rato65 Posted March 28, 2024 Posted March 28, 2024 (edited) A simple mod providing swimming polar icebergs and icesheets, to be placed as ships at sea, coming in two sizes (IceSheet1 and IceSheet2). They can follow a waypoint path to simulate drift and have collision, but no damage model. Ships have no chance... Helicopters can land on some areas, which allow to land without sinking into "snow". You need to find out by yourself, as IRL. Structures like biwaks etc can be placed, same here with "snow". This is due to an integrative collision model, which does not reflect the surface 1:1. Helicopters and ships are not part of this package. Tested with DCS 2.9 DOWNLOAD: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2l4spy1b9upntxzbdbqs0/IcebergsV01.zip?rlkey=lzioj6o5t0gid4t11bwy9bh3a&dl=0 INSTALL: Unzip the package. 1. Copy the content of "tech" into your "Saved Games/DCS/Mods/tech" folder CREDITS: The 3D model of the icesheet was downloaded from Turbosquid with permission for royalty free usage and distribution. I made some changes to the original model though, and included a simplified collision shape. Take warm clothes! cheers, rato65 Edited March 29, 2024 by rato65 10 4

NoCallsign Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 rato65 says "Helicopters and ships are not part of this package." but using Eightball's Civilian Assets Pack - Navy v2.1, the MH-60R sub-mod, DCS weather set to winter and a little imagination will get you this... 12 1
Tanuki44 Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 Superb work I'll see some polar bears on it... 2
