PSA: VR-friendly Prop Mod breaks textures

[Nealius]

Just a PSA for other VR fliers using the VR-friendly prop mod.

 

The mod breaks main tire textures, side number and tail number textures, and in the case of the "early" variant, the entire empennage texture.

 

Cause: The texture mod replaces all texture files, some of which have been renamed in subsequent updates, instead of only replacing the prop texture files.

Yeah, ED should really fix the propellers on their end.

It might be possible to extract only the prop textures from the mod .zip and add them to the new textures zip, but yeah...I'm tired of IC-breaking mods that fix simple ED issues.

I could no longer withstand the annoying prop effect.  So I went ahead and updated a personal version of this mod.   I made a copy of the existing DCS P-47 data from the coremods & textures.  Made a copy of anything that looked like a prop file from the original VR friendly mod, and copied them into a new P-47 texture zip...   Via the magic of JSGME, it's working fine.  Much better to fly the Jug now, and no issues with any of the other textures...

 

I spend 99% of my time flying SP, so no idea as of yet if I'd have impact via MP.

I haven't tried the latest OB yet, but during the last build version the default prop in VR was perfect and there was no need for any mods.
