Because there are so many mods (and different folks want different ones), we typically ask those who are interested in having a mod supported to help implement support for it. We've actually just revamped our modded unit support wiki page to make it even easier to use, so if you're keen to give it a go, you can follow the step-by-step instructions on there and submit a PR. https://github.com/dcs-retribution/dcs-retribution/wiki/Modded-Unit-Support 1

I will take a look at step by step on the wiki but I don't think Im smart enough lol There's no youtube tutorial, sorry. We don't actually produce any video guides because those cannot be updated easily, unlike a wiki. As long as you can set up a dev environment and do some basic Python and Lua programming, you should be able to follow the guide on the wiki.
Starfire13 Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 Retribution now supports Afghanistan East and West and there is a new campaign, Clash of the Titans, that uses both sides of the map. The new campaign is available in both the Alpha and Beta builds. Retribution now also supports the EW Script 2.0 (thanks to Drexyl), allowing defensive jamming by AI aircraft, and offensive/defensive jamming by player aircraft (controlled via F10 menu). This feature is only available in the Alpha build for now. As always, if you are unsure how to download Alpha or Beta builds, please refer to our Getting Started Guide on the wiki: https://github.com/dcs-retribution/dcs-retribution/wiki/Getting-started Questions are always welcome on our discord: https://discord.gg/b4x34Bg4We For those new to Retribution, welcome. And for those already using Retribution, thanks for the continued support. You guys are the reason we do what we do. 4
Starfire13 Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 Some shots showing off the latest Afghanistan campaign, as well as the Electronic Warfare script doing its thing. In the attached screenshots, see Growlers and F22s escorting a flight of Vipers to clear out an enemy FOB before Chinooks bring in troops to secure it. We've also just added support for the E-7 Wedgetail and the MiG-31BM mods. Cold War Assets mod support has also been updated to 1.2. All these are features available in the latest alpha build. 3
Starfire13 Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 (edited) Retribution 1.4 has now released! https://github.com/dcs-retribution/dcs-retribution/releases/tag/v1.4.0 For those who on the very latest alpha, there is no need to update. For everyone else, remember that Retribution is under rapid development and new Preview Builds are released frequently. There are new alpha builds typically at least once a week, while beta versions come out once or twice a month. We strongly recommend keeping Retribution up to date via these Preview Builds to benefit from the latest features, campaign content, bug fixes, and compatibility updates with DCS.

MrOrangePZ Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Hi, really good job on this one! Question, is there a possibility so that players that got killed cannot respawn in one mission, but in the next one? If so, how to do it?

Question, is there a possibility so that players that got killed cannot respawn in one mission, but in the next one? If so, how to do it? Yes, that's exactly how it works. You do not respawn during a mission if you get shot down. But you can fly again in the next mission if you choose to. There is a permadeath option if you so choose where your pilot is gone for good if shot down (but you can pick a different pilot for the next turn if you so wish), but that's purely optional. You can also set it so that your pilot is immortal (just pretend he survives the crash and is rescued) so that even if you get shot down, you always come back. I highly recommend reading the wiki where the various options (and there are a lot of options to customise the experience) are explained. 1

If you launch the mission in multi-player you can respawn from any available slot during mission. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Some folks choose to do so, others don't. Personal preference.
