Not so long ago we could fly these of that carrier, and land again, just by a simple mod to the lua. Now its not possible to change the lua because it is encrypted but it would be great to have that facility restored. The mod options are endless, I even had a few 'pretend' Sea Fury's that were great fun to have in missions.

I have to agree with that, some guys spent a lot of time creating Japanese Zero skins for the Fw190-A8 and added carrier capability in the lua, which was then encoded and can no longer be adjusted. Thats a great shame because being able to edit the lua, and I only mean the lua, was a considerable asset to the game. I'm not sure what you achieve by encoding just some of the WW2 lua's and not all of them, or is that the intention in the long term ?

Under the Southern Cross they stand, ball and chain in their hand, symbol of the promised land, Australia. :laugh: Don't be offended, its just a laugh, we Brits love all you colonials to bits, you beat us at ever sport we play AND you have all the best looking women. :beer:

Thanks Cougar_DK, that seems to have worked, much appreciated.

That didnt help, same issue persists. Sadly its now 9 out of 10 times is fails to get past the first screen.

That's worth a try, cheers mate.

Most times I try to run the game my screen gets stuck on the DCS version page, the first page you normally see, and I have to shut it down with Task Manager. Out of 10 attempts to run the game it happened 8 times, to give you some idea of the frequency of the error. HOWEVER, when I take a screen shot of that first page, I dont get an image of that first page, I get an image of this page instead, but obviously I cannot see that on my screen so I have to crash out of the game and try again. [ATTACH] Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this.

Buildings do it too, put a red building on a blue airfield, or even near it, and the same issue applies. That issue has been raised countless times in the past with no response from ED.

Get on this thread boys and make your point, the more people that speak out the better chance we can get this decision reversed. Be polite, and keep it short, every post will help. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=274099

'Noise' gets heard, silence gets ignored. As a long time modder who has been around this game since the prehistoric Falcon days I would love to be able to mod CoreMod lua's in the Saved Games folder. I accept its your game to do with as you please but I do not think this an unreasonable request. We love your game - please try to remember we are on your side when you consider these requests.

:thumbup:

Just tried to download the main mod and it's still showing "google drive" - "file is in owner's trash" The other 2 work okay.

Frequently unable to log in, get stuck on login page, or gets stuck on authorisation page, or gets stuck on the next page, and wont let me into task manager to shut it down. Every time I exit Mission Editor the game freezes, 90% of the time it stays frozen, 10% it eventually shuts down after long delays. Basically unplayable for now.

There was no psd file with the original, sorry. I doctored the original to create the blank files that are there. Depending on what graphics prog you use you might be able to extract some of the lines but my old software was not up to it.

That's not the missile I have in my shapes folder, I have that horrible thing in the first post, and only that.

There is only 1 x edm in the world/shapes folder for the R-3s missile, so thats what you will see nomatter the distance, its not a lods issue as such. A solution is swap the R-3C missile above it on the list for the R-3s, just change the name.

Similar issue, the exe was invalid it said and I only had the option to delete it, which I did, I am using the exe from the bin folder.

Staggering quality really, if you can improve on that I will eat my hat, and your hat, and everyone else's hat's, and I dont even like hats. I look forward to your skins just so I can look on them and wonder. :thumbup:

Brilliant, have always loved these Mods. The texture file for the Civil Ambulance is empty, can that be fixed please. Now fixed, many thanks.

Looking great Joey. Of interest the largest helo's to use the deck in the 1970's were the Wessex 5's of 845 NACS, and we could accommodate a 5 on each spot easily. We would occasionally get a visitor from the USMC, a Sea Knight of CH53 and they were usually spotted down the back somewhere and rarely in an assault or Eagle Flight sequence, they took up too much space. I have no recollection of ever seeing a CH47 on her deck, no doubt they did but I never saw it. 845 NACS had 18 Wessex 5's (20 if you Include Prince Charles Red Dragon Flight) and the handlers could get one assault wave of 8 away and another up and on the spots very quickly. The dark areas to the Starboard on the flight deck was used to park the Cdo Units Vehicles and Guns, the guns up forward usually. The unit vehicles would be the lightweight Landrover SWB types with trailers, it was rare to see anything larger on her deck because we had no helos capable of lifting them off. During winter deployments the Landrovers were replaced by Snowcats, the most useless bit of kit the Royal Marines ever used. Beside the parked vehicles you might find the odd Small Military 6ftx6ft Chacon of the period, lots more of those on winter deployments. Hope this is helpful for deck populators. How do I know all this stuff. In the 1970's the 2 x Royal Navy Cdo Helo Sqns (845 and 848 ) had 8 Royal Marines in them, 2 Lt RM pilots. 2 Sgt RM and 4 Marines who provided the tactical ashore parties (MAOT) for the Sqns when they were deployed ashore from the ships. They were members of the Sqn, and I was one of them in the 1970's. 845 Parent Ship - HMS Hermes 848 Parent Ship - HMS Albion 846 Parent Ship - HMS Gannet (RNAS Yeovilton) - The RNAS Cdo Helo Training Sqn. Winter deployment base RNoAF Bardufoss Norway.

How I wish HMS Queen Lizzie and the POW had been built to that flight deck configuration, cats and traps with full interoperability with the USN/French. What we have instead is a huge LHA and a wasted opportunity.

I have randomly the same issues to Abril, thought not as frequently. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and asked around if it was that, no responses, but assumed it was a Windows 10 issue because it never happened prior to that upgrade. I had not noticed the reduced size splash screen previously either, but now if that appears I usually get a freeze

VERY crowded, and VERY busy, limited hangar space, time required to get aircraft up to the deck to launch them, all factors to be planned for. The Royal Navy did it by a small shuffle board in the Flight Deck Office where they had a scale plan of the deck and scale models of the aircraft which they moved around on the board before they moved them on deck, and it worked well, usually. All you needed was somebody with a logical brain and a good idea of the flight plan. So yes, VERY crowded. Bloody dangerous place to work - On the deck I mean, not in the office !!! I have not seen how the USN do it but something similar I imagine.

I have been asking for this for years, its illogical for buildings to have a red or blue 'side', they are inanimate objects which might belong to one side or another, or be occupied by one side or another but they should have no impact on the game, they dont shoot back, they dont react, they just sit there doing what buildings do - sod all. The really annoying bit about this is that if you place a red building on or near an airfield no blue aircraft can land there, they divert to the nearest blue side airfield. Solution - Give them a neutral option, they can still be red or blue so you can attack them if that's your thing, but a neutral option will overcome lots of issues. When I say years I really mean years, I think I first asked about it back in the days when Flaming Cliffs first appeared - the response from ED has always been zero.
