berk.kp Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I am unable to remove/add the exhaust IR-shield using the tickbox option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I can confirm. I am having this issue as well, but it seems to only affect the military variants. Civil variants do not have exhaust shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizzy Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 There is no problem with the IR shields that I can see. With the correct skin they can be added or removed with the ME and in game display fine. Some skins are not made correctly for IR Shield use...

Nealius Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Which version of DCS are you running at the moment, Gizzy? I'm still on 22877, trying to avoid bugs introduced since then, and my ME IR shield settings do not work with liveries that did work in the past.

Eight Ball Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) you can add this to the description.lua of a livery to force them off custom_args = { [457] = 0.1, -- EVU off } Edited November 13, 2018 by Eight Ball Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) EDIT: Hmm, something is bizarre here. Skins with the EVUs forced off have the argument [457] = 0.0, and they seem to work fine. 1.0 appears to permanently enable the EVUs. Now on some skins, 1.0 (or 0.1) will permanently disable the EVUs, but if you have EVUs deselected in the ME, this happens: Now if I enable the EVUs in the ME, the spinning rotor effect disappears and I get to keep the EVUs off. I wonder what got messed up in the .lua logic? Edited November 13, 2018 by Nealius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulredrel Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Sorry for digging this up again but noticed this again with current stable 2.5.5. Are many default skins affected where I can't use the mission editor option? Are the following assumptions correct if used in the livery lua file? force EVU on custom_args = { [457] = 0.0, -- force EVU off } force EVU off custom_args = { [457] = 1.0, -- force EVU on } enable ME option to have effect --custom_args = --{ --[457] = 1.0, -- force EVU on --} Thanks Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
