Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[Ironghost]

Happy New Year to everyone. CH thank you always for your work, in the next updates on your ships, if necessary, will you improve the smoke density of the missiles as I pointed out to you previously? Happy New Year to you too!

No problem. Since I now have my country packs I will make all kind of changes per pack before releasing. It will be a combination of fixes, new assets, changes etc with every country pack release.

For example, here is the current state of the ongoing changelog for the Military Asset Pack Ukraine:

Changelog Military Asset Pack Ukraine 1.1.0

• Added MiG-29MU2 removable pylons
• Added Su-27P1M (JDAM-ER/AGM-88/ADM-160B)
• Fixed JDAM-ER flight issue
• Fixed MiG-29MU2 damage model error messages
• Fixed MiG-29MU2 missing lights
• <more to come>
   

Very nice. Also, it will be great to see MiG-29's intake shields opening animation implemented. For now, they stay closed after takeoff.

Yep, forgot to add, it's been fixed.

Edit: Or so I thought, this one needs more investigation...

AGM-158 anti-ship from B-21-do nonullt work?The B-21 did not attack the Karakurt

[alik93]

@ivan-ivanov-1902 - what if you tried to set the altitude of the B-21 at, for example, 7000 m instead of what I guess is ~2100 m from the screenshot. Does the launch happen then?

That's strange, I did a test with the same setup and had no issues.

Hello CH! 
 

time to put in a suggestion. I was thinking maybe some more Russian artillery? I think one you could do would be the Russian Tornado-S, similar to HIMARS. One of the variants is based of the Smerch MLRS already in game, so possible reusable asset there. Other variants too, such as this truck mounted version pictured here. As always just a suggestion, love ur work.

I do really like infantry details and high res textures in CH mod, but animation is soooo bad...Also there is only one  static stand up position for infantry which looks so unrealistic during combat. Are there any similar mods you guys can advice with NATO/Russia/USA infantry models with decent animation?

To all of you who are here today, December 31st, 2023, I wish you all a happy new year and a wonderful 2024 with DCS Mods and the world at large.

Hello Currenthill, noticed a bug with the KH-101 exhaust smoke. Up close it looks fine, contrails at high altitude, and less visible at lower altitudes. However, from far away, the less visible smoke becomes very thick; seems to be unintentional. This doesn't seem to be the case with other default or modded cruise missiles that I have seen. Here are too images, one zoomed out a decent distance, and another zoomed out an incredibly long distance. Note the images were taken at the same time.

@currenthill Am i doing something wrong, i deleted the old files and used the new packs from the downloads.

Ive put the folders into the Tech folder but DCS refuses to boot, i get past the Nvidea splash screen then it just returns to the desk top., if i remove the CH folders the game starts fine.

Do i need to add the sub folders (database, encyclopedia liveries etc) into the Tech folder or just the Asset pack folder as in the screenshot below becuae when i did that the entry.lua over wrote and only the last added Asset Pack was avialible in the editor.

Thanks in advance, i cant play DCS without your mods, its like going back to Lock On.

I'll take a look.

Yep, the asset pack folder with all the subfolders goes into your C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech. 

If you extract the main asset folder it should automatically create the subfolders below (Database, Shapes, Sounds etc). 

I don't quite understand how anything can be overwritten if you do it like that.

If it still doesn't work there has to be some sort of conflict going on. Check your log.

So you enter the thread of my assets and ask for advice to replace them? I suggest you ask elsewhere.

Hi! Can you make X-101 to drop flares?

Haha, I was all over that when I saw the pictures. But unfortunately I can't think of a way to add flares to cruise missiles in DCS.

The closest we have in DCS the decoy schemes which will allow for chaff to be released.

Ха-ха, я был полностью поглощен этим, когда увидел фотографии. Но, к сожалению, я не могу придумать способ добавить сигнальные ракеты к крылатым ракетам в DCS.

Самое близкое, что у нас есть в DCS, - схемы-приманки, которые позволят выпускать chaff.

 

You can't put flare instead of chaff?

Nope, the chaff feature is hard coded in the scheme.

Нет, функция chaff жестко запрограммирована в схеме.

Will the flashes from the lighting bombs not work?

Hey Current Hill, 

One of my January Tasks is to add all your 1.0.0 mods to my database did you get around to sorting operational information? (No worries if not I'll do it manually if needed)

Send me a message in Discord (currenthill) and we'll take a look at this.

Just for information, something seems to be wrong with the CH Military Assets Pack of Russia and Iran. When I copy one of them to my Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech folder DCS won't start. The other assets packs work fine. Maybe it's caused by one of my other mods but it is hard to figure it out.

[flyingscotsman]

Hi Ithronwise,

                          FYI, yep it'll be a previous old asset from Currenthill that's causing the problem, there are about 3 pages of what to do, if you go back on this thread about 3 or 4 pages.

Currenthill has been answering this for some time in the past week or so.

Flyingscotsman is absolutely correct! I was dealing with the same issue. The issue was resolved once I deleted all the old Mods. Best of luck, and enjoy!

I added a new entry in the about DCS crashing and units not spawning: FAQ: https://www.currenthill.com/faq

I've also just added the brake parachute for the Tu-160M2. But don't fool yourselves, don't try to land this behemoth on a short runway unless you have very little fuel left.
