Im about to give up as i cant seem to figure out whats going wrong its automatically installed here C:\Users\WAR-MACHINE\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ Ive tried deleting and installing to either A-4E-C v1011 (HotfixPreApplied) as well as the new A-4E-C_v102_.exe to Q:\DCS World\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\A-4E-C and C:\Users\WAR-MACHINE\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft\A-4E-C And i have had zero luck no icon to select aircraft or quick mission no a4 listed it does show the A-4E-c under installed modules tab unknown I am literally stumped at why I can use the mod or what step i missed... :( looks like I wont be able to try it out unless its a full fledged module.

Question for the Mod team : With the A4E and persian gulf map gives one the perfect settings to replicate a Mission mini campaign fighting Daesh/ ISIS albiet with one problem terrorist assets Specifically an Armored Vbied. Is there anyway the team could model one say using a small Russian fuel truck that one one could have multiple trucks plus ordinary fuel trucks re-skin with arabic instead of Cyrillic in one unit Heres my Idea that I would like to create using the PG map until the Syria map but I have no modeling or modding experience. Feel free to copy or share my idea as a member of Draken your team is sent into Middle east/Kurdistan to conduct flight training for the newly created Kurdish Air force who recently purchased ex Israeli A-4H and hired Draken to train the pilots on the A-4. meanwhile your team is Conducting training in country. hostilities intensify and your team is tasked to defend the airfield and surrounding area from ISIS attacks known assets are older ww2 German and British systems, older Russian armor t55/62 Improvised armored vehicles including armored vbied's and Suspected captured Iranian Hawk and at least 1 Sa-2 system as well as various man-pads no known air capabilities But Russia and turkey are nervous following a shoot down of multiple Russian aircraft and will engage non state actors if neutral airspace is violated as Draken and the Kurdish air-force is not recognized avoid straying with in 6 km of Russian assets. my thoughts are basic flight training as an instructor and your AI wingman is the trainee 7 mission campaign 1-2 training 3-7 combat missions fighting a guerrilla force in support of friendly troops in contact and QRF rapid flight and airbase defense against 1-2 vbied threats and multiple infantry w possible armor support. If anyone can help me with this thats great or if the mod team could include Daesh assets with their weapon pack that would be awesome again love the work!

The install directions are unclear where is the install placed ? also there are multiple files on the google drive which one should I use thanks

Can someone Help a Mod newbie with Installation/troubleshooting, by posting a Step by step, Video or link to either if already done. for myself and for future users. thanks

Agreed +1 NTTR Needs NAS Fallon. or DCS needs Map tools for us to create it ourselves. It is a shame that ED cant make it happen.. But 3rd Party.. Maybe community Mod team ??? if given the tools to do so...

So hmm good to know, is this a setting we can adjust. I dont know exactly how or what parameter to set to make it more realistic Like Say if Awacs loses picture dissengage if more the 20km out. Or Is this just something that ED will have to adjust later one at some point and we are just stuck with this behavior..??

Sorry but MK83s wearing a BSU-85 prefers the term aerodynamically challenged, retarded is too explosive of a term.. :thumbup:

Id do this set the hard deck at 500 ft AGL. if you fly above it they can see you but....I'm not gonna sit here and blow sunshine up your a**, Lieutenant. A good pilot is compelled to evaluate what's happened, so he can apply what he's learned. Up there, we gotta push it. That's our job. It's your option, Lieutenant. All yours. Just remember Boys...There's two "O"s in Goose.

Depends on which model... https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0de_1471217993

Well that sucks but hopefully down the road when/ if multi thread is added they can add this to the list..

My request Is that we get some model destruction improvement. this is currently what it looks like Grim Reapers Video used as an example... Nice video Chaps as always !! 26:04 1. Id like to see the terrain mold around placed objects versus objects disappear into them bomb Craters actually an 3d object vs 2d. 2. maybe add it the ability to use ORBX like other flight sims have. heres the example of ORBX Thanks

Outside of the attack on Pearl. Theres Midway and the Solomon Islands,Philippines. theres also the Battle of the Coral Sea which was an all air battle so that could be a sea map of anything, Mariana Islands, Iwo Jima and Okinawa and then the Battle of Singapore. and realistically you could make It this way in DCS as seperate maps Hawaii Training map like NTTR also for the historic battle at pearl Midway Solomon Islands Lots of Battles here Philippines Lots of Battles on the islands and around Mariana Islands the Turkey shoot... Iwo Jima Okinawa on one map that's the way Id design it if I did it.. you could also have a Burma /China map

Question 1. What if We had ORBX true earth support or something similar and the ability to edit current maps. Plus a dynamic theater. A campaign that moves through multiple maps in various ways Such as for example Nevada}PG } future Syria map or bounces back and forth mission to mission. Now to address Size you say doesn't let you refuel how about a cutscene vs loading screen your flight transitioning from one map to the next and your starting task is to Refuel or land at a nearby base one you have placed or one already on the map. 2. If maps were editable and the map tools were available. why wouldn't it be possible to turn Nevada into say parts of Jordan and Iraq. i dunno if larger maps is the ideal solution whats the pro's cons to the 400x400 that a say 600x600 or 800x800 would fix what problems would they introduce. 3. what time target are we trying to achieve for missions that current maps cant hit. The Question I now pose is.. Using what i asked in 1/2 say we plan a 30-45 min flight followed by 15 on station followed by another 30-45 min return this is a pretty long flight for a single mission. now say you have 30 missions to a operation that is roughly 45 hrs. and say you design a campaign around say 3 operations. That is roughly 6 days. and you got yourself a war. that's just flight time vary the missions length add in a interactive war room or briefing room that allows for mission planning load out selection and you have a pretty solid setup. and if they are using AI game logic the AI reacts to User inputs and BDA. it can vary and randomize assets. based on theater operations, think Chess or the game Risk. AI has Options WIN Stalemate, or survive. do they commit assets in this theater and potentially lose them or retreat and fortify elsewhere. there is I think so much potential in map integration and a theater wide dynamic campaign setup. Sorry for the WALL of text...

Since it inst really that old compared to some other modules if they spent the time to re texture, I hope they'd Modify it into the F-5EM. and relegate the US based E model to FC3 level.
