I am working on a new helicopter for X-Plane and it takes all of my time. When I have more time I will come back to this MOD and fix if I can.

 

Hello,

 

I hope you are doing fine, tough I see that it's been several months since your last visit to the Forum.

 

I'm engaged on editing a few missions for the I-16 set at Normandy, and found that the airfields on this Map have no lights at the runways :(

 

Looking for a workaround, I tried to use the lights that you provide on this Pack and they do work nicely when I'm near them .. but at a longer distance they dissapear, for example here I can only see the lights on half of the runway, the far end lights cant be seen:

Please, if you return to this Mod, can you increase the lights range?

Thanks a lot,

 

 

Eduardo

was wondering if someone could help me out? I know how to add objects in ME but, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I unpack and place the main folder "civil_objects", into my

 

C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech folder and still I can't access the objects from ME. I have checked in every category multiple times but nothing. I really want to build some missions and use this pack but am having no luck. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thanx

You are doing the right thing, do you have multiple installs of DCS?

 

Check that the name of the folder in saved games matches the name in the file called "dcs_variant.txt" in the main game install directory.

Thanx for the help Ben, sorry it took so long to get back to you. I just cleaned out the mods/tech folder, unpacked the downloaded objects again and placed them back in the folder and when I checked ME, they were available this time. So I don't know what was going on, just glad it's fixed.

Hi

 

 

I see the 2.5.6 coming very soon and I'm very afraid that your mod ( and many other mods) willn't work anymore.

I was right to be afraid

 

 

This mod now crashes DCS 2.5.6 if used in a mission.

The reason of crash of the mission is lack of the file:

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\shaders\model\fake_spot_lights.fx

 

If anybody has the original file from previous version, please let it be attached.

I will try to remove civil_objects when mission editor will open the MIZ file.

Thanks. I will try this this. Meantime I reverted to 2.5.5. and removed Civil_objects and renwed to 2.5.6 again. My old mission still does not load. It is hanged on loading on vanilla 2.5.6.

I will keep you informed.

Adding the file in

 

DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\shaders\model\fake_spot_lights.fx

changes nothing for me.

 

 

The vehicles of the Civil-Objects continue to work in 2.5.6 but the fact of using the buildings and the helipads, is crashing DCS.

Finally I had 2 problems, lack of the file which Ironhand was kind to upload and I had 2 tankers on my mission. One for Blue and one for red. When I removed russian KC-130 mission is loaded.

It was working before.

thanks for uploading the file Ironhand, Have a quite big personal mission. The mission loads well (and can play it) but when I try to open it with the editor this error appears and DCS go to desktop.

I placed the "fake_spot_lights.fx" at the DCS folder at suggested. Still the same. Please any tip to can fix? Really can be sad for me if I lost many of the missions builded in the past. Thanks!

 

Update : Kind of fixed it !! Instead of using the file Ironhand kindly upload I copy / paste the actual 2.5.6 "fake_spot_lights2.fx" and rename it like "fake_spot_lights.fx" now the editor loads without the DX11 error and I can "clean" the mission of mod objects (unfortunately cos they were great) I will do that like a temporary fix for can keep editing the mission (will save the full one for future use -hope so-) (btw sorry for my "english") Good luck to all with the old & good pre 2.5.6 mission editing.

Hi Joe,

 

I have DCS on my D drive which has the Mods/tech files, not under C drive which has USER/Name/ etc.

 

I extracted the files to the D drive Mods/Tech and none of the stuff shows up. I am running 2.5.6 - Can you help me sort this out please.
