szcz13 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Hello guys, this is my first DCS mod that's been up on User Files for a couple of months now, but I've made a few updates greatly improving the mod since then and to avoid confussion and to make things easier, I decided to make this thread. This mod doesn't use stock DCS MiG-31 model, neither external or collision. It's not a MiG-31 replacer and what's important to people playing multiplayer - it doesn't break IC. The mod uses custom cockpit with majority of gages working, working lights, and datalink display. Mod is FC3 Su-27 dependent, which since FC2024 update means that you have to load the FC3 aircraft which is used by the mod before being able to jump into the modded aircraft. However the OvGME ready FC3 Fix mod I'm attaching fixes this but sadly it doesn't pass IC as it changes core game files. Along with the MiG-31BM I'm adding custom weapons - R-33, R-37 and R-37M. All of the added A/A missiles can be fired without launch permission override. Besides A/A weapons MiG-31BM mod can also use Kh-31P anti radiation missile, using a "dumb" fire mode with launch permission override. As of now mirrors and refueling option don't work properly.

Glen36 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Thank you for this cool mod, szcs13! Found it and little tested couple of days ago - very good job. There was a MiG-31K & MiG-31BM by JSN64 mod released in 2022 with K version, which one I have deleted to use your mod instead (this mod is messed with your). But now I'm thinking - is it possible to make K version based on your BM with using weapons luas from JSN64? Great work, thank you!

I thought about making the K version too, but I'm going to be honest - the main reason I haven't even started doing it is because while the BM version is just a cool coldish era/modern interceptor, which with it's A/A weapons can fight on par with modern blufor fighters (BVR of course), it's K version is only used to carry the Kinzhal missile. Which is nice, but main three reasons why I haven't even begun making them are: 1. It's too long range for DCS maps 2. Even if I implement it, it would be just another glorified long range anti-radiation missile as without proper FF systems (or complex CWS) we can't put coordinates in for weapons 3. My personal reason is the use of these missiles on civilians in Ukrainian war. Also, I edited and changed quite a lot with the last update, so if you haven't better download it instead of the older version. Edited March 8 by szcz13 2
Glen36 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I completely agree with you. I noticed that you have only 6 messages on the DCS forum and have already made an outstanding mod for DCS. How did you do it? Where did you acquire your skills, and how much time did it take? 1
szcz13 Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 I didn't really use DCS forum before that, passively if anything. As of a mod quality, I had some experience with 3D software like Blender and CAD, Photoshop and other graphic software understanding and some coding. So it was just a little bit of everything and a lot of hours. Had to pickup a lot of knowledge on the way. Also modding community helped a lot - without them and older mods as references it wouldn't be even near that easy. 1

Hi, Just wondering if you had fixed your mod with renaming the texture.dds file? you really shouldnt call a texture file that name as it messes with other textures from other mods and game textures are you able to rename it in 3ds and update mod? just want to add that just renaming the texture file in the texture.zip will not solve the issue it will just make ur cockpit have no texture you have to fix it inside the actual 3d model Cheers Edited Monday at 04:15 AM by FuryNZ1781

It's been fixed for a month now.

Also I have a lot of other mods installed and have no such issue. Try reinstalling and if you still have an issue some mod might be braking it, not mine. All textures that had somewhat common name where renamed. On your picture all the elements are grey which is pretty much impossible as there are at least 6 different texture files that should be used for different materials that I see here, not just one. Either your DCS uses one of modelviewer presets that renders objects without texture (which is weird and unlikely, but does look similar), or some mod is braking it. You could also try unzipping textures.zip, and later deleting the zip file only leaving textures folder. I doubt it's the issue though.
