Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[KomandorAdam]

Congratulations CH hard work has been noticed. If you get an application handle from ED you could make a new interface for ships because the one from CA doesn't work well for ships.

Ahaha. We beat it in the end. Finally, normal missiles

Currenthill is a rich man now!!!
Don't forget the poor who still have free mods hahahaha

[Hare Ball]

Congratulations on this development, Currenthill - well deserved.

Another question for your FAQ, when you update it next - I’m sure many of us use updated HARM/RWR files (I combine yours and Nightstorms to support a variety of mods) - will your files be updated to remain compatible with any updated core script files for these codes?

Well done again and thanks for all the work you’ve done and are doing for this community

Congratulations on your collaboration with ED, it's great to have you on the forum.

Congrats @currenthill on this new assignment and set-up. Seems to be best as so many have found what I have found - that you really can't tell realistic stories outside of training ranges without your stuff at this point.

Do appreciate these developments in the FAQ a lot also:

Q12: Will I continue to support the Currenthill mod packs?
A12: Yes. I will implement a best-effort approach to keeping the Currenthill mod packs working with DCS updates.

Q13: Will I remove the duplicate assets from the Currenthill mod packs?
A13: Yes. I will most likely remove duplicate assets to avoid any kind of unnecessary confusion.

 

Good to know we'll be able to keep your anti-ship missiles working alongside the new & improved stuff! Much appreciated!

Thank you @currenthill for such amazing work! If I may make a request, do you think you can make some country specific air and sea assets, like the KC-747 or KC-707 for Iran? Or perhaps the Embraer R-99 AEW&C for Awacs?

 

KC-747 and 707

@currenthill Great to hear about the news! I have a question: now that the Iskander has joined the core mod of DCS, does this also mean that other mods with ballistic trajectories will work normally again? Because I'm still stuck with 2.9.4 "

Thanks! As I mentioned in the FAQ, I intend to keep the existing mods working (within a reason of course). And this includes the RWR/HARM files.

Unfortunately not. The new core game Iskander will feature the first ballistic trajectory missile since the Scud. So let's call it the first core game accurate ballistic missile.

It isn't based on the old way we created ballistic missile mods in DCS where the missile would go straight up and then point straight to the target without a ballistic arc.

Does this mean that it will now be possible to use the Iskander core to create other precision ballistic missiles? (For modders)

I can't get the Buk M3 9A317M, 9A317MA and 9S18M1-3 to show up on the RWR nor the HAS display. Is anyone else experience this too?

Same here. Only thing that shows up is the 9S36M TR.

[James454]

@currenthill, why don't you add the Brazil package with the Guarani, the Centauro 2, the Tamandaré frigate and the Astros rocket artillery and, as a reference, the EE-T1 Osório tank and the Tamoyo medium tank?
If you can't, that's fine

Q15: When will the first batch of core assets release?
A15: Soon^TM.

As I remember, CH's "soon" is 1-7 days. But in this case I guess it takes longer

@currenthillIf you make the pack I can help with the issue about some vehicles

 

[Rudel_chw]

Regarding:

Q17: Will the new core assets have the CH prefix in the mission editor?
A17: No. For consistency and ease-of-use the new core assets will be integrated with other DCS core assets.

 

I wish ED reversed this decision, as I find it useful to easily identify the asset's origin, in the same way as was done with Massun's Assets, plus it is kind of a recognition for his efforts to add AI units to DCS.

You'll just have to play around with it.

Strange, I checked the 1.5.0 package and all the Buk M3 units are present.

Well, let's just say I'll be quite busy for a while.

Well, I quite like to have the assets automatically sorted by type. For example, all the MBTs in one place, regardless of who made it. But there will most likely be a suffix for the credit. I think the prefix is more important to identify mods. These assets will be part of the DCS core.

Is there a chance for more (and all) infantry and ground crew for DCS as official addon too? We have quite a few maps, and in terms of people it's quite weak in DCS. I know it requires a lot of work, even more than with vehicle models.

If ED get the new "infantry technology" open ot all, surely, but I dont think ED will put into DCS a old infantry.

Even so, it’s still great to know that Iskander and ATACMS will be added to the core game but will the mod of PRSM still remain or being remove from your mod too ?.

I’ve now uninstalled all mod from DCS 2.9.4 and waiting for the new version of both your mod and core game to release , since I’ve been stuck with the old version for too long. Now I have to uninstall and prepare to reinstall each mod one by one to avoid any issues or conflict.

Project 22160 Patrol Ship with SA-15 (Tor-M2) / Project 22160 Patrol Ship 

Project 22160 FFL

Remarks:
Vasily Bykov, Dmitry Rogachyov, Pavel Derzhavin, Sergey Kotov, Viktor Velikiy, Nikolay Sipyagin. All six for Black Sea Fleet. Fitted with stabilizers. Designed to patrol EEZ. The ship is capable of housing the Shtil-1 SAM system with two eight-cell VLS forward. The Kalibr system is stored in two standard transport containers aft of the helo pad. The missile canisters must be elevated before launching.

 

This version was presented only as a model at the exhibition. In reality, all ships cannot carry the Shtil-1  SAMs, and are not equipped with the radar complex necessary for their use.

The Kalibr system and X-35 anti-ship missiles in  standard transport containers are also not installed on 22160.

So how do i habdle this now, that ED will integrate in Core DCS?

I mean i have the downloads in saved games directory...can i delete them? Not necessary to have them twice?

[Mast3rShifu]

Hi, i've had this issue for a while now with the DF-21 Missile where it won't launch, i have assigned it to 'Fire at Point' but it for some reason doesn't work..

It a anti-ship missile, so you need to select "attack unit" or "attack group" not "fire at point" to make it work

[colin5392]

Could you include a new model for a Ukrainian SU-24 please?
