ApoNOOB Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Trying this out and a few cockpits work this way. (Devrim Mi8, Su27, Su33, BS2, Su25T & Casper F15) But I am having trouble with a few others (Gazelle, Mirage, Viggen & MiG21) in those cockpits there is an additional (or more) folder besides the livery one and I am confused how to work around this. Anyone got any progress on this?

drack Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) *******(Have got this working now. I'm sure I have deleted the Savegames file a couple of times and rebuilt it but it worked this morning. Many thanks to anyone who tried to help. Enjoy the BestAirfields.Mis file :))******** Ive tried all the sugestions here and still cant get the only two mods I use to work (Ranger's objects and airfield equipment). Even tried a manual install. It just does not see them in the saved games folder. Lets hope some one comes up with an easy way to add mods. Ive lost my best .miz file where I have populated the airfields until then. :( (Have attached my log file in the hope someone might be able to spot the error)Best Airfields.rardcs.rar Edited August 28, 2017 by drack
Torso Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Kicking this thread because I was curious if those who had this issue have resolved it? I am at a loss as to why I cannot use mods in DCS 2.1. I am trying to use Civil Aircraft Mod and VPC equipment/assets mod in 2.1 and they show in the Module Manager(green check, active), but not in game. Nothing in the ME, no icon in the icon list at bottom. Put them in the following dir C:\Users\Torso\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Mods As supposed to do, but DCS 2.1 just acts like nothing is there. I have none of these issues with 1.5. Mods placed in its dir are seen and work. But not 2.1. I know others use these 2 exact mods in 2.1 without issue. Everything just says, put them in the Mod folder in the saved games dir...great, but DCS does not even see them. Again my Mod folder path is C:\Users\Torso\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Mods (I noticed everyone in the thread was typing the paths like /saved games/DCS.XXXXX/..etc. I just assume everyone is makin a typo on the \). Is there some file that holds the path to mods(the saved games dir) for 2.1 that I can confirm is set correctly? Somewhere it must be set to look in that dir..or another as seems to be the case as it seems that DCS 2.1 is blind to it. Maybe it is set somewhere to look elsewhere for mods. I am at a loss right now. I looked at several files(entry.lua..etc) and saw references to "dirName = current_mod_path". This seems like it is calling a stored path file to the mods dir. Where is that path file stored so I can check it it actually points to the saved games dir? Why does the Module Manager in 2.1 see them but the actual game itself does not. Seems odd it see's it but then does not in game. Edited October 23, 2017 by Torso
