question @currenthill : will this mod continue to update with new vehicles in the future?

As I said in the FAQ. I will primarily make sure the mods are still working. And I will most likely remove redundant assets, as they get introduced as new and updated versions in core DCS.

But since I really enjoy creating assets for DCS, I will probably add new stuff to the mods also.

Woah is that a J-35? But does that mean we might get a Fujian Carrier to go with it? And a J-15T? I am getting ahead of myself LOL!!

For a Russian Military Asset Pack, could you concentrate on all missing Russian aircraft/helos in the SU_, MIG-, Tupolev-, Mi-, and KA- families ??

Look like we'll soon have Aegis ship with PAC-3 MSE In real life.

In this case I'm surpised why the cache isn't wiped by default with every DCS core update.

The Updater did it for a while. Now it seems it doesn't anymore. Has been a request for ages.

USA assets not available in mission editor. Don't know whether historical mode affects CH assets, but it's not enabled.

Most likely, ED has not added them yet to the DCS core ... keep using the Mod for now.

@Rudel_chw, I'm using the mod, I've went into my mods folder and double checked everything and I still can't get any of the US assets to show up. USA is the only pack that is not working for me though.

I didn't know ED started working with CH, that's awesome.

oh, I assumed you were trying to use the upcoming CH-DCS assets ... I enabled the Mod on my PC and it works as usual, the units show up on the editor:

 

 

 

I have it installed on my Saved Games folder, like this:

 

 

Note that I'm using version 1 of the Mod, as I havent really used it on my missions as much as I do use the swedish and german assets.

@Rudel_chw well, thanks for testing on your install. I just got back to my pc, I'm redownloading the USA assets and I'll just delete and try a fresh install of it. I saw in the forum that a couple other ppl had the same issue with the USA pack. I couldn't find a problem with it, kinda weird.

Did you download the complete package or just the update?

I've used CH assets forever, so now I just update them. But, I'm gonna try complete reinstall now.

[rwbishUP]

Well, I deleted current USA pack and dropped in a new full pack. And, I still don't have them in mission editor. The only US assets I have is the, NASAMS system.

I figured it out. It was a conflict with a mod I didn't even know I had installed. The "Arrow 3" mod, I can't find the name of the user who it came from. But, it somehow got into my /mods/aircraft folder and I never noticed it. I'd say when I transferred things onto my new disk I somehow dropped it into the aircraft folder. Thank ya'll for helping me find the solutiong.

may I suggest investing some time on learning to use a Mod Manager? It would avoid this kind of issues, on my DCS I use OvGME for this duty.

I second this. I also use a mod manager even for Saved Games, except it's another one.

Same, I meant I don't use OvGME.

I remember you saying about the integration issues with stuff like ballistics and missile programming.
Will you be able to remedy that now that you're working with ED?

Assets I create in collaboration with ED will have more advanced weapons, as they are made in collaboration with ED. This means ED can create new weapon schemes and configuration that fits the specific weapons, like the ATACMS. 

Besides these, I will still maintain the current mod packs, and create new assets for them, like the J-35 in the picture above. Since these assets are created by me outside of the ED collaboration, they won't have the same kind of advanced or new weapon configurations.

Will new assets made by you eventually get added by ED as time goes on?

Q2: Will all the assets from the Currenthill mod packs be added to DCS?
A2: No. The library of new core assets are based off of the inventory of the Currenthill mod packs, but each asset are carefully chosen to be added to DCS. Each new core asset are implemented mostly from scratch to uphold a specific consistent standard of things like mesh and textures quality, animations, FLIR textures, LODs, destroyed models etc.
