You're the boss! Amazing!
I can't wait to try this pack!

[Gripenens]

This quite literally beats every single mod out there so far!

[Kappa-131st]

Do you have an idea of when you will release the first version of your pack?

That‘s an awesome squad!!!!!!

[Kappa-131st]

Any news ?

[Green Leader]

Very cool mod! Any update?

[isglas]

Any updates? Awesome work so far! Can’t wait to play around with it!

The asset list is frozen for version 1.00.

I'm doing release version 1.00 testing in iterations right now. Fixed a large number of issues the last couple of days and have found more today. Small things, but since it's 37 assets by now, there are a lot of test cases. 

These are the version 1.00 assets.

Up to now, I expected not to purchase anymore Maps and concentrate on mastering more aircrafts, but having all these assets available is really making me re-consider and get the Kola Map when it's released, thank you so much @currenthill, for creating these 

 

[currenthill]

Status update: 217 (58%) of 370 test cases done. 

[Kappa-131st]

Thanks for this status update !

Good luck for the testing!

[cerealex]

Can´t wait for this!! Thanks for your work and feedback!!

Does this mean that you will release the mod when the testing is done?

That is the plan, but it's of course dependent of what kind of issues I find during testing. So far I've mostly found small stuff that I fix as I go. 

As it's the version 1.00 I'll be releasing, there will be a couple of known issues as well. Because there are stuff that takes much longer to fix, so I'll probably take care of them in the following version.

Updated first post with the remaining version 1.00 assets. 

[currenthill]

Updated the first post with an updated UndE 23 and RBS 70 and RBS 90 system setups. To clarify that the UndE 23 STR is required for the RBS 70 and 98, and will greatly enhance the RBS 90 performance.

[Kappa-131st]

Can we have a table of range for weapons or radar ?

For example : "RBS90 will work standalone with limited range" => What range for RBS90 with & without UNDE23 ?

[djuice]

I so can not wait, the base game lacks modern NATO/Western SAM systems. Take all the time you need to get things right.

[currenthill]

Testing is going according to plan. So I guess it's time to have the talk now.

<Manage expectations mode: ON>

• This is a one-person hobby project, as I have a full-time job!
• There will be smaller issues that I won't catch in testing, since there are so many assets (thousands of lines of code, closer to 90 EDMs and hundreds of textures).
• I'm aware of a lot of time consuming issues like too high poly count models, models with lack of details etc, these will be fixed one by one over time in iterations. Main focus now is to release the version 1.00 as a starting point. I'm not a fan of waterfall projects that never finishes.
• It's very large in size due to the amount of assets, models and textures. Dial-up users won't be happy!

<Manage expectations mode: OFF>

And one more thing...

When released I truly welcome user reported issues in this thread, I will track these for future iterations. But please refrain from focusing too much on weapon specifications. I do a lot of research, as do probably a lot of you, but as you know OSINT sources often differs in their facts. And since we'll probably never know the correct answer for most of these questions, there is no point in arguing them. I spend a lot of time trying to emulate weapon system function, not design. 

I do my best to implement realistic weapon systems that won't be overpowered. Be aware though, some of these assets may feel overpowered just because they are much more modern than many of the ED assets in DCS.

Great post, looking forward to employ these assets on my missions  
 

… hope you are ready for all the people that will:

 

- install it wrong and then claim that its bugged.

- use the assets for a day and then ask why you didn't include X, Y or Z.

- ask for more liveries, as they are so quick and easy to make.

- claim that they don’t work as in real life, as if they could do it better

 

 don’t pay me any attention, just being a bit sarcastic after reading the feedback of so many other Mods.

Hi Rudel, you say that liveries are "so quick and easy to make". Well, I'm totally ignorant in this field (and modelling, etc). So, would you have some pointers on the Net that provide basic knowledge about livery design and implementations ? Thanks for your help. Fly low....

I was being sarcastic, but here is an excellent guide "the ins and outs of dcs liveries" by Sid, that illustrates the complexities of dcs skinning, using just a single aircraft for examples, the Sabre … and yes, every dcs vehicle has its own nuances:
