New mod ideas?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I am new to the DCS modding community and I want to get my feet wet with modding and all that jazz. I know LUA and I have toyed around with 3d modeling. I can put a plane in game and get it to fly with lot of help but I can do that basics. I am just looking for suggestions from the community that would like to see something in DCS. I come from a strong aerobatic background in this community so I am all ears open :)

welcome and thank you for you good news! :-) please feel free to do some soviet era airfield equipment mod, new ammo bunkers, soviet specific shelters (hardened) for aircrafts (AU11-16) , crew and vehicles, radar hills, fuel depots, vehicles, towbars, fuel trucks, new APA (Ural and Zil 131), tower, flight lin check points, crew buildings, fences, walls, trees and bushes. . . and so on. . .

I know it's unlikely but...hum, an UFO maybe?

I mean, not a flying saucer, a proper ufo. Like a flying orb or a large pinball.

Something that would leave the player wondering what he just saw zipping by his canopy.

 

Cherry on the cake would be to "hide" it inside another mod, like a "barrel and crates" mod or something so it could be added to a mission without the player suspecting it.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I will try my best to work with what I have. I am unable to do anything related to an EFM right now because I do not have the knowledge of the language that it uses. Ground assets are a good start and I will take any suggestions from those. I am American so I will most likely be doing more American content but I will try to add some variation in there. I saw the post about the drone. That is a good idea however, there already is a drone in the game and to access the laser designation I would have to have access to the SDK I believe, which is a 3rd party only tool.

My humble suggestion as a future project:

 

The Sukhoi T-12/Sh-90... the cancelled successor to the Su-25.

 

Early variants even re-used Su-25 components for much of the fuselage (and some used Mig-29 engines):

This means that the Su-25T cockpit can be reused!

 

It is pretty well documented for an unbuilt project, and would give us a higher performance Su-25 with an expanded weapon load and expanded sensors (at least by adding a hidden Fantasmagoria pod). So, it could be a relatively fun and quick aircraft to model.

My suggestion? Learn the basics through making a ship or ground vehicle. There's a lot of basic principles to understand in coding, modelling and texturing without having to getting too complex.

How about a Yak-55M and some good custom airshow objects.
