I presume he's talking about the liveries.

+1

Yes.

As of July 01, 2025, Spring 2025 signups are now closed as we transition to our next campaign execution.

Amazing work! Would love to have a Royal Norwegian Air Force livery included.

Works for me, both command line and GUI methods. USA English version.

With the latest build you posted last night, I'm seeing a small puff about 300 - 500 meters above ground units when they do a cookoff effect. Could also be related to ground unit explode on death logic.

Did you set the appropriate booleans? ["ordnance_protection"] = true, --Toggle ordinance protection features ["ordnance_protection_radius"] = 10, --Distance in meters to protect nearby bombs ["detect_ordnance_destruction"] = true, --Toggle detection of ordnance destroyed by large explosions

Use this one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3333894/

Keep on keepin' on. It's great, plus people can toggle off what they don't want.

For anyone who comes along to this thread later, Stratos alluded to a caliber fix, but it's not posted here. I went ahead and fixed some things in this mod. I did not fix the combined arms first person view since I don't use it. These go into the Database\Weapons\ subdirectory and overwrite what's there. ZPU_2.luaZPU_1.lua

What do you need help with?

Discord invite doesn't seem to work. Can you post the latest version?

Why don't you upload your current version of your FARP template for others?

I have it on good authority they'll be out in two weeks.

Someone didn't read the new FAQ.

You have a Buccaneer AI mod? Where can one acquire that?

Demanding, entitled attitudes maybe?

Yes, please!

Would love those civilian planes to be available as AI assets for civilian air traffic.

The VSN_F4 is the one that was hosing up spawning ground units and ships. Removed that, and magically everything worked again. To get head of any other problems with future patches, I also started just axing a lot of modern platforms (e.g., Su-30 mod) as DCS Academy is shifting wholesale to Cold War. I heard other folks were having issues with the Su-30 mod and they removed that to fix their issues with this patch. I had already removed it as part of my "remove modern aircraft mods" doctrine to ease my pain with this patch and future mod maintenance as DCS Academy won't be using those mods for quite a while.

Not really. Simply remove mods and add them back using a binary search method to winnow down the list of mods which are causing issues. It's not hard -- it just takes time. Took me about an hour this morning to nail down which mods were causing the issues.

It is, and it's mods other than CH's mods causing the issues.

It is not. It's the VSN_F4 mod, as the post says, and I've confirmed myself independently before this author even posted this information.
