BlackFalco Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 Hi guys! I'm new to DCS, have been playing for 6 months now. I'd like to ask to those "experts" of you which in your opinion are the "Must-have" mods (static objects, vehicles, ships etc) to fully enjoy DCS! Thanks to all of those who'll spend some time to answer
Zahnatom Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 the CH mods(all of them), High Digit SAMs and the IDF Asset Pack 2 #payrazbam #payrazbam #payrazbam

SA-5, SA-2 and SA-3 are in core game already, no need for mods. same for MIM-23 HAWK and Rapier 1 #payrazbam #payrazbam #payrazbam
Slippa Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 The OH-6A by Tobsen & Eightball. A gorgeous 'little bird'. 9
Beldin Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 Not mentioned yet are the great assets by Admiral189, Joey45 and the great new stuff from Tripod. It really all depends on the time frame and map(s) you want to use. And welcome to DCS 6 1

Slippa Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 (edited) Yeah, Welcome to DCS Modders are the magic elves of this place. I was gonna mention Admiral and his enormous fleet too but to be honest, all are doing wonders and each deserve credit. There's a long list thankfully. Love seeing everyone chip in with their expertise in different areas. We really are spoilt, they fill the place up. Edited June 27, 2024 by Slippa 9

MAXsenna Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 Not really mods per say. But we do have quite a few useful apps. Skatezilla's GUI Updater/Launcher, (if you're on Standalone), several mod managers, a livery manager. TacView, VoiceAttack, VAICOM a plugin for VoiceAttack to name a few from the top of my head.Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 2

Tomcatter87 Posted August 12, 2024 Posted August 12, 2024 I love Barthek's "Caucasus Redone" and Taz' "Better Trees", both make the standard map stunningly beautiful. As a Tomcat guy, I also love the EA-6B Prowler by VSN and Eightballs Seaking as well as the "Cold War Assets" mod by Tripod3. Also Massung 92's work is great, it was so cool that they decided to make many of them a part of the core game. 1 Modules: F-14A/B | M-2000C | AJS-37 | Mi-24P | F/A-18C | A-10C II | F-16C | UH-1H | F-5E | Mi-8 | FC 3 | AV-8B | A-4E | Gazelle | Ka-50 | Yak-52 | CE2 Maps: Syria | Marianas | NTTR | Persian Gulf | Caucasus Setup: Virpil WarBRD Base & VFX | TM Warthog | Arozzi Velocita Stand | Monstertech Mount | MFG Crosswind | Cougar MFDs | VRInsight Panel | JetSeat 908 | TrackIR

All his forum posts are no longer working Either some kind soul posts the mods, or you beg him to re post them I posted a link to many, but not all his add on s in the forums Search for 'By SuntSag" I think this is the title I used.

plott1964 Posted August 15, 2024 Posted August 15, 2024 (edited) Here's the latest on what "unofficial" mods others are flying. My "Must Haves" (aircraft mods) are the F-18 & F-15EX and Flaming Cliffs. Although I own the Apache and Huey as well. ...anything from @currenthill also.

What a sad news, that would explain why his YT channel has not been updated recently (at https://www.youtube.com/@suntsagancientgamer8241 ) I wish him all the best and hope he can get better and recover from whatever health issue he is facing, as his Mission Editor tutorials are sorely missed. 2 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

His missions and mods are great, he spends a great deal of time and effort on them and is a super nice guy too. Fingers crossed he can turn a corner soon. 2 2

That puts a serious crimp in using them in anything beside SP missions.
bbtbmb Posted August 21, 2024 Posted August 21, 2024 Don't get me wrong the modders do a great job and I appreciate everything they do!! I'd like to see Midway & Kittyhawk class boats as well as 70's Ark Royal & CVN65 and more tin cans!! plus some of the cold war era Solviet navy boats 1
