Turbine 205

@Admiral189 Thanks for the response. I've attached my copy of updated textures to the Mercy class. It's not perfect, but it removes that graininess I was seeing. And by no means am I implying the textures were or are bad. If it sounded that way I do apologize. What my original goal was was to take the graininess out, and then also implement the rest of the deck area that appears to be missing when I compare the models in MV2 vs. photographs. Texturing is also new to me too. I'm an engineer by day, so this is well outside my comfort, ha comfort, zone. Mercy_textures.zip

@Admiral189, Sorry I am just getting around to this to respond. Yes this did solve my issue. Thank you. Along the same lines for the Mercy class, I was looking into the textures and they seem very grainy to me. Have you looked at rebuilding them? If not I've taken a stab at them and I'd be happy to share the updates I did to the texture pack. Get's rid of the graininess I see in the crosses, but it doesn't have any effects or highlights, like rust, etc.

@Marroux, thank you kindly for this. I also worked on a new livery textures for them. Were you able to extract UV layers for each of the maps?

@Admiral189, Love the ship mods so far. I'm using the latest copy of the USNS mercy class ships, but I am getting the following errors: 2024-03-08 01:10:35.908 ALERT Scripting (Main): loadfile: can't open 'D:\Users\XXXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods/tech/USNS_Mercy_Class/MercyRunwaysAndRoutes.lua' 2024-03-08 01:10:35.909 ALERT Scripting (Main): loadfile: can't open 'D:\Users\XXXX\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods/tech/USNS_Mercy_Class/ComfortRunwaysAndRoutes.lua' Looking in the pack it looks like those lua files are missing. Tried looking through the forum page, but couldn't find if there was a lua file posted somewhere.

Hey @Wdigman, if you're inclined to use mods, there is a PDL mod to make the lights a little more visible. Worked very well for me to AAR at night in the 16.

@Nightstorm, Great mod. Thank you for doing this. I tried running this mod the other day and I couldn't get the IDF, SUFA, HDS ones to show up on the Hornet's RWR. They just showed as <U>. Have you looked at this since the 2.9.3.51704 release?

@Nightstorm, Do you have a separate Forum thread for your RWR mod? I'm having some issues getting it to work with some of the more common mods I run, Like A-4, Superbug, etc.

Hi @bandit648, Does this mod need to be loaded in both a client and server for running on a dedicated server?

@ouky1991, Thanks for the reply. Yes my group is using OvGME for maintaining a mod repository. I've just been used to these type of mods being placed in the root game folder instead of saved games. Thanks for the reply.

@ouky1991, these are great mods. I'm just trying to confirm. Do these get installed under the saved games folder or to the root game folder?

Hi Flappie. We are using some of those dark skin mods for our dedicated server and are seeing the same issue. The liveries for the carrier and LHA won't show up in Multiplayer but are visible in Singleplayer

We are experiencing a similar issue on our vCSG-3 servers. Server runs, but after people disconnect the server crashes. 2023-03-26 21:54:28.173 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [KC130]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:54:28.427 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [E-3A]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:54:28.719 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [KC135MPRS]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:54:57.327 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [S-3B]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:54:57.338 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [E-3A]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:54:57.350 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [RC135RJ]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:54:57.369 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [KC135MPRS]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:55:27.332 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [S-3B]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:55:27.344 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [KC135MPRS]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:55:27.369 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [E-3A]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:55:57.332 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [E-2C]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:55:57.342 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [KC135MPRS]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:56:27.330 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [KC135MPRS]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-03-26 21:56:57.331 ERROR APP (3340): Error: Unit [EC130]: Corrupt damage model.

We are experiencing the same issue on our squadron and wing servers. The liveries show up just fine in the mission editor and when we run the missions in single player mode. Something is causing the liveries to not load in the server. We've also confirmed we have the liveries loaded onto the server. DCS.log doesn't show any particular error regarding them.

@MAXsenna I seem to be in the ever increasing group of people in the update loop. Do you have the latest updates you could share with us?

Hello, I've currently have my saved games folder mapped to D:\users\[my username]\Saved Games\. I recently had to reset the lua code in Vaicompro for a random issue, will like below. Afterwards I noticed that instead of the extra files Vaicom needs to interface sitting on the D drive its now sitting back on C:\user\[my username]\Save Games\. Am I missing something or could there be a registry error with Vaicom? For reference I use the location tab to move the Saved Games folder over to the D drive back when I installed the OS late last year. Here is the link to the previous issue I was having:

Hey @sthompson, Thank you for letting me know. I will post there. I had actually setup placement of my Saved Games folder back when I reformatted the PC back last year. And I had used the location tab when I placed the saved games. I'm wondering if this is another broken registry with Vaicom again. It is the only set of folders in the saved games folder on the C:\ drive

@MAXsenna Thank you from before for the help you provided. I had a question. I currently have my Saved Games folder sitting in D:\Users\[my username\Saved Games. When I logged on the other day I noticed that I also have a saved games folder sitting under C:\Users\[my username\. When I check in that folder the only thing there is all the vaicom scripts in the mods and tech folder. Thinking this was just an erroneous set of files I deleted them from the C drive. And of course now Vaicom doesn't connect to DCS. So in short something with Vaicom is pointing all the script files in the Saved Games folder to the C drive instead of the D drive where my actual Saved Games folder is at. Is there a way to fix this? I keep Saved games on my D drive for easy backup in case I need to reinstall windows. Thank you again for your help.

