AFAIK, Modman has not been updated in a long time (I have never used it) so it may not even work correctly. JSGME would be my choice and I think many here will agree.

JSGME absolutely.

Have you seen this thread?

 

The Ultimate DCS World JSGME Guide - If you use mods, you need this.

Definitely go with GME. Modman may install things correctly, but it hasn't been officially updated for DCS World so it does weird things and leaves large temp files if the mod uses DCS World unique paths (e.g. mods\aircrafts, Training, etc.). GME may not look as nice, but it does its job well.

Hey Guys,

 

I have downloaded the A-10C Basic flight Training qualification Campaign mod.

 

However I have been trying to place it in the programme file of Eagle Dynamics/DCS World Open Beta/ Mods/ Aircrafts/ A-10C/ Missions/ EN/ Campaign.

 

it shows up in the game but does nothing, any help would on where I should be placing the file?

thanks guys.

I put missions and campaigns in C:\Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Missions\ and C:\Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Missions\Campaigns\.

 

But they should have ran from where you placed them I think.

As other have stated Modman isn't supported anymore and can be a bit tricky to get installed correctly for DCS World. Having said that though, I have bucked the norm and I am still using it for all of my mods and it generally works well.

 

I will probably move over to Jmge when I can be fussed with converting all of the mods, I would recommend new comers use JMGE for its simplicity only.

 

Cheers, Ian.
