Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[Irisz]

I have questions about this video: MiG-29MU2 with ADM-160B & JDAM-ER vs S-350 & Pantsir Youtube video

Does the MiG-29MU2 only change its armament? Ukraine has modernized these aircraft, stronger radar better more modern R-27ER active homing head and R-27ET modernized homing head up to 100 km range.

Will these also appear in DCS World? Will it be AI or will it be flyable by the player in Flaming Cliff, just as the J-11A modernized by China also appeared in Flaming Cliffs and can be flown by the player?

Is there any hope that the Su-27PM1  AI will appear, maybe in Flaming Cliffs with the option to be flown by the player on these aircraft types?

These steps would solve a huge problem for REDfor fans because we really need such player-flyable planes!

 

Edit:

Meanwhile I found info, you are doing a wonderful job, you are a wizard!

I hope it will be flyable in the Flaming Cliffs series!

I used to think that the animation was hard coded, but it seems that here it somehow knows which side the return is coming from.

its sort of hard coded

basically you provide the animations for the model which includes the suspension and you add a connector to the muzzle of the gun. then i think dcs just calculates it automatically 

if you look at ch's models in the modelviewer you'll see the suspension stuff is always on arg 20(pitch), 21(up/down) and 22(yaw)

there's also certain other fixed animation args like alarm state for example is always arg 3

Do you have any plans to create any of the Chinese aircraft carriers?

What I really hope is LHA with much more parking that work on multiplayer.

For example, Tarawa with 9 parking... Actualy, there is only 4 places available...
If you want to make naval operation with an entiere squadron of 18 Helicopters...

You must put... 5 Tarawa instead of 2!!!!

Ideally, it would cost just one with the possibility of parking for the helicopters, but we're not going to ask too much
(Are the supercarrier developers not interested in adding the possibility of helicopter parking for the LHA? that would double the number of volunteers to buy supercarrier!!!)

Going from 4 places to 9 would already be a game changer for the helicopter squadrons !

Have you tried Admiral189's LHA-6 USS America Mod? Not sure if it works for multi player.

But if it does I have multiple deck layout I use with ai asset. I can't recall if my helicopter layout had 16 or 20 spawn points but it was a lot. 

I could add more spots to Tarawa but that would break IC and not work for MP right?

PM If you'd like expanded runway lua for the Admiral's LHA-6

Is it possible to download only one Mod not an entire country ?

WHY DID YOU CHANGE TO COUNTRY PACKS?
I have created and released more than 100+ assets and I need to maintain and support them, both in terms of new features, but also because of DCS updates that will break them.
Maintaining that many single assets is an administrative nightmare, which is why I had to pack them together into country packs. 

Some of you prefer the old distribution method with single assets, but if I wouldn't have switched over to the country packs I would have been able to keep doing this at all. 
The biggest drawback with this new distribution method is the size of downloads needed when I update, because you would have to download the complete pack again no matter how small the actual changes are.

Hello currenthill, can you add the Ukrainian kamikaze drones Lutiy and UJ-26 Beaver?

[Zahnatom]

seems like something was changed in DCS...

neither THAAD, Aster 30 Blk 2 nor SM-3 can intercept a SCUD on the first attempt... SM-3 even took 3 attempts

seem to max out on Gs but not turning, at all

Strange, I just ran a test mission with SCUDs vs THAAD and Arleigh Burke Flight III SM-3. They worked just fine. Any particular mission setup you're using?

@currenthill Hello, do you think adding this sam to the Germany pack ?

Status update

Military Asset Pack Germany
I'm around 75% done with the Germany pack updates. There will be a total of around 15+ new assets in the upcoming release.

Missile issues with DCS 2.9.5.55300
I also noticed issues with some of my missiles with the latest DCS update. ED has changed some core parameters which mean I have to create fix updates for all packs containing modern missiles. I will make these updates incremental as they only need to update some of the code.

It looks like it's the missile thrust vectoring that's completely changed. 

The fixes will unfortunately take a lot of time and I will have to release fix updates for the following country packs:

• China
• Russia
• Sweden
• UK
• USA

This will put the Germany asset pack update on hold for now.

I was playing around with the Skynex on HX truck and recorded some. 

 

Just out of curiosity, is this the same Gun/Weapons Sytem developed for the MANTIS SHORAD system?? It looks awfully similar just Truck Mounted!

MANTIS is the german military name for the Rheinmetall (Oerlikan) Skyshield concept (used for defending air bases, now transferred to Slovakia). Using the 35 mm revolver gun primarily with AHEAD, air burst ammunition in the VSHORAD/C-RAM role. It's available in combined systems (gun and AESA/EOS) and separate radar systems with several gun systems linked together. The Skyshield is the successor to the Skyguard from the 50-60s. 

The mobile version is called Skyranger and is available in 30 and 35 mm versions. I have added the 30 mm version with the integrated Stinger launcher to one of my Boxer assets.

testing.miz

this is the mission i have. SM-3 launches very early and is on a good course but then maxes out its g limit and doesnt hit it

they just go above the missile, try to go down again but hit the g  limit and miss

 

double checked the code, my installation is the same as the one on google

dcs version is multi thread 2.9.5.55300 in case thats important

Will we see more Cold Was assets at some point? both Warsaw pact and NATO ones are desperately needed.

[f18usa]

Hi, 

Just a quick question...Which of the two USA mod packs do i install? Becuase I wanted to get the THAAD i downloaded a new pack and deleted the old one.I then relized that there was a second one and downloaded that one to. Now none of your mods show up for me and the ones that i already had in a mission dissapeard.

Thanks

There is just one USA pack, currently at version 1.1.3  ... perhaps you are confusing it with the incremental update 1.1.0-1.1.3 ?  That one is for people that already has installed the prior version (1.1.0) and dont want to re-download the whole pack.

Hi CH, something for the next update of the swedish assets pack:

Yep, the unfortunate solution.

[currenthill]

Status update

I've identified the issues and which assets and weapons that are affected. I'm now working on fixes for them. First up is the Chinese fixpack, which now is out for testing before release. 

• China (Testing)
• Russia
• Sweden
• UK
• USA (WIP)

Yea, the Ammunition being fired also had me wondering this as well because of the air bursts it reminded me of the AHEAD ammo. I appreciate the insight! It just really reminded me of that weapon system..

Is IRIS-T SLM planned? After the fixes? Maybe also a German Roland?

I’m still on the lookout for a model of the TRML-4D radar system.
