If they don't have the F/A-18C installed, then the module will not load due to the Modules Required / Rules: In the entry.lua, they can change true to false, which will load the module, but they will still not be able to fly the aircraft as the DLLs and dependent code is not installed nor activated by DRM for them. --[[ DEFINE F/A-18C REQ. ]] ["F/A-18C"] = {required = true}, -- [[ DEV NOTE: DEDICATED SERVER, OR PLAYERS W/O DCS:FA-18C THAT WANT TO SEE AI / OTHER PLAYERS NEED TO SET TO FALSE ]] For the Record though, it DOES Say DCS: F/A-18C is Required in the Install Notes, Credits, etc.

Sorry guys/gals/fans, There's a slight delay, as the testers found some issues that needed to be fixed. For the most part everything was functioning as intended, But I had to make revisions to the new version parsing system as I did not include provisions for Hotfixes or Assembly.PrivatePart version fields. That fix plus a few other changes are now being testing, and I might have to adjust a few other things. Hopefully Next weekend, or if I can get remote access from the Hotelli, mid-week.

Pretty sure ED is moving to Blender, lol.. But they only make plugins for Max Versions they have licenses for.

in my experience, the 2:1 Pulldown in resolution trend was discontinued in 2004ish. Shoot in my studio renders for TV Shows and Movies the Normal, Metallic and Roughness Maps are 2x the size of the general albedo maps... As for Formats, it's BC7 For Transparency and BC1 without.

I have a new version in internal testing w/ the testers, so barring any major issues... end of the week... TM.

Right Click Build Slot, Set Sim Path, on the Sub Menu, Choose "Manually Set Sim Path", then set to the \DCS\ Root folder.

For Those that arent "Graphically Knowledge-able" The Current FCS: MiG-29's Normal Maps are: 2048x2048 for 4,194,304 px a 400% / 4x Increase to a Surface ^2 Texture is: 4096x4096 for 16,777,216 px, 4K ^2 Textures are standard for pretty much everything now. Put the Pitchforks away.

So many Keyboard Attorneys... Tip: Don't waste time trying to justify either side, it's nothing consumers can control. Let the legal teams dispute it, no amount of justification, speculation or hypothesications can make the proceedings go any faster, in fact, the drama and such surrounding this issue, likely makes it harder for the litigation teams on the matter to be conclusively in agreement and resolved the contractual contravention of terms by either side.

Trust me, I'm aware of the limitations of not being able to use modelviewer for liveries. I've prolly made more liveries than I can count, and unofficial templates for a while, I think in the last 5 years, I've launched modelviewer more than DCS itself.

Of Models being Stolen, or Models being dumped from memory? I'm not comfortable treading into this topic, as it borderlines piracy etc etc, That being said, the subject chain of discussion on the matter should prolly stop now.

w/ EDCE in place, it would be a scrambled mess. I was referring to current .EDM models.

the .EDM Format did not protect against models being converted, I'll leave it at that, ED's Models were being exported and re-used in other games/sims by individuals. in fact, even now, with the right tools, I can dump anything from VRAM Memory and import it into 3DS.

ModelViewer Currently does not have the DRM interface.

I am not employed ED, That being said, for a block I Super Hornet most of the data is available upon request, block II not so much, Here's the caveat, for a normal civilian. ED has had in the past some form of agreements with Boeing, so limits applied to a normal person requesting data for a sim might not apply. Another Caveat is the F-35 is exported to ~10 Countries already with another 6 investing in the program. While the Super Hornet is a 2 Country Pony.
