The issue is fixed in the beta

Hi I try to use russians AA, russians urnarmed and russians armored in the ME and it's totally impossible, even if I choose Russia the the dialog box, I just can have US materials. On an already existing mission, these russians vehicles or armored are working properly. I've tried to delete all my unofficial mods but it's the same.

Eagle01, in fact it's very strange. When I've put the VP-men in natoGF, all became quite normal. So: Thanks to you ! The only issue I have: If I use the VPC-Airfield-equipment in a mission, I havn't the cockpit shadows anymore in some modules ( L39, Yak 52). It's quite strange.

You're right That works now ! Thanks ! But what is the line causing the issue in the autoexec.cfg ?

HI I've updated my release yesterday and I havn't anymore the communications menu with M2000 or L-39. With the M2000 I can't ask to remove the wheel choks since I havn't menu What are the new affectations ?

Thanks for the help but I don't understand what you mean. I've already overwriten the VP-men edm files in main\shapes\. I havn't a VP-MAN forlder in tech\ in addition to the "main" folder. Thanks !

Hi everybody I'm coming back from a little travel and the good new: The issue with some items of the VPC Airfield equipment has been fixed by VOC. Big Thanks to you VOC but I still have the issue with the VP-Men ( check, idle...)

Encore merci à toi White-Sky !

Ok thanks for your answer. It's more clear now. But that means that these boats willn't be updated anymore, a bad new for me. And about the DC3 mods made by markindel and you ? For now, they seem to run in 2.5.5. but in the future, can you update them alone or you haven't files to do it ???

These ones: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1731335/ This one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/files/1524753/?sphrase_id=17963055 This one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1250645/ and Class-Mistral, Tonnerre, Dixmude. In the list of DCS, it's said that there are made by Markindel but if you type "Crazyeddie" in the search bar, they are listed. So, something I havn't understood: Crazyeddie and Markindel are you the same person or just collaborators ? Thanks to you !

Hi And do you intend to update your boats ?

And the VPC -Airfield-Equipment works half. Some items are working yet, some others no

Je t'ai envoyé ma liste sur C6 Encore merci à toi ! J'ai oublié les navires: Les bateaux de markindel https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.c...se_id=17888739 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.c...se_id=17888753 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/fr/files/1720508/?sphrase_id=17888843 Les porte hélicos Mistrals Je ré-éditerai ce message si j'en trouve d'autres Pour les DC3 j'ai pas encore testé

If you're sure about that, especially for VPC-Airfield, it's a very very good new for me as it's the mod I've used the most in my missions. More than Ranger pack and I don't despair about an update from Uputaut's mods ( That I've used intensively too).

I think you have the good solution. A news letter to the moders, eventually a private message with the tool to allow them to re-compil with the new plugins could be a good solution, some days before the releasing of a new version. Today, I continue to use the release version but it will be soon the hour of choice. All the missions I've made will become obsolete. I've spent hours to establish good triggers, to make templates US and RUS for each airfield and each harbour at least on Caucasus. Yesterday I've tried to see, with the ME in 2.5.5 which item will continue to run or not and I think that things are worst that I thought in first. Because in the ME, some objects have no more a picture view,and for these one, the message is clear, they will not run anymore. But others have yet a picture, so you could think that they're okay. But when you place them and launch the mission, the mission stays as if it was paused and nothing to do to unpause. So the amount of items which will not run anymore is higher that I thought in first. As BadCRc said for him previously in this topic, it's a total disaster for me too.

But it revives the debate: ED knows what these mods are containing and that many users (customers like me) are using the items contained in these mods. I've often asked an asset pack with this kind of objects and civilians objects and characters too. I'm pretty ready to pay for that and in this way we could have he same evolution for these items with the improvement of DCS. See: ED claims to be a combat simulation but don't hesitate to sell a plane like the Christen Eagle having nothing to do with military stuffs. Why are they so opposite to create a civilian asset pack ?

I never said that ED don't work. They try to improve their product and it's quite normal. But in other hand, they must be aware that if some users have made mods, it's to overcome a lack of items that they havn't include. Some users do not need these missing objects but some other like me are wanting more realism in the landscape, on the airbases and airfields and seeing many objects having their full place to improve the visual realism and improve the pleasure we have by using DCS World. And suddenly, we must return to a basical landscape, including just the items ED has made. I'm sure that they know that some people having made these mods aren't on the forum anymore and that they know that these mods are used by many of us. A try to a backward compatibility would be welcome. If we are many people to express our dissatisfaction about that, they may try to see what they can do.

Thanks for your reply Eduardo but my missions and templates for myself represents plenty of hours of work. I'm not ready to forget them. I'm not a dev but perhaps ED could introduce a compatibility or giving us a tool to update the EDM ourselves. The problem is that lot of mods has been made by users that havn't given news on this forum since months or years. In exemple, the mod of this thread. As you say, some of them will update for the 2.5.5 ( I've read that the great Mustang works already on the lua) but I think we'd lost plenty of them. And the VPC-Airfield Equipment, made by Virpil, a controller seller, that I use intensively in the mission i'm making, I don't think that they will lost time to update their excellent mod but many items in this mod aren't working anymore with the 2.5.5. And the excellent mods of Uputaut with cargos and tents that I use intensively too, perhaps these one will be updated but it's not sure. And the boats like Mistrals or Bainbridge, Spruance, Durance and many others, I think that some of them will surely be updated but not all. When I read the forum, I can see that we are lot of users in this case and unhappy of this new situation. The question is how many unhappy users is needed to be listened by ED ?

On the topic I've opened about that, Nineline has been very clear: "We cant support mods, it's up to the mod creator to get them working with new versions. Sorry." Then he closed the thread. It doesnt' matter, as I play DCS more often in off line mode, if the moders do not update ( many of them havn't given sign of life since years ) I will copy the actual version of the release on my HD and play with it, keeping the updated version ( when they will switch the release in 2.5.5) only for the online mode that I use one hour and half by week in a aerobatic team of L-39. But that means too that I can't buy future modules anymore since they will not run in 2.5.4.

+1 This mod and others ( VPC ground crew, Uputaut cargos and tents, boats like Mistral or Bainbridge and others.... )

Hi Uputaut If you are still here, it's to warning you that your mods do not work anymore with the 2.5.5 bêta.

+1 with the new beta. I've began a thread myself: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=242562

Hi Perhaps it's not your concern ED but some great non-official mods do not work anymore since the big beta version update from today Some boats like Mistrals or US carrier or US military boats, some cargos from the old but excellent Uputaut's mod, some objects from the excellent VP ground crew and many others. I've done many missions with all these items with many hours of work and I hope that they will be usefull soon.

I confirm: Switching in sat view doesn't fix the issue. Does ED intend to fix the issue ?

I'd already thought about that but it doesn't work for me. I will try again. Thanks for your answer. I thought that I was alone.
