Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[tripod3]

I think the useful addition is land-strike capable Kh-22 missile for Tu-22m3. This missile is hardcoded and antiship only ingame

Anybody have any leads for what causes ground units to not show up now? Currenthill aircraft are working and that is it. I have most of the popular mods, SamAssets, Massun, VPC, VSN, Admiral89, Hawkeye WW2. Every update another mod bites the dust. Interested to see where this modding community will be in two years time. 

@currenthill I think the latest openbeta patch made the Mission Editor units inaccessible, they are not showing up at all in the drop down menu. Only the encyclopedia page are working. Can you advise or check if it still working?

Thank you, turns out my historical filter was turned on. Hence why the current hill units weren’t showing up in the ME.

Yeah, my issue is a bit different. Currenthill assets are showing in the drop down menu, and are not causing crashes. However, once I place them and start the game up. They do not appear. I took all my other mods out of the aircraft and tech folders, tried again, and they now show up in game. I will have to test mods two or three at a time until I find the culprit(s). I will post here once found so other people can know of the conflict. Hopefully its nothing commonly used. Crash logs won't help me here, because the game is not crashing, right?

The dcs.log will give you answers even if the game doesn't crash.

I am amazed by the restraint and courtesy of currenthill . A person creates a product, finds the time and strength to chew elementary things to all sorts of suckers. Who are too lazy to read the chat above.

When and if there will be any evidence of it. I mean, it's hard to find any hard evidence of Kh-47M2 on Tu-22M3 yet. 

Well, if wikipedia is considered a valid source, there's evidence there.

A source that was attached to the wikipedia article says, translated from russian, "Bomber Tu-22M3 will be able to carry four hypersonic missiles "Byzhal"

Absolutely agreed. And some else improvements will be relevant too:

1. Kh-32 improved variant (both ASh and AtG modes)

Spoiler

2. Extended bomb and missiles payloads

Spoiler

3. More realistic Kh-22 flight performance. As it seems to be, it uses only one flight mode for by now.

Spoiler

P.S. if @currenthill can make an upgraded Ukrainian AGM-88 capable Su-27, it will perfectly complement an MiG-29MU2 asset

So I went through all my other mods...

First I finally took the time to separate them by era. WW2, Korea-Vietnam, and Modern. Considering Currenthill has not made WW2 and Vietnam mods yet, I figured no reason to run them together. 

Then onto the testing of modern aircraft mods. I found that the Jas39 and the Su30 pack are the culprits. It does seem to be a weapons conflict. So just a heads up for anyone that uses those. Maybe there will be a compatibility fix in the future! I will post on the Jas39 and Su30 pages as well so those authors know.

It regards to the Gripen, it's well known. Here is the tempfix: https://discord.com/channels/809729166790361088/852631912539226113/1188066155068391486

The attitude of the Tu-95MCM is too steep in straight flight. can that be changed.

Nice shot !  I didn't know that Crusader livery. Is it available somewhere ? Thanks Urbi !

Look at the Jas39 Comm mod page. The fix is posted towards the top of the last page. Just a couple file changes on weapons

Works fine for me, but you have to be logged in to your discord user.

I've added the Su-27P1M to the Ukraine pack. It features the slightly upgraded N001 radar and the confirmed western weaponry like the JDAM-ER, AGM-88 HARM and ADM-160B MALD. 

[CambridgeTiger]

That Swedish chopper HKP 15B would be sweet with an "AIRWULF" Livery

I did some testing, it looks like the weight has an impact. A max weight Tu-95MSM will give around 4 deg pitch and with a light weight it will be more straight. I also checked other prop aircraft and it's the same with them. So it's nothing unique with my asset. But I haven't looked deeper into it to see what we can configure yet.

[Zahnatom]

there appears to be a collision with the Gripen mod which makes the ships not spawn...

 Try increasing the speed

The TU-95 is way too quiet!  It is half the volume of the AN-26!  Do you know what sound files to modify?  I assumed it would be \Saved Games\DCS\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\Engines\Tu95FontEngine and TuBackEngine.....   But these seem to have no effect?  It is the same as the E-2D after the 2.9 update.
