Unsure if it is intended: Fires guns at Vikhrs but does not hit them from any distance

@currenthill Update: there must have been some issue with my first tests, in practice the Pantsirs do in fact fire missiles and guns and hit vikhrs regularly depending on angles, distance, and height above ground when launched.

Meaning that the stable version of DCS is not stable?  Anyway, excellent asset packs, and most of them works just perfect also in the stable unstable version of DCS   Maybe I should switch to the beta, it's just that I have no urge to update the sim every two weeks.

Yep, it's a double-edged sword. There are pros and cons with both versions. But I develop everything on the latest DCS Open Beta since it will give me the latest DCS features.

Hey guys, Armored Patriot here. 

I downloaded the Current hill American pack. i set up a ciws unit and new patriot. I also downloaded the RWR AND HARM ID pack. installed it and replaced the 2 items with the old ones in the scripts folder. and i get the patriot and ciws on RWR but NOT on my HAARMS or my HAD! 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you 

Unfortunately the HARM stuff is out of my wheelhouse. I just collect the data from my assets and present them in these configurations. Maybe other users know more about this and can help? But thank you for reminding me to update the RWR and HARM ID pack with the latest units.

Good day sir! I've noticed that there are some problems with LACM(spinning around, some flying correctly, usually 2-4 missiles are broken), especially with 3M14T launched from Project 11356R admiral grigorovich class frigate(LACM) and there were a problem with KH-555 from TU-160 once, 2 missiles initially were flying correctly, but after 5-10min started to spin. Mission that shows both problems is below. (I checked versions every pack is up-to-date). Thank you!

It looks like you're not using the latest DCS Open Beta, or an older asset of mine. This was an issue that was corrected with the latest Open Beta together with my latest Military Asset Pack Russia. And I just tested, and it works fine. No circling.

Hello @currenthill and thanks for your awesome work.

Question about the Iranian Shahed 136 LM. Is it supposed to launch its drones? I can have the truck open its  trail but when setting a fire at point, nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Make sure your target point is outside the green minimum range zone and inside the red maximum range zone.

Great!

i may need to buy a larger SSD just for all of your mods CH

[mmarques]

Would love to see a russian drone such as an Orion, Orlan or Forpost, don't think there's any mods for one.

[pepin1234]

How can I separate a single unit mod from the whole Russian package? I want to share a single unit to a buddy to get installed for a particular mission instead he download the whole package

Anything is possible, but it isn't something I support. And it will become a lot harder with every update since I consolidate more of the configurations.

Keep in mind if we gonna make a multiplayer mission, downloading 10gb only for a single package gonna be a hard task for some people.

If you're interested there is a Forpost mod with is modified Russian version of the old JTACLase script. It used to work in 2.8 on my Syrian Civil War server, but haven't tried it since. It could be useful in the meantime!

I was having the same issue of crash on startup with the USA assets pack. I thought I had cleaned out all the old CH files, but ended up noticing that I had missed the B-21 that was in "aircraft" folder instead of "tech" like all the other old assets.  So if you are crashing go check and make sure you got rid of that one as well.

Asked Chizh about opening configs to create SS missile mods, and he replied

"This will not happen. <...> We ourselves will develop the direction of ballistic missiles."

 

[mkrasin]

Idea for future: C-17 and CH-53 - probably one of the most outdated models with pretty much no mod alternatives.

I couldn't agree more! DCS World needs an updated C-17A and the CH-53! It would be amazing if CH could complete these much-needed assets!

We'll see. As a general note, in the latest newsletter ED announced the 2024 release of new naval and ground units. And the 2024 and beyond video showed some of them (Abrams, MaxxPro). Since I spend a lot of time making the assets I will have to chose my projects carefully in the future. I don't want to invest a lot of time into assets that ED will be releasing in a couple of months. It's definitely a guessing game, but I'll try to keep away from assets that ED likely will release.

Yep, I wish modding support was more of a thing, a well documented open framework would be amazing.

Hahahahaha! Nothing ever takes that short of a time to complete. I would not be surprised if we don't see those assets until late 2024 at the earliest and likely with whatever the thing is that was mentioned will bring the high detail B-1 and S-3 assets. Any mod is a good mod and I will likely enjoy it but I fully understand not investing in mods that will eventually be replaced by the developer.

Hey do the HARM IDs break IC for anyone else?

It should, since the file is installed in the core DCS folder. It won't work if installed in the saved games folder.  

[Chap2012]

Hey @currenthill. I know you get tons of requests and ideas. So i have refrained from those kind of comments. However, making a mission yesterday... I realized that we have zero Chinese helicopters. That would be a nice addition that I doubt ED Is working on.

I did so: downloaded a whole 10 Gb pack, deleted textures of unnecessary units and size became 1,7 Gb

Hi. I want to inform you that the Russian Pantsir-S1 and Pantsir-S2 are broken. I place them in the mission editor, but when I launch a mission, they just don't exist. They won't spawn at all. At the same time, when I put the Tor on, everything worked perfectly. And the Pantsir doesn't work.

Hi, I want to inform you  that you have issues with your installation. Clean up all  your mods and reactivate CH only!

Currenthill what do you think of a mod of the Russian Buk-M3 air defense system

As long as you buy him a suitable 3d model or give him the necessary funds for the 3d model, he'll do it.

Yep! I also believe that would be a good candidate. I'm currently searching for a suitable model of the Z-10 or the Z-19. So it's definitely on the table.

I actually have a Buk M3 system in the works. Including the TAR, CP, TELAR and FCR.

@currenthill not sure if you do older weapons & units, but this used to be in Swedish & British service:

Would be interesting in Cold War Europe scenarios (Kola peninsula?)
