grunf Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 The Hawk is unfortunately no longer available, but it still sits in the hard drive, wasting space. How do I remove it? As far as I can see, there are Hawk folders in DCS World Open Beta/mods/aircraft/, and saved games/DCS.openbeta/config/input There's also a registry key. Is it safe to just delete these folders and key? Is there anything else I missed?
Mars Exulte Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 By using the module manager on the main menu and uninstalling it. Same way you do anything else with your modules. Alternatively, I believe you can use Skate's updater UI. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
grunf Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 In latest open beta Hawk is no longer in Module manager. I'll give Skate's updater UI a try, thanks.
Mars Exulte Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 You know it's still an AI unit, right? It's not flyable, but it did not magically disappear. If you just whack directories you'll probably break it. It's also not very big, so hardly an issue. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
Vander Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Not very big? Mine was sitting at half a GB!!! (and that was AFTER I had removed the module). I was glad to be able to remove that mods folder, wasting precious SSD space..

If you just whack directories you'll probably break it. It's also not very big, so hardly an issue. It has a folder in dcs folder\CoreMods\aircraft\Hawk , so that has the plane model for AI use etc 787MB Probably safe to delete dcs folder\Mods\aircraft\Hawk and save 3.2GB of space Edited January 6, 2019 by HC_Official No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .
crazyeddie Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 When you run the next update it will probably all be put back in again !!
grunf Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 When you run the next update it will probably all be put back in again !! I hope not, that wouldn't make any sense if we can't fly it. In fact, I was hoping that the Hawk files would be deleted with the update that disabled it.

Beta Sokol Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Another question : is it possible to move the two folders into savedgames/mods/aircraft folder and keep it as a mod ?

That's an interesting question...... I don't see why you couldn't. Never tried anything like that, though Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
uboats Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 hawk cannot be flyable since the dll is out of date and cannot be loaded by latest dcs. So even you put them under saved game, no go except for AI.

So even you put them under saved game, no go except for AI. Well, that's true. I was meaning in general :P I guess you could move an aircraft module to the saved games folder, and it should still work theoretically, although I've never tried to do that. It wouldn't add missing capability, as you say, but whatever is "there" should still work normally, I think. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2

So even you put them under saved game, no go except for AI. So what´s the difference to all the other flyable mods, working since 1.1 (and adapted for 2.5) ?
Mizzy Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I found if you delete the Hawk it is deleted but if you don't, it's still there but non deleted. if you didn't delete it, best thing is to make a non deleted Hawk delectable and then delete. Or just get rid ! Mizz
uboats Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 So what´s the difference to all the other flyable mods, working since 1.1 (and adapted for 2.5) ? Those mods use other modules or dcs’s dlls which are always latest and compatible.

shagrat Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 So what´s the difference to all the other flyable mods, working since 1.1 (and adapted for 2.5) ?The other modules get compiled by their developers for a new DCS release, creating a "compatible" dll. As VEAO is no longer compiling it and ED does not have access to the source code... dead lock.

johnv2pt0 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 So, how do I get rid of this 3.2GB of not needed hawk? It's not in module manager...deleting the folder ( MODS\aircraft\Hawk) and repairing just puts it back.
