JHzlwd Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I have had DCS World and the Ka50/P51/A-10 modules ever since they came out and play regularly. The other day I decided to go for FC3 and the F-15C. these installed without problem and the Module Manager shows F-15C serial number. What puzzles me is this : When I launch DCS World there is an FC3 icon but none for F-15C. If I choose FC3 and set wallpaper there is an image of F-15 but if I fly a training mission (for example) I am not in an F-15 but something else (could be frogfoot). There does n ot seem to be a way to choose the F-15. Shouldn't there be an F-15 icon to choose just like for Ka-50, A10C and my other purchased modules? Evidently I have missed some step in the installation process. Recommendations appreciated.

Roadrunner Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 hi, if you own FC3, you do not need F-15C stand alone module. if FC3 is installed, the F-15C icon will be gone, because you already bought it with FC3 you will realise, that the SU-25A and A-10A icons are gone as well, as they are also included in FC3. regards, RR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.

Lange_666 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I have FC3, i don't have the A-10A and the Su-25 icon anymore but i do have a grey F-15C icon. So...? Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

tsumikae Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I have FC3, i don't have the A-10A and the Su-25 icon anymore but i do have a grey F-15C icon. So...? That's a simple UI bug, specific to 1.2.8 and the introduction of the standalone F-15C. If you own FC3, you own the F15C as part of the whole module.
JHzlwd Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Thanks. I find F-15C in the drop-down list for Flight Controls and also the Mission Builder so no problem. I do, however, have icons for purchased A-10 and P-51 along the bottom of the startup screen so it's a bit inconsistent - probably the result of making FC3 a module within DCS World.

Weta43 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 A-10C is a module (gets an icon), P-51 counts as a module (gets an icon), Su-25 installed as a standalone, or F-15 installed as a standalone, count as modules, and get icons (Huey, Mi-8 etc). FC3 is a module, and gets an icon, but installing FC3 'swallows' any pre-installed smaller F-15 or Su-25 modules into the FC3 module, and once installed makes the purchase of either redundant, so their icons don't (shouldn't) display, only the 'master' FC3 module... Cheers.
