Found some mistakes on the center console.

One number on the Standby Attitude Indicator, and one screw on top off the Digital Clock

Thank you.

v1.2.5 - Removed a forgotten screw texture over the digital compass, and replaced "3" digits on SAI. Thanks to Bummer (09/2017).

Hello Devrim.

 

 

I have a question about some lines that are visible on some panels.

I believe it has to do something with the A-10C-CPT-BOARDS-TXTDAY file.

Do you have any idea how to remove these, or why they are there.

Edited September 25, 2017 by Bummer
Fixed.

[Devrim]

And again, a good catch from Bummer.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

The alpha channel background color of the original texture is a true black (#000000), but in Ric's mod, the background color is not exact black. I get #060606 and #070707 values from place to place.

 

Ok. What they say... Determining the cause is the half way of the solution. :)

 

I'll fix and update the mod.

 

Thanks again.

[Bummer]

Amazing how you can fix them so quickly, great work Devrim.

Latest 2.0+ placed folder into liveries and in game in special the a10c has only default cockpit. Speed read through the post and might have missed something but any help welcomed. Thanks...:)

[Devrim]

You did put Liveries folder in DCS folder (in Saved Games), right?

 

or what?

[JIMJAM]

I have a DCS folder and a DCS.openalpha. It went into the 1st one. There is no .openalpha which tbo I do not recall if I am running. DCS is 300+ megs and openalpha is 200 megs.

 

Do I need to create a LIVERIES folder in the openalpha? Going to try and see what happens.

 

**** YES. The liveries went into the openalpha and it works.:thumbup: Hopefully this will help someone in the future.

 

This explains a lot and why some user files I recently tried did not work. I have a pet peeve about right off the showroom floor aircraft and really appreciate your time/effort in weathering the interior. Thanks, JIMJAM

Ok, but in ReadMe.txt file, it says;

 

+--------------+

| INSTALLATION |

+--------------+

 

Open the zip (mod) file.

Copy (or hold & drag) "Liveries" folder (from the mod zip) into "C:\Users\{your-user-name}\Saved Games\DCS" folder and overwrite.

 

Is this not clear for installing the mod?

 

I ask this, because English is not my native language. If instruction is not clear, please let me know how to correct it for other players.

 

Thanks in advance. :)

[JIMJAM]

I had 2 folders in my saved games folder. One was DCS. Thats the one I and the instructions say to place it in. Did not show up in game.

The second folder is DCS.openalpha

I assume thats a ALPHA version.

My install was done LATE at night as is rather long. Also there are many patches automatically added. That said, I have no clue but when placed into the .openalpha folder your mod worked.

Maybe someone can chime in but either I have a unique install or others already know this.

[Devrim]

Thank you UNABLE.

 

I had 2 folders in my saved games folder...

That' right. There're two DCS folder in my Saved Games folder too.

 

DCS (v1.5 Stable Version), and DCS.openalpha (v2.1), and maybe some friends have DCS.openbeta (v1.5 OB version).

 

But it doesn't matter. If you copy Liveries folder in any DCS.xxx folder, the mod will be ready for selecting in OPTIONS/SPECIAL screen. If you can't see the mod in Customized Cockpit menu, that means there's something wrong with your installation.

Just getting around to putting all of your wonderful english cockpit mods into DCSW 1.57.10175 using the pull downs in the special menu to choose language of cockpit.

 

Yes your instructions are very clear and I have never had a problem with installing any of your mods, I have installed all of your english cockpit mods into my DCS "User Saved Games" directory and all but one work correctly:

 

• c:\Users\Ian\Saved Games\Dcs\Liveries\
  

However the "Ricardo A-10c HD v1.2.6" one does not have the new option in the pull down in special menu to select other than default, I have double checked the directories, names, etc, but it just fails to work.

 

• c:\Users\Ian\Saved Games\Dcs\Liveries\A10C-CPT\
  

Is DCS just broken or is there something else a foot.

 

PS:

 

If I install the A-10c Ricardo HD cockpit the old way, in the games own liveries folder it works as advertised, but not from the "User Saved Games" directory structure. I would like to have it work the later way.

 

Update to why this mod was not working in the saved game folders:

• Turns out my file / directory manager (Total commander) had an option turned on that when I create a directory would change the name of the directory to Uppercase for the first letter and lowercase all the other letters, ie A10c-cpt, this must be in all Uppercase: ie A10C-CPT or it doesn't work.
  

Regards, Ian.

Found the source of my issues

[Bummer]

Maybe something to check and put on a to do list.

 

 

[Devrim]

Thanks again Bummer.

I'll fix it.

[Bummer]

Something about the reflections on the RWR display and the Airspeed indicator looks not how it supposed to be.

The left part of the picture is how it is now, and the right side how I think that it should look like. (like on the MFD)

I had this same issue. I fixed it by putting the "Liveries" folder into all 3 "DCS" folders in the Saved Games folder.

[Devrim]

...I fixed it by putting the "Liveries" folder into all 3 "DCS" folders in the Saved Games folder.

That's what ReadMe.txt says already.

[Zarma]

Isnt this cockpit the same as the one in DCS ?

[TheBamse]

Very much not. It's higher fidelity and worn, like someone's actually been using the aircraft and so on.

It's very very nice! :D

[Zarma]

in DCS A10C's options you can change the cockpit for a Ricardo one. What's the difference with this one ?

[Devrim]

This one is Ricardo one. :)

 

ED doesn't provide DCS with Ricardo's mod.

It must be you installed this mod before.

I would say it is not clear. By following the instructions to the letter, I did not have the Ricardo option in my setup screen.

 

To remedy this, I copied the files to all 3 folders. The readme instructions only refer to 1 folder.

 

Not trying to split hairs but that's how I got it to work.
