Flanker562's Mods

[Flanker562]

With that manual out of the way, kind of, not much else has been done. It's been a busy week unrelated to gaming, so right now I may look into the Double Digit SAM Mod (I think that's what it's called, anyway) as another way to look into the just-released manual. That'll be the next one to tackle. I tried to fire IIR Mavs on the Hornet to practice shooting at a Tunguska (had regular vehicles to get the procedure down, but it was crossed out even though I think the Maser Arm was on, so I will have to look into that sometime soon), so I think Mavs can be used on it, without getting shot at, I don't know. I also have to see if the ECM that is internal will work on it, or not. I have Smelly's script, but it's modded by somebody else to work only with the Growler, and that's more realistic, so I'll see sometime.

I managed to fire up DCS today, and got the Tunguska covered more or less. I need confirmation if it can shoot down missiles, but I don't expect it to though, never heard of it, but this has been updated maybe, so if it does, I would appreciate the knowledge for the write up, which is done now. I won't upload until I do the Tor next (SA-15), so right now I'll chill out and work on the Tor in the upcoming week. I remember from the DCS Ironhand guide that the Tor at higher skill would shoot the Mav down, and pretty sure the JSOW would be shot down due to the slow speed and so on. Not much in the future. I may look at currenthill's AIM-174B and see if he does things differently than what NIGHTSTORM did, maybe it's just file structure, or maybe it's truly borked mod-wise for the foreseeable future. Other than the future patch update, I'll see what happens when the next patch and see if that's going to work now. Other than that not much planned.

Okay looked at the AIM-174B mod from currenthill, and it's like Nightstorm's mod, so it's just as borked as the AIM-120D that I want to do. So essentially the missile mod is dead in the water, since I was hoping for something different to maybe work with, to get it moving along. I miss the AIM-120D, and I'm sure people do too. But ED either redid some things, or unintentionally messed things up, so we're in this situation. I think tomorrow I'll play with the Tor though. I do need to get confident in the IIR Mav at least, maybe I can do a shoot with an E against this one, but I expect it like the A-10C II when I tried it years ago. So we'll see how it goes, and I'll upload a version with that data, to keep things moving along.

AFAIK there's no chance to mod the missiles, ED do not want that to "protect" the MP envinroment.
