NEW Charles de Gaulle 2022 Version 003 for 2.7.14 by Cuesta brothers industrie

[Beldin]

Hello all. I have a new updates for CDG and Clemenceau. Both have updated and correct as possible weapons updates and I've created multiple units and liveries for Foch and Clemenceau so they can be used together as separate units. Once I have made this update stand alone and have final permission from all to post I will.

Amazing news! You are doing amazing work. Any news on the F-8 you hinted at, it would be a great AI asset for some Cold War scenarios. 🫡

[Beldin]

Thanks, F-8 is still a ways off I'm afraid. There is an amazing commercial one in the works I believe. (hope it's still going). But a new Ford Class carrier coming soon. As for "Cold War" there have been some great new ship releases for that era recently and I think VSN has most of the planes. I have some updates for Forestall and Kuznetsov that add spawn point to the deck I'll post soon.

Hello,
Thanks for all that work.
With the new carrier file, it is now possible to fly in multiplayer but only with hosting on your PC.

With a dedicated server, I haven't found the solution, I think you have to put the Charle de Gaulle file on the online server.
I tested by putting it in the saved game and directly in the DCS mods/tech, on the online server, nothing to do.
In the first case the mission crashes and in the second, the Charles de Gaulle does not appear.

Nobody has addressed this buddy's post. I am trying to make a video, and track file as per usual doesnt work. I hear its better if you do on dedicated server, but when I try to load CDG on dedicated server it disappears and my aircraft on CDG crashes into water. 

Is there a way to get the CDG to work on dedicated servers?

Also, RAFALE skins disappear and RAFALES go to default skin. Also they dont follow waypoints. 

When I launch from Mission Editor on my PC, everything works fine, except the Track file of course, so I cant make proper videos.

I am starting to look into how to make a MOD carrier work for MP on another project. Anything I learn I will share and try to apply to CDG.. For making videos have you tried video capture software. I've had ok results with it

I got the CDG to work on dedicated server by installing the mod on the server itself. So happy times. 

But the Rafale skins dont work and Rafale statics dont spawn on CDG. I tried doing same with Rafale, installing modnon server did not work.

Is there a new version for 1.8 ?  I tried to trap with the Hornet several times with no success in a single training mission

Same question here. Does anyone have a fully updated version of the CDG that works with DCS 2.9, because all the ones available now, do not seem to work for me.

This 'update' version refers to add the update to VERSION 003 2.7.1 : where can i find this version ?

Please upload and link in here.

 

Même question ici. Quelqu'un a-t-il une version entièrement mise à jour du CDG qui fonctionne avec DCS 2.9, car toutes celles disponibles actuellement ne semblent pas fonctionner pour moi.

Veuillez télécharger et nous lier ici, s'il vous plaît.

You got me wondering about this carrier

One of my favorites from the Brothers.

So I loaded her up and took a gander!

Bon sang de bonsoir !

I found I also had the entire Carrier fleet!

 

All in one handy package.

I share here.

Tested just now with todays patch

I have not tried to launch ai or player

I was too  Google en ligne de mire to try!

Ehjoy, I sure do!

@Rudel

You might reconsider these beauties

They make the oceans shine!

Over a gig in size

And more!

I thank them!

I understand they were waiting for a patch to fix some issues before up-dating all their mods.

We will wait.

In the mean time

GET TO THE FLIGHT LINE!

 

 

[Beldin]

I have working updates for both French carriers with correct radars and weapons (as much as the model allows).

They require Admiral189"s "Normandie" frigate because the CDG SAMs use his Aster15 model.

I forget what SAMs I did for the Clemenceau because while very nice the edm/model in the version I have does not have the correct SAM launchers fitted.

But I will make the CDG lua and runway files available soon and take another look at Clemenceau. I think the edms in the post above are the same that I'm using.

I am blown away !  Thank you so much @ Hawkeye60 for responding and sharing your mod on the CDG. I thought no one even noticed she went missing, while she is such a beauty indeed and such an important part of the French navy !  I already feared the worst, really ! 

Thanks again !!!

Hi @Beldin, thank you for responding and noticing this thread. I really didn't want to bother you since you were working on so many mods at the same time. I surely know that it was on your list , and i'm glad to hear you're still working on it. She is a MUST HAVE, when it comes to the French fleet !

