FSX@War team & project, will "officialy" support FSX Weapon by CS, amongst other
weapon solutions.
Testing of CS Weapons in FSX@War goes very well with great results, as you may see
at the video below :

Hi everyone,

For those who nerver heard of FSX@War, it is free addon which is  yet in development and which will basically turn your sim (FSX, FSX SE or P3D) into a battlefield.

The main features are:

- A theatre, Lybia, enriched with nearly 70 strategic sites (refineries, air bases, chemical plants, factories, ...)

- A campaign of 25 missions based on operation Unified Protector that you will be able to fly in SP or in MP.

- Realistic effects of destruction (visually and physically) depending on the weapon, the target and the point of impact.

- Different object aspects: operationnal, damaged and destroyed.

- AI aircrafts that will fly over Libya.

- A briefing/logbook/debriefing interface that will record your mission and help you to understand what happened.

- Tools to build your own theatre and/or campaign.

One of our objective is also to unify the different weapon systems around a single platform. Therefore you will be able to use CS Weapons pack as well as other other and Milviz F-15E (and maybe vACMI). You will also be able to fly in MP with different weapon systems: the first player could fly in a F/A-18E using other, the second one could use a F/A-18A and CS Weapons Pack and the last one Milviz F-15E and they could fly a mission and destroy a refinery together.

other is the first weapon system we supported, now CS Weapons Pack is officially supported and I am currently working on supporting Milviz F-15E. I may add support for v ACMI as well but it mostly depend on user requests.
The following CS weapons are now implemented:

AGM-114K
AGM-65E
AGM-84E
AGM-88C
CBU-59
CBU-72
CBU-87
CBU-97
GBU-10
GBU-12 
GBU-16 
GBU-31
GBU-32
Hydra-70
M60C
M61Vulcan
MK-82
MK-83 
MK-84
Zuni-127

If you would like FSX@War to support other weapons you can write it in this thread. I am also looking for reliable data, especially on british and russian weapons.

We already release "CCP" (Convoy and Carrier Planner) which is a kind of preview of FSX@War: using it you will be able to spawn ground convoys following or not FSX roads, boats, carriers, airplanes, other SAM sites,other tankers and other cariers.

You can find further informations regarding FSX@War or download CCP on our website or our forum. Unfortunately I am not allowed to write URL nor to put images on this forum... due to anti-spam system maybe?

Sorry for all my english mistakes, FSX@War is mostly a French -speaking team.

Greetings!  ;)

Another demo video recorded in Slew mode for better & easier
demonstrating the effect of CS Weapons inside FSX@War (Vulcan, Zuni Rockets, AGMs) :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_No7L0D9hg

CS Weapons have realistic (according to RL data) effects upon the targets they impact (depending of type of weapon, type of target and impact distance as mentioned).
Overall a realistic & challenging experience for the v-pilot using this weapon addon.

According to FSX@War team, if things go as scheduled, FSX@War may be a Christmas gift...  8-)

This looking good, I am liking the effects and smoking debris. Looking forward to it being released.

CS Weapons in Action within FSX@War : Tornado GR4 (modded)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiaiB9CUJOA

Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

Small question. I noticed that at one stage the bombs were above the Tornado (from 1:05 minutes to 1:10 minutes in the video). Is that a fault with dropping bombs in CS Weapon for FSX? Or something else?

These were not free falling bombs but laser guided. So they follow their own path to the target.

Okay. Sorry about that, I just assumed they were dumb bombs that were dropped on the target and not guided (smart) bombs. :o

Hi everyone

For those who are using CCP (or waiting for FSX@War release  ;) ) we released today the version 1.3.2.8 of CCP.
Unfortunately, I can't post link in this forum but search for fsxwar.com if you want to download it.


CCP is an add-on that spawns ground convoys (tanks, trucks, infantry vehicles, ...) that follow or not roads, boats, airplanes or invisible targets to use with photoreal sceneries where you want in FSX, FSX SE and P3D. All of these are SimObject so that they are destroyable with other weapons or CS Weapon Pack and CCP provides many ground vehicles (such as T-72, BMP-2, BTR-60, Ural trucks, M109, ...).
CCP also enables you to create .tps file (other scenario) that spawn tankers, SAM sites, carrier, drone or airplanes. All of these features are synchronized in MP so that you can use CCP in MP session to spawn targets.

Please find all details on our website or our forum for tutorials, shared missions, support, ...


Also, Blue made two excellent tutorials about CCP. (Search CCP 1.3.2.8 on youtube)

Special thanks go to Motus who is the main coder of CCP and who did an excellent work.

Great vids Chris P, have not seen the Apache ones yet with CS Weps. Those are the ones I am interested in as the armed helos do not normally get any "love" in this new realm of bring FSX into the combat sim world. I have both payware AH-64 models (Virt/Area51) and have basic CS panels in them so far.

Yes. The great thing is that CS Weapons & other weapon addons do the same damage inside FSX@War to the same targets.
That means "unification" through the various weapon addons inside FSX@War.
Purpose is in MP the ability of people flying together using different weapon solutions but having the same results...
Of course for CS Weapons, invisible targets has also to be spawned for the weapons to lock upon. For unguided weapons no need.
Another issue is that CS Weapons can destroy (remove from scene) only simobjects of the "Aircraft" type. Vehicles spawned with CCP are immobilized but not removed from scene (cause they are of the "vehicle" type).

Nice project! Good luck to you and team.

Hi,

Thank you for your comment. I'm happy if CCP is useful for simmers.

I will have a look if I can add interaction between CS Weapons and CCP.

Motus

FSX@War is available for free right now! A compatibility Pack to use CSWeapons in FSX@War environment is also available.

You will find more details on our forum or on our facebook page.