@MAXsenna Thank you for the help on that. I was able to get it to work. Must've been something with the Lua code. I backed it all up and performed the keywords reset in the reset tab. That didn't solve it so I did a lua code reset. That did the trick. Thank you @maxsenna and @sthompson for the help.

@MAXsenna Thanks for taking a look. I do apologize I've not delved enough into the Viacom setup and the manual. How do I go about resetting the database?

As an update, I imported into VA the original ViacomPro profile without any edits by me. I am still seeing the exact same issue on this profile, so its definitely something location to Viacom. I'm going to play around with resetting the keyword data base and retry.

Hi again. No its just this single issue I'm having. I'm not currently experiencing the problem two that you describe. That I know how to fix with the registry. I've only called it out because others have said to use that which clearly is not the issues. In terms of the actual problem, yes I'm using the same profile as others within my squadron. In fact I wrote some of the additional command scripts to add some additional features to control non Viacom specific tasks, like setting up DDI's the way I want them, configuring for different A/A and A/G modes. All of which I checked against the keywords in the keywords command of the VA profile to ensure that I wasn't stepping over.

@Maxsenna Could you check out this forum post. I cannot figure out what is going on. Others in my squadron are running the same profile as me and are not having this issue. Thanks.

@sthompson Yes I've used the fix registry before for the constant popping up/off of the comms menu issue. That is not the source of my problem. For some clarity, we are using the standard F10 menu for our missions. I can pertest that there are others within my squadron that use VoiceAttack and they have no issues on the server I fly on.

Hello fellow VaicomPro users. I've recently started having issues with Vaicom not executing commands in the F10 menu. Below is a copy of the VA log. Any help is greatly appreciated. For reference this is happening on multiple servers I play on. I've not tried it out yet on single player missions. I also have my dcs path manually set in the config options as I've seen not having set causes the memu to keep popping up randomly in DCS. 12:00:21.769 There was a problem importing the F10 menu. 12:00:15.851 There was a problem importing the F10 menu. 12:00:09.768 There was a problem importing the F10 menu. 12:00:03.741 There was a problem importing the F10 menu. 11:59:57.959 There was a problem importing the F10 menu. 11:59:57.931 Chatter theme init: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 11:59:57.929 Adding themepack collections 11:59:57.888 Nearest ATC: Anapa-Vityazevo. 11:59:57.887 Player CSG-3 | Turbine | 205 entered module FA-18C Hornet, unit callsign Colt11 11:59:57.886 Resetting selected units. 11:59:57.882 DCS mission | Ca_DTE Night v7.2 11:59:57.881 ------------------------------------------ 11:55:27.536 Plugin 'VAICOM PRO for DCS World' initialized. 11:55:27.524 Ready for commands. 11:55:27.523 Startup finished. 11:55:27.487 Listening suspended 11:55:27.407 Chatter theme init: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 11:55:27.405 Adding themepack collections 11:55:27.395 No new DCS modules to import. 11:55:27.393 Success. 11:55:27.393 Building master labels table... 11:55:27.388 Object reference not set to an instance of an object./n at VAICOM.Database.Aliases.BuildKneeboardAliasList() 11:55:27.382 Building kneeboard tables... 11:55:27.378 Building master keywords table... 11:55:27.377 Adding 0 imported menu commands. 11:55:27.375 Adding 0 imported ATC aliases. 11:55:27.372 Done. 11:55:27.371 Updating aliases.. 11:55:27.369 Success. 11:55:27.362 Loading F10 menu items... 11:55:27.360 Success. 11:55:27.115 Loading keywords database... 11:55:27.093 Done. 11:55:27.063 Initializing database tables... 11:55:27.060 Done. 11:55:27.058 Importing RIO extension pack... 11:55:27.006 Checking VA profile. 11:55:26.885 DCS World version STEAM not found. 11:55:26.855 6/7 DCS-side files were updated. 11:55:26.842 Reset: gameMessages.lua 11:55:26.839 Reset: TabSheetBar.lua 11:55:26.837 Reset: common.lua 11:55:26.834 Reset: speech.lua 11:55:26.832 Reset: RadioCommandDialogsPanel.lua 11:55:26.830 Reset: VAICOMPRO.export.lua 11:55:26.827 Unchanged: Export.lua 11:55:26.826 Saved Games folder = D:\Users\Roger J Howland\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta 11:55:26.822 Install path = C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta 11:55:26.822 Using custom install path for 2.5 OpenBeta 11:55:26.821 DCS World version 2.5 not found. 11:55:26.797 Executing automatic lua code installation. 11:55:26.560 License: PRO 11:55:26.559 Plugin version 2.5.27.3 (release) 11:55:26.174 Initializing.. 11:55:26.174 Press LCtrl+LAlt+C for config. 11:55:26.174 VAICOM PRO for DCS World.

@scampaboy Are you referring to the icue software? I haven't figured out how to control the fans or lighting from the MB. @Flappie doing what you said seems to have fixed the problem. I didn't see any major studders like i saw. however I'd like to explore why I'm seeing the disconnects.
