Heres an example, not VFA37 Wings folded (default paint scheme)....yet VFA103 (an add on skin) wings wont fold even though it shows them folded in the mission editor. so its not the plane, its the paint scheme apparently.

ok narrowed it down if this helps as well as attached the log. It it only my Add on paint schemes (I fly with the jolly rogers) and this those the wings will not fold..however, if i use the default paints for the LOT 20 they appear folded. not sure what this means or how to fix it but i sure would like to use my new paints. dcs.log

ok. thanks for the info. I will say though i only have the F18 And Supper carrier modules and the only mods i have are a skin for the f18 and the clean cockpit mod. these however all worked fine. then one day i changed the deck a little (moved a couple of planes) in the editor and now the static F18 Lot 20 wont fold wings..Ive reinstalled everything, NOW im really at a loss...wtf could be doing this its driving me nuts! you can see in the screenshot..the AI aircraft all have wings folded until cat shot, but the static all overlap now..if I choose however the standard F18 then the wings fold. I have reinstalled the F18, no difference.

I guess thats what im asking, what do I check? Just reinstall everything?

is there a reason the FA18 Lot 20 static aircraft wont appear with wings folded on supercarrier even though they are attached to the carrier? started happening out of the blue. have done update and repair..getting frustrated and dont want to have to do an entire reinstall. any help would be VERY much appreciated!

Just performed the latest update and no change..all of the sudden the f18 wings won’t fold

hey guys, just had a problem come out of nowhere on the supercarrier. when placing static FA18's (lot 20) on the deck and attaching them (which should fold the wings) they no longer are folded when i enter the mission. on the mission editor the wings fold the second i attach the plane, but when i actually open the mission, theyre spread out again on ALL of the F-18's. tried making an entirely new mission, still the same thing...has been working fine for days, now...i dunno what happened..anyone seen this issue before?

Man, thank you so much!!!Thats is perfect! just curious, im new to what an argument is and how they work in DCS. Did I misunderstand you in that this can be switched on and off via the comms menu? how exactly does this work, or do I need to exit the mission and select the plane with no covers?

so no way to change the livery of this mod???sorry guys im new and dont even know what in the world an "argument" is...with the exception of being married lol.

ok thats cool, that would work..is there any way i can change the livery to my own? i fly with the VFA103 Livery pictured above..would love this same setup with that livery!!!

Hey guys...just curious, Ive searched all over to no avail and find mixed answers on this topic...How exactly can I get my F18 To display the ladder and covers like this ai aircraft has? I know its built in the model just dont know the command. I hit right alt J but my aircraft just fires up and leaves apparently under ai control. Second question is, in the mission editor how can I select weather it loads the aircraft with wings folded or unfolded? Id like the option to manually set this up for a particular mission?

THAT WAS IT!!! Thank you so much guys...much appreciated!!

ok, I did that to the letter and still, all it shows in dcs is "default". I have followed that to the letter..Im pulling my hair out..

Hey all...Running DCS Open beta and trying to install the clean cockpit mod..followed this guys directions to the letter.. but when I go into DCS Special etc under cockpit I only see default..Sorry guys, Im new to DCS and for the record...I have DCS Installed on an SSD "E" drive but I made the liveries folder on "C/USERS/USERNAME/SAVEDGAMES/DCS.openbeta/LIVERIES/COCKPIT_F-18C/clean pit. First mod ive ever tried to install, I also just for the heck of it, tried to install it in "E" drives Mods folder, doesnt matter where i put it nothing shows up...can someone walk me through this like the newbie i am..any help would be appreciated!

I’d personally like to see some sort of us base either pacific coast or elsewhere that would allow for f18 deployment to the carrier as well as “homecoming” flights after a deployment. I read all the naysaying about this but if it’s touted as a “simulator” they why not simulate every aspect of military flight service..including taking off headed for your carrier. Kinda kills immersion to go from training in Nevada to poooff..your in the Persian gulf on deployment… would be nice if there was some kind of work around to accommodate this
