Pretty cool, thanks for pointg it, TK should see that and create a Modern warfare expansion with improved avionics!

I would love to see a better Su-25, the coalition shoot down some of them, and our current model is pretty outdated.

AFAIK, the Vipers did a lot of DEAD missions using free fall bombs, and mostly iron bombs.

Will the final user still need the game? I mean, he will still need the game lod files?

A new module for DCS costs 70$, I will pay the same, and maybe even more for a Avionics update to the game. After all, almost all my siming time is devoted to SF2.

I made my post on YAP Facebook, but seeing how he helped here too, my -S- for him here too.

If you don't share any of TK files, you can do wathever you want.

AFAIK Some time ago was possible to refuel mid air with some kind of fake engine or something like that, but TK killed that in a patch, maybe is possible to get it back, we don't need to code all the A-A refuelling thing.

He doesn't care If we mod, exes, DLL, CAT's or wathever! Just check the mail!! What we CANOOT is to share his files, but we can make patches changing what we need. He even said, "you'll need to update the mods when we update our games" so he's well aware of what we want to mod.

I would like to be positive about this, but for getting somewhere, we need to start working on it, and I'm not even sure anyone knew where to start.

Here's the answer from TK to my question, note how he specificates, mods we can create that change binary files!!!, exes, dll, cat, etc... WE CAN CHANGE WATHEVER WE FEEL NECESSARY. Is simply we cannot share his original files, but we can create a patch that change the needed files, and we can redistribute it, cause as I already said before, the final user will still need the original game/DLC. Is like Blackbird stated, just like Team Daidalos do, and I think is fair game to do it that way. I don't know If we have the people/knowledge to mod it the sim that way, I hope we do, but first of all we would need to gather a team that is willing to do such mods. IMHO Avionics are a must, so we can improve the 80's to 2000's planes.

I asked for that approach for years now, even contacted TK with similar words, and he agreed, we can do it. What we cannot, is to share his files, but we can release any patch we want to hack/crack the code, in order to improve the game, or add features, cause the final user will still need a legal copy of the game/games. (I can post the TK answer if someone wants to see it)

Just amazing! Please don't forget the semi-NVG hability!

I miss those advanced features on SF, being able to search myself the targets I want to attack using a EO device, or slewing the A-A radar are really fun. That, together with features like mid air engine restarts and A-A refuelling make DCS the only platform for the future. A real pity we cannot see more aircraft in FC3 style and of course, more maps.

A real pity we don't have a proper mission planner, cause this plane really deserves it!

Are we there yet?

Nice target you're overflying mate! Can I know the location please?

You did what profesionally??? BTW What is that AAA?

I agree, some ground targets moving around or even static on trenches or near the frontile would be a cool addition. And Yes, Romain Hugault is a great artist, and have a thing for colorful paintschemes lol Mandatory screenshot.

I erased my whole Effects folder and then extracted the original one and reinstalled, my effects, tracers, muzzle flashes, are back. Thanks guys! Castillac approves!

Love them!

Will try this evening at home. Thanks. BTW Will you release Russian Nieuport 17's too?

I have proper entries, and installed Laon effects, but nothing, no muzzle flahses, no tracer. Really annoying!

Welcome back and sure you will go trough all those problems! Stay well man!

No idea of why, but my install does not have gun flahses or tracers, is that historical? Or is that I'm missing effects?
