Hi guys! Sorry to go back to English. I noticed today that DCS Liberation removed support for the Rafale: Do you know why they did this?

Quick update just to say this works great! Definitely an upgrade to the kegetys version, I love the clear water, I really noticed it flying along the Normandy beaches. Beautiful!

Hi there! I just installed this using OVGME. Everything seems to have worked, no crashes on start up, and pressing the home/end keys give the expected result. One big problem though: I can only see the effect on my monitor/mirror, and not in my VR headset (Quest 2 over link). Does anyone happen to have any suggestions as to why this might be? Thanks! Edit: Found a dxgi log file, thought I'd attach it here in case it helps. In my completely uneducated opinion, it seems to look ok. No errors... dxgi.log

Hi! First of all, thanks for doing this work you guys! I just want to double check something. I currently have the latest 2.7 version of the kegetys mod installed. If I want to use the shader on this thread, do I need to disable the kegetys version first? Also, can I use this in conjunction with the reshader mod described in this thread: Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response you guys! I am using OVGME so yes it's easy to switch. Well, other than the wait for the shaders to recompile!

The fact is, I just got this plane a few days ago, so I'm still a total noob. I still just spend most of my time flying around gawking at this beautiful plane! The only other modules I own are FC3 and the Ka-50, so I haven't learned PTT yet. Can you point me to a good resource for beginners maybe? Thanks!

For me, I noticed it happen to a Dora as well while I was watching it in F2 view. Haven't had it happen on the Spitfire yet. Given it's happening to multiple planes, I'm guessing it's a DCS thing as opposed to a Spitfire thing.

For me on 2.7 the comms menu works in the air. I need to make sure I'm on the same radio channel, but other than that it works fine. I can issue orders to wingmen at least, haven't tried ATC. Using "non game" (i.e. sim) mode.

Try setting your vsync to fast in the Nvidia control panel. This made a big difference for me in terms of smoothness. Won't help with clouds or water though!

Hi there! Sorry for the noob question. I bought the Spitfire a few days ago, and a few hours ago I decided to buy the Normandy map. The thing is, in both cases, I already had the files on my computer because when I downloaded 2.7, I said yes to the "download all modules" question (I didn't understand what I was being asked, figured yes was the safe answer. 147 GB later...). So when I downloaded the files, I didn't "own" them, but they were put there on my computer. Anyways, now that I own both, do I need to do a repair to get things properly synced? Will the Normandy based missions that are normally included with the Spitfire be there? Ie will each of them "know" that the other exists? Thanks, and sorry again if this is a dummy question, I'm still pretty new to things here!

Wow right you are, it's been released! Thanks!

Are you able to use the 2.5.6 shader mod with 2.7?

Hi I've just discovered this and read through the thread. There are a lot of links in a lot of posts so I'm not sure where to start. As someone who has not installed anything yet, what link do I need to follow to start from scratch, in order to get the F22 itself as well as the Liveries described in this thread? As a suggestion, would it be possible to maintain the original first post with the most recent links? At the moment I see only a link to the Grinnelli F22, but all the other links are to Dropbox, so I don't think they are the same thing. Or am I wrong about that? Thanks and sorry if I'm being thick.

Well I figured it out. In the mission editor, all I needed to do was select the first waypoint, select advanced, and then delete the EPLRS reference. After this, I am able to fly my Rafale in Liberation with no errors! Now if only I could get the thing to lock on ships!

Hi folks, I have a new question regarding using the Rafale in DCS Liberation. I was really sad to find that when I tried to use it in DCS Liberation games, I got an error that said the Rafale has no EPLRS, and that there was another error regarding the first waypoint. Is there any way around this? I read the DCS manual about what EPLRS is and what it used for, and it doesn't sound like something I would need in the missions I'm flying with the Rafale. I would really like to be able to use the Rafale in Liberation. Thanks!

Ah ok, so it wasn't you that locked on and sunk the ships, it was your AI wingmen? This has been my experience too, things work for the AI, so there must be a way to do it, these things just don't work for me (or more likely, I haven't figured out how to do them yet!). Hi Sushy, thanks for the reply. By any chance would it be easy for you to capture a video of how you locked up the ships with the Exocet or scalp? Again, I followed exactly the steps in the armaments readme file, including the launch override, but it won't lock. Thank you!

Thanks for the replies to my post you guys. So you managed to eventually get the missiles to lock on the ship's radar signatures? Your post from about this time yesterday said you were also unable to lock the ships. Can I ask what you did differently to get it to work? Thanks again!

Hi there, I was hoping you might be able to help, I am having difficulty locking ship targets with the Rafale. I followed exactly the instructions in the armaments text document that comes with the mod. I am able to lock on to ground radar targets and launch the scalp and AGM88 no problem, but with ships, it will not work no matter what I try. The ships are all frigates, with radar. I can put the reticle over the diamond, but when I hit enter or lock surface target, nothing happens. Again, same procedure works perfectly fine for ground targets, but not ships. What's interesting is that the same is true for optical weapons like the AS30 and GBUs. I cannot lock these onto ships either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Salut les freres! I just wanted to say how incredible this plane is and how much fun I've had flying it over the last week or two since I discovered it! It is a pure joy to fly, so often I finish a mission with a giant grin on my face! I have modified most of the "stock" FA-18C missions to use the Rafale instead, it is super fun, especially the river run! Anyways, I am still learning, I just finished reading all 14 pages of this thread, and now that I know that there is a manual, I will be reading that next! Merci tres bien pour tous le travail que vous avez faites avec cette avion. Je veux vous remercier seulement en Francais, mais je suis debutant et tres lentement Thank you again, I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Wow, this is fantastic, thank you so much! You helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. I set mine up for the main DCS World folder, which I guess works properly for purchased modules, but I will need to create another profile that points to the saved games folder for the VSN and other community aircraft. Once again, thank you so much, I know exactly what to do now!

Hi there! I was just wondering if anyone is using OVGME to manage their mods for the vsn planes. If so, can you describe how you did it? Thanks!

I just wanted to say I am playing these missions on 2.5.6 and they are working fine. Not only fine, but awesome! I'm loving them! The missions are a hoot and the voices are highly entertaining Thank you for making these!

Thank you very much for this. There is certainly more detail there, and I'm kind of embarrassed to say I didn't think to look in the manual! I will try again after work tonight, but IIRC my issue seems to come when attempting to lock. The target mark box does not seem to appear, but maybe I just didn't know what to look for. Like I said, I will try it again and pay closer attention to the symbology mentioned in the manual. For the maverick, I didn't realize the range was so short, so maybe that was the issue there. I will try these again too. I will try to figure out generating a track file this evening and post it here if I still have problems. Also, unless I am mistaken, you are the author of several other tutorials I've been flying, so I would like to say thank you for those! They really helped me a lot too!
