Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

Yes, this has been brought up many times. The only weapon with a ballistic trajectory in DCS is the Scud, which unfortunately uses a parameter and dataset which isn't documented. So modders can't use it to create missiles with ballistic trajectories. The only way for modders to create ballistic missiles was to use the old DCS core missile features, which created a fake ballistic trajectory where the missile would climb to an apogee and then point straight towards the target. But it was better than nothing. All my ballistic missiles were made using that old feature. But unfortunately ED changed the core game a couple of versions ago which made all the missiles using the old weapon features to miss their target. It's like the target coordinates were changed to a hundred meters below the surface, which made all these weapons hit the ground in front of the target point. 

I've tested everything and then some to work around this issue. But to no avail. It came down to either remove all these ballistic missiles from my assets or go with the only working solution. In this case the least worst solution was to use a cruise missile scheme and increase the speed of the missile. So it's an accurate description to call them 5000 knot cruise missiles, haha. But I didn't want to remove all these assets, that's why I choose this solution. 

In order for this to be rectified, ED would either have to restore the old DCS core missile feature to working condition (not very likely) or publish documentation of how to use the Scud missile weapon scheme code (extremely unlikely). 

There IS a last-resort nuclear option modders may have to go for.

You already have them in French pack 5.0. mod

Anyway to get DPICM for HIMARS and the MLRS?  A Paladin FA System with DPICM and FASCAM would be great

Thanks a lot!

Hey CH.

 

First, thank you so much for creating so many quality mods for DCS. In particular, your assets have been utilized extensively for GR videos, resulting in a lot of interesting videos.

 

I was wondering if you've looked at Sea Power at all. If so, what are your thoughts on potentially producing mods for that game once the developers begin supporting modders (such as allowing for new 3D models to be added) and/or once the game is further along with its development?

 

It's definitely different than DCS in many ways, but I believe it has a great deal of potential for someone to create a truly entertaining "modern era" mod to bring Sea Power into the present and near future. I believe the aircraft AI and ground assets will also be receiving a lot more effort as the developers continue to work on the game. I'm hoping it eventually gets polished enough to the point it will provide a strategic warfare "sandbox" featuring a full-scale global arena along with the capability to model virtually all modern weaponry.

 

Regardless of your response, thanks again for all of your excellent work.

if they allow custom effects, nukes will likely be on the table (unless the devs make efforts to stop nuke mods)

@currenthill Переделайте пожалуйста БПЛА Герань 2. Они все не белые, а черные, и номер начинается на "Ы", а не "М". Номер пишется желтым цветом

Wild hope for 2025; reskin a bunch of the the US assets as 'taliban/daesh' for all that abandoned equipment, and some updated / CH's take on 'insurgent' ground troops.... 
now that we've got Iraq / Afghanistan maps ... we need some better insurgent assets!
 

[Kappa-131st]

@currenthill : is it possible to make a KA-27 that could deploy sonar or sonobuoys ?

null

[Kraken3-2]

are we going to get Russian and Chinese Infantry ? like with AK74Ms and AK12s and Type 95s

[Havoc86]

I also'd like to see Russian infantry (better in green masks just not to see a single face everywhere), some updated or new aircraft with new weapons like Su-34M, Su-57M, F-35 etc. Maybe some brand new heavy weaponry with conventional or even nuclear warheads (like Russian "Oreshnik" IRBM). Maybe some aerial and/or marine combat/reconnaissance drones? They are the reality of today's combat.

even nuclear warheads

Chizh said that nuclear weapons make the age restriction requirements for games stricter, 21+ probably (Therefore, such games will bring in less profit). This is one of the reasons why the developers refused to support weapons of mass destruction

 

[Maksim-t97]

Подскажите, как геранями или искандерами атаковать именно группу. Огонь по точке работает отлично, а когда выбираю атаковать группу, то ничего не происходит

[Bakerlight]

Attacking a group won't work because as far as public information says these systems are not able to attack moving targets. If you have seen somewhere that they can do such then to get that ability implemented you should provide said source and Currenthill may add those features in their own time.
