I don't think it's possible to code mushroom clouds in dcs.

Assuming we can get an approximation of that in DCS 2.9 after the missile fix, this is now a possibility. I stand corrected.

I never set release dates. As soon as I'm done with all the features, I test and then release. But this time I won't be releasing until the next DCS update. I need the cruise missile fixes to be implemented, otherwise I can't test the missiles correctly. 

Thanks and I'm staying in 2.8 until the cruise missile issue gets fixed.

It would be nice to see some Polish additions in the game as Polish armed forces are going through really big modernization lately including foregin bought or locally produced vehicles like:

KTO Rosomak M1

KTO Rosomak M1M


BWP Borsuk

Mała Narew and Narew SAM based on CAMM and CAMM-ER missiles 


Supported by Soła Radar based on Waran MRAP

Poprad Short-Range Anti air system based on Piorun MANPADS


Leopard 2PL , K2 and K2PL/EX




AHS Krab and K9 SPGs


K239 Chunmoo MLRS based on a Polish Jelcz truck

Seria bom ver algumas adições polonesas ao jogo, já que as forças armadas polonesas estão passando por uma grande modernização ultimamente, incluindo veículos comprados por estrangeiros ou produzidos localmente, como:

KTO Rosomak M1 KTO Rosomak M1M BWP Borsuk Mała Narew e Narew SAM baseados em mísseis CAMM e CAMM-ER  Suportado por Soła Radar baseado em Waran MRAP Sistema antiaéreo de curto alcance Poprad baseado em Piorun MANPADS Leopard 2PL, K2 e K2PL/EX AAPs AHS Krab e K9 K239 Chunmoo MLRS baseado em um caminhão polonês Jelcz

Yes, Interesting.

Hi CH, I was wondering if you could create a much better CH-47D!

@currenthill Hello and many thank for your work, little question HIMARS  ATACM and GMLRS have around 4200 second (1hour) of reload time ? with your permission there is anything to do for reduce that time to 10 minute ?

Thanks, I'll look into it.

I'm sure ED will update the SH-60 at some point. A detailed SH-3 Sea King model would be a great add.

[currenthill]

Good news!

With the latest DCS patch it looks like I have what I need to get the cruise missiles and antiship missiles fixed. I'm currently working on updates for the assets that needs it.

Also very good news: ED (through excellent support by @BIGNEWY) delivered on their announcement of removing the hardcoded issues preventing AI helicopters from using trainable cannons and retractable gear. I will be making updates to the Ka-52 shortly.

[Hawkeye60]

Praise the Apache GODS!

Helo gear is fixed!

I expect great things from you now!

I mean Still!

@currenthill This might not be super relevant anymore, but the MiG-29MU2 vers 1.2 (and maybe 1.3?) causes a CTD when trying to join an MP server on the latest 2.9 OB patch, possibly with something to do with this error message, as it preceded an access violation note every time: 
2023-12-19 16:38:31.750 ALERT APP (Main): Unhandled exception: Descriptor not found weapons.shells.AK630_30_AP

narrowed it down after spending the last 2-ish hours crashing DCS over and over

edit: i'll add its not unique to the MiG-29, other users on the ED discord reported same thing caused by different mod aircraft like the A-4, SU-30, and community Gripen

Hi

Multiple bugs with this update... many addons no longer appear (boats, cannons, etc...) key assignments are also dysfunctional... am I the only one ?

No, I'm seeing the same behavior.

Хорошие новости!

С последним патчем DCS, похоже, у меня есть все необходимое для ремонта крылатых и противокорабельных ракет. В настоящее время я работаю над обновлениями для ресурсов, которые в этом нуждаются.

Также очень хорошие новости: ED (благодаря отличной поддержке со стороны @BIGNEWY) объявили об устранении жестко запрограммированных проблем, не позволяющих вертолетам с искусственным интеллектом использовать обучаемые пушки и убирающееся шасси. В ближайшее время буду делать обновления Ка-52.

Finally,fix missile

So, lot's of people are blaming the problem you describe above on the free third-party mods that hundreds of us use on a regular basis.  While I understand it's not technically a "DCS issue", the problem really messes up playing the game. So, in turn it becomes a DCS issue. I wish someone (smarter than me) would put some effort in to fixing this type of stuff that happens on every other OB update. I mean there has to be something we can do as "Open Beta Testers" to troubleshoot these issues and support the DCS community prior to an update. Maybe better communications with the DCS dev team - IDK.

It was a good opportunity to update the older code for the team, hope it will be useful for you.

I dont want to derail Currenthill's thread, but we can not test unofficial mods in our debug / dev builds, we have to keep our builds vanilla, also we have way to much to test already with the core of DCS, our modules and 3rd party's. 

It is a good idea to remove all unofficial mods when you update, and then add them back once you know your update is working. If you do still have a problem it maybe be up to the mod creator to make changes, or if it is an ED bug / issue for us to look at, then it is best to post the issue in a bug thread. 

thank you

I guess one solution would be to share upcoming structural changes in DCS core with mod makers beforehand, but I guess that's one of the perks of being a third party developer.

Yeah no boats are spawning for me. Ill try to narrow it down to whatever mod it is, but I have like 100 mods installed so its gonna take a while

Same thing was happening to me. I was running version 1.20 of the MIG-29MU2 mod. I updated it to version 1.40 and problem solved. Boats and many ground units were not spawning.

Yeah I had that issue with the main DCS 2.9 update, so that mod is fine. This may be a separate issue. I’ve got many other things to deal with, so I will dedicate my afternoon tomorrow to sifting through my mods to figure out which ones are causing the conflicts. 
 

issue is, I am a very heavy modder (50-60+ mods installed, yeah yeah I know) and mostly play single player, and a lot of my missions that I would like to work on are filled with various assets from many different mod makers. Hopefully it’s nothing too major or gets fixed by ED/individual mod developers quickly, cause I was looking forward to working on some of my missions again now that cruise missiles are functional. 

[Hawkeye60]

I depends upon the mod I guess.

I bet the weapon code was changed.

Big and Small!

And not as tall!
