Currenthill Assets Pack

Announcement

Hero2.png

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Currenthill, which will bring many of his outstanding ground vehicles, aircraft, and ship AI assets to DCS. Currenthill is well known in the DCS community for his excellent mod packs and these AI assets will be added to the Core engine free for all of you to enjoy. 

A huge amount of work has gone into integrating the assets; creating Levels of Detail; generating IR textures; adding desert, woodland and winter textures; creating damaged and destroyed models, and more. In parallel, we are creating new weapons like the Iskander, ATACMS, and IRIS-T SLM missiles to support these new assets. Some assets will also add new capabilities such as the IRIS-T surface to air missile system that features active radar-guidance paired with infrared-guidance; this makes it a deadly adversary.

Hero3.png

This first set of Currenthill assets will include the FV101 and the lightweight FV107 armoured vehicle for your South Atlantic missions; the Tor M2 and Pantsir S1 for short range and air defense systems; and enhanced Russian Main Battle Tanks (MBT) like the T-90A and T-90M. The M-ATV, M1083 tactical truck, and M1130 command vehicle will also be included for your Mid-East missions.

Hero4.png

For your European theatre missions, you’ll have a diverse range of new assets such as the Project 22160 Patrol Ship and air assets including the Mi-28N attack helicopter and the Tu-95MS bomber equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. For ground operations, you'll gain access to the BMPT Terminator IFV, the TOS-1A multiple rocket launcher, the 9K720 Iskander short range ballistic missile, the T-84 Oplot-M, and the T-64BV MBTs. Additionally, the modern IRIS-T SLM medium-range SAM and the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) that features both Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) and Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) will also be at your disposal. We look forward to adding additional Currenthill assets in the future.

The first iteration of the Currenthill Assets Pack will contain:

  • FV101 Scorpion LT
  • FV107 Scimitar CRV
  • T-90A MBT
  • T-90M MBT
  • T-84 Oplot-M MBT
  • T-64 Bv 2017 MBT
  • M1130 Stryker ICV
  • M-ATV MRAP
  • BMPT Terminator IFV
  • 9K720 Iskander SRBM (with 9M723K1)
  • M142 GMLRS MRL (with M30A1/M31 GMLRS)
  • M142 ATACMS MRL (with M39A1 ATACMS)
  • Pantsir S1 SPAAGM (with 57E6)
  • Tor M2 SHORAD (with 9M338)

  • Mi-28N Attack Helicopter (with Ataka and Igla)

We continue working on the integration of the assets into the DCS Core, and we look forward to sharing more details soon. A special thanks to Currenthill for bringing you all these tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, ships, and AI aircraft that will provide even more interesting and engaging missions to DCS.

Nice to see ED finally taking care of Assets. If it wasn't for the enviorment provided by CH and other modders I would have not spent a dime in DCS since long ago.

Hope it does not take two - three years as it is allways the case with teased AI content.

This thread has no business here, it’s far too sensible.

Lock it up 🔐 🤪

Oh fantastic!

One humble request. I feels kinda too much given how much Work Currenthill and now ED is putting into this. But we sorley need updated 3d models for the MiG23 and Su17/22. These are major cold war assets used by Soviets and others from early 70 and into the 90s. 

Because of the terrible 3d models on these

I have to use MiG21 as standins for both. The MiG29 didn't show up in useful numbers until the mid 80s. Giving a 10 year period where the 23 should be the main soviet air to air fighter. And the 3d model is so out of place many mission and campaign makers simply won't use it.

Is ED breaking new ground? I don't really understand the approach. Currenthill hasn't created a single model himself. At least, none that I know of. All models have been acquired or purchased. If I'm wrong, there was no requirement for original work to be done in order to adopt mods.

Yes! Both of these models are DESPERATELY in need of replacement. Not just for the new Cold War Germany map, but also Iraq, the Persian Gulf and probably Sinai and Kola, too.

Finally, an updated Tu-95 model!

Exactly my first thought. Excellent news getting more AI assets into DCS core.

Thanks Currenthill for the collaboration.

CurrentHills assets are nice surprise and I'm happy to see ED implement good quality 3rd party asset's like this.

TBH it means we'll get them much faster than if ED was to do them with all the other technical dept they have.

the models are very bad, the proportions and geometry are not respected. And it doesn't comply with ED's high quality policy.

How do you know ? They´re not added yet.

From the FAQ:
Q6: Are the new core assets the same assets as in the Currenthill mod packs?
A6: No. The library of new core assets are based off of the inventory of the Currenthill mod packs, but each asset are carefully chosen to be added to DCS. Each new core asset are implemented mostly from scratch to uphold a specific consistent standard of things like mesh and textures quality, animations, FLIR textures, LODs, destroyed models etc.

The Mi-28N Attack Helicopter looks as good as if it were a Commercially available Module. :shocking:
The C-17 Globemaster also needs some 3D Model maintenance.

It was enough for me to look at the screenshots

nullIt literally looks like a model made by a schoolboy. Pay special attention to the wheels of the opposite part

nullAnd what does it look like in reality
