Community A-4E-C

[Baldrick33]

It needs to go in your Saved Games\[DCS]\Mods\Aircraft folder rather than the DCS installation folders. This may be the issue?

[Helles Belle]

Forget modman.

just install it as per the instructions and it’ll work fine.

Thank you for your interest in my problem.

I understood that we had to put Community A4-E-C in E: \ Users \ ROUJANSKY \ Documents \ Saved Games \ DCS \ Mods \ aircraft.

What I cannot understand Is how to make DCS 2.7 recognize the E: \ Users \ ROUJANSKY \ Documents \ Saved Games \ DCS \ Mods \ aircraft folder ?

Thank you for your understanding and for your help !

If I may... I think your problem is you have "Documents" in the path.

My A-4 is in C:\Users|My name\Saved games\DCS\Mods\Aircraft\A-4E-C

Yes, "Saved Games" is a hard-coded Windows entity, found in the users home folder (the folder with the same name as the user's user-id (name), "ROUJANSKY" in this case.

Marcstrasm, you will most likely find your home folder on your system disk, where Windows is installed; eg "C:\Users\ROUJANSKY". Navigate to there to find the Windows "Saved Games", which is where many games place their user-specific files, including DCS. You will find a folder there named "DCS" or "DCS.openbeta" or both, depending on which DCS you have installed.

You can change the location of your Saved Games folder it's easy. How did I do ? First I create a "Saved Games" folder in F:\ for me, 2- Right clic on your Saved Games In C:\ => Property => Location => See screenshot (sorry Windows in french) and DCS will find new Saved Games folder.

Hello !

By editing a mission and opening the explorer I was able to determine where Saved Games was installed when DCS was saving the file.

Marc

I wasn't aware you could do that with Saved Games, thanks!

Apologies if this is a repeat comment but it seems to me the pilot size in the A-4 module is too small for the aircraft.  Here is the DCS pilot compared with an actual group of pilots for comparison:

@Nozzle best way is to open a ticket at https://github.com/heclak/community-a4e-c/issues

But if you notice, the pilots in lower picture are all sitting up straight, not laid back in seat like your top example pic.

2.0 RC3 is out. Just a repost.

 

And...oh no!

Just try RC3, But I cannot communicate with AI wing man. No wing man option in the communicate menu. No this issue in RC2. Do I missed any setting?

A clear error message, that tells you exactly what to do... and you don't run into a heart attack...

It is just a report, no big deal. Developers alerted. What do you expect?

[BIGNEWY]

thanks

Thanks, but we are aware given that we wrote the message. Unfortunately after sending a very detailed defect report to ED I think this defect has been shelved or considered low priority (which is fine). So we have to resort to this otherwise users may attribute the strange behaviours associated with the memory corruption as behaviours or inaccuracies of the model itself.

I have posted the message to the respective mods, too.  Thank you for taking time and respond.  Keep up the good work.

We already made them aware, but thanks for your concern.

So, in my experience so far, only the AIM 9b ever finds a lock for air-to-air (against a MiG-21). Is that normal for this stage of the mod?
Also, any tips on preventing the aircraft from suddenly whipping around (perfect yaw rotation) and flying backwards for a bit? That tends to cause the aircraft to drop and I'd prefer to stay in the air.

I'm also occasionally experiencing sudden loss of speed when diving (and it's not just the aircraft over-speeding and making the speedo look like it's slow, I actually start falling slower).

Basically, to anyone who knows the flight characteristics, is that normal? I started out being able to consistently keep a one circle with the MiGs, but now the A4 randomly breaks the physics without any consistent feedback. Maybe I'm just a bad pilot, but I find it strange that the more experience I get the weirder the things happen. No, I'm not demanding an instant fix. I just want to know where I went wrong or if this is normal for the mod at this stage.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer this/help me out.

Does anybody know what may be causing this, alongside issues with mapping controls like thrust? 

[Frederf]

Did you merge the old and new folders together?

Why was nosewheel steering removed? Just wondering.

Because the real aircraft doesn't have it
