on on how to add the esteemed Сurrr

@currenthill First of all want to thank you for your hard work you're doing for DCS community !

I would also want to leave in here my suggestion while you are still considering what to do next :). As we have a lot of pew-pew units now... and I mean A LOT  .... would you want to dive a bit into support assets ? What I am thinking as of now is as follows:

- a "downed pilot" for both Blue and Red to be used for CSAR missions. While there is such a mod in the wild, that one is affecting the IC for no good reason, so a cleaner integrated solution within your mods would be much better.

- an infantry JTAC unit. Again, there is a good one in the wild, but is part of a bigger mod-pack so would be better to have one within your mods just for deconfliction with the installed mods. That JTAC seems to use some drones sensors and is having a good detection capabilities (which is a must have). Let me know if interested to provide more details about.

- field repair units like Bergenpanzers - nothing fancy, more for immersion

- red infantry - i know you've said that ED is having them in the works... but I still think  would be a good addition. Just couple of them for immersion.

Today is really a bad day. I can't access the game interface. Can you enter the game normally

How is this related to CH mods? Or is just your spamming guilty pleasure?

[Zahnatom]

I think the S-350 is overperforming

Did some tests: Skill Level High

JASSM

S-350(With the search radar) shoots at 35NM

S-350(Without the search radar) shoots at 23NM

(range difference is because it launches missiles without the 50N6 STR and just with the 96L6 SR)

HQ-22 shoots at 25NM

SA-20B shoots at 22NM

 

KH-101 (has a larger RCS) 

Patriot shoots at 16NM

NASAMS shoots at 12NM

How do I get the DF-21 to fire. I cant get it to work. (AKA what radar do I use or actually make it shoot)

I understand your question since DCS limitations requires me to be innovative.

The DF-21D can be used in two ways.

1) With AWACS support. The DF-21D will launch at will if the target is within AWACS range. 

2) With (imaginary) satellite support. The DF-21D will only launch if you give it a fire at group/unit order, but you can use it at its maximum range. This is my emulation of using satellites for targeting.

looking for mod culprit

That's an impressive amount of new models and fixed or added things. Your work makes the DCS environment so much more rich and divers! 

I assume for now other packs will come first, but if you come back to the China asset pack someday, I would love to see chinese coast guard units and maybe some maritime militia ships if possible. 

 

Oh,and regarding to packs: How about something like "insurgents asset pack"? 

 

What assets would you give insurgent forces, some old Pakastani motorbikes, farmers tools, if you are lucky a stolen ANP Forde Ranger? 

[ruddy122]

Trying Caucuses Map

Only CH Mods Installed

No missile depicted in PG map or Sinai Map in F10

Both Max Range and A-50

Caucus works but PG and Sinai No

-Improvised rocket launchers/mortars in the soil.

-Anti ship missiles (ask the houthis or hezbollah)
-civil drones with payloads

-IED's

-AK's of all kinds, G3's, 

-tanks

-trucks

-AA

 

Insurgents CAN be guys in pyjamas. But they can also be damn well equipped.

This is absolutely wonderful to see on Chinese New Year! You sir is the DaVinci and Michelangelo of DCS! This is simply amazing to behold. To tell you the truth, ever since your mod has landed on DCS, I spent majority of the time playing out battle scenarios between AIs. I am not even flying anymore hahaha! I love to see your work in action in DCS. The details you put into these weapon system is so amazing that I think every third party company should be fighting for your talent! I wish you the best and most auspicious new year full of success! Wish you the best in the year of the dragon! 

Lol I'm like you, I wonder if I can still get a MIG 21BIS to start up! greetings to all the virtual pilots!

If they are equipped to that level then they have ceased to be 'insurgents'. Asymmetrical warfare is conducted by small lightly armed groups using guerilla tactics against a larger more technically equipped professional Army.

Its common for civilians to confuse Anti Terrorism, Counter Insurgency and Conventional Warfare. As an example we are currently seeing all three during the Ukraine/Russian conflict but they are all very different in concept and execution for both sides.

When using the HIMARs and M270 to Fire at Point, I noticed the rockets landing at only a specific spot and not saturated over the 800 ft radius I set. Not sure how to get the rocket to do a saturation attack on a group of targets.

@currenthill would love to see J-16 and J-20 in your Chinese pack someday

[ruddy122]

I figured out the DF-21

I run OB 2.9.2.44099 the latest one 

In DCS some ships  show up like ARA Santa Fe others don't like DCS Tico

I use Santa Fe I could see missile

[exhausted]

I cannot get the Shahed to fire by using attack group, attack unit or fire at point. Does anyone know how to get them to work?

[Igrok_kun]

I have the latest DCS Open Beta and just downloaded the mods packs today. Tried to start with USA and Ukrainian installed. DCS doesn't go further NVidia splashcreen, both in MT and ST. Any ideas?

hard to say without any more data, but most likely you are experiencing a user mod conflict … disable other moda that you may have and test with just the ones from CH enabled.

check unit is pointing into the right direction, shahed comes from the back

i did remove all single mods and previous packs... did check the entry.lua for all that remained.

placed only the china assets and it crashed (report and all)

deleted the whole tech folder and copied back the single units mods... works ok.

sorry to say, ill have to keep outdated... luckly I think I have most of your great mods

If you want to get it fixed. Remove all the single assets, install the country packs, let DCS crash and send me the DCS.log and I'll tell you what you didn't clean up.
