Before the update is edited I would like to clear some things up.

 

Stabiliser and ELEVATOR angles are fixed (absolute, relative, whatever... :) ) so very minor changes in trim range occured as a result. The range is a little bit wider now.

 

Tail wheel lock point was set exactly as it must be (referring the elevator angle).

nope it make another /Aircraft/ Folder (without the "S") on the end in the same place as the old /Aircrafts/ Folder.
Okay cool. I just want to save as much data as I can since I'm currently not running on adsl.

Can we have an immediate hotfix to rename mods\aircraft back to aircrafts please?

 

I hope this was a mistake and someone didn't just decide aircraft sounded better and didn't stop to think of all the problems changing it would cause, such as making tools like EMC stop working and all our JSGME-mod folders require renaming of that folder, which will take ages to do one by one.

 

If there isn't going to be an immediate hotfix, can someone please tell me how to downgrade to the previous version so that I can enable my mods for my online session tonight?

I'm having the image.png missing file issue as well.

 

It looks as if either the server at ED's end or the update package is missing the file as part of the download manifest, as the file is certainly missing from the _downloads section.

 

The file does certainly exist though, it's in the backup folders.

 

See here, might help:

No, aircrafts isnt a word, this is a fix of a legacy typo. They wont roll it back I am sure.

 

Can we have an immediate hotfix to rename mods\aircraft back to aircrafts please?

I was able to get the update to work, only after I had uninstalled the training material. I did this for _every_ module that I could perform this task with FC3, BS2, Su-25T etc. Might have only been necessary for the Su-25T ?? Anyway, once I uninstalled the training material, I was then able to run Update DCS World without a hitch, and subsequently install the MIG release too.

 

I noticed that the folder structure is now:

../aircrafts = FW-190D9 , Mi-8MTV2 , Uh-1H (These folders contain various sub folders which are all empty), so this might be as a result of the failed updates?

../aircraft = A-10C , F-86 , Flaming Cliffs , FW-190D9 , Ka-50 , Mi-8MTV2 , MiG-21BIS , P-51D , Su-25T , TF-51D Uh-1H

Well hows that for customer service! Who cares whether a folder name is a typo, compared to breaking all our mods/tools and requiring untold man-hours to sort it all out.

Customer service? Did ED makes these mods? I dont think they are responsible for you altering their sim. Everyone is aware of the troubles that may arise when installing mods, and EDs dev team has enough to do without trying to test for thousands of variations of mod installations... come on...

This change benefits no-one though. Quite the contrary.

 

I've tried downgrading with "dcs_updater update :1.2.10.30996.495" but it keeps throwing up an error "ERROR: Can't move S:\Games\DCS World\_downloads\Mods/aircrafts/Su-25T/Cockpit/Resources/Model/Shape/Cockpit_Su-25T.EDM to S:\Games\DCS World\Mods/aircrafts/Su-25T/Cockpit/Resources/Model/Shape/Cockpit_Su-25T.EDM: (3) The system cannot find the path specified."

 

Something weird's going on, as I renamed aircraft to aircrafts before running the updater to downgrade but a lot of the files now appear to be hardlinks and link back to themselves and to files in the Recycle bin.

That might be true,, but some of us have no idea what to do when we know if we update, we are going to have problems we dont understand how to fix. The forums have exploded with discussion on this and so far I have read thru it all, and personally, my head is spinning, I dont know what to do! Fortunately, I have not updated yet, so the bottom line for guys like me are to wait and see if somet type of quick fix will evolve to avoid problems from this update, or a formal "How too" will be provided?

 

I am just looking to update and fly, thats all,,,

Yeah and I have enough to do without having to spend hours editing all my mods and finding workarounds for the tools that no longer work because someone couldn't live with an incorrectly named folder and just had to rename it, regardless of the difficulties it would cause users. Shows total disregard for customers.

How many mods do you use?

 

I have ... dunno, the whole list full in JSMGE - maybe 20? That is 20 times pressing F2 to rename a folder. (use the windows search in your mods folder for "aircrafts"). Time estimation: 5 minutes.

 

edit:

but fwiw, I agree that such a change was not really necessary. This is the internal structure, nobody interested in spelling errors should look at stuff like that anyways. That is like fixing spelling errors in source code comments (way to go, ED! ;o)

No, it's responsible for renaming a folder that causes it's customers untold amounts of grief though.

I copied my aircarfts folder and renamed it aircraft so I have both before updating and it's still DLing all of the modules.

About the whole dir thing. Why dont you guys make yourselves a symbolic link :

 

(if needed move stuff from Aircrafts to Aircraft first and remove the empty dir)

mklink /D "<path to Aircraft>" "<path to Aircrafts>"

 

Problem solved, or no?
