Hi, why do you think so?

data.
Thank you for your wisdom. It's actually just a confirmation that a Swiss hasn't created a single model himself.

You need a better translator.
Swiss ≠ Swedish
What does your ranting even mean?

I think I have an explanation.  CH is the initials for Confoederatio Helvetica, which is another name for the country of Switzerland.   CH is also the initials for Currenthill, hence the mixup here.

He probably meant Swiss as "Knife" and not the country of origin, there are reasons for that, I think some people know

I am not interested in your subsequent explanations, as my post was only referring to abburo's initiative. ED made a clear statement about the acquisition of Massun92's assets. To make it clear again, your assets will never be included in the core of ED. By the way, I also do not agree with modders tinkering with the weapon data. You are, among others, to blame for the fact that the luas are no longer available for all ED data.

Apart from needlessly annoying the people who contribute to our shared passion, are you planning to take a vacation soon ?

Hi , guys , I think that CH had get these mods by legal ,so we shouldn't focus on whether these mods are  created by CH himself ,CH use these mods to create so much more assets ,that let us happy and make the ED full of lively ,of course ,ED has power to take any method to protect it's commercial profit ,so we shouldn't complain these trouble because of its update,my choice is unupdate.

You could be right too. I see your point.
Let's move on to cheese.

I have a feeling this is the way he prefers to spend one...

Thanks guys! 

I agree, let’s get back on track and on topic.
 

Progress is good with the German pack and I will share some more pictures soon.

I just can't believe what I'm reading! The DCS World Community is very grateful to have CH! DCS World was getting old until CH showed up! CH has created hundreds of high-quality Mods and I couldn't be more grateful. Like I've said many times on this feed, CH has brought so much life into DCS World. I don't know any Modder who comes close to CH. We should be very grateful for what CH has done for this Community. I know that I'm VERY GREATFUL to have CH, I really enjoy using his Mods!  

Thank you CH, I sure appreciate everything you have done!

With Respect,

Timex 3

Thank you, CurrentHill, for everything.

[AvgeekJoe]

Indeed, thank you Currenthill.  Especially with DCS upgrades messing so much up for modders filling in the gaps of DCS World!

[tripod3]

currenthill aka Swiss has phenomenal productivity rate and it's hard to even imagine how well he understands the ED code, since he makes such realistic units from scratch. Special thanks for the implementation of ballistic missiles, it was an interesting and long-awaited experience. We all understand how hard it is to work when conditions are becoming more difficult, especially when many assets require maintenance, and hope that everything will be fine

[currenthill]

The F124 Sachsen Frigate is more or less done. 

[bbtbmb]

thank you, CH for alll!!! you do

[RichCotte]

Thanks for everything you do @currenthill  Your work is AMAZING and really boosts an already incredible simulation to another level entirely!  Please keep up the great work!

[KrazyPilot]

Thanks CH for your hard work! Especially, for your open manner and honesty on everything. You have done much to educate both modders and non-modders alike and that is the absolute Truth. But, you know what they say... Haters are gonna hate.. Thanks again bud!

I was really looking forward to the updated German pack ... but that's for me the icing on the cake ... thanks CH!! Really appreciate all your hard work!

[Timex3]

 

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the DCS Community for putting their support behind CH. It was amazing seeing all the posts thanking CH for all he has done for this Community. I would also ask the Community to throw a few bucks CH's way. Every penny donated goes towards new Assets. Thanks again to everyone who thanked CH for all his hard work!

It's not stupid talk. Outsourcing time consuming mesh work is a rather efficient way of reducing time to market as well as cost. You are correct in the fact that ED has taken upon themselves to create their meshes in-house, which naturally also applies to third parties or them integrating others work. It's their decision, but that doesn't mean it's a good decision. I understand that ED wants to have the native (editable) produced mesh with full rights to ensure the ability to maintain and develop it over time (think source code escrow).

The other part he mentions, about providing tools for 'official modders' isn't stupid talk either. It's been proven rather successful in other platforms. 

I know that you're well versed in DCS modding and therefore you're also well aware of the fact that implementing DCS assets takes a lot more than a mesh, so please refrain from calling me a master at duplicating. 

That said, let's get back to what this thread is about. 

Status update

• As you might have guessed, there are new issues with the latest DCS update which have to be fixed.
• I'm getting very close to releasing the updated German asset pack. So I'll do my best to juggle the two at once. 

ED doesn’t even do all of their own 3d models, they hire and/or buy from 3d studios as well.  Like you said, it’s an efficient and effective method to manage resources.  Check out this studio, a good number of ED’s assets came from here:  http://www.precise3dmodeling.com/  
ED even showcased the C-17 model some years back advertising it coming in an update that never materialized.  I surmise that there was a monetary disagreement. I think 3dReach has done a few DCS models as well.

AIM-174B for F/A-18C 1.1.0 released!
On popular demand I chose to release the AIM-174B (air launched version of the SM-6 Block Ia without the MK72 booster) for the F/A-18C. It's nothing fancy, it was made to be used with the player controlled Hornet, but will of course be limited by its radar performance. It will replace your AIM-120B and will break IC. 

Credits

Thanks to ED for the F/A-18C and its configuration files. 

Installation

• Unpack files in the main DCS program folder (not your DCS Saved Games folder) and overwrite.
• I recommend using OvGME as it allows for easy installation and uninstallation of the mod.

Distribution model

It's available for download on my site. And as usual, please don't redistribute it!

Disclaimer

This was just a quick side project and I won't spend time supporting it, feel free to play around with the missile configuration to tune its performance.
