RWC Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 (edited) That's why you're my favorite top 3 modder from DCS ! You make things happened ! Respect to you, my friend. I have also put out my second request, to CH and now to you. These are vital to the CDG, in fact. The EC725 Cougar (now called Airbus Helicopter H225M) and the AS-532UL Cougar (Eurocopter). These are such great models ! I just have problems uploading pictures these days on DCS (1 file would exceed the total allowed size of 1.537kB, and was skipped) Maybe you could take a look at them online and see if there ARE any descent models out there to work with. I am positive there are many waiting for these beauties out there. Thanks a million ! *FS 2004 Model ( found here : fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/airbus-h225-h225m.451210/page-6 ) Edited August 11, 2024 by RWC 2
Beldin Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 Updating to DCS 2.9.7.58923 now. As long as that doesn't break anything I should have CDG posted today 4
Beldin Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 (edited) Ok I'm happy to present the French Carrier Charles de Gaulle by the Cuesta brothers, Version 3.0 All asset of this mod belong to their original creators/owners; Source code by Cuesta brothers, Admiral189, Currenthill, cao990, Marroux, toan, and I'm sure I'm forgetting others. Thanks for all your work. Known issues (let's get these out of the way) You MUST have Admiral189's Normandie Frigate mod installed. (needed for Aster15 model) While a nice model there are a few issues I can not fix but they are minor. Model only has 2 gun mounts. It should be 8 or 3 depending on year/fit Model has 16 extra VLS tubes. It should be 4x8 cell. Model has 6x8 Minor glitches with rught side VLS hatch animations A few of the static deck crew may get run over by an aircraft. (causes no damage) Take off, taxi and landing script is (always will be) a WIP. Currently only the Rafale tested for ramp start/taxi. (F/A-18 will be added next) Catapult alignment is off for a few planes from certain spawn points. I will work to fix this. A new bug I've never noticed before. Anti ship missiles sometimes pass through the ship while others hit depending on the angle. LSO view is no longer working, I have no idea why Hopefully I did something stupid and changed my key command Wanting to keep the ship as close to "spec" as possible I ran into some issues with the way the model is configured. My initial attempts to remove/disable the extra missile tubes resulted in the hatches defaulting to their open position in game So that ship got a little weapons upgrade that can easily be ignored (in most cases) if total accuracy is your thing. The 16 extra tubes are loaded with the new MdCN land attack cruise missile. This keeps the hatches closed (if not fired) and if you do not give the ship a fire order in ME they should not fire. Note, If the CDG is in a group that is given a "fire at point order" they may fire. And I'm sure I've missed some other stuff so just PM with any issues or conflicts Now the specs Sensors Thales SMART-S MK2 (Air/Surface search) Range Air 155+ nm (250km) Range Surface 50+ nm (80km) Naval Arabel/SAAM target acquisition radar Range 62+ nm (100km) Datalink & Link4 for operation with US carriers (untested) SAM Systems 4 × 8 cell A-43 Sylver launchers 32 Aster 15 missiles, range 18+ nm (30-40km) 2 × 6 cell Sadral launchers 12 Mistral 3 short-range missiles 5+ nm (6-8km) 2 x8 cell A-70 Sylver launchers with MdCN Land Attack Missiles 760 nm (1,400 km) (see known issues) Guns (functional by still tweaking) 2 x 20 mm modèle F2 gun (orig gun code by cao990) Flight deck. Take off 16 total spawn points (2 runway, 14 ramp start) Landing, WIP Some planes CHARLES DE GAULLE 3.0.zip Edited August 11, 2024 by Beldin 2 2

Hawkeye60 Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 Thanks Beldin! Your work is appreciated Les stations d'épuration, c'est du lourd !

Hawkeye60 Posted August 12, 2024 Posted August 12, 2024 LMAO! Sometimes translations get lost! This has to be the best one so far! It was supposed to read, "les postes de combat sont occupés" The battle stations are armed! 2 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

bbtbmb Posted August 26, 2024 Posted August 26, 2024 hi guys ran into a problem with the CDG & Currenthills new UK pack the logs are saying there is a sensor that is causing a CTD on startup if I remove one or the other it starts fine. 1
LACMenjoyer Posted August 26, 2024 Posted August 26, 2024 Anyone else having trouble getting Rafale’s all jammed up on the CDG? 1

McFly29 Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 Further to the jammed Rafale issue. Is anyone finding that AI Rafale aren’t firing missiles beyond 15-20nm? I don’t know if it’s an issue I’ve got with my DCS or if it’s because when I fly the Rafale it doesn’t give me a RMax, NE and RMin on the hud when locked on?

I was able to get CDG back in service it seems to be the weapon systems that are causing the issue. So I nurtured the CDG's protective screen as it uses the Type 45's missiles, she better have escorts!! btw I do not see the issue of the birds getting stuck on take-off.. 1
Sagal Posted September 22, 2024 Posted September 22, 2024 (edited) With latest CDG v3.0, and Rafale-M from fr3D, the 2nd aircraft controlled by AI from a package of 2 is not taking off from a created mission (No problem with Roosevelt carrier). I even tried to put it in runway 1 and me in runway 2 with no results. Is it a bug? Note: as recommended I have as well Admiral189's Normandie Frigate. Edited September 22, 2024 by Sagal
toni Posted October 7, 2024 Posted October 7, 2024 Any known MP server implements this ship coop with other Carriers ?
Dargaard01 Posted November 8, 2024 Posted November 8, 2024 Hello, I have a question: Is it possible to land with the F/A-18 on the Charles de Gaulle? So far I have not succeeded in hooking into the arrestor wire. Am I doing something wrong or is it simply not possible?
