I cannot get any of your flyable mods to work

 

The flyables make use of ED's P-51D Mustang, which you must own ..

and not only that, they don't install at /Saved Games/ .. they have to be installed on your DCS program folder (usually at C:/Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS )

Thanks Rudel, but I don't have that folder on my C Drive.

My DCS is on a dedicated drive.  DCS World (G:)\DCS.OpenBeta 

What do I do from here?

P.S.  I have had the P-51 D for ages.

DCS uses two main folders, on one you have the DCS program files, and on the other you have the User files (system configuration, liveries, missions, user mods, etc), this latter is usually at /Saved Games/

Eric & Patrick's flyable Mod have to go on the DCS program folder, wherever you may have placed it. Each aircraft will store files on the following DCS program sub-folders: Bazar, CoreMods, MissionEditor and Mods. The flyables are already on a JSGME format, it should not be giving trouble, what is the exact error that you are getting?

 

[rayrayblues]

@Rudel_chw

No error, just doesn't show in ME.

It's like it's just not there.

Question:  where exactly should I install JSGME? In the main folder?

I tried that already and it still didn't work.

Sorry, can't help you with that, as I haven't used JSGME in years, as I moved to the more modern OvGME Mod Manager, which is also currently obsolete, as its author developed a newer alternative.

As I'm a firm believer in not fixing what is not broken, I opted to keep using the older OvGME, as it was easier to use (in my opinion, of course).

Thanks anyway. I don't have any "Program Files" or even an Eagle Dynamics folder on either drive, just what you see on the picture I sent.

If I open it I get this:

I do not use JSGME but OVGME

I put the three folders separately with my other mods in a folder called 'Archives' in \Saved Games\

Here is my config

The three mods appear in the main window, here I activated the 'Hurricane' :

It works perfectly so

[rayrayblues]

@Tanuki44

 I'll give it a try, although, as I mentioned above, I don't have an "Eagle Dynamics" folder, just (G:)DCS.OpenBeta

Where do I install OvGME?

Hi,

Yes, that's the DCS Program Folder ... the _backup folders can be deleted to recover space, they are leftovers from the DCS_Updater Repair procedures.

Mine looks like this:

 

 

This user Mods aircraft will store files on the sub-folders: Bazar, CoreMods, MissionEditor and Mods, that you can see on the image. In theory, you could just copy the Mod's files ... but that would mean that you lose the P-51D, that's why you have to use a Mod Manager, so that you can enable/disable the user Mod whenever you want.

I just tried it, and it works fine on my DCS 2.7:

 

 

 

Best regards,

 

Eduardo

OVGME is a Windows program, it settles like any soft

It does not matter if your path is different, point right on yours.

When installed in the MAIN DCS folder as instructed,

It should NOT disable the P-51.

 

That is the beauty of their solution!

 

I can have both active in the same mission. What you can not do is install more that one modded aircraft at a time.

They WILL conflict with each other.

Hope this helps!

Hello Hawkeye 

 

This is news to me, they should update the Mod's Readme, as it currently says:

 

"In addition to the AI Pack, you will find 3 FLYABLES PLANES with the cockpit and the avionics of the P-51 these are to be installed with the JSGME and to be used only individually, in summary you should only use them one by one in the JSGME , Its very important  !!!!
As it replaces the P-51D you could not pilot this one (as long as the mod is activated in the JSGME), but you will find it in the AI Pack.
Golden rule to always respect, deactivate JSGME mods before updates."

 

Otherwise, a very nice Mod 

[Hawkeye60]

Try it.

I will as well right now. Back after a quick flight!

[Tanuki44]

Not at home, as stated in the first post,

<<In addition to the AI Pack, you will find 3 FLYABLES PLANES with the cockpit and the avionics of the P-51 these are to be installed with the JSGME and to be used only individually, in summary you should only use them one by one in the JSGME , Its very important  !!!!

only their mod F4U can be used at the same time as the P-51D

The three mods HURRICANE, DEWOITINE and STUKA deactivate the P-51D ...

At the very same time. But the ED carrier mod does not seen to work with the mod installed.

I used to be able to spawn both on a carrier at the same time.

Needs investigating.

There is no reason for this. All should  work if used one at a time.

I will look asap.

[rayrayblues]

Thanks guys, I will give it a try as soon as I'm done cooking.  Don't want to burn anything. 

[Tanuki44]

Yet the structure of the folders of the mod F4U (use folders of the TF51 and P-51D) and the mod folder HURRICANE, DEWOITINE et STUKA is different.

 

and with one of the three mods the P51-D in yellow (flyable) does not appear...

It is possible to make them appear at the same time, one as static, one flyable, but can not activate them as a client.

@Hawkeye60

Your screenshots show the F4U and the P-51D ?

Can you try with one of the 3 mods of the pack "ai-1940-battle-of-britain-with-3-flyable-planes" ?

 

[rayrayblues]

Nice! Working now. Thanks for all of your help. You guys are awesome. 

[marcost]

Old thread I know, but i'm enjoying this mod - thank you. I noticed that the AI aircraft sometimes when hit but not destroyed, just go inverted and fly in a stright line. Is this a known bug?

Thanks,

Same, trying to use the AI He-111, can place it in the mission editor, can arm it, model is in the arming window looking good. Start the mission but no HE-111 present.

The Hurricane, P-51, FU4, seem to work

+1 ..  I confirm this issue ... on the Log I get these messages:

 

ERROR   WORLDGENERAL (Main): Error: Unit [AI_AXES_HE_111]: Failed to find shape "AI_AXES_HE_111_x-ray".
ERROR   APP (Main): Error: Unit [AI_AXES_HE_111]: Corrupt damage model.
ERROR   APP (Main): Invalid Unit Module: "AI_AXES_HE_111"

 

Hopefully, @Patrick56 can take a look and fix this, as I use this AI on several of my I.16 missions

It is now the end of March and the German planes are still not there.

They show in the mission editor, but not in game.

Only the German Mods are missing, (He-111, Ju-188 and the Ju-87 Stuka) all others are still there. I was flying the F4U earlier today.
