Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[RafaPolit]

Yeah, maybe it's not for everyone

[CommandT]

Dear Currenhill,

Love your work, thanks a gazillion for all your efforts. Just a quick question - the Kola map is imminent which means a large portion of DCS users will be blowing the dust off their Viggens (including myself) but we currently have no Swedish ground equipment of any sort to populate the Swedish airfields with. Is there any chance at all you could add some Swedish fuel trucks, supply trucks, maybe a GPU from the 90s, to your Swedish Assets Pack?

Cheers!

Hi CH, it appears that your last USA Asset Pack zip folder only contains a couple of units. I suspect that the ones you've just updated are in the download but the 1.1.0 assets are missing. This is all I can see in the Database folder:

Haha, thanks!

No matter how I do it, it creates confusion.

Hey everyone.

Just installed the latest US pack and DCS is refusing to start. I am getting the following errors according to the .log:

Any ideas?

[EvilBert VR]

Ah! Nevermind. I got it. Just deleted the single M551.
Working!

Ah, thanks for that! I obviously hadn't had my morning coffee!

it's a shame we can't implement more types of evasive maneuvers, like snaking.

I'm 99% sure I remember seeing the RBS-15 snaking on it's way to a ship. But it's been a few version of DCS since I have really looked at the Anti-Ship missiles, but I'm pretty sure they did have some defensive maneuvers before

I've tried different techniques to achieve a more advanced terminal maneuver. For the RBS 15 I implemented a combination of very low altitude on half and jump on half, to make is harder for the CIWS to counter. I've also tried things like setting the GPS error to a high setting which will make the missile turn hard when turning on its seeker. They are all better than nothing, but they're still workarounds.

I was talking about the "stock" DCS RBS-15 for the Viggen I think. But now I want to do a bunch of anti-ship missile tests and see what the latest stuff is doing

I need to update to your latest packs but I missed my chance the other day as the links were all overloaded. But once I get updated I'll do some testing with the anti-ship missiles as I could swear the stock RBS-15 did run a snake pattern on it's way to target.

If I remember correctly, you could set waypoints for the Viggen RBS 15. But I believe that's actually programming happening inside the player aircraft. I don't believe it works for AI.

SPEAR 5 does the best evasive maneuver

but even that is always shot down by C-RAM

 

sooo more frigates it is

Hi @currenthill ... first of all, thanks a lot for all the assets that you have created for the DCS users community, and provide them for free, I have been able to use many of them on my own missions 

 

Now that the Kola Map is about to be released, I wonder if you could consider some airbase support vehicles for Sweden's unique road bases system, some items like these:

 

 

 

 

 

None of this are my photos, I got them at Wikipedia, just to illustrate the kind of vehicles I'm thinking of   

Of course I understand that you maybe in the middle of modeling other items, but thought I would just ask.

Greetings,

Good day Mr Currenthill,

Loving the look of the new packs, the US one in particular is obscenely good. Do you think that going forwards on future updates to that pack (if you plan to of course) that you would consider adding the LCS classes (Freedom and Independence?) I appreciate that Constellation is somewhat replacing Freedom class ships, but I am given to understand that several are still on order and being built, I think it would be a nice addition and would be a good counter to say the Stereguischy corvettes for example without being overkill of bringing a DDG...

[Otulf]

Good evening!

Can´t but agree with Rudel_chw...

I have atttached som photos of vehicles in the Swedish Airforce from the coldwar... 

 

@Currenthill! Thank you vary much for all the addons you have provided to DCS so far!

Tremendous work that you have done!!!

 

Best regards:

Otulf

Is it possible to add FPV drones to DCS? Even if configured as anti-taque missiles.

That's a real thing? How fast does the rotors spin?

There's a radar issue with a lot of the ships (in the packs that hasn't recently been updated) that affects the launching of antiship missiles. So I will be releasing fixpack updates (the small incremental ones) for them shortly, so that all ships and their weapons shall work as intended.
