joojoo Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 hey to all I struggle to handle some mods that I want to enter in DCS I tried both via JGSME OVGME and manually to enter the Spruance and Arleigh Burke Class Ships but the ships are invisible as you can see in the photos that I attach. Any idea? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid18120 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The object is definitively there, so it's probably just a matter of folder structures being changed with later patches. Check the folders inside a default ship and replicate the same structure on the mods, should suffice.

Rudel_chw Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Many Mods were made obsolete by version 2.5.5 of DCS, because it requires newer versions of 3D-shape files. When you try to use one of these Mods its shapes cant be loaded and thus it cant be seen. The only fix is that the Mod author has to update the Mod, but many authors are not active any longer and thus the Mod cant be used anymore. the User Files section is not curated and so it contains a lot of Mods that cant work on the current version of DCS, when I detect an obsolete Mod, I try to leave a comment on the file entry to warn future users.

Habu_69 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 DCS by default retains 2 main logs in its folder. The most recent mission log is dcs. The second most recent is dcs.log.old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Dear Rudel is that applies with these two ships? many thanks I think it applies to these ships The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
