Outstanding once again CH, I've been looking forward to seeing the Bear in Action! I wonder if this aircraft still has a tail gunner?

Thanks again,

Timex 3

[Geschirre]

Did you not watch the video? It does have a tail gunner.

Hi, just a simple question. Will you introduce the s-400 or the s-500(idk how solid info on that system exists) and if so, when would that be? (btw im sorry if my question was answered before, I just couldnt find the answer to it) 

 

Hi @ItsIsaac

FYI there is existing mods that would provide you the S-400 (not the S-500 for the moment...lack of information from russian sources...) and a variety of S-300 series ( S300MPU1 / S300MPU2 / S300VM / S300V4), an updated version of the BUK (SA17), updated version of SA2-HQ2, Manpads (SA-24), Pantsir-SM, Polyana, Gazetchik....in two different mods:

- HDS mod v2.0.1 and  the S300 pack (v0.2) from @LetMePickThat and @Auranis

There were compatibility problem between the two mods, but i can provide you a link to a merged version of the two mods that works.

I would like to ask, is there any way to solve the problem of transporting tanks and vehicles on mobile ships (not static modules).

Don't think it was ever a feature to begin with, and doubtful it's something ED would consider, it's not like they can be unloaded by the same vessel, unless you use triggers and spawns, which then defeats the point of vehicle carrying ships

It would be nice to see some Polish additions in the game as Polish armed forces are going through really big modernization lately including foregin bought or locally produced vehicles like:

KTO Rosomak M1

KTO Rosomak M1M


BWP Borsuk

Mała Narew and Narew SAM based on CAMM and CAMM-ER missiles 


Supported by Soła Radar based on Waran MRAP

Poprad Short-Range Anti air system based on Piorun MANPADS


Leopard 2PL , K2 and K2PL/EX




AHS Krab and K9 SPGs


K239 Chunmoo MLRS based on a Polish Jelcz truck

Yep, with all your continuous support and finding suitable models I would definitely like to make Polish assets.

Hi CH, I was wondering if you could create a much better CH-47D! 

I thought ED was working on a CH-47?

Turkish Korkut Ssa Spaag and Korkut Kka search radar vechile

 

There are a lot of interesting Turkish assets, indeed.

@currenthill Hello and many thank for your work, little question HIMARS  ATACM and GMLRS have around 4200 second (1hour) of reload time ? with your permission there is anything to do for reduce that time to 10 minute ?

It's configured with a reload time of about 5 minutes reload time (as in real life). I just tried it. Make sure you have the latest version of the asset. 

On 12/18/2023 at 6:05 PM, CarbonFox said:

I'm sure ED will update the SH-60 at some point. A detailed SH-3 Sea King model would be a great add.

I thought such mods already existed.

@currenthill This might not be super relevant anymore, but the MiG-29MU2 vers 1.2 (and maybe 1.3?) causes a CTD when trying to join an MP server on the latest 2.9 OB patch, possibly with something to do with this error message, as it preceded an access violation note every time: 
2023-12-19 16:38:31.750 ALERT APP (Main): Unhandled exception: Descriptor not found weapons.shells.AK630_30_AP

narrowed it down after spending the last 2-ish hours crashing DCS over and over

edit: i'll add its not unique to the MiG-29, other users on the ED discord reported same thing caused by different mod aircraft like the A-4, SU-30, and community Gripen

 

Make sure you always have the latest version of the asset, especially since lately almost every DCS update requires changes in the mods to keep DCS from crashing.

With the incoming avalanche of modules of Cold War birds, will we see any Cold War Currenthill asset??

Definitely, I've already made a couple of older assets like the Strv 103 and the M551.

On 12/20/2023 at 5:32 PM, Rudel_chw said:

Seems great to me, but I wonder if this will impact any prior missions that people may have edited with your Mods? … it imagine that it shouldn’t, as long as the individual assets keep their original designation.

All assets keep their unique IDs, so there shouldn't be an issue.

On 12/20/2023 at 8:04 PM, toan said:

Hi Currenthill, All your work is definitely amazing !  A potential problem I see with this approach is that sharing textures could mean missing textures for some assets, when you only need some Mods for your missions, and don't want to load all the countries' specific Mods. Thanks 

Well, that's the point, the new setup isn't meant to keep assets individual. The lowest level of granularity I will support and update will be the country pack. 

On 12/20/2023 at 8:10 PM, Rudel_chw said:

 

I guess you will have to load all assets of the country pack, you wont be able to load them piecemeal like it currently is. In the end, this texture sharing will save you disk space (when compared to loading all assets separately).

Exactly! While I can't stop anyone from ripping apart a country pack into single assets, it's not something I will support. 

On 12/20/2023 at 10:51 PM, Joey_Destroyah said:

The only con about the new model of downloads is that updates will likely be far less frequent; you have to update EVERYTHING in one pack to justify a new patch, really.

Yep, that might seem like a con, but it's actually a pro for me. Updating 100+ individual assets, with everything surrounding a change and release makes it an administrative nightmare. Remember that I'm a one-man-team, so every bit of time I spend on admin could have gone into developing instead.

On 12/21/2023 at 7:43 AM, toan said:

Yes, of course, I get that, but imagine a mission where you only need 3 Mods on the Red side vs. 4 Mods on the Blue side... I have several of this kind of missions. You'll nevertheless have to enable all the Red and Blue sides Mods. That's approx. 15 + 10 Mods.... in order to avoid a few specific Mod's texture problems...  The resource optimization is not standard here...  Well, my 2 cents...  CH Mods are amazing, anyway ! 

You should consider the country packs as the lowest level of granularity, which makes optimization a very logical choice at that level. Why have the same textures or configurations several times in the same package? Just enable the complete pack and you're good to go.

你能不能保留现有的单一资产更新模式，在这个基地中加入中国/俄罗斯/美国等，让非常喜欢你其中一种资产的玩家不需要下载所有的资源包，如果他们喜欢的模型还没有更新，也不需要下载最新的完整资产包？很多用户不会改变C盘的默认存储位置，他们的C盘空间还是有限的，整体安装包下载可能有点太大了，不管你选择什么，我都会支持你的决定，因为你为DCS创作了太多的新内容，让游戏变得更有趣味， 很多时候我打开DCS只是为了玩你的资产，非常感谢你对DCS社区的贡献。如果你能接受我的建议，那将是我的荣幸。你能提供另一个捐款渠道吗？我的母语不是英语，所以可能不够清楚，但我不能使用目前的捐款渠道向你的项目捐款。

Sorry, but I have to change from supporting individual assets to complete asset packs, otherwise I won't be able to continue the work. This approach will demand more downloads and storage space, but consider what you pay for my assets.

FYI Appears to be some new bugs with I belive both the Su-24 and MIG-29. they are causing a CTD when I try to spawn in an A-10C II. Seems to be a descriptor error with the AGR_20_M151 rockets 

 

I just tested a mission with the Su-24MU and MiG-29MU2 while flying the A-10C II. No issues for me.

We'll see, I might look into it.

Current status is that most of the cruise missile issues have been fixed. With the latest DCS update both the cruise missile and antiship missile issues are solved. But I had to make some changes to some of my weapons to get everything working again, these will be reflected in my country pack releases.

Unfortunately the latest DCS update introduced a new issue with the JDAM-ER (and other weapons using the JSOW missile scheme).

Yep, it might have been hybrids during development of the modernized version. But I will keep it, this way my asset can be used in different scenarios as Tu-95MS/MS6/MS16/MSM.

I love seeing ED staff here, I also love the troubleshooting, the dialogue and all the positive changes that comes from this thread!
