It wasn't in structures, but helicopters on mine. You were right, I've edited the first post.

andyc Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 23 hours ago, crazyeddie said: Yep, thats it. Make sure you get the link number right and it should work. I dont know about other models though, there could be issues with the ships collision shells etc, that caused problems on some ship models with flight decks. So its worked on ocean - however is it possible to position the static model on deck ? - its currently sitting bang in the middle half way down ? I also put the icon over hms ocean - i assumed linking it was good enough... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyeddie Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 You should be able to place it anywhere you want on the deck, are you sure you are putting it down as a structure, sitting in the middle it sound s as if its placed as a flyable. (If you place it in the middle over the ships icon thats where it will appear in the game !!) Little Bridge Symbol on the left - Helicopters - Place the Helo - pick the one you want from the drop downs. Link it. Pick the Livery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick the Livery. yup thats what I am doing - BUT how are you getting that zoomed up view of the ship ? All I am getting is an icon of it ? Suspect that explains why its going in the middle/ can't place it where i want. I am as you can tell a complete newbie to the mission planner !

joey45 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The little tank icon at the bottom The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Oban Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Has the rotation of the rotors been fixed ? Last version I was using had the trailing edge of the blade as the leading edge, if that makes sense ?

Last version I was using had the trailing edge of the blade as the leading edge, if that makes sense ? No, it's the exact same mod that was released a while back. I've just included into the main mod the extra liveries CrazyEddie and Neo47 made after the original release. 3 Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcatter87 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Just updated the Seaking Mod to the new version with the additional liveries - just wonderful. It's one of those assets I really look forward to just seeing on the deck or in the air when I place them in my missions.

I don't think any helicopters can be made to do the AWACS missions (AEW) in DCS. I was able to convert a few planes to the AEW role but Helicopters were a no go. I'm not sure if this is because there is no AWACS mission type for helicopters in ME or because there is no AWACS attribute for helos. Or both. But AEW helicopters should be added to the DCS wish list at some point. There are now many nice Carrier mods that do use AEW helicopter in real life so it would be nice to have that in game 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie1-1 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Surprising it hasn't been there the whole time seeing as AEW is Helo based on the Kuznetsov. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't given it a thought about AEW not having a place in the helicopter side of ME. Makes absolute sense. I agree with everyone else who says this should be a "thing" in DCS...
