It works! Sometimes I have to re-save the mission, but its a work-around till they fix it. For now, I can fly the Raptor. So Thank You.

With Vietnam War Vessels 2.3.0 I thought I take the Christmas day evening for some celebration via a simple self made mission, https://tetet.de/dcs/missions/a4-e-rota-attack-vwv-moose-230.miz

The primary task is to fly from Forrestal to Rota and bomb the airfield, including AAA, MiG-19s and some (very evil) trucks. Meanwhile there is an A-4 strike group targeting torpedo boats anchored at the North coast of Rota. And a surface group bombarding a coastal artillery position.

Ok, first wire :smiley:

Amazing work @TeTeT. Your efforts and those of all the contributors are greatly appreciated.

Previously, I had a separate archive for VWV and VWV liveries. Are the liveries now part of the main 2.3.0 archive?

Thank you.

Nice review of the OH-6A v1.6

Yeah, since 2.0.0 or so we have just one multi-part archive on github and a all-in-one archive on Google Drive. Glad you’re enjoying the mod! We’re working on some maintenance stuff 2.3.1 and update a bunch of assets with new configs.

Nice! Official Module or fan mod?

1 Like

Not sure, but I would guess a fan mod. From the creators of the OH-6A mod.

Yes, the OH-6A dev team of @EightBall and Tobsen. So, it should like the LOACH, with a bit more powah, newer panel, T tail, 5 bladed main rotor, and a 2 or 4 bladed tail rotor.

Excellent, between that and ViolentNomads AH-1, I don’t think I’ll need to buy another module for a while. Also any idea what map, and what vehicle mods they’re using in the trailer?

Also the original AH-6 mod has been updated one final time, as per the creator he’s done with it as a mod of the AH-6 since the new one by Eightball and Tobsen is coming out. He’s leaving it as template for an EFM helo, if others want to make their own.

The penultimate version of the AH-6 EFM demo mod is available on github:

A list of missing features and limitations includes:

Basic vortex ring state

Basic ground effect

No autorotation

Radio and communications are not functional

No pilot model

Probably some of bugs

List of features:

Main flight instruments function

Working weapon system and cold start with clickable switches

Can control from both seats

Working RWR

Can use M134 minigun, GAU-19 and rockets

Basic Damage model

Basic multicrew (can switch controls but cockpits not synced)

I’ve been spending a lot of time in the Mirage2KC lately. Last night I had to DL and try out the new OH-6A. It was quite fun. While the flight model seems improved, it seems not as twitchy. The landing gear seems more resilient too. Noice! Thank you guys.

Black Hawk down! We got a Black Hawk down!

The details are mouth-watering.

Some new assets are coming with the mod. The Afghanistan map is mentioned in this video. @TeTeT might have a good guess as to what assets are used.
