Thanks You have the good version, the mod has not/will not be updated The only thing you can do is to edit the mission to disable mod needed: 1-after saving original mission open the .miz with WinRAR 2-open the file "mission" with Notepad++ 3-edit/delete the section "[requieredModules]" to "--end of [requiredModules] you can now open it in ME 4-edit your mission, then save it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I downloaded the mission and I saw police car on screenshot (I don't have Syria map) the only thing you have to do (I thiink) is to replace police cars with another vehicle unarmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvgWhiteGuy Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 @Morpheus.....thanks very much for your help and extensive instructions for a fix. I learned a lot about missions, MIZ and LUAs in this little exercise. Really appreciate the schooling.

You probably are using version 1.4 of the Mod ... the beta of version 2.0 does include an Icon, like this: You could modify your version 1.4 to have the same icon, but it is easier if you just upgrade to the version 2.0 ... get it on the project Discord: https://discord.gg/tVP8sn3c Best regards Edited August 19, 2021 by Rudel_chw 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey45 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 How is the folder structure laid out?? If you want I can have a look? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Razorback Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hi Guys, I have a problem with the installation of my mods on a new PC and I confess I don't understand the problem. I have since a few days a brand new gaming computer and I have completely reinstalled DCS open Beta, SRS, Tacview,... Everything works fine. Then I transferred my missions (created with the mission editor) as well as the mods I was using on my old PC to the appropriate file on my new PC (savedGames/DCS Openbeta/Mods/Tech). The missions are displayed normally for loading but apparently it doesn't recognize any of the installed Mods even though they are exactly where they should be... How is it possible ? Many thxx for your help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkk01 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Any advice??? All but one of my mods have disappeared from the ME and the main menu… The T-45 Goshawk mod works fine, but a whole fleet of ship mods no longer appear I have checked file paths and everything seems to be in order. The only thing I can think of is that I re-downloaded my OB version. Originally I had OB on C:\ and Release on a separate SSD. As C:\ was getting too full I deleted the release version and moved OB to that drive. HOWEVER, I had already deleted mods (C:\Users\etc) to try and save space and only copied the back once I had moved the OB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvgWhiteGuy Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) This whole process of installing Mods is still confusing to me and I'm thoroughly baffled as to why my results suck! I'm trying to install the Miniguns (UH-60L Mod - Version 2.4_3) for the MH-60L Mod and get nowhere, I'm still not seeing anything different in the weapons loadout portion of ME. I'm using OvGME but I'm uncertain if have the correct directories. I have the DCS main installation on a dedicated, separate SSD as in: D:\Eagle Dynamics , NOT on my C:\ drive I have all the Mods in a different file folder as in: D:\DCS Eagle Dynamics Stuff\MODS I have OvGME specifying it's directories as image below. Am I in the right direction here? And what if I were to DELETE the \Mods folder as in: C:\Users\major\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods ??? Would that mess up everything? For that matter would deleting the entire DCS.openbeta folder from Saved games screw me up completely or will DCS just create another structure there? Might be a fresh start??? If someone can advise and perhaps someone has a doc explaining the structure of the \Mods folder when adding new mods it would be greatly appreciated. I'm losing my mind over this and at my age it doesn't take much.

Cukrrak Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Using OvGME for the saved games folder is kind of pointless unless you want to have a quick for way to enable/disable mods. Mods that go into saved games folder are usually copied directly to mods/aircraft or mods/tech and OvGME is used for mods that go into main dcs fodler. If you want to use OvGME, make sure to enable the minigun mod only after you enable the UH-60 mod to replace original files in the mods/aircraft/UH-60L folder. Also, don't delete the the dcs folder from the saved games unless you don't mind setting up all your settings and controls again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
