Hi everyone

 

MANUEL FRANCAIS : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uWFApojSvny-yyGpYo1JMsEnUE1wrlu8/view?usp=sharing

ENGLISH MANUAL : https://drive.google.com/file/d/15_Y-kyroGvRLRzOMN-eAfdxzIyf6WDoW/view?usp=sharing

 

Erratum : In the manual I sometimes talk about the "FrenchPackScript.lua", it's a mistake of mine, the new name is "ModpackScript.lua".

 

Please make yourself sure to have followed the installation instructions.

And read the changelog, for the 4.9.1 it's important.

-----------FRA

Le script du pack a été très fortement complété pour améliorer l'expérience sur Combined Arms et en hélico.

Au programme, outre ce qui est déjà décrit dans le manuel principal PDF : 

- Possibilité de se faire spawn son groupe Leclerc+reco+ravito
- Les blindés ENI, pour peu qu'ils soient placés en groupe seul (une unité dans un groupe) et sans WP, immobile donc, feront face à la menace prioritaire pour max le blindage. Ils peuvent également procéder à une manoeuvre aléatoire. 
- Si vous avez de l'artillerie à disposition (pareil pour l'IA ennemie), si un véhicule au sol repère un SAM ou un hélico (joueur ou IA) en statio TBA, l'artillerie tirera dessus. 
- Tir de suppression : un tir roquettes ou bombe réussi sur un groupe le fera cesser le feu pendant quelques instants.(5-30 sec) Vous devez toucher au moins un véhicule du groupe pour que ça marche. (limitation pour éviter les abus) 

Fonctionnement de ces éléments du script : 

- Vous pouvez à tout moment de la mission poser un marker sur la carte (les cercles rouges). Veuillez noter que la mission doit être récente.

Si vous le nommez :

- XL un groupe bleu de chars avec reco et ravito apparaitra.
- XLAGR un groupe rouge.
- XLDES un groupe bleu avec leclerc camo désert.
- XLDESAGR un groupe rouge avec leclerc camo désert. 

Une fois fait, le joueur utilise exclusivement le leclerc appelé "XL". C'est marqué dans la case en bas à gauche en vue f-10 quand vous cliquez sur le char. 

Le groupe comprend les éléments suivants : XL, à savoir vous et 106, le leclerc ailié. Atlas, le VBL de reco. Cubi, le TRM de ravitaillement. Par le biais des menus radio F-10, vous pouvez : 

- Demander à être suivi ou pas pour chaque élément. 
- Leur autoriser le tir ou non. 
- Demander à Atlas de partir en reco à 1500 m ou 2500 m en avant de vous. 
- Demander à Atlas de faire des Sitrep : il signalera tout véhicule ou engin ENI qu'il verra dans un rayon de 4000 m. Ca tient parfaitement compte de la ligne de visée d'atlas. 
- Demander à Cubi de venir vous ravitailler. 

L'idée était clairement d'arrêter de passer tout son temps sur la vue F-10, ça marche super bien. 106 vous signalera s'il engage, vous fera un Sitrep sur ses muns et son état. 

Tout ce que vous avez à faire de votre côté est charger le script dans un trigger. (Voir PDF si vous savez pas comment faire)

 

--------EN 

Please note that text messages in this script are in french, you can modify them or translate them editing the script, all the new functions start from line 2785.

This script has been deeply completed to improve the CA and helicopter experience ingame.

Main features are, not counting the features already described in the PDF :

- Ability to spawn a combat group with 2 Leclercs, one VBL recon vehicle, on repair/rearm truck. 
- ENI tanks and IFV, if they are the only unit of their group (ie : one group with one unit) and if they are not moving, will face their main threat to maximize armor. They too can proceed to a random maneuver. 
- If you have some artillery, when a ground vehicle detects a SAM or a very low altitude, hovering helicopter, the artillery will be tasked to shoot at him. 
All which is needed is a vehicle, a proper target and an arty group in range.It works on both sides even without player. 
- Suppression fire : a successful rockets or bomb shot on a group will cause him to cease fire for a random amount of time (5-30 sec). You must hit at least one vehicle. (To avoid gameplay spamming)

Way of working of this part of the script : 

- You can at any moment place a marker on the Map (the red circle), if you name it : 

- XL a blue group with leclercs, recon, and refuel/rearm will appear. 
- XLAGR a red group with leclercs, recon, and refuel/rearm will appear. 
- XLDES a blue group with desert leclercs, recon, and refuel/rearm will appear. 
- XLDESAGR a red group with desert leclercs, recon, and refuel/rearm will appear. 

Once done, they player MUST only use the leclerc called XL. It's written in the left bottom panel when you click on the tank in F-10 view.

Group is composed of the following elements : XL, which is you and 106, the leclerc "wingman". Atlas, the recon VBL. Cubi, the refuel/rearm TRM-2000. Using the F-10 others radio menus, you can : 

- Ask each of them to halt or follow you. 
- Ask them to fire or not. 
- Ask Atlas to proceed to a recon mission 1500 or 2500 m ahead of you. 
- Ask Atlas to give you a Sitrep of what he sees 4000 m around him (in his line of sight, if the badguy is behind a tree he won't see him)
- Ask Cubi to come for rearming. 

The idea really was to stop using the F-10 map and simply stay in the tank. It works damn well. 106 will inform you when he engages, and will make you a Sitrep of his ammo and global status on a regular basis. 

All what you need to do on your side is to load the script in a trigger. (See the PDF if you don't know how to do it)

Ehe modernity, everything gets lost and worst

Looks like Google drive has a download quota and that with near 700 downloads in 12 hours, it simply locked it for 24h. I will fix this ASAP so it can't happen again. 

 

Should be fixed.

My fault, excuse me. The AMX is great fun, and widely used around, for example in Argentina, recently added to DCS as a country.

 

I have been a big fan of the 14.5mm MG of the pick up. Is there any chance of seeing it in a static mount without the car? Maybe in a small patch?

Ehehe unless you're able to code one... 

[guimcdo]

Great job Dimi, as usual, happy new year to you too, and see you soon, in Kamov

[Geschirre]

Is anybody having trouble with Super Carrier missing after installing this mod?  It appears in Mission Editor, but once I start a mission it is missing. I looked around and couldn't find any forum mentioning this problem on this post or previous versions.  I installed the "FRENCHPACK_V4 CORE" into my mods/tech folder and have the objects, thank you.  I am not interested in the CA or the script enhancements. Thanks.
