Hello,

 

 

I tried to install the mod. But they wont show up. I read this tread alot.

 

 

 

I put it under Saved games/mod/tech

 

 

I put the main folder under it. Dont work

I put the VPC-Airfield Equipment 0.9.4 beta folder under it. Wont work

 

 

I did the same thing someone did in this tread. But it wont work for me. I using Beta.

 

 

Can some tell me again...where and how I use this mod.

 

 

Thanks

Can some tell me again...where and how I use this mod.

 

I put it on /Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Mods/tech/ ... tough your DCS folder may be named differently, mine is DCS.openbeta, so you have to check that:

 

 

If it is detected by DCS, it will show up on the Module Manager, as "VPC Airfield Equipment", like this:

 

 

Once installed, you can use the objects on the Mission Editor, they show up as static objects, under "Structures" and are prefixed with "VP", like this:

 

 

I suggest to use a Mod Manager to install, as this Mod may interfere when you want to play on Multiplayer ... on my case I use OvGME:

 

 

Best regards

[Ninjaviper]

Thanks Rudel. I will try that.

[Ninjaviper]

Didn't work. Not even with Generic mod enabler

 

 

It wont show in the ME.

 

 

 

It did show in the game on de installation menu.

[Rudel_chw]

Didn't work.

 

Sorry to hear that, I dont know what might be the problem :(

Since the last DCS update a few weeks ago. VPC Airfield Equipment shows in my Module Manager as normal, but none of the objects show in the Mission Editor Static Objects group for any country. I re-installed twice. Ran DCS re-pair. Each time it shows a normal install in the Modular Manager. But the objects are not listed in the Mission Editor available Static Objects. The same is happening with a few other Mods like NATO Ground. Just thought I would let you know.

They appeared back in the Mission Editor Static Objects line -up. Must be Gremlins or Ghosts. :huh:

Hello, any news for the IC ? :)

Hello, any news for the IC ? :)

 

Hello,

 

Sorry for the long wait .. I finally managed to establish which specific objects of this pack objects were producing IC conflict. Of course, I tried first to fix the objects textures, but I wasnt able to fix them.

 

So, I choose instead to simply delete those objects, they were:

 

1) Four versions of the Su-35

2) VP-BIG ANGAR

3) VP-ARZ

4) VP-ARZ (Mozdok)

 

Fortunately, you can still load Missions that used these objects .. they will just not appear on the mission, but their absence don't cause any errors and the Integrity Check remains green :)

 

New missions that you edit, wont be able to use those 4 objects .. but the vast majority of the Mod objects remain useable.

 

Here is my edited version of this Mod:

I've tried it on my own Server and it doesnt trigger the IC anymore, but if it still causes problems then please take note of the files indicated by the red shield and report here so I can take a look at it.

 

Best regards,

 

Eduardo.

Rudel_chw Exactly. These objects were used in the mods to replace default objects. If I update the mod, I will consider and change the names of the textures.

Hi, by any chance, are you this Mod's author? If so, sorry to be re-distributing an edited version of the Mod, was the only way I found to keep using this useful Mod even onb multiplayer. Hope you can fix it.

Best regards

I really enjoy that mod for creating missions - however, I'd like to place some of the objects (missile and gun trailers etc.) on aircraft carriers as well.

How could that be possible? In the similar "Navy Deck Crew Mod", the static units are listed as "aircraft". But I don't know how to do that. Does anyone know a solution?

Currently not possible, only aircraft and helo units are placeable on desk .. no static objects.

The "Deck Equipment" Units are static objects as well. But somehow, DCS lists them as aircraft. I dont think those yellow jackets can fly, so it should be possible to cheat DCS?

Same here, tried everything including different versions, but it just won't work. It makes Rudel's C-101 missions unusable too :(

[BlackLibrary]

they are planes that you can place them on deck.

the model is the same as the model from VP-Airflied.... mod.

try in the VPC_MAN NATO.lua remove the whole entry for VPC-NATO-MAN 1 (lines 1-30)

(make a backup!)

 

or remove them from the Deck mod, i think the problem ist that the game would load the model twice. As Ground vehicle and airplane

¿? The VPC mod works fine for me, so it should work for you too .. here is my own backup of it, so you can give it another try:

Still not working:

edit: I'm an idiot. Turns out it works if you put the mod in the saved games folder, rather than the main DCS folder. My bad.

Glad you got it working :) .. on a previous post I had shown where to put the mod:

You may want to use my own version of the mod, linked ona previous post, as I modified it in order to not trigger the IC and thus not impact on multiplayer.

For the Deck equipment, I made an entry treating those models as Airplanes in DCS which is the only way to be able to place them on the deck.

 

Try this mod for getting the weapons on the deck US Navy Bomb trailers, I've tried to get permission from the mod author to include their mod within the US Navy Deck Equipment mod but have not been able to contact them.