I am following you as I always have , and wait patiently till this sun comes up !!! Can't wait, as many others do as well, I'm sure !

So, I had sent cao990 my "finished" CDG to test. He just sent back something with unknown changes/updates/fixes. Message basically just said "better"  Once I look at what he did and retest I will post the CDG stuff..

I also need to check what Hawkeye posted because there are a few different CDG edms out there.

That is correct, Beldin m8. The one he just posted as CHARLES DE GAULLE 2.9.31 , is in fact the old CHARLES DE GAULLE 2.7.10 version, and probably he updated it somehow.

I just installed it to see how it runs, and I am wondering if he added some update that made it to version 2.9.31.

Hi Beldin and Hawkeye,

i just tried this version from Hawkeye, and DCS doesn't even start up with these versions installed. DCS crashes with these versions for me.

When i removed these, DCS worked fine again. 

So that version is outdated unfortunately.

So i need someone else to test those versions, so i can see if it's me or that version 2.9.31.

[Hawkeye60]

A couple things

The versions I posted I only up-dated the version number to keep all straight in my head

I did try this in my DCS and it did work

See the screens above, taken today

And The version cao990  sent to Beldin, and me, was because the one I posted had a conflict with the MAM mod

So I will post this version here

He also sent me the D651_Normandie

I do not know why! But what the hay! MOO!

I will Post it as well!

Thank  you @cao990 !
 

I also understand Beldin has done some good work on the lua

So perhaps wait for his up-dated files before using it in missions.

TALLY HO!

They go together well!

Every Carrier needs support ships!

[Beldin]

I'm not sure If I sent cao990 my lua updates for Admiral189's Normandie.

I have fixed the SAMs issues caused by the last update. Admiral should have have my files or his own fixes done, but I'm not sure if he posted them.

I also added the MdCN naval cruise missile as well but I don't recall if I had the correct model for it..

I'll look that over as well and double check with the Admiral about what he currently have posted

 

[Beldin]

So I looked at cao's CDG and he's using different sensor ranges and has added the longer range Aster30 missiles. I'm not sure if this is the correct load out. But I'm also not sure how up to date wikipedia is regarding the CDG current fit. So I'll poke around for other sources and see. As for sensor range there again seems top be some differences in sources  and what radar is doing what. Meaning the different radars, suface, air search and missile tracking can have different ranges. I think cao used the tracking radar range for the search radar. where I have a much longer search range. Not my tracking range was to long this worked because the SAM range was limited to the missile itself. I will double check this and reset the tracking range to what cao is using. But keep the longer search radar range as I think the CDG should be able to share that data with other units, maybe.

Also this gets very confusing because DCS only seems to allow for 1 time of air search while ships sometime have both 2d and 3d systems

But if anyone has a good reference site for the current Charles De Gaulle fit/ missile load out please link it

Awsome and thank you HAWKEYE !!! 

Does this mean you removed the MAM mod for these to work ?

Funny how it is always a give up and take with DCS because of all the updates and changes...... Modders almost can't keep up with updating for mods to keep working !

I have an older version of MAM install and I'm not having issues with CDG.

So researching the CDG and her weapons weapons the current edm I have is not a perfect match. But it's really darn close as the only issues seem to be some extra VLS tubes and one missing 20mm gun turret. The model has 6x8 cell VL tube, 3 per side. Looking at pictures and different sites it should be a total of 4x8 VL tubes, 2 per side. I need to add in the SADRAL Missile Defense System as the model does have those fitted. I just need to sort out what stock missile to use or create a custom MISTRAL SAM and add the code.

Sounds really complicated, but i sure do appreciate what you're doing. Have you talked to Admiral or CH about it ? Maybe they have some good tips you can use in the implementations.

[Beldin]

I'm getting close. I have the Mistral fitted using the stock ED Mistral edm. The are firing bit not hitting the targets for some reason

[RWC]

Awsome news my friend !!!

[Beldin]

Both Aster 15 Mistral are working. Tweaking the guns now. There looks to be minor glitch with one of the taxi routes, but I may just ignore it for now since it's with plan 11 or 12.
