube, so I am missing some detail... a critical speed ? nose up?

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Good day All. I have downloaded the current 6.7 Hercules. I have placed it in User\DCS Openbeta\mods\Hercules. I see it when I launch the sim. I tried to do a quick mission as well as a mission I have created. I launch the mission but it goes to the map. It will not allow to take control for any of the missions. I believe we don't need a license that I'm aware of. I've even signed up with Discord. Still not able to take control. I've tried RAlt+j, and just "j" too. What am I miss here. I did have the Hercules several months ago. I did uninstall several times. I have done several cleanup and repairs but still no joy. Please advise. Thank You.

[ebabil]

I don2t own the module but just in case, have you select it as "player" and correct c-130 which should be orange highlighted in the list as playable module?

[MAXsenna]

Check the path again.

Thank You EBABIL and MAXsenna. I have verified both of your suggestions. Still same situation. It is telling me I can not take control still. I've attached some screenshots too. Thank You.

[allen6090]

Here's a couple more with path and verbiage that says I can't take control.
