the drive I'm concerned about is the unit C ... when the Kola Map cames out I will have to choose between upgrading the drive, or uninstalling the WW2 Maps while I immerse myself at Kola

 

A bit off topic but good to see I’m not the only one looking at my drives. I’m planning a fresh installation as my C drive’s been in the red for too long after I stripped maps out. It’s a mess. Just messing with mods is taking up a lot and I’ve yet to download any of these large packs from CH or anyone. Appreciate the work all the Modders put in though. I don’t know how they do it all.

If I get it right then, when they come in big packs we can’t just install those that we use? I get CH not wanting people to be dishing them out or chopping them up but I can see the point where I’ll only either want or have space for a few at a time. Not a big thing for me, like I said, I’ve barely scratched the surface with mods looking at all this lot.

Yeah, a squadron might just do that if they were packaged in a more consumable way.

more consumable way? … I like the current way, in fact I suggested it a very long while ago, as distributing as separate assets complicated sharing missions that used them, and consumed more storage as the diverse assets couldn’t share textures:

Hi CH, any chance of bringing the type 003 carrier to DCS?

It will be so cool.
But a Lianing livrery for Kuznetsov is also accurate

A lot of us don't mind... 75, even 150 GB isn't a lot in my opinion. That's one game these days. Or videos that can go an external SSD. Manage the space you have or upgrade. Simple as that. 

Useless comment, do you know how he organized his computer? I can only be surprised at such mindlessness.

Personally, I also find the current solution suboptimal.  If you are only interested in a few add ons from different countries, downloading huge amounts of gb every time after an update is not particularly efficient. That should really make you think.

But micro-managing assets is not efficient with your time either ... take an example: lets say you employ a few assorted assets on the next mission that you edit, if you later want to share that mission you will need to tell the recipient which mod assets it needs, would you remember which were? ... most likely you would need to write it down a list of assets ... you would then be micro-managing the assets. 

And the update process it would be just as cumbersome, as you would need to keep track of which assets a given mission uses, then update them one by one ... honestly, it is much easier to group the assets into packs ... just one item to update instead of many.

Hi, there is a script-based little software that helps you manage the assets used per mission. I don't remember its name, but should be easy to find. You can activate and deactivate also the assets following your mission evolutions with it. It tells you which assets are missing for any particular mission, and can substtuted by any core one. Quite easy to use. Enjoy.

I can fully understand your view. From the point of view of someone who builds a lot of missions. One idea would be to download complete country sets but to give the user the possibility to decide for each module which one he really wants to install. I have read here the idea of the core elements you absolutely need and install what you want. This could be in a similar way to osmge. This would fulfill the basic idea of currenthill. Those would be my thoughts on the theme.

Hi Rudel, its called MIZ_RML_CONFIG_Utility, where RML stands for 'Required Module List'. It's a 7z archive. My version dates back one year in February 2023, and it states that it was tested on DCS OB 2.8. So, I don't know if updates have been released since then. Hope this helps. You can find it here :

无用的评论，你知道他是如何组织他的电脑的吗？我只能对这种无意识感到惊讶。

就我个人而言，我也认为当前的解决方案并不理想。如果您只对来自不同国家/地区的一些附加组件感兴趣，那么每次更新后都下载大量 gb 并不是特别有效。这真的应该让你思考。

我们一直在享受 Currenthill 投入大量时间和精力免费制作的优秀模组。 毫无疑问，Currenthill 是一位伟大而优秀的创作者。 随着他继续创作，更新他的模组对他来说变得乏味是可以理解的。 Currenthill 被很多人使用，每个人的情况都不一样。 人们对 Currenthill 做出的更新决策会有不同的想法，无论是单独发布每个资产还是将其组织成一个大型的国家资产包，每个资产都有自己的优点和缺点。 例如，Currenthill 会按国家/地区分配所有资产，这将使维护和安装更容易，但更新频率会低很多，许多资产将不得不在后期发布，庞大的资产包可能会导致许多玩家的电脑空间耗尽。 我也很喜欢之前的发布模式，快速的更新频率和高品质简直令人惊叹，单次资源下载不会造成太多网络问题。 但无论如何，Currenthill 是这些资产的所有者。 他有权决定如何释放他的资产。 如果 Currenthill 愿意恢复到单一资产发布，那将是非常令人兴奋的，因为我们可以更快地满足新资产，但如果 Currenthill 觉得这会给他带来负担，并且他不愿意改变发布模式，请理解 Currenthill，我们一直在免费使用 Currenthill 的伟大资产，所以我们不应该给他带来任何负担， 我们应该尊重 Currenthill 做出的任何决定。 （我不是以英语为母语的人，所以我用翻译发送了这条评论。 部分内容可能不准确，敬请见谅。 ）

I stand in solidarity with the Chinese comrade

Well, I for one am grateful for all the amazing work that Currenthill so graciously shares with the community and support his decisions.  If someone doesn't like the way he releases and manages his mods, they should go find some other option.

Attacking someone and saying "your comment is useless, youre mindless" is actually useless and not needed. Like many people have said here, if you don't like it, make assets yourself, or find something else. This day in age with the amount of options we have and the ever growing size of games/videos/downloads. It's time to move away from small amounts of storage and managing your storage. If you can't fit 50GB of storage on your system without issue, I guarantee you it's time to upgrade, or see what you can do to clear space. There are options whether you are poor or rich. Let's try and keep the attacking language to a minimum. You could have easily said "I don't agree with your statement." Instead you decided to insult. Have a good day. 

PS, Another thing to consider is that the way these assets are being put together, it is actually saving total GB size with file sharing.

NSM missile speed is about Mach 3 but IRL it's 3 times slower. I think better is to increase its stealth ability.

The booster will initially speed it up. But it will settle its cruise speed just below Mach 1.0, like the real thing. I will go through all the weapons when updating the country pack the next time, and I will check if the booster needs tweaking.

Hi Currenthill, I really hope to see the release of the Chinese module update package during the Chinese Spring Festival. Thank you for your selfless efforts, and I wish you good health and all the best.

Thanks, just checked, when dist to target is not too short, speed is finally OK

Thanks once again - I'll get in touch with you when the time is near.  As for 3D models I may consider procuring, I have a few ideas but I may not end up buying everything on this list - it's going to be very expensive.  

Alvand class frigate
Moudge class frigate
 

 

Those two would be really useful for Persian Gulf Map.

Hi CH Sir,

As a silent fan always following and quietly supporting and enjoying your top of the line work, i have only one question now and then. And for this time it is a question about the release date on the updated chinese assets pack. Maybe i've missed it along the line . I am loving what i see you are creating and adding on this pack ...... it will really open new great and hard missions for future events and the ability to finally use the Mariana scenery as intended. 

Thank you for everything Sir.

A big and silent fan ....

Thank you!

I don't set release dates, but I can disclose that I'm doing final work on the last asset for this update. When that's done there's a testing phase before release. So we're getting pretty close.

Hi everyone!

Can someone give very short explanation on how to add the esteemed Сurrrenthill's assets to the DCS Olympus?

Dont use his Mods then, very simple.

he makes them for himself, then is kind enough to release them to us.
