VooDoo-S8

Bump for info as I too would like to know if this is possible...

What’s the font used for the “AG” etc. on the tails?

It seems the first lot (4gb in my case) was to do with "deltas"... Any ideas what they are?

Bump for any info..?

Thanks mate! :thumbup:

Excellent! What is the FPU_8a file (I'm a noob skinner so forgive my ignorance)? Cheers, Chopper.

Short answer : airflow Currently at work having issues with one that’s flaming out prematurely so too busy to write a more detailed explanation! Lol!

Deleting that file solved the problem! Thanks Skate :thumbup: Cheers, Chopper

Thanks for the reply Skate.. Tried what you suggested, no joy. Same message as before... Cheers, Chopper.

I'm having difficulty with the utility all of a sudden. It worked perfectly until this morning when I tried to start DCS. I have copied the error text below. Any help appreciated..

Yep, same here. Happened every time i crashed (So, A lot! Lol!) and respawned into another one.

I'm also having FPS problems (in VR). Getting from 10-20 until airborne on quickstart, user made and multi player. Also getting severe lag/stuttering as soon as I line up with the runway.

Any update on this guys?

Tornado GR 1/4, Jaguar GR 3 or Buccaneer S2b (In that order) for me please!

Aww sweet Jesus I wish this would release already! Lol! Looking forward to this more than any module...

Just goes to show, you can't please everyone! The negativity on this forum because the devs want paid for work carried out is unbelievable. You don't want it? Easy, don't buy it. It's an add on for an existing module. If you drive the Mi-8, you'll probably buy it with no complaints. If you don't even own the Mi-8 module then, in my opinion, you can't/shouldn't complain. I will be buying it that's for sure. Oh, I ain't no "fanboy".. I'm not overly impressed with the ED updates... but,let's be honest, it's better to hear about a AIRCRAFT nav impliment (that can only better the sim) than updated trains! Peace out! Chopper...

Hi, I seem to be unable to get this mod working. I've downloaded the current file from the vpc website, extracted into my ovgme location but nothing shows up in the mission editor. Am I missing something? Is there anything else I should be doing? I've also attempted to direct copy the mods folder to my main DCS folder bypassing ovgme but it still won't work? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers,

Any update on this module guys? All other modules will be left in the hangar when if get my paws on this beast!! Haha!!

I often wonder why things like the aforementioned RWR has to be modelled exactly? Can they not just simulate its function? I doubt very much that the RWR on aircraft like the F-15, A-10 and upcoming F-18 replicate exactly the functionality of the real world aircraft.

I would like to see ED concentrate on the core engine and let loose the SDK for 3rd parties etc. Look at what some of the modding community can accomplish with the basic tools. Now, imagine if you will, that developers who usually create for other sim platforms got on board.. just think of the aircraft and terrains that could (possibly) be opened up for us. Unfortunately I feel ED is a bit of a 'closed door' company and, other than the newsletters, we will never actually know what the plan is for the DCS platform.

I have a 6600k running at 4.5 and a 1060 strix OC and my frames are pretty constant @90-100fps at 1080p and locked to 45fps with asw enabled in VR in both 1.5 and Nevada however Normandy seems to kill my frame rate regardless of the settings :( I would recommend OC'ing your 6600k as it made a noticeable difference for me.

With pre fadec engines you have to rely on the stick monkey up front to actually confess to having cooked the engine on startup which, surprisingly, they ain't too quick to admit! Most of the time it'll only result in an extra bunch of inspections to be carried out (borescope of the hot end etc.) but if they go into the red for an extended period they usually it's an engine change.. it's very rare to have a catastrophic failure of the engine. As said above, torque is the real limiting factor.. the monkey over torques it then it's not just power plant inspections that need carried out, your up to your nuts in main xmsn, mast, head and all other wonderful stuff!

I have the same issue, as said before it's just one of the drawbacks of vr.. What I would personally like was if the 9 lines and pertinent comms were somehow automatically added to a blank kneeboard page. That way my terrible memory could cope!

I have this bug in the release version as well, quite unplesant in VR! Also, my gun aiming reticule has started bouncing around all over the place now too...

Deleted as suggested and all working perfectly again! Cheers Skate!
