sidekick65 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Actually, I am planning to make a campaign out of these videos, once I get enough of the missions released. Quick poll. Which ones would you like to see released next? That being said. If anyone would like to help with mission development and testing feel free to message me. Also, if anyone wants some help making their own missions, then message me and I will help or advise if I can. Stay Scooter-Strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHawk1867 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I have figured it out, I think. [update I can fly these mission thru 'Mission' menu in DCS and don' have to go thru 'Mission Editor'.] I have located my files in the following path and created a unique folder 'Skyhawk Bombing Missions (Sidekick)'. It works and I'm excited to start flying them. Thanks for all the work you have put into these missions. :thumbup: Location: Saved Games > DCS > Mods > Aircraft > A-4E-C > Missions > EN > Skyhawk Bombing Missions (Sidekick) Update: Can fly missions thru 'Mission' menu in DCS. -------------------- Hi, I'm new to DCS and training on the Skyhawk.

NightHawk1867 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Is there a simple way to test that I have installed this tech mod properly? Getting stuff properly into the right folders seems to be the hard part. My location: Saved Games > DCS > Mods > Tech > 476 vFG - Air Weapons Range Objects, 14NOV19 But there is a whole list of repetitive folders within the last folder above. Yes, it’s an important omission and I’m sure that Sidekick will amend the mission instructions to mention how to get that Mod. You can download the Mod from this link: http://www.476vfightergroup.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=287 It is a well known mod, but if you are new to DCS then please ask a knowledgeable friend to help you install it.

Rudel_chw Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Is there a simple way to test that I have installed this tech mod properly? Hi, If the Mod has been correctly installed, then you should see this Icon on the DCS Main screen: Also, if you are NOT using the Steam version of DCS, you should be able to see the Mod on the Module Manager screen, like this: Getting stuff properly into the right folders seems to be the hard part. My location: Saved Games > DCS > Mods > Tech > 476 vFG - Air Weapons Range Objects, 14NOV19 But there is a whole list of repetitive folders within the last folder above. All User Mods should go into: Saved Games > DCS > Mods Within this Folder, there should be several folders ... they are meant for different kinds of Mods. - Aircraft Mods go into Saved Games > DCS > Mods > aircraft - Ships and Ground units go into Saved Games > DCS > Mods > tech Inside tech, each Mod goes into its own Folder ... the name of this Folder is irrelevant so I usually rename it to make it shorter or to state who is the author, like this: The main folder of each Mod can be recognized because it should contain a file named "entry.lua", like on the above pic. In order to help you better, please show a screen grab with your current folder structure.

NightHawk1867 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Thanks Rudel for you help. Moved the main folder around and got the big yellow circle up on the main DCS screen like you showed. 1 Canadian . DCS World Open Beta 2.7. Aircraft: Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 K-4 Kurfurst.

HotTom Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Two questions: What ever happened to the Gola Heights series? I was looking forward to trying it.... And, I haven't been able to figure out where (in my files) to put the two third party apps you require for your training missions. I've tried everything I can think of bit your missions refuse to recognize them. A little help, Please? Your Haiphong missions are great! Thanks, HT Edited February 9, 2021 by HotTom Exceptional engineering...and a large hammer to make it fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
