Kenta Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 how do you migrate the smoke effects from mustangs to starways? If you use JSGME or OvGME (doesn't really matter) just copy Bazar\ParticleEffects from Mustangs mod into your Starways mod folder. Do not forget to first disable the mod, add the folder with the contents and then enable the mod again. That's it. If you need more assistance, feel free to contact me using private messages. Failure is the mother of all success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitness88 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I can't fly most mulit-player servers because I get 'not pure' in multi-player caused from your shadows.lua file. I really like the shadows affect and don't want to go back to the DCS stock file. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitness88 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Fitness just copy the shadows file from your DCS install to the appropriate place in the mod file. Yes I can do that but as mentioned I really like the affect the mod shadows provided. I thought I could edit a line or two if it was a small matter. But I guess I have no choice if it's the entire file. Edit: I can't seem to see the difference so I'll stay with the DCS file.

uboats Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 as I suggested before, texture files should not be packed into zip, but instead, they should be saved in a folder with same name of the zip file. Then the dds files in folder can override those in the zip file.

Coxy_99 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I think there protecting all the models and files across the board including terrain, Shame because any texture mod is better than vanilla, I hope theres a 2.5 release with all new textures very soon.

uboats Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Hmm i'll give this a go once 1.5.7 comes to release version, fingers crossed :) (just hope ED doesn't figure out a way to block this too) if IC also monitors those config lua files for terrain, then this does not help (but at least, repair will not touch those huge texture files). I cannot figure out how to move those terrain config, view config to autoexec.cfg.

uboats Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 just read this https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=183175&page=6 if this is true, then the IC not only checks modification of original files, but also new files in those folders ... then no solution :( will test tonight [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My DCS Mods, Skins, Utilities and Scripts | Windows 10 | i7-4790K | GTX 980Ti Hybrid | 32GB RAM | 3TB SSD | | TM Warthog Stick | CH Pro Throttle + Pro Pedal | TIR5 Pro | TM MFD Cougar | Gun Camera: PrtScn | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 i think terrain mods failing IC is an intended function, as some terrain texture mods make it easier to spot targets etc. Which is a good thing for VR users I'd say. It's not the reason why I have texture mods installed, but I'll take anything that helps.

StandingCow Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 i think terrain mods failing IC is an intended function, as some terrain texture mods make it easier to spot targets etc. That kinda sucks for the A-10C TGP folks... without terrain mods it is REALLY difficult to locate ground targets at times.

mastersetter Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I have found that some of these mods are in fact a lot worse due to excessive noise, in some cases double that of the default textures.. I have seen noise levels at 1.0 in some mods whereas default is 0.5 or 0.6 I think? Values at 1.0 make the tgp useless for me.. once edited down it's more manageable but still nowhere near what it should be.. hope the tgp is fixed soon too. i5-7600K @ 4.8 | 32GB | 1080 | Rift S | TM MFD & WH HOTAS-10mm ext + TFRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltensegler Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Yeah Starways is really bad for TGP spotting and yet worth it. @uBoats: you mean the GSGME textures as e.g. folders called "LandTextures.zip" and then the content replaces the zip files? even if that works, what about all the files that go into "config"? 4790K@4,6Ghz | EVGA Z97 Classified | 32GB @ 2400Mhz | Titan X hydro copper| SSD 850 PRO ____________________________________ Moments in DCS: --> https://www.youtube.com/user/weltensegLA --> WELD's cockpit: --> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=92274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadunn1700 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Issues with Mirrors and TGP with Starway Mod I've used Starway DCS mod for a long time. Quit playing DCS for awhile and just came back. I removed all mods activated by JSGME. Updated DCS to the newest version. Performed the JSGME file backup. Downloaded the newest version of the Starway DCS mod via Starway's website. Activated the mod via JSGME. Everything works perfectly except that I no longer get a picture in the Targeting Pod or the rear view mirrors. Anybody have this issue? I can do without the rear view mirrors, but in the A-10C I have to disable Starway's mod in order to fly it as the TGP is essential. Sucks going back to the original textures after using this mod for so long. Edited August 20, 2017 by dadunn1700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviators Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 this mod is dead? L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
