To assist others, as well as myself, to use this very useful program, I created my own personal User Guide. I do not claim that it covers all possible use conditions. Note that V1.08 renamed Context to Modding Hub and Target Locations to Channel. First download and install Open Mod Manger. Then.... In the main Open Mod Manager (OMM) menu File\New\Modding Hub (IMO a more descriptive term would be Target Program you want to modify). Enter the path to the game/program to be modified, i.e. receive the mods. Select the desired Modding Hub from the title block below the OMM menu. OMM main menu Edit\Channel\Properties: Create a Channel (path) to one or more folders within the Target Program (Modding Hub) that will be modded; AND specify the Destination Library folder (where the mod packages you will create for the Channel will be stored). IMPORTANT. Organize the mods you want OMM to install. You will have to specify within OMM the path to the Target Program folders you wish to modify in one of two ways: 1. The Channels you create can include the path, or 2. Include the path in the folder on your PC where you organize the mod files. EXAMPLE: To add a vehicle to DCS Open Beta, create Channel "Saved Games\DCS.openbeta" then create a folder anywhere on your PC "MyMods\Mods\Tech\VehicleModFolder" where the folder MyMods contains the DCS.Openbeta path to the folder where the "VehicleModFiles" will be installed. Note that the Tech folder can contain multiple individual mod folders, several different vehicles for example. The Mods\Tech path could also have been included in the Channel definition instead of the MyMods folder. The MyMods folder can be archived in a .zip file if desired. After completing these steps for a given program you should rarely need to repeat or alter them. You can then create OMM mod packages whenever you need them. Under the Library tab select the desired Target Program Channel/folder that you want to modify. Under Tools menu select Package Editor. If the PC mod folder (MyMods) has not been zipped, select radio button Create from folder content, then navigate to the MyMods folder using the Browse window. If the MyMods folder is zipped, select Edit/Create from existing package. Name the mod package whatever you want. All the files in the MyMods folder will display in the Package Content window. Verify the path is correct. Now the tricky part. The Destination folder is Destination Library where the Package being created will be stored (NOT the Target Program installation location). This folder was specified when creating the Channel. If desired select a Mod Category and enter a description. Save the package BEFORE closing. It will display in the large package window, if created successfully. Maybe others can find this useful and/or improve on it.

Any way in the P-51 to know the remaining bullets, other than being aware of the time the trigger is pressed?

Very impressive research! My track shows the 30 degree error continues to exist during initial climb-out after takeoff, but of course I am pitched up during that maneuver. I will check out behavior when straight and level.

OK. Full repair of DCS resulted in no change to the compass behavior. Attaching a track and map screenshot of runway lineup clearly showing my 060 heading. ED needs to look into this or someone advise me what I am doing wrong. P-51 Compass.trk

Oh yes, I can quite easily adjust the DG to match the compass indication. But then both instruments will read 090, or 30 degrees from my true heading of 060. I have found no procedure to correct the compass indication to 060. Am I missing something? Surely I am not the only P-51 pilot to experience this issue. How can I ever find my way home from a mission? Perhaps I need to perform a DCS repair.

Ok, but.... see this screenshot shortly after takeoff from Brazenville runway 6. Compass reads 090 and DG reads 060. 30 degrees difference??

Realize this is a necro topic, but I just started flying the Mustang on Normandy 2.0, 2.4.8.39731 OB and noticed this issue of compass and directional gyro readings differing by 15 -20 degrees. Is this a long-standing bug or am I doing it wrong? Do I need to calibrate gyro before takeoff?

Panasonic/Shiftall MeganeX headset delayed. Big surprise! Now scheduled for July (2023, I believe) release. Consumer version weighs in at 1699 USD. As I recall the January 2022 CES announcement was for a May 2022 release at about 800 USD. Twice as long and twice the price. At least the postponement periods are getting shorter. MeganeX Release News

Are Normandy 2.0 individual airfield maps available anywhere?

OK, Tx. Beginning to get the hang of it. One wonders why the engineers designed it like this.

I have Crosswind pedals with toe brakes. The toe brakes behave normally during calibration and when used with other DCS aircraft, like the Mustang. I decided to venture into the Thunderbolt. Assigned P-47D wheel brake right and left axes to toe brakes, tuned axes to slider and invert, but behavior seems wierd. When I tap a toe brake it appears to remain engaged after releasing the brake pedal, so that the airplane continues to turn/spin until I engage the opposite brake to return to straight line taxiing. Is this normal? If not, how do I achieve normal braking behavior?

Some time ago I created a profile "DCS Update" that disabled all the DCS Install folder mods. Sure can't remember how I did it, tho.

Ahhhh. Ok, installed fine when I "Run as Administrator". Tx for quick help. Set that up permanently in program properties.

Successfully completed purchase of P-47 module 2 hours ago. Shows up for download in DCS Module Manager, but download attempt kicks me to desktop with this log entry: Any suggestions? Overburdened server?

Title says it all. Yesterday it was a sub-topic of DCS World 2.8. Not there now.

Wow! I am a native English speaker and engineer with vast experience writing technical reports for unsophisticated lay persons. Moreover, I have been a PC software user and flight sim enthusiast for about 30 years, so consider myself technically proficient. Now, I have been using OMM since near its inception, as I prefer it over OvGME; and I must admit I AM STILL CONFUSED over the package creation terminology and file storage procedure. I say this not to be highly critical, as I appreciate the efforts of mod developers and I know I could not cope well in another language. I will try to digest all the foregoing discussion and offer suggestions for improvement.

Many thanks for continuing to support the WPE.

Since TheWay utility was updated to V2 on Apr 16, DCS WPE TheWay coordinate capture method no longer works. Problem is within the new TheWay.lua script, that has many changes, that goes in Saved Games folder. DCS WPE still functions as intended with the older TheWay.lua script.

Interesting that the VR method using DCS Scratchpad does not require cycling the F10 map coordinate mode to precise Lat/long.

I struggled with this issue also. Lasko helped me resolve. My issue was my custom Windows and DCS scaling settings, for my QHD monitor, that WP Editor could not handle. I fixed by changing the Windows scaling for DCS (see attached image) and changing the Scale GUI setting in DCS\Controls to 1. Hope this helps.

@ Baseline_ Quite interested in your experience with the 3080 12G, as that is the vid card I have currently; and I am planning to get back into VR this year with one of the new Gen headsets. Planning on a MB/CPU upgrade, but wondering if I will need to upgrade my video. I now have 32G RAM and suspect that those new headsets will greatly benefit from 64G.

Latest releases at: Latest Version VRK. Have not tested with dcs-mt.

So far as I know there is no built-in HOTAS function to change waypoints. Two options are to bind the control function to a HOTAS button or keypress or mouse-click on the HSI OSB.

What is it?? Fire Can maybe?

Probably because to produce an improved VR experience over existing headsets requires more costly technologies like pancake lenses.
