  1. So - i DO NOT have either of those mods even- and do not have that A2A file in duplicate spots- it's only in the Enhancement Mod by Nightstorm and appears when i turn on the mod in OVGME as expected. It's NOT in the Core game mod folder But, i got the enhancement mod working - i REDOWNLOADED the F 22 Enhancement mod, and turned it on, WITH the F 22 and F 15 EX mod on (was about to , for troubleshooting purposes attempt to turn off the F 22 mod and just run Nightstorm's F 22 enhancement mod - but that didn't end up happening- because - ) It works I must not have had the latest version - looks like I literally got the prior version a day before it was last updated, - whoops.
  2. Hi, I'm new to DCS, but have started dabbling into modding I use OVGME so i can turn stuff on and off at will- I do have the grinneli F 22 mod which works - as well as the F 15 EX mod by Spino, v 1.7 I just grabbed and am trying to use the F22 single player enhancement mod- but it makes DCS hang at 45% when i start DCS after enabling it Not sure what's causing it when only the (should be compatible) F 22 and F 15EX mods are active Any advice? I can attach or send a crash log if that helps? I do not have the CFT MOD OR THE CATM WEAPONS MOD installed
  3. Still curious if anyone knows what the best way to work with aircraft not in the predefined tabs , when adding the detent Picking up the very put-together SU-30 mod, and going through this again trying to line up the physical detent , while getting a decently smooth curve
  4. Interesting, because every aircraft mod before this i did install- had the same structure. I...don't think aircraft mods are structured any other way in DCS?? ..Seems the only way around would be to keep making aircraft directories as different target directories, and that's more work than just extracting then dragging....darn
  5. So, hi, i'm a noob- but i'm not sure if OpenMod Manager is for me in DCS? Just downloaded it- My folder structure is pretty standard, my mods are in C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\Aircraft in that Aircraft directory are 2 folders, at the time of this post The F 22 mod and the F15EX folders - each of which has the list of aircraft stuff like cockpit ,effects, Liveries, etc Anyway, it works- but I know i might want to add and remove aircraft in the future- I recently grabbed the Su-30_EFM_V2.7.3b mod - it's a zip file as they like to come , inside that, the first folder is a folder with the aircraft name(Su-30etc) , then inside THAT one is the aircraft files - - and figured, why not try OpenModManager to install it- and get used to a Mod Manager for the first time So i installed OMM, and got immediately confused - I set Target Directory Path as C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\Aircraft , for aircraft mods in open mod manager Then, in the OMM window for local library - is where things ...are weird. I had downloaded that Su 30 to my normal downloads folder so in OMM i hit Add mods to library , navigate to it, download it. It adds the zip to the location i'd set for it (which is not important i think, but it's set at C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\Open Mod Manager\DCS Open Beta\Aircraft\Library\Su-30_EFM_V2.7.3b ) Anyway, the zip appears in the local library - so I then double click to install -And of course, this messes up the C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\Aircraft folder as it now not only has the F 22 and F 15EX folders, but all the SU 30 files, suck as Bin, Cockpit, Config, etc in that same folder- that's no good! I was hoping it'd just unzip the zip and put the SU 30 Folder in with the other aircraft folders, not go into that and put all the aircraft files there ...I undo that (thankfully easy, just uninstall in open mod manager), then go to where that zip file actually is, i unzip it manually myself, now it's just a folder named SU-30 in the local library(alongside the zip with the same name but that's not important anymore) i Doubleclick SU30 EFM folder to install- it does the SAME THING, lol , it goes one level deeper and puts all the aircraft files alongside the F22 and F15EX aircraft folders in C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\Aircraft -What am i doing wrong? Is there a easy way to get it to just copy the Aircraft's named folder from a mod there along the others, then inside that put the aircraft data files like DCS requires? Or is this not how one's supposed to use OMM? Note: I am relatively new to DCS modding, i'll admit- but i was happy, i did get the F22 and F15EX mods to work-So i gotta get this manager to try to line up the folders correctly??
  6. Just wanted to say, this is awesome- this is my first mod to the game, and I am loving it! (I got a good handle on the Hornet and Viper, and then started FC-3, hit the Eagle- and then sought this out and found it! So far, 20 AMRAAMS is epic - Thank you for this Spino! Though the biggest issue is getting the afterburner detente right for my thrustmaster warthog- it's been a massive nightmare due to assymetrical thrust, and tons of days trying to tweak that. I might give up and stop doing thrust left and thrust right and just do thrust (single) - hadn't realized it'd be so diff from the F15C curve-wise in that regard. (Yes, i was trying to use JC of DI's spreadsheet tool (but he only accounts for the C and E models) , but ended up hitting curvature and not using user curves, to make it so i dont need my throttles 95% of the way just to light the burners, far past the detente) Still have yet to try the Peregrines Aside from the detent , and also having some weird sharp movement from activating autopilot some of the time if i don't hit both A and H at the near exact same time - I have been taking on whole groups of enemies with the EX with missiles to spare! EDIT: I grabbed version 1.7, but just noticed your links in the first post still link to 1.6, and aren't updated!
  7. Trying to use this with Spino7's 's F15EX Mod- I have the thrustmaster warthog throttle- and i did it like i set up everything else- it gets a result for me of right throttle 38, left throttle 36 for where the detente stops it and i have to lift it further sidenote:(I set it to F15C) it seems this can't handle planes not pre-selectable though- it ends up at the detente, not going to AB- i have go go past it a bit, before it turns on- and i am not sure how to readjust the calculator for this I looked at the position once it does go to afterburner, the throttles(both left and right ) are like at position 13(left) 14(right) - which i think isn't what the calc is expecting How do i compensate when it comes to aircraft not in the detente calculator? wish i could figure out how to tweak the spreadsheet or the old software calculator tool to do it
