aussieboy Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I just had quick look, does the logbook just use the db_countries? I can add us in that easy enough, check the screenshot below. There's a few images I see referenced, medals, and a ground crew, what else do I need to do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Gday Aussie, thx for your reply, im actually working on Australian medals and decorations, ive done up an Australia flag and the British rank bars could be used for RAAF rank , I have also played around with a LUA file that points to all the elements, but i would also add some Army rank as well, im just waiting for the latest path to finish DL and il see if i have done it, il post again shortly. I have also made up some Aust RAAF Squadron Insignia, i will work on 5 Av soon.

Strut Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Just had a look in-game, no joy. Also i want the mod to be able to be accessed via the LogBook Menu at the DCS Start UP screen, so when u look in there you will see an Australian selection. I spose i will just need to locate all the folders and pathways for it to happen, shouldnt be difficult really.

aussieboy Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yeah buddy sure will, I'm just heading out the door for a couple of hours, when I get back I'll write up some instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieboy Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 We will need to find more images of, awards, strips, and 2x flags, one waving one flat. If I can use what you have already it will save some time, I can handle any graphics if required. You will also need an aircraft or helo skin with "Australia" as the country in it's description, I can supply one of each to get us going. I had to delete my current logbook too for it to take but we'll deal with later. Anyway better go, misses is getting upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Ok Aussie, im on to it, i have most of those things and i will start to get them all together, i will also mod an A10 skin with an Australian description, i have the two flags, gongs (British ones, but they will do for now) Strips and some squadron Emblems, i also have to beat a hasty retreat as the beer is not getting any colder, so il start work tomorrow building up a folder for it.

Strut Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Gday there Highway mate, you leave the S77th ? It sounds like a plan il get on to it asap, i also added 5 Aviation Regiment to it , thats in the hope of one day flying Chooks, Blackhawks and MH90's lol but will be satisfied they fly Huey's for now. And i will play around with the ranks, il try and put in Army rank as well. Thanks again to Aussieboy, but i do rekon we need to square it away before we release the final mod.:thumbup: Regards DL available skins here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=Strut Pictures of my Skins here: https://imgur.com/a/bOQyQqW [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64bit, Intel® Core i7-5820K CPU OC @ 4.50GHz x6, X99A GAMING PRO CARBON, MSI RTX 2080 TI GAMING X TRIO 11Gb, 32GB DDR4 RAM, SSD 960 EVO250GB, SSD 850 EVO 500GB, JetSeat, MFG Crosswind Pedals, VPC Mongoose T-50, TMWH, DSD ButtonBox, Pimax 5k XR/BE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Heres a pic of the final Logbook so far with current Australian decorations and correct Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) rank shoulder slides, also few of the Squadron insignia and the Australian Army Aviation Regiment Badge. Contrary to popular belief, Australia dont use British devices, uniforms, insignia, etc etc, although our origins and some traditions are definitely British and similar in some ways. Il also try to work out how to do Army Rank for those who prefer to fly in Army Aviation, although they are mostly rotary wing and all we have in DCS is the Huey which Australia did use but has long ago retired for Blackhawks, Chooks etc. Il release it on the DCS "User Files" site asap with directions for placing the files into DCS , hope you Aussies out there like it. Thanks mostly to Aussieboy, well done mate. (Note: In the picture the Rank is stated as Captain, but the Rank being displayed is Flight lieutenant. Will fix as soon as we can, although in reality the RAAF say that a FLT LT is an Army Captain "equivalent" we should avoid comparing "apples and oranges" lol, but if you were to say a Naval Captain was the same as an Army Captain then you might be in the same ball park ^^, i feel some hate coming lol) Edited July 2, 2013 by Strut Regards DL available skins here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=Strut Pictures of my Skins here: https://imgur.com/a/bOQyQqW [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64bit, Intel® Core i7-5820K CPU OC @ 4.50GHz x6, X99A GAMING PRO CARBON, MSI RTX 2080 TI GAMING X TRIO 11Gb, 32GB DDR4 RAM, SSD 960 EVO250GB, SSD 850 EVO 500GB, JetSeat, MFG Crosswind Pedals, VPC Mongoose T-50, TMWH, DSD ButtonBox, Pimax 5k XR/BE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
