Hercules mod by Anubis on Kola Map???

[TonyRS]

Hi folks…
Is anyone able to confirm they can place a Hercules on the Kola map and actually spawn into it and fly it around?
I’ve placed a Hercules at Bodo, on Kola, but despite being able to select it, It never allows me to spawn into it?

Its an issue with DCS Dynamic Spawns + Community Mods. Our server devs had similar issue with T-45C and F-22A. We modified some lua code and got it to work eventually. So for now all community mods cannot use dynamic spawns. Hope that helps @TonyRS

Yes, thank you. Very helpful. Will look at how to avoid dynamic spawns for this aircraft in my mission. Cheers

OK, just tried.
New mission, Kola map, just one Hercules at Bodo, no dynamic spawns.
Result… Still just freezes DCS, unable to spawn into Herc.
Disappointing! But thanks for taking the time to reply.

Any clues on what lua you modified to get Herc on Kola to work? Would love to know! Kola is one map where the Herc could prove particularly useful
Update: Apparently, you need to spawn in at a location south of 66 degrees North, You seem to be able to fly, quite happily, above 66N but you need to start south of that

Interesting. We've had no clue will try it this week and get back to you.

You can spawn and fly from Kemi-Tornio. It works and has something with the limitation in the Code of the Hercules to do. So Luleå should also work…

Yep, thanks - can spawn in anywhere below 66N - However, 66N is pretty low on the Kola map so using Herc on Kola map is too limiting to bother with
No news on the C-130 module for so long now one has to wonder if it has disappeared down a black hole never to reappear?

It's still got an active Discord.  I can't imagine there's a lot to say as you get close to the end and are finishing/polishing things.  And they've already said they have an internal release target date set, so I'd be shocked if we don't see it before spring.

Thnx - Believe it when I see it
