Hello,

Congratulations on a great looking MOD.

Is there an updated link for download as the current one does not seem to work.

Thanks.

Here it is, not quite perfect, its hard to match the existing aircraft to this version so this is my closest compromise.  This skin will fit all three versions of the Mod inc the folding.

16/11/21 - Updated Link:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs0rjggglfpe8sj/Polish Naval Merlin.zip?dl=0

The red warning box near the tail has the word Danger in it, the actual aircraft has something in Polish above that but I could not find an image good enough to read it, if anyone has an image pass it on and I'll update the skin. (Something I can actually read please, I can make guesses for myself but decided not to do that) !!

The Number on the side is also a bit of a guess, again no clear image of the actual aircraft to work from, the last number could any one of several. 

 

Can we get a new link to this livery, please?

[crazyeddie]

This is the latest version I have in my game, its been ages since I looked at this but I think it still works.  Includes the Polish skin.

Any weapons mods available to carry ASW weapons?

[OrdinaryPilot]

Is there any way to make a Merlin Crowsnest AEW variant?

I'd be happy even if it doesn't have the updated model!

@crazyeddie@Admiral189

[andyc]

any plans for a Westland Lynx or Wildcat ?

[CRUD]

Any chance we can get an update on this mod?

[crazyeddie]

There are no updates for this Mod, the original AI only is still all you get, sorry. 

We have no plans do any other helo's - this was a one off for both of us, a little experiment to see if we could actually make it work. Neither of us make cockpits or anything like that. 

If somebody created a Crowsnest Mod from scratch I could find a way to add that to the side of the heo as a weapon add on (perhaps), or something like that. 

There are no weapon add ons to make it an ASW mod, ED is not configured to be able to drop air drop torpedos from helo's, you can add any bomb you want, or even a type 45 torpedo, but they will only drop like bombs. (And always miss - I have tried it !!)

Note sure what version I had but when I was using this this mod for testing the landing gear spawn height was off. I only updated one of the two versions but I can check the other one and post the update later in case anyone else needs it.

ASW Version

MK-46 Torpedos

Replace this lua.

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rmpiv39au9rfdq3qqgkqq/eh101r.rar?rlkey=zng47tdqrdc771tlyc4jdol04&st=1jnpbij3&dl=0

The lua above will add the Mk46 Torpedo to the 4 Pylon spots, but they wont drop like air drop torpedo's, they will drop like iron bombs. The closest I ever gor to an air drop weapon was by adding a Russian FAB250 M54-TU, that is an air drop para retard bomb, it looks similar when falling ... but its still a bomb.  (If it looks like a bomb and it drops like a bomb you can be pretty certain - its a bomb !!)

I also tried to find something that looked similar to a depth charge, so added the FAB-250 - its roughly the same sizer and shape as a Naval Air Drop depth charge, that of course drops like a bomb and goes bang like a bomb, because its a bomb !!

The Royal Navy were saying at some point a couple of years ago that they intended to add some kind of AGM weapon to the type but i have never seen one so armed, and I live in an area where I see lots of them. 

 

SO - You could try these Pylon settings.   (Like I said earlier, I could hardly ever get them to hit a moving target - the game isnt configured for this kind of stuff)

Looks good. Hopefully DCS will add ASW and AEW to helicopters soon.
