Cool!

Wow. It can drop bomb from 12000 m. Old B-2 from other mod can't do due to script limitations of bomb or sensor code lol

Sir

Did some digging

Had a MOD conflict that prevented ballistic profiles in DCS

Suspects SU-57 Mod Build 4, SU-35 Mod, Naval Fulcrum 1.5

Turned Mods off in OVGME and problem solved

FYI with people with similar problems

Thanks

Hi Currenthill, I love the B-21 Raider. I have to ask, what's the next project? Thanks again for all your amazing work!

@currenthillOn Sweedish mod the patriot launchers will not move after they were firing. I've put them on green state, they retract all stabilizations, etc... but they remain in place, even if the STR and EPP are moving forward. Any idea?

So really cool mod but I'm curious as to how everyone is thinking to use this mod? I guess I could see if you're playing redforce and trying for an intercept but B-2's usally takeoff from quite a ways away from the AO and don't use escorts (that I know of) would defeat the purpose of stealth to have 2 f16s escorting it right? Anyway would love to hear ideas on what kind of scenarios in DCS will be good with this mod

@currenthill I notice you have the MAN trucks as part of the SAM on the Swedish pack. Would it be easy enough to convert these to do logistics type trucks or similar as used by several nations. 
 

UK MAN SV for reference

Thank you, glad you like it! I honestly don't know what the next release will be. I made the B-21 in a couple of days based of a suggestion and 3d model donation since it piqued my interest. I always have 2-4 asset in the works at a given moment. So you'll gonna have to wait and see.

Strange, I'll take a look when I get the chance.

Haha, that's a great point. I consider it a cool accessory or novelty since it's pretty hard to detect and defeat. It might be used as a background asset carrying out tasks while you run your primary mission.

I'll look into it. I primarily create armed assets though. But we'll see.

 Usually use CH's units for "what if" sandbox missions to simulate various conflicts. B-21 is a great deep strike thing as PrSM, the stock USA has lack of such weapons (only cruise missiles). So you can set it as background unit which strikes command center, warhead storage or facility deep behind enemy AD systems. You can set trigger that disables AD network after B-21 destroys main HQ, for example

Hey CH, I'm loving all the new additions. There are a few things I wanted to bring up and see if anybody else is experiencing them.

1) Guided bombs, including JDAMs and laser GBUs, are overshooting their targets. They try to "reverse," but the forward momentum makes it impossible. I have tried this from various altitudes and speeds, as well as changing the weapon employment range.

2) Unused bombs seem to be ejected out the back once a bombing run is finished. In this case, I had the B-21 drop 4 out of 8 JDAMs, and the remaining ones on the racks seemed to fall off the jet once it closed the bomb bay doors and started its turn. I have attached a screenshot below.

3) Lastly, should the bomb bay doors remain open the whole time the B-21 is lasing the target?

I haven't experienced those things in test. Could you send me a test mission to try?

Edit: I added a simple test mission with a lot of pinpoint GBU-38 hits, which works just fine for me.

Sure thing, mission attached. 

Note, I'm using 2000lbs JDAMs and not the 500lbs and this is not the same mission I am having issue with, I am running a few mods so I recreated the targets. The new behavior in this one is that they are all missing right about 25 meters or so. The mission you attached worked as expected.

Firstly, when using your mission I get the same poor result using the B-1. I've noticed there is something going on with the "Attack map object" command. That is why I switched to the "Bombing" command instead. I changed your test mission to use it instead, works perfectly. I also tried using CAS where the B-21 chose its targets by itself, works fine. 

So I would say this issue is within DCS. But the solution is using the "Bombing" command in ME instead, works exactly the same.

Hey, below are screenshots showing a B-21 flying at 35.000 ft, targeting a naval group located at 160 nm, and firing several LRASM. Hit after 15 minutes of sea skimming by the missiles. The command used in the ME is "Attack group" without any other data. Great Mod ! Thanks Currenthill !

[lpw7000]

Any chance that the B21 will get the ADM 160 MALD?

Haha, my old nemesis, the missing textures, struck again. Here's an updated version with the missing textures added.

Awesome mod! Any chance of a Type 31 now to complete the set?

Nice! I enjoy seeing my assets in action!

How realistic would that be? I don't believe the B-1B or the B-2 are carrying them?

Sounds like they're going to be getting 32x Mk41 VLS cells now. That's a lot of sea ceptors!

Haha, yep! Let's hope they speed up the development of the FC/ASW. Would be cool to implement. 

And speaking of Sea Ceptors, I'm also waiting for pics of the Type 45 with them added.

I get an error message when I try to launch my game with your mods installed and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Now I want a Arleigh Burke with with 384 ESSM. It would also be cool see the concept of dual packed SM-2's (possible with some modification but never done) and the Patriot PAC 3 doubled packed into the Mark 41.

Really good stuff just wish the HIMARS and M270 worked with the call for artillery script but it doesnt recognize them

Hi,

Everytime than I am looking on your production I am really impressed!!
For sure your mods are a real game changer for DCS and ED would do well to learn from it! As long as you have the right person, you can see that anything is possible...
You have produced more IA assets in a few months than ED in 10 years!
So....my question (and sorry if this subject was already mentionned) but did you had any contact with ED to implement all this in DCS instead of just having your work via mods?

In any case, a big congratulations and thanks again for the time and work spent to make these assets which are all really interesting!
When I see how slowly ED works on new assets, it's really sad (SA-22 announced 02 years ago but we still haven't seen anything, C-RAM system...nothing for months and so on...)
I will continue to follow your productions with great interest!
Thx again for your great work!!
