Hey Currenthill,

I am having trouble with spawning in some of your assets in the mission editor, when loading the mission only some appear.

For reference I only have your assets in the tech mods folder and I am on the latest beta.

Thanks for your hard work!

Just took a look at my log, appears this is the issue:

2023-05-25 10:07:22.606 ERROR   woCar (Main): Failed to create car: Descriptor not found weapons.shells.Centurion_C_RAM_M940_MPT_SD
 

This is just one line but it appears for quite a few of the assets.

Hi @currenthill again

(first, THANKS for the Pantsir fix ! )

Reporting another thing that would be nice to fix :  rearming time of the Alligator. It takes 23 000 seconds to rearm it !   Im not a military guy, but almost 6 hours to get 4 magasins of 14,5mm to nearby ammo truck might be unaccurate

Too shy to ask: what do you mean by Alligator? Sorry I can't catch up...)

Black Hulls, with a very slight hint of red, look better - MUCH better.

I will do another set of the Type 26 and the Type 45's with black hulls and post them here in a day or two. - Done - see below.

The ship on the left is a red hull, the other 2 are a type 26 and a type 45 with black hulls. You decide !

Here is the updated link with black and red hulls for both the Type 26 and the type 45 - you can have any colour you like - as long as it's black, or red. You can mix and match, simply drop the folders into your liveries folders for each type.  All that is different is the hull colour, the rest of the ships are the same for each hull color.

Hey Crazyeddie, the download link is broken!

Hm... I can't help thinking there's an issue on your side, since I can't replicate this myself. Does anyone else have the same problem? Especially since you're experiencing the issue with more than one asset. Just to be sure I just tried the C-RAM once again, with no issues. Have you tried repairing your DCS? And maybe check your saved games folders for anything fishy?

Haha! Well, when you're far behind enemy lines, supplies may be scarce.

I'll add this in the next release.

I downloaded the C-RAM this morning to play around with and it works fine on mine end... doesn't engage some rockets (like the 300mm ones from the BM-21), but I'm guessing that's DCS being DCS.

 

Love the work put into these, just wish they were put together in packs instead of individually.  As someone who does missions for the group I fly with, it's a huge ask to download a bunch of individual files if I wanted to include a bunch of them in a mission, but overall, enjoying it!  Thanks for the hard work!

You are correct about the rockets. The weapons defined as type rockets doesn't have a RCS and thus aren't recognized by the game engine as engageable threats. Let's hope ED fixes this in the future. Most of the rockets in my assets (like the HIMARS) are defined as missiles and can therefore be engaged.

Currenthill, thanks a lot for your GIANT work!

I have a proposal too. I see you are more interested in combat assets, but may I ask you to add a non-combat tactical transport (or strategic like An-124 "Condor", if you wish) aircraft for the Russian side (I'm not asking for West because there is a Military Aicraft Mod for that and some other addons). DCS gives us only IL-76 and An-26 for transport purposes, but Russian military has much more quiet unique transport and military passenger aircraft, like An-72 "Coaler" for example (it has unique design with its engines and ultra short takeoff distance).

Here are some photos.

1) An-12 "Cub" of the Naval Aviation of Russia (now being retired, but some planes remain in service; very old and smoky plane). 

2) An-72 "Coaler" of the Naval Aviation of Russia (new dark grey Navy livery);

3) AN-72 "Coaler" of the Aerospace Forces (ASF) of Russia (standard ASF livery);

4) An-148 of the ASF of Russia (standard ASF livery; newest military passenger plane; joint Russian-Ukrainian design...)

5) Tu-134 "Crusty" of the ASF of Russia (standard ASF livery; one of the main military passenger planes along with An-148 and Tu-154; very loud during takeoff).

I hope this might be interesting for you too along with combat assets.

Hi again @currenthill

yesterday we did a full mission with your Pantsir, Stugna and the Alligator ( my POV here : https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1829146702 ) 

For the Alligator I can suggest :

- rearming time to be fix, you know that already

- adding a little " recoil " to feel more realistic

- also, I took the liberty to change the gun fire sound,  see in the attached video. If you like it, there is a 3 seconds version ( too match the 3s reload speed ) or a ~5 seconds version ( that feel more confortable ). Still not a military guy, but 14,5 mm might knock you a little bit, so firing every 3 seconds feels a bit too fast to me ( might be 300% wrong ! )

- maybe Im not doing it right, but cant figure how to add the camouflage neither on the Alligator nor the Stugna

 

Many thanks again for your work !!

Thanks for your suggestions!

Not sure what you have in the pipeline but every one of your assets is incredible.

 

Just going to put this guy right here though.

Thanks ...I think. I'm not a native english speaker, but I hope my assets aren't orally ingested on a regular basis.

I think you are in luck because I've found some pretty high-poly 3D models of the command truck and radar truck.  Ignore the description - the 3d developer probably made a mistake or some such.

https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/961782

However, it's a bit pricy, at US$ 84, which is about 80 Euro or 900 SEK.  

I bought this, it turned out it was actually the other way around. The description was correct and the presented picture was incorrect. It was the launcher, not the radar. So I had to ask for a refund. 

So I'm still looking for the S-350 radar model for a reasonable price.

Sorry, I had no idea.  I'll keep looking, though.

Your killing it with the assets man.

If there is any cargo airplane desperately needed in DCS World, I would say the An-124 Ruslan, "Condor".  Just my .02...

Or the An-2...
