It looks like you have no MODs at all right now, and that shouldn't be a problem. I'm no expert but create a \mods folder inside \DCS.OpenBeta, then create a \aircraft folder inside \mods. Then copy/paste your ZIP into \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft and unzip it.

Some updates might actually stir up more interest in a future PURCHASE for some people on the fence about it's value in the SIM. Eye candy screenshots aren't very convincing me in our digital world anymore, I'd prefer some functionality for known significant issues. Just an opinion...

Probably easier to just copy the ZIP into C:\Users\[Username]\Desktop\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft >> then unzip there. If that works you can go back and find where you put the Hercules ver 6.8.2 directory originally and delete it. It's a free 3rd party Mod, not an aircraft (per se) so it needs to go to Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft\ directory. It does NOT belong in the C;\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\ I made the same mistake (several times ) until our esteemed colleague @Rudel_chw got me sorted out. His instructions and suggestions led me to add a another 500GB SSD dedicated to EagleDynamics and free up the C:\

@ Ghostmaker.........Try dragging it to Saved Games as in : C:\Users\major\Desktop\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft

And your asset packs can be found where, I'll give them a try, thanks

If I may jump in and ask a simple question regarding anti-ship missiles.... Is there a land based anti-ship that my OPPONENT can be outfitted with in the mission editor?

AS they say in my crib 'homie don't do TikTok'

@ASAP...........I'm sure they tested it somewhere along the way but I don't think it compares to rockets or Mavs because a) the gun smoke would defuse that tracer glare right in front of your face making it a bigger impairment, and b) the Mavs and rockets are firing from behind you, and to the side. In any case I'm sure some creative genius could create a MOD that might simulate this spectacle. Might be fun to eval

+1 if I got you folks correctly. I want to (hypothetically) build a template of a couple houses, next a restaurant, next a garage, next to a ....whatever, and save that on Syria. And then drop that same template on the Persian Gulf or Caucasus map. YES, that would be a time saving little trick similar to building a SAM site, FARP or ????

What does ModelViewer2.exe do? It won't launch for me...is there parms needed? I'm looking for some way to go thru all these MOD vehicles-arms-personel-statics to find the right objects. Some just appear ingame as a 3D box.

Being a noob to this A/C and recognizing it's current dev state I have just a few quick questions/comments...other than it's a blast t o fly. No documentation at all? No Position, Anti-Collision or Formation LIGHTS? No TAD screen showing Mission Flight Plan? I'm still struggling with that whole display logic.

@Timex3....I know NOTHING about this A/C, just started flying it a couple days ago....but.... Not sure whether certain skins are required but this was a simple one. It did NOT require a Ground Attack or CAS mission when I first did it. Maybe you have an older version...this is v6.8.2 I d/l'd the other day.

My WSO, can you guess why I prefer doing the backseat startup myself...besides the 35kgs of 'bling'? Does not take instructions or procedures well

Cool brother, and if we can co-op on stuff for the 'community' I'm thrilled to share as I have seen you do throughout the various forums.

VAICOM doesn't use VA? I thought VAICOM kind of resides inside or on top of VA, now I'm curious what else I've been missing, and maybe why my COMS can be a mess sometimes. I use a VAICOM profile inside VA. Is this 'old school' sh#t I've missed somewhere along the journey?
