crazyeddie Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 None of the VSN Aircraft Mods or the Beczl Vehicle Mods are now working in 1.5 after the latest update, have not been able to work out why. Anyone got any ideas ?
razo+r Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I'll report kobra from that Do you have any mods installed that might can cause trouble with it? Edited November 15, 2016 by razo+r

crazyeddie Posted November 15, 2016 Author Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks raz+r, I have pm's Kobra about it. I have loads of Mods installed, my game is VERY heavily modded, but I cannot figure out which if any Mod would be doing that, there does not appear to be any conflict with other Mods. My logs are showing they cant read the VSN edm's for the aircraft, and it only seems to be the 5 Beczl vehicles I have in my game that are not being seen, the Mission Editor goes black and the game freezes if I try to load any of them. I am still working at it but after 2 days I'm losing hope ... and the will to live ...
SkateZilla Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Correct, VSNs EDMs need to be exported w/ new Exporter.

crazyeddie Posted November 15, 2016 Author Posted November 15, 2016 Skate Sorry, I don't understand what that means, can you explain please. Eddie
NRG-Vampire Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 unfortunately attributions in the edm file extension has been changed
SkateZilla Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Skate Sorry, I don't understand what that means, can you explain please. Eddie Whoever has the Source Models for VSN has to Re-Export them using a newer Exporter Plugin for 3DS Max.

crazyeddie Posted November 15, 2016 Author Posted November 15, 2016 Okay Mate, thanks, I think I understand that now.
cdpkobra Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 All FC2 models have been converted to the "edModelViewer-60076" into the EDM. :cry:
uscstaylor Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Has anyone tried the F-18 I'm getting these weird white patches and I don't know why. They weren't there before the latest update...Anyone have the VSN or the Stingers F-18 mod please check to see if you have them too. thanks!

They weren't there before the latest update...Anyone have the VSN or the Stingers F-18 mod please check to see if you have them too. thanks! You've installed a mod which has an "empty.tga" file in it, which conflicts with something they pushed in 1.5.5 (or was part of a 1.5.5 update to one of the modules) I think BigNewy posted about it, but i can't find it now. --gos My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E

crazyeddie Posted November 16, 2016 Author Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Any skin folder where you have an empty or empty.tga reference you will have to go in and change every description to empty.png, they have changed how that works as well. Took me 3 days to sort all mine out then I discovered all the other changes I mentioned above. Something else I have noticed is my trees now appear to be one dimensional, a flat surface only and only painted on one side of that surface, so transparent on the other side whereas before they were two dimensional and painted on all surfaces, and it looks stupid. And of course the problem with the edm's is also affecting the older Ships Mods. My Kutznetzov and Lioning Mods no longer work, have not bothered to look further, its too damn depressing.

uscstaylor Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 Kobra Can you please fix the VSN F-18 D, E, F models they are in game but not showing up in the skins screen and I cant fly this game without those planes. I would be willing to pay/Donate anyone to fix them thanks
cdpkobra Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 All FC2 models have been converted to the "edModelViewer-60076" into the EDM. :cry: FC2 aircraft have the format "LOM" The converter "edModelViewer-60076" writes the LOM to an EDM format. This is from the year 2014 and is too old. I have no max files and can not patch.
uscstaylor Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 The only solution to remedy this is to roll back the version to 1.5.4.57288 like I did and I now have all my aircraft mods working again. I will not update this game anymore until these aircraft are back in the game...Use Skatezilla's GUI utility to roll your game back..I'm off to fly in my F-18F version...Salute! Thanks Skate!
crazyeddie Posted November 18, 2016 Author Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Thanks boys, everything is fully explained and there is only one solution for me as well, roll back. I can live without a couple of the older aircraft but the one dimensional tree lines does it for me, and I miss Beczl's vehicles as well.

razo+r Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Those planes will be very likely to not be seen again in the higher Versions due to changes, but who knows, maybe it's possible, maybe not
SkateZilla Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) It's not ED's responsibility to Update and/or Maintain 3rd Party Mods. The only way you'll see those mods in 1.5.5 plus is if the objects are re-exported from the Source 3DS Max File using the newer exporter. End of Story. ED is not going to Stop Updating the GFX Engine for the Sake of Maintaining compatibility with Models that were converted from FC2. The Priority is Finding Who has the Source 3DS Max Files, and either have them Re-Export, or have them send to someone to re-export them. For Example, I can re-Export them to the newest EDM Format.

crazyeddie Posted November 18, 2016 Author Posted November 18, 2016 I think we all know who is responsible for 3rd Party Mods, all that free time willingly given up for the benefit of the wider DCS community is hard to value, so lets not knock it too harshly, the game gains much from it and it would be very sad to think it was not valued by everyone. After all, we are all on the same side. :thumbup:
NRG-Vampire Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 hey Taylor, is that the old VNAO superbug on your screenshot ? looks great :thumbup: The only solution to remedy this is to roll back the version to 1.5.4.57288 like I did and I now have all my aircraft mods working again.
