Couple graphical issues: no jester picture and missions show A4

[Uxi]

Couple graphical issues I've been noticing. Unlike videos I see, I have no picture of Jester in his menu (it's blank). Same with Iceman. Everything else seems to work.

 

Secondly, when all my missions launch, I see a picture of the community A-4 and not the F-14. Hornet missions show the F/A-18C... I had the A-4 installed first if that matters.

 

Anyone see these?

1. Look into options > special > F-14 - there should be option to see the crew member render in the menu.

2. A-4 installation probably changed default loading screen.

1) "Jester menu camera" was checked. Unchecked, did a mission, no change, checked again did a mission, no change.

 

2) Hmm, well I installed that first. I guess I could take it out of the folder but why would the F-14 be affected and not the F-18?

1. Delete fxo & metashader folders from \saved games\dcs\ and try. Then try running without mods. Then try to do DCS clean and repair. Then redownload F-14 module.

 

2) Hmm, well I installed that first. I guess I could take it out of the folder but why would the F-14 be affected and not the F-18?

2. Probably because F-18 doesn't use default loading screen. Actually there are two of them. One is general DCS screen with clouds then it changes to another screen for the module if one exists. I have yet to find a way to work that out with Tomcat. For now it's either default (my FC3 aircraft has proper loading screens, Tomcat only clounds) or custom/Tomcat theme (all aircraft has the custom/Tomcat loading screens) - not acceptable :)

1) If you are playing in VR, the jester image is disabled. I see the Odyssey in your sig. If you are in TrackIR, that's is a whole different issue then.

 

2) That is a common issue with the A-4 mod. It supersedes some aircraft images.

Yes, am using VR so that answers it, thanks.

 

Any fix for the A4 picture? I like flying the little guy so can live with it.

 

Neither of these were deal breakers, really more oddities.

You can try and rename the file loading-windows.png somewhere in the A-4 folder to *.bak. That way you won't see the A-4 picture but other modules won't be affected (default).
