Korea '80s Theater - discussion

I’m very surprised because lack of feedback. Or everybody are waiting the full release before try it?
-
Molni better create a thread and ask for members to join a beta test team.
Create a list and ask them specific things to test.
That way u narrow down the what needs to be tested and u might have better chances for feedback. -
I need feedback about experiences during the capaign, report about sq. / ATO behavior. The functionality of wepons, SAMs, battalions are checked, the DB and campaign (Eurowar) seems to me CTD free, all new things are functional but I need feedback how hard, why so hard, how different is flying. Also I can examine any requests or ideas which can pup up from any minds what and how should be done.

Sorry Molni, but I’m RL busy for the next half year at least, so no time to fly at all.
Maybe other guys will need some more time to test and give feedback…
Cheers,

To be honest, the reason i didn’t try it, is because it overwrites my stock files, which i use for MP.:(
And i don’t want to backup everything again, if i’m flying with my squadm8’s.
That’s how it works, by reading the install instructions…. Or did i misunderstood that part?

FalconeerThe only thing what is have to be backed up in only the \sim directory and nothing else. The whole mod is spearated but the \sim directory is shared for all theaters as well as cockpits. Even if you copy the F-14 and F-16C Blk 40/42 pit files into \art\ckpart they do not cause any trouble.
If you wish to play my theater just use mine and if you use other use the original. A copy+delete action should not be an issue for a user who can fly with Falcon.

Still, I’d rather see it working, so you can switch it in the UI (like Balkans, Israel, etc), instead of copying and pasting files… Just my 2 cts

Khronik offered his help to make an installer but I do not know how can be solved the \sim directory swap. It is necessary without doing that the whole mode is pointless because it is not functional. If you wish to get a better modeled world you have to change it. FF supported the separated simdata for each theater but BMS4 still does not support this…
Maybe it is doable with config editor the theater swap but I do not how.

Molni,
I apologize. I haven’t been able to put in the time that this deserves. Work is taking a lot of my time these days. For what it’s worth, the six missions I did do went well. The only thing I’ve noticed so far is the default load out issue which you’ve already explained. I will try to get a bunch of time in this weekend. My wife AND kids will be gone…the perfect storm. -

I’ve downloaded your theatre and look forward to trying it out as we had a blast in your last release…. just haven’t had time yet unfortunately.
I wrote two simple batch programs to swap out the DBs last time that worked well. One just has to have appropriately named SIM folders: SIM-80S and SIM-ORIGINAL. The codes are:
Original SIM folder:
@echo off IF NOT EXIST "C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Sim-original" GOTO 80S1 REM MEANS ORIGINAL ALREADY INSTALLED IF EXIST "C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Sim-original" GOTO 80S0 REM MEANS ORIGINAL NOT INSTALLED :80S0 REM ORIGINAL SIM DATA IS NOT INSTALLED REM ECHO "WOULD BE CHANGING FOLDER NAMES NOW" REN C:\"Falcon BMS 4.32"\Data\Sim Sim-80s REN C:\"Falcon BMS 4.32"\Data\Sim-original Sim REM PAUSE GOTO EOF :80S1 REM ORIGINAL SIM DATA IS ALREADY INSTALLED ECHO ORIGINAL SIM DATA FOLDER ALREADY INSTALLED ECHO. PAUSE GOTO EOF :EOF
80’s SIM Folder:
@echo off IF NOT EXIST "C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Sim-80s" GOTO 80S1 REM MEANS 80'S ALREADY INSTALLED IF EXIST "C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Sim-80s" GOTO 80S0 REM MEANS 80'S NOT INSTALLED :80S0 REM 80'S SIM DATA IS NOT INSTALLED REM ECHO "WOULD BE CHANGING FOLDER NAMES NOW" REN C:\"Falcon BMS 4.32"\Data\Sim Sim-original REN C:\"Falcon BMS 4.32"\Data\Sim-80s Sim REM PAUSE GOTO EOF :80S1 REM 80'S SIM DATA IS ALREADY INSTALLED ECHO 80'S SIM DATA FOLDER ALREADY INSTALLED ECHO. PAUSE GOTO EOF :EOF
I’m sure someone can come up with something sexier… sexy programming isn’t my thing, as you can see.

JSGME can be of great help. Light, simple, fast.

A mod enabler. It consists in a MODS folder and an executable, which you have to place at the root folder of your game/simulator.
You put your modifications (textures, sounds, theaters…) in the MODS folder, just like if it was the BMS root folder.Example for some custom M2000 textures and sound for base Korea and Israel:
All your default files are backed up in the !Backup folder, and they are automatically replaced to their original location when you disable your mod.
Its drawbacks IMO are the lack of in-file modifications (i.e adding a line to theaters.lst), and also being kinda slow if you have a loooot of default files to replace.A little tutorial: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607 (MODS renaming part is not necessary as it is DCS specific)
F4Patch might get the job done too, although I have no idea on how it works yet, and I don’t know what are its advantages/drawbacks.

I will check when the time is coming.

thanks man!

In the released version I will plan to make the following changes in OOB of Eurowar.
- The number of squadrons will be smaller and maybe the qty. of AC in squadrons will be slightly lower to get higer ground unit / AC ratio which means longer campaings because of less firepower.
- The damage of ARMs will be reduced to get better SAM survivability in both 2D and 3D world.
- The number of squadrons at 0 hour of campaign will be smaller some sq. will arrive in the 1st day and some more until 2nd day as reinforcement.
- Maybe I wll create an alternative version of campaign as an “extra stuff” with SOJ AC but for this goal I have to edit the DB and copy the EF-111 as Su-24 ECM variant.
-
Mi-24 with R-60. I’m sure now that I will give the R-60 capability for Mi-24 before is not as theoretical as I imagined.
-
Dogfight training in Mi-24 (you can also see R-60M carried by Mi-24 in this video)
Full videos:
Mi-8 also carried those, rarely.

Molni,
Just flew an strike on Koksan from Kunsan. The defenses are tough. Very exciting and fun. I ran into no problems so far.And nope, I didn’t make it. I got schwacked by a MiG-29 right after I evaded 2 x SA-3s and an SA-2. Good times!
