Bryan - Flash Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Can we get a Smokey SAM rocket in the game. Basically it is a unguided Rocket that is fired to replicate a SAM launch. It is used during Red Flag to give the participants the illusion of being fired at. It puts a big white plume of smoke in the air. It was also used in the Gunsmoke competitions. Reading from the book "Red Flag". It describes the little rocket at ("Smokey SAM" rocket simulates smoke trail of ground launched anti-aircraft missiles.) The official name is the GTR-18 Smokey SAM. I would like to add the smoke effects of being shot at while not having the mission participants dying from eating a SAM. So we can debrief their reactions or lack there of. There are single and four missile launchers. Below is a picture of some Stinger missile training with aircraft. After they get a tone. The Smokey SAM is fired to indicate that they got a tone on the aircraft. Edited January 16, 2023 by Bryan - Flash Title change 3
Kang Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Having this could be a lot of fun for some missions. 1
Bryan - Flash Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 I tried the Navy Equipment mod and could not get the Smoky SAM to fire.
Bryan - Flash Posted January 17, 2023 Author Posted January 17, 2023 Not a mod. It's hard enough making sure all players have the same mods. then you have to worry about conflicting mods. This needs to be part of DCS. As it is. I can't get that mod to work. 2
Rick Mave Posted Friday at 11:09 PM Posted Friday at 11:09 PM +1, this deserves a bump. Would also add a configurable MUTES of some sort to this. 1 Jagdbombergeschwader 35

Saguanay Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago That's cool, thanks. What triggers it to fire? I was floating around it in a CF-5. I would get the launch indication and see the booster smoke but its kinda short lived.
