Addon Tents, Watchtower, UH-1-Cargo

[upuaut]

The oilrig is fantastic but i have a massive FPS drop near it. From 60 to 24 over the helipad.

 

Hi,

 

I have nearly the same hardware, except that I use Win10 and a GTX960. My FPS drops from 60 to 50 over the helipad. With lower shadow settings I get more FPS.

But I will try to optimize it to get always 60 FPS.

[Esac_mirmidon]

That would be fantastic, because the Oilrig looks so good, specialy at night.

 

I play with shadows in High and Flat Shadows On. Maybe turning down shadows to medium would increase FPS.

I've rename these these 4 files like that is it good ?

 

single Helipad concrete -----> helipadSC

"single Helipad Marsden Matten" -----> marsden_helipad

single Helipad sand ------> sand_helipad

single Helipad concrete clear -----> concrete_clear_helipad

Upuaut please can you tell me if it's a mistake from me :helpsmilie:

Thanks again, Skull :thumbup:

Hi Skulleader,

 

which name do you want to change? The name in the Mission Editor or the name displayed in DCS?

 

For the name in the ME, it is in "db_units_ground.lua" the name in the brackets.

 

For display in DCS it is the name at the beginning of the line and also the name in "db_countries.lua".

 

The third name is the shape-name from the .edm file. And this name is also set in the "StructTable.sht".

Hello Upuaut,

 

In fact I have just changed these 4 names from my StructTable, db_countries.lua and db_units_ground.lua.

 

 

"single Helipad concrete clear", ----------------------> "concrete_clear_helipad"

"single Helipad concrete", ----------------------> "helipadSC"

"single Helipad Marsden Matten", ----------------------> "marsden_helipad"

"single Helipad sand", ----------------------> "sand_helipad"

 

 

Here my StructTable.sht:

Thanks again, Skull.

Hi Skulleader,

[upuaut]

Hi,

 

WIP addon replacement for the smokepod of the western airplanes.

Hi mondaysoff,

 

I have it tested on two PC with new installations of DCS and it works everytime.

Try the "helipads_only" file from dropbox if it works. You can also check the log files for errors.

 

Hi upuaut.

 

After a lengthy time away from DCS, I've got back to this and started afresh again as I couldn't remember where I left off. So I did a clean install and also cleared out my Dropbox and redownloaded your mods. I also put the contents of the " staddons" zip in the temp textures folder, now everything is running sweet.

 

Thank you for your time and effort.

[Red.01]

Just discovered this thread,Your mods are amazing brings so much life back into the game.Dcs need to hire you.

 

Great work keep them coming :thumbup:

[Esac_mirmidon]

Hi Upuaut.

 

The new 1.5.3 DCS version is incompatible with your helipads cargo mod.

 

If you could be so kind to take a look at it i will be very pleased.

 

PD: Nevermind, now the 2.0 version is working with 1.5.3 new folder structure.

 

Thanks,

It´s because folder terrain changes location. Now it is in Mods/terrains/CaucasusBase/Structures/High/EDM (location, where EDM files of cargomod should be placed)

[Esac_mirmidon]

It seems the 2.0 version works perfect in 1.5.3

 

Thanks for the tip.

[upuaut]

Hi all,

 

I have updated all addons. Weapon sound is now working for ships and structures. The Oilrig has a little FPS update.

[Skulleader]

Thanks Upuaut for your new work, please can you publish your Mod "Complete_upuaut_Mods" for DCS v1.5.3 Stable ?

A great thanks in advance, Skull.

Does the LOD files go there also?

[TwoLate]

I got it

[beynesairforce]

Hi Upuaut, really great add to the world of DCS (like Ranger's mod). I've installed your complete pack but i can't find all of your tent & towers .....

Hi beynesairforce,

 

you are right, the tents were missing. Download the "Complete_upuaut_Mods.exe" file, it's with the tents now.

[beynesairforce]

yeahhhhhhh thank you very much !!!! a lot of MB but very good

[Skulleader]

Upuaut a great thanks for your new "Complete_upuaut_Mods" it's really perfect now.

 

I would like to know if it's possible to have a second Mod with all your cargos elements but not for the Huey or Mi-8 sling load missions but just for add on the ground for a better rendering.

As the cargos communication menu is limited at few lines I would have one mod for the cargos (sling load) and the same mod but this time just for the rendering.

Do you know if it's possible ?

 

In advance a great thanks, Skull.

[upuaut]

Hi Skulleader,

 

uncheck "can be cargo" in the ME cargo menu, then you can place as much cargo as you want and it will not be shown in the cargo menu of the heli (F6).

[Esac_mirmidon]

Again this awesome mod isn´t compatible anymore with the new DCS 1.5.3 update.

 

Upuaut, if you could be so kind to take a look again i will really appreciate it.

[Aginor]

+1

this mod is a MUST.

 

And I'll borrow an often-heard phrase from the KSP community: "Should be stock." :)

[sniperwolfpk5]

I would suggest this mod should be merged with the actual ED build. That would be awesome
