Is there a way to safely remove most of the aircraft icons on the bottom of the start page? I have to scroll through almost all the way to the end to get to a mod that I'm working on. Or, a way to test a mod without opening DCS?

Go to C:\Users\ur name\Saved Games and move it to C:/

How prevalent is this guide now? In relation to DCS 2.7 now that it is out? Is there a newer guide available?

DOH! Thanks Ajax! Now on to the next problem.

Working on a OH6 mod made from an old one I found online. The readme says: OH-6A 3D Model by: 3dregenerator (2011-08-31) thefree3dmodels.com left door gunner model: ch-47 pilot by ED edited and changed by rsvnpilot Big thanks to Majesco ,Behong (edited HelicopterConst.lua) in C:\Users\<login>\Saved Games\DCS\Config 1/create the autoexec.cfg file with notepad++ and add the text: table.insert(options.graphics.VFSTexturePaths, "c:/Users/<login>/Saved Games/DCS/Textures/oh-6") 2/create the Textures folder in: C:\Users\<login>\Saved Games\DCS\ 3/copy oh-6 zip file to Textures folder I've tried to do this but DCS dxdiag error states: 2021-06-07 16:50:52.766 ERROR Lua::Config: load error Config/main.cfg:[string "C:\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config/autoexec.cfg"]:1: '<name>' expected near '\'. I can't figure what I'm missing. I included my autoexec.cfg file. Any help greatly appreciated as I flew this aircraft in Nam. autoexec.cfg

I made another user in w7x64 and did a clean install of DCS 2.5.6 and installed OH6 in saved games on another drive for test purposes and I can access it but it crashes DCS when I try to use it. Studying the crash file now. There are a few errors and warnings reported.

Thanks rato65 good idea

I have the DCS UH1-H mod. No, its not in core or mods in the main Eagle Dynamics folder. I can disable AH-6j in the installed modules in the game. Could I delete it from the saved games folder?

I tired to uninstall AH6 with Generic Mod Enabler and it's still there so I went into DCS installed modules and was able to turn it off but there is no trashcan for the program so I can't fully uninstall AH6.

Been converting the AH6 mod to a OH6 (flew it in Nam) and installed it in C:\Saved Games\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft\OH-6 but DCS does not see it. I have the AH6 mod installed and it works and is seen by DCS. As I understand it DCS looks for the entry lua file. I have included my entry lua file and Generic Mod Enabler - jsgme_2.6.0 install log for the OH6. Any help will be greatly appreciated. entry.lua OH-6A install.log

Moved the saved games folder to C drive now nothing put in it shows up in DCS openbeta. C:\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta

Came across pic of me taking off at Ca Mau VN. It shows the mini-gun, pilot, gunner (me) and the wooden box we carried our bombs in. 6 lbs of c4 taped to a concussion grenade.

DCS World on w10 with all updates causes unhandled exception in win32 when exiting program Thought it was Visual Studio 19 so removed it but it is still happening.

Thanks for the info. Followed your link and downloaded and installed. Not quite the same as an OH-6 (AH-6 is better) but having fun! Found an old OH-6 for the old DCS 1.5 which won't load into DCS 2.5.6 but been trying to figure out how to make it work. OH-6A.rar

Yes, that one. 340

The mini gun was hard mounted and actually rarely used as the door gunner did most of the shooting. We carried around 3000 rounds for the m60 and about 4000 for the mini gun. We also made our own bombs. Usually 6 lbs of C4 taped around a concussion grenade. We carried around 20-30 of those. We'd fire anywhere between 3-12000 rounds a day through our M60's. (firing bolts were near and dear and hard to get). We fired a lot of rounds because we were looking for a gun fight. Shoot a lot, blow bunkers, hoochs etc looking for the bad guys. Flew two Oh-6 aircraft per mission, a lead and wing man with command & control Huey and two Cobras. Took 4 Loaches to the field everyday. Didn't always return with that many. We flew low and slow and one of my favorite things was to try and shoot coconuts that were still hanging on the tree. Got quite good at it. A lot of practice. lol Our platoon leader mounted two 2.75" rockets on the skid struts once but it didn't work to good. We were to close to impact point. lol Even with all the weight we carried that little Loach just buzzed along. As an aside, when I flew B and C gunships on my first tour we normally put a spot on the wind shield with a marker and used it for a site for gun or rockets, respective of which seat you were in. Hard to use the mini gun site when in a gun run and bouncing up and down from a 1:1 lateral vibration. lol

I have a OH-6 Loach for FXS that I'm trying to convert to DCS using AH-6J_V0.4 and could use some help. I have converted the BPM files in the OH-6 to DDS but now I'm lost at what to do next. Not sure how big a job this will be but would love some help. I realize the flight characteristics are different but that doesn't matter to much at this point. You see, I have many hours in this bird. I was the platoon Sargent for the Outcast scout platoon for C trp (air) 16th cav in Vietnam for over a year and would really love to fly this aircraft in DCS. The folders I'm using are to big to unload with this message but I can email them or share them on my google drive site. Thanks for any help or ideas.

Just stumbled across this page although I've enjoyed DCS off and on for over 12 years. I was the Outcast platoon sergeant for about 1 1/2 years in 71/72 and have a lot of hours in 340 and other loaches we had. The young man in the pic is Bob R. and he passed about 12 years ago. He is at Cau Mau VietNam circa 1971.

TrackIR v5 Had been working fine in DCS but it quit working in DCS now. TrackIR v5 works on the puter and I have it running when I start DCS but now there is no head tracking in DCS. Both lights are green on the TrackIR v5 sensor but there is no head movment in DCS.

Using FaceTrackNoIR V2.0.1 and x52 stick and trying to bind? FaceTrackNoIR V2.0.1 to a key on the joystick so I can center FaceTrackNoIR V2.0.1 but they don't see each other. I have setup FaceTrackNoIR V2.0.1 to center with rctrl+home and it works and the stick to button 23 (button number I'm using on the stick) but it does not center FaceTrackNoIR V2.0.1 as rctrl+home does on the keyboard.

Can't seem to get this mod to work. Ovgme says it's not a valid mod archive. I've put it under the A10c-II folder and in the DCS World OpenBeta folder but still no joy.

I have 3 DCS folders under Eagle Dynamics, Can they be made into 1 folder or should I even mess with it? I've included a pic of the folder.
