VPC-airfield Equipment 0.9.4 beta

Hello pilots, I have a simple question for you.... does the mod in the title works also for DCS World 2.5 or fits for 1.5 version only?

Yes, it works, but you need to apply also this patch to make it fully compatible with 2.5.5

Thanks, I will try it out ASAP. :thumbup:

Wow, that is really nice! Thank's so much for making it possible!

But there's one question that I have:

How do I install the mod correctly?

I saved in the path G/DCS openbeta/MODS... But at no avail. No structures show up in the ME.

Could anyone provide me the correct installation path?

Thanks in advance and kindest regards!

Although i downloaded this Patch my Man idle 1,2, and 3 wont show up/work. The remaining objects work (not the lights etc).

Take care and thank you for this mod. Use it since ever.

Strange ... they do show up on my case.

Regarding the lights, see this post: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3963657&postcount=322

You´re right, i´m sorry. Cheers to @voc

Thank you for your reply and help! :)

Did anyone notice a slowdown in fps using that scenario? I don't know exactly if my PC was doing some antivirus s**t or some other stuff in background at that moment but every mouse move in an outside selected view showed me a black screen for a couple of secs.

I normally have not those kind of problems with 16gb RAM. I play around 75 fps in a single player game.

Did anyone notice a slowdown in fps using that scenario? ...

Attach the mission to give it a try .. I’ve a middle-level PC and I can run missions with 1500 units & statics with no problem, over that amount It does fell more sluggish, tough never to the point of having black screen

thank you very much

thanks a lot for the link, I was so desapointed that there were no textures anymore on this amazing mod objects since last months 

So I loaded up a mission in 2.7 with some of the VPC equipment in it and was getting a DX11Renderer Error as follows: Shader "model/fake_omni_lights.fx" failed to compile - HRESULT: ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND. Seemed to be for lighting tower/fire house etc. So I did some digging into bazar/shaders/model and sure enough there is no longer a file called "fake_omni_lights.fx"...however there is a file called "fake_omni_lights2.fx". I made a copy (DO NOT DELETE fake_omni_lights2...other things need it) and dropped the 2 and hey presto, it all works again and no longer puts up an error.

Quickly made a OvGME for it so I don't have to copy and edit every patch update. Hope this help out someone if they run into the same error.

And they actually light up now, which I've not seen happen before. Makes a great change to airfields at night!!

Great find! .. When DCS 2.5.6 came out I had to disable the lighting from the Mod, as it crashed DCS .. I just enabled it back and it works now, tough the light-on times seems to have changed.

I will update my download link soon, after a bit of testing

Hello,

OK, here is an updated version of this great Mod created by @voc It now consists of two parts:

1) The Mod itself goes onto the /Saved Games/DCS/ path, this is the download link:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai6cuX3YQI26h9JE4RY9YQlWXv9SRw?e=8eaIZo

It is in OvGME ziped format, so if you already use this Mod Manager to install your Mods, you will just need to place it on the same repository as your other Mods:

2) DCS 2.8 does not need anything else, but In order for the Mod to work on the older DCS 2.7 (and 2.5.6), it requires the addition of two small files on the /Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/ path. Download this fix from this link:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai6cuX3YQI26h9JDq-My2YN2UBxBCw?e=SYjG3G

Again, it is on OvGME format. Please take note that this Mod does not go into /Saved Games/, it must go on the DCS Program path:

I tested it on several of my missions and I didn't found any error, nor any error messages on the dcs.log

I have not tested it fully, but the lights turn on at around 21:10 and off at 5:50 on Caucasus. Have not tested other maps yet.

Best regards,

Eduardo

Thanks again Eduardo! grate mod working again!

Thanks Eduardo for links and info
