Mod News: Pretty cool Xtreme list from HJ

[NRG-Vampire]

First, id like to tell you: I dont want to advertise others projects but it was fantastic and unbelievable to me what i saw in MP so i must share with you guys:

Last night i joined into Hungarojet's test server without any mods.

(^ As i remember it called: =MW= ModWorld );)

I almost fainted. He flew with F-16C and dropped LGBs, fired AGM-88 HARMs and exploded dozen SAMs included S-300s well.

Later he flew Su-30, fired KH-31P from 80 kms far from and killed a Patriot SAM site. :shocking:

He rearmed these aircrafts and MiG-25 with different loadouts online at airbase.

Unfortunately i forget to make screenshots ( i was totally shocked) but today he sent me a PM and linked two screenshots of his project. :thumbup:

He wrote he's trying to make a working MW-1 pod for Tornado, Dual AMRAAMs, Harpoon and AGM-65G, H for F18C.

He also try to make the Hornet able to refuel in air and add AGM-122 antiradar missile for the AH-1W Cobra.

He made working Dual Stingers for Apache and for BattleHawk and told me he add some new crafts into FC2 instead of half implemented units, but got some problems (bug?) what he'd like to fix.

 

 

As you see on list:

AH-60L Battle Hawk <--> Sea Lynx

MiG-21bis <--> Tu-141 Strizh

F-15E <--> Tu-143 Reis

and EA-6B Prowler which is also "half-ingame"

(^maybe he will add Gripen)

 

 

He wrote we can find and see these "half-ingame" units in CustomHuman.lua and in Names.lua, (i did it):

Tu_143 = 35;

Tu_141 = 36;

EA_6B = 44;

-- laTypes[""] = Sea_Lynx; -- 15 Sea Lynx Mk88.

 

I really CAN'T wait till this (fixed or not) mod come out from him but he wrote he's too busy and don't know when will finish it :cry:

 

[159th_Viper]

Interesting :)

 

That said - Thank Goodness for the Mandatory Integrity Check!:worthy:

[Robin_Hood]

Integrity check is great for public servers, but can be annoying for private servers between people who know each other.

 

I would sure follow this project closely, sounds interesting. If we could have an official word from the maker(s) :)

[Boberro]

I will like this mod. However I doubt if we can fully enjoy fighter FM in bomber plane.

As i know, there isnt fighter or bomber FM in FC2 since 1.2.1 patch came out.

There is F-14A FM, Su-24M FM etc. Doesnt matter which cockpit you use.

Each aircrafts got own FMs as Glowing_Amrram wrote 2-3 years ago.

Do you remember "flyable" B-1B in LOMAC? Flew like a brick, but now: great :thumbup:

 

With 1.2.1 Patch this is the best Flanker2/LOMAC/FC1/FC2 simulation :megalol:

If he can make a functional F-15E, only then will I consider this the greatest mod ever made

[MIGHAIL]

so, in dcs could be add flybirds of fc2? with cockpits? i will bad filling with other cockpit f-15 for f-18 or kivoa with bs pit, so it could be ad flyable pits and craft to bs?

I will happy with this functional AntiRadar missiles.

Till now(?) it was able only for the Su-25T.

Can you imagine how it will increase the efficiency in a FULL MP mission ?

Real wars/battles start with SEAD strikes also.

I wanna see it in FC2/DCS too: a Client Machmovers with AGM-88 or Kh-31P :joystick:

[Robin_Hood]

Yeah, SEAD is a bit lacking player-wise in FC2.

 

As for mods, I think I'll try to clarify a few things:

 

Regarding FMs

 

Sure, every plane in FC2 has it's own Flight Model. That doesn't mean each plane will feel and act like the real thing, or even come close. Remember, this FMs are intended for use by the AI, not by players. For exemple, try any of the huge transport/bomber/tanker, you will see that (as an exemple) they are fitted with über-flaps. That makes them flyable, but hardly spot-on realistic.

Still, better than previously of course :thumbup:

 

By the way, limiting available input with saturation in Axis Commands is a sweet way of simulating big 'n heavies a bit better ;)

 

Regarding adding stuff

 

At the moment, it seems that we can't add a new airplane from scratch, or to be more precise, we can't add a brand new slot for an airplane. However, it is possible to clone one, with same FM, 3D model, but different characteristics, payload... Not sure what exactly you can have different, but hardly the miracle solution.

 

New cockpits can be added, even since FC1 (though no public final mod has used this feature yet). Gauges placed anywhere you want, 3D cockpit model the way you like, everything except HUD and MFD. As far as I know (though I only know from hearsay - there was a thread not long ago over here which went into some details about that, and it was firts-hand experience), this issue hasn't been sorted out.

So, short answer is : new cockpits, yes, but no HUD or MFD (and a lot of work doing the cockpit !)

[crazyeddie]

There are no models for the EA 6B or the Lynx in game yet, everything else is there and has been activated, so cannot see how he can get those two to work unless he is creating his own models for them ?
