Miles Vorkosigan Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 What do you all think? I have never flown it but I did buy it today in the DCS Winter Sale. To add more variety to the Vietnam War server I am going to include it as a stand-in for the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly close air support jet. Would this be a good match for the Vietnam War era? Right now the server is mostly A-4 Skyhawks and F-5E-3 Tiger IIs, with a few P-51s as stand ins for the Skyraider (not at all a good match but it is what we have). Need to figure out a way to restrict it so AIM-9s are not able to be mounted though. Any comments? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kontiuka Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) As a loose substitute, why not? C-101CC looks to be a little underpowered and under-armed compared to the A-37 but it's a fun module with multi-crew capability. Decent for COIN ops.

Miles Vorkosigan Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 I put it in the server mission, lets see how it goes. Still need to figure out how to keep it from loading AIM-9s, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Vorkosigan Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Unfortunately, after some testing it seems that the C101CC is not a good fit for the Vietnam War server. The weapons available are not compatible with the airframe except for MK82s and guns. The server is restricted to weapons that were available in that era.

kontiuka Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 ok. well, just as an fyi, you can modify the "DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\C-101\C-101CC.lua" file to remove AIM-9s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Vorkosigan Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Hey Kontiuka, thanks for that. Would that be possible for the Server or just for the Client? Also, would that work to include other weapons for the airframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kontiuka Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Sorry. Not a multi-player guy. You'd have to ask someone familiar with running servers. I'm going to take a guess and say it's possible but don't really know. You might be able to add weapons using the lua but this is likely a lot more work.

Miles Vorkosigan Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 There are a few of us testing, I assigned the C101CC to two air bases and allowed a restricted rocket types and added the gun/cannon pods. This might still work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kontiuka Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Cool. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Vorkosigan Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Well, it seems to work great. I think we will keep it on our Vietnam War public server. Everyone who is interested in our public server and our weekly co-op missions are welcome to drop into our Discord and say hi. Thanks Koniuka for your help. If anyone else has an idea, tip, or suggestion please chime in on this thread or discord. So far this is an excellent airframe, thanks Aviodev! https://discord.gg/C5C3Kw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengu Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Miles, out of curiosity, what were the issues with C101 and rockets? (You said only guns and Mk82s.) Also, what about P-47 as a better stand-in for A-1 and T-28 Trojan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Vorkosigan Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 We have the P-51 in the server as a stand-in for the A-1 Skyraider, I would be willing to place P47s as well. The C101CC is a pretty good stand-in for the A37 Dragonfly the issue with the armament is that the rockets that the C101 is able to use are too new for a 1968 Vietnam mission. I got around this by putting the C101 at two airfields that are not shared by the A-4s and F-5s. And I only allowed HE and smoke rockets. The idea is that the C101, like the A37 Dragonfly, will be used as close air support tasks or general target destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
