NEWS "RAFALE PACK EVOLUTION II" Version 2.8.7 August 2023 by the Cuesta Brothers Team


Recommended Posts

Hi All, I am running the last Open Beta DCS 2.8.1.34667 and have a problem with the HUD in the Rafale M, showing erroneously the hidden optics (see the screenshot below) 🤔 Never had that problem before 🙁 Any clue ? Thanks for your help 😉

Tu n'as pas la mod cockpit cliquable pour FC3 par hasard ?

Au début de ton fichier lua du Rafale M tu dois avoir ces deux lignes, c'est un problème de view et pas de textures, on pense, si tu n'as pas ces deux lignes copies les 

ou au pire remet le fichier lua d'origine du Pack Rafale Evolution, c'est pour cela que l'on dit souvent de ne pas trafiquer les fichiers lua car ce sont des usines a gaz, avec quatre avions

et des view differentes.

Bonjour, Merci pour cette réponse rapide. Oui, j'ai bien ces deux lignes en tete de mon fichier Rafale_M.lua  🤔 Donc, c'est autre chose.... 🙁  Je vais remettre le fichier lua d'origine du Pack Evolution.... Et enlever les derniers Mod que j'ai installé (p.ex. le VSN F-35). Merci encore 🙂

De rien ça vas le faire tkt

En réinstallant les fichiers lua d'origine et en supprimant les derniers Mod que j'avais installés, tout est de nouveau opérationnel 👍 Je soupçonne le VSN F-35 d'etre la cause du problème d'affichage du HUD que j'ai eu, mais ça reste à confirmer 😉 Merci encore pour votre aide très rapide, ainsi qu'à Morpheus pour son pointeur vers le cockpit clickable de FC3 😃 Et bravo pour votre travail impressionnant et le partage de ce magnifique Mod Rafale, ainsi que Suhy et F2C pour leurs superbes livrées ! 👏

Thank you so much for your great mods. I've been working with the lua files to maximize carrier capabilities for AI take off and maximum spawning on deck and then landing and parking.

I've been working to get all the naval aviation mods (planes and carriers) working together and hope to release some lua files soon. Here's some screen shots. Sadly the F-8 is not working correctly at this time but all the other planes are 🙂

Are those Super Etendards playable?

Hi, Yes, the Super Etendard has been shared by the Cuesta Bros as a playable Mod since long 😃 It's a very fun strike fighter to fly, with a nice payload, including the Exocet missile 🙂 It's bundled with the Clemenceau aircraft carrier 👍 Have look here to download them :

Many thanks again to the Cuesta Bros for their excellent work ! Enjoy ! 😉

Hi Beldin, very nice work you have done with the parking slots and the aircraft (I love that F-8 Crusader....). Will you share your files ? One question that was raised in this forum earlier is the availability of the parking slots when aircraft are landing on the deck. It has been mentioned that when they park after landing, they might be directed to free slots, but then interfere with the red painted safety line of the landing area. This triggers automatically wave-offs of all subsequent landing aircraft. Have you managed to deal with this ? Anyway, I'm looking forward to use your excellent work  ! Thanks !....

Hey toan, thank you. I will post the files soon. I've not yet really messed with the landing/parking yet. Getting the AI take off and spawning has been a learning experience to say the least.

My goal has been to try and get each carrier to be able to launch at least one full squadron from the deck with the correct aircraft working on the carriers they should. So far I've got

Clemenceau 18 aircraft Etendard, Rafale, F/A-18 A/C, E-2, C-5 Greyhound

De Gall 16 aircraft Etendard, Rafale, F/A-18 A/C, Superbug, F-35C, E-2, C-5 Greyhound

L61 12 aircraft Harrier or F-35B

Príncipe de Asturias 12 aircraft Harrier (F-35B should work)

And a few others 🙂

The Mod will will require update both ship and aircfraft lua so it's a bit to sort out, lol. Trying to get the helos now then the landing stuff after that.

Thinking of calling it the Nato Naval Aviation MOD. Here a few more screens

Excellent ! Very impressive work. 👏 As you probably know, the only aircraft operating on the Clemenceau R98 carrier were the Etendard, Super Etendard, Crusader and Alizé aircraft. The only ones on the Charles de Gaulle R91 were the Super Etendard and Rafale, and are now the Rafale and Hawkeye. This might somehow simplify the aircraft lua files update process.... 😉 There are also in the DCS User Files archive some static mission templates for the US Navy carriers, for specific trap, launch, and mixed operations. 🙂 Looking forward to your Mod. Thanks ! 😃

According to my research the Clemenceau class did operate the the Rafale for a short time (maybe it was only Foch). And Look up Operation Chesapeake from 2017. The USN and French Navies did some "cross deck" training with the Charles de Gaulle. They have a full squadron of Rafle and an E-2 operating off the G.W. Bush, and i assume U.S. aircraft operating from the Charles de Gaulle. I've read other reports of US pilots practicing landing on the Charles de Gaulle as well as beside Operation Chesapeake. We also lent the French 2 C-5 Greyhounds at one point. That's why those are included. Being the only two Navies with catapults they are apparently working to ensure some redundancy if things get hot. But yes, under normal circumstances, the aircraft you listed for the French carriers are correct .

Hi Beldin, you are right, the French and US Navy can now operate their aircraft on both carriers. As far as I know, the Rafale is the only foreign fighter authorised to do so. Specific trials and joint exercises see them operate off each other for limited periods of time. But their normal squadrons are such as I mentioned previously. Also, the F-18 was tested on the Charles de Gaulle long ago, and had some suporters in the French Navy, before the Rafale was chosen. Indeed, both Navies cooperate and practice regularly common procedures and training. Further, part of the French Navy candidates are sent to the US for their initial and on board pilot qualifications in a comprehensive cursus. 🙂 Below are two screenshots showing my parking slots for the Clemenceau and Charles de Gaulle to free the landing area and avoid 'fooled deck' signals and unwanted wave-offs.... 🤔 Looking forward to use your Mod. 😉 Thanks for your work 👏

Congratulations for this superb video, once again, I recommend it to everyone, a treat, I love it because you make good use of all the possibilities of the RAFALE, thank you again.

No official date we are still waiting a bit on the side of the HUD and suddenly we are still thinking about some improvements.

Bravo pour cette superbe vidéo, une fois de plus, je l'a conseille à tous le monde un régal j'adore parce que tu exploites bien toutes les possibilités du RAFALE merci encore.

Pas de date officiel on attends encore une peu du côté du HUD et du coup on réflèchis encore a quelques améliorations.

Thanks for the heads up on the parking spots. I'm just about done with the take off side of things.  As for landing and parking what I'm planning will most likely mean that take off from the cats will be disabled. Without elevators I see no way to park that many aircraft without messing with the take off AI. So mission can have take offs at the start and landing at the end. But most likely not both happening during the mission (except maybe a few planes). Sadly I've had ZERO luck with the Mod VTOL aircraft landing on any of the Mod/stock carriers. The Harrier/Tarawa combo works, but no joy with the VSN F-35 vertically landing on anything. Take offs are fine and either stol or vtol depending of load out/weight. But landings......I promise I will at least get the stuff I got for the French carriers posted soon or made available to those interested. 🙂
