While I don't have any information on CH's long-term plans after the maintenance updates, such as whether he'll work on a new country or expand an existing pack, I agree with you on seeing further development of the Turkish military asset pack.  The Turkish Armed Forces operate a lot of interesting equipment, and there's a good number of 3D models out there of said equipment.  Then again, these 3D models aren't cheap - I'd be surprised if you can find anything that fits the bill (split components and subgroups, high-poly, animated, rigged, and game-ready) for 100 dollars or below.

Thanks HMB for your response. I am stunned by these prices, but I will donate some again today, what I can. It won't be enough, since I don't have a large budget myself. But I think every little bit of donation will help CH in the quest to expand. I guess those model prices are going thru the roof, now that they are being used so much for DCS and other games.

Hi friends, I just want to put out a common request to all modders out there.

As you all know, a lot of mods are having their own weapons and bomb table. Most of the mods are replacing the standard missiles or bombs.

The DCS base weapons loadout are all US-type or RUS-type and are applied to all aircraft (AIM-120C <> AIM-120D / AIM-9 <>PYTHONS, etc.), no matter what country they are from. 

But what about the countries with their own type of missiles, for example the MICA or the METEOR from France ?

You can't have one without the other, it seems.

Is there anyone out there who can create a LUA or table that will hold all missiles and NOT remove or replace the standard ones, so we can make our own choice in loadouts without losing the standard ones ?

What an excellent idea!

hah

 

uhm anyways, this will be added to core DCS as part of the Eurofighter. will be a while though and unfortunately our tools dont allow us to properly model it anyways resulting in it either being massively over- or underperforming

[blackaces82]

ive installed all the packs with ovgme and they will show up on the menu but are invisible when trying to place them on the map. any suggestions on how to fix that?

Your 'hah' is uncalled for and you are totally missing the point here.

Simply was referring to a mod many use from the Questa brothes, the Rafale, where they have the meteor installed...... as an example !

But since they could not find a solution for this problem, i just wanted to drop the question to CH, since he managed to solve a lot of issues with missiles for most of our current used mods. He is the most experienced modder I know on here. Maybe he knows how to create a weapons Lua or bomb table, where we can keep or combine foreign type of missiles.

Hope you understand it more clearly. It is a fair question to ask him, i think.

Thanks.

Thanks for your mods, they're awesome. But I have a problem, I put DF21 or Iskander on the map, and set [fire at point], but the missile still not launch. I don't know the reason.

Check the distance ring. Each missile can also hit and individual target or area if you click and edit and choose 1 target for each fire  at point.

Either not installed correctly from file path perspective, or they are conflicting with other mods (most probably). Disable all other mods and retry!

Hey, I noticed something weird about the Russian navy. Their anti-aircraft missiles, instead of hitting their targets, are basically just killing fish. Like, they're just plopping into the water. I get it, the Russian navy is as broken as the stuff you guys put in your game, but I was hoping we could use the navy for something more useful, like, you know, actual defense.

Have you installed the patch to have 1.1.2 version as well?

I ran into this problem with some of my old missions:

These missions still use the old Currenthill mods before they were combined into asset packs. Unfortunately, I no longer have those old mods, so I can't load those missions to update the Currenthill units. I'm a bit confused, because I remember some time ago there was a way to load missions even if the unofficial mods/units used in them are no longer installed. But I'm not sure if it was an official feature or a mod/script.

Status update

As you can see above I've now released fix updates for all asset packs that was affected by the change in sensor and missile configurations due to DCS updates. I've also fixed issues that I've collected by reports from you guys. And while I was at it I also added the new DCS feature of case ejection for relevant assets. 

The next asset pack to be updated is my first and oldest one, the Swedish asset pack. It needs to be updated to the current standard, which will include some 3D models, textures and configurations.

I also want to thank you for all your support, whether it being test efforts, livery creation, 3d meshes or donations! Thank you!

Thanks @currenthill for this upgrade packs. For Swedish army we are missing Patria vehichles( useful for many countries), and maybe Pansarbandvagn 302 ( going to be used in Ukraine), possibly Stockholm class corvete.

Aggiornamento dello stato

Come puoi vedere sopra, ora ho rilasciato aggiornamenti di correzione per tutti i pacchetti di risorse che sono stati interessati dal cambiamento nelle configurazioni di sensori e missili a causa degli aggiornamenti DCS. Ho anche risolto i problemi che ho raccolto dalle segnalazioni di voi ragazzi. E già che c'ero ho anche aggiunto la nuova funzionalità DCS di espulsione dei casi per le risorse rilevanti. 

Il prossimo pacchetto di risorse da aggiornare è il mio primo e più vecchio, il pacchetto di risorse svedese. Deve essere aggiornato allo standard attuale, che includerà alcuni modelli 3D, texture e configurazioni.

Voglio anche ringraziarvi per tutto il vostro supporto, sia che si tratti di test, creazione di livree, mesh 3D o donazioni! Grazie!

Hi Currenthill, I haven't updated the game to the latest version. Will I have problems with the changes you made to the packs?
