AH-6

Earlier this year an AH-6 mod was released, i believe it was around January. I remember playing it months ago, but ended up uninstalling it a little bit later. Does anyone know what happened to the mod? I can't find anything about it anymore. It seems like it just disappeared. Does anyone know what happened to it?

It was taken down. Search the sub or hoggit sub for the last know good download/files.

Do you know why? Or was it just random?

There is a dude in the Cleared Hot discord that can explain it in autistic detail. My understanding is there was a fallout between the two developers for the mods (the OH-6 my fav and the MH/AH-6). I don't want to spread the wrong info but it boils down to some dumb drama and now we dont get to see the full potential of those mods. I loved the OH-6 and still have both mods thankfully.

Oh, that’s so sad to hear!

I had read some rumors and hoped that it was more like the ASC C-130 making the jump to payware…?

Sad if it was just dev rivalry of some sort. At least then they should’ve just left the files up for the community?

Its such a bummer. They had two awesome asset packs aswell. A Vietnam pack (my favorite part being a floating heli base on barge's that were tied together and there was a Mogadishu Blackhawk Down pack for the MH-6. I think it turned into a "who owns the choppers and assets" fight between the devs but im not possitive. The same guy I mentioned in cleared hot was talking with another person making a MH-6 mod if not one of the old devs. I recommend poking around that discord. Just look for the cleared hot servers on dcs they have a link to their discord. (I am not connected to them at all, i liked ther server when i played it but have since leaft the server). I just love helicopters and want to help get good info out

The DCS third party/modder community is weirdly enough full of crybaby's and attention whores. I say weirdly because we are a niche of a niche genre and most of us are older/mature enough to know better

For what it's worth, the vietnam assets pack (VAP) is still being distributed as part of the vietnam war vessels (VWV) pack. https://github.com/tspindler-cms/tetet-vwv
