maturin Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 One thing that DCS is missing from old LOMAC is pre-made ground unit groups. It used to a work of seconds to slap down an entire S-300 SAM site. Now it takes a lot of fiddling with the editor, and more importantly I have no idea how many tubes etc there are supposed to be. Does anyone know where to find some template or list of units in various SAM setups, like Patriot, Buk, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) "What's a SAM site like? " Love and affection ? The occasional non-manouvering target to munch up... ^^^^ Actually - it isn't :) In the ME is a button that lets you put down (& / or save for future use) template groups (looks like a rubber stamp). Click the button, select the country then the group you want to place (S-300 site is one of the defaults) place the group, change the orientation, unclick the button (or you'll leave S-300 sites all over the map :-) Use the same form to save your own custom groups. Search the forums & people have kindly left pre-prepared templates of a wide variety of groups. Edited August 15, 2012 by Weta43 Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) There are prefab templates made for a few different sam sites within the sim. Just find the "create and modify templates" button on the sidebar. There are also a few template files floating around the forums somewhere that has several templates which have been made. But generally speaking the sam sites that have several units required to make it work. Just look for objects with: TR - Tracking radar SR - Search Radar LN - Launcher STR - Search/Tracking Radar edit: sniped ^_^ Edited August 15, 2012 by Grimes The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

blahdy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It'd be sick if we can have PAC-3 missile in DCS :) (someday..) I'd like to setup 6 LNs loaded with PAC-2 GEMs and 2 LNs loaded with 16x PAC-3 rounds for a nice layered setup. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFMTL Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 What's a SAM site like? Its missile emplacement for shooting down aircraft....buts that's not important right now. :D 1 [sigpic][/sigpic] US Air Force Retired, 1C371 No rank or title will ever be as important as the unit patch you wear.

maturin Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Alright, cool, I found the S-300 template... and promptly deleted by hitting the red X button accidentally. In a case of non-idiot-proof design brilliance, this deleted the template for the entire game without a prompt. So same question over again... anyone know what's in a S-300 site so I can re-do the template? A mission with one would do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setup with following: - 30N6 TR - 64N6 SR - CP (command post) - LNs (there is C and D; one is smart TEL and one is dumb TEL. Dumb TEL should be slaved behind C/smart TEL, so you can setup 6 launchers mixed with both C and D variants) Optionally add 5N66/76N6 Clam Shell to improve low altitude coverage of S-300.

I think you should find that if you rename or delete the templates.lua file in Saved Games\DCS\Mission Editor, you will get your deleted S-300 template back.

Mustang Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Maybe this will help too? it looks like it might have templates for SAM sites. http://files.lockon.ru/en/136413/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Thanks all. SEAD is a blast, although the sites aren't very aggressive, not opening fire on my until the Kh-58s are already in the air. And do they ever turn off their radar (seems like it should be an option in Combined Arms)? Edited August 15, 2012 by maturin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wot, you no likey-likey goodest feature? :D Make your own SAM sites and vehicle columns etc, then save them as a mision file called "maturin-templates.mis" so that when you delete your templates again - and you will delete them again - then you can re-open it and recover the site layout, and re-save them as templates within the mission editor.

cichlidfan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Useless Patriot factoid. If you take the control workstation out of the truck (it's on wheels), do not try to roll it over a carpetted floor into a conference room. It's no fun and the wheels will even cut through quarter-inch masonite. Plus you have to get it back out again (more masonite sheets)! :P I used to work for the company that designed it.

You can use Alarm state Red/Green which should activate deactivate the radar. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
