Installed the latest version of the skyhawk and I seem to have some graphic issues with the HUD and the kneeboard.  See the picture.  Also, my kneeboard does not seem to include the 6 pages that are listed in the update.  Where are they located?

You have most likely installed it incorrectly, given that you seem to have a mix match between old and new assets. You need to completely delete the A-4E-C folder in Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Mods/Aircraft. Then place the new A-4E-C folder in that location.

When I do that, the little skyhawk icon on the start page of DCS is not colored (only grey) and the game crashes when i try to load a mission.  If I copy beta 5 over beta 4, the icon is colored, but I then get the graphics issues.  Nothing is every easy.

 

I have attached my log file.

Can you post a picture of your Aircraft folder? I think it is most likely installed incorrectly.

I meant the aircraft folder the folder above.

See attached.  Weird that sometimes my user folder has my name spelled out and sometimes it uses "13057" but I never had any issues with it.  Both my name user folder and 13057 seem to go to the same place.

Your problem is likely due to old versions of the same module, just renaming the folder is not enough and will try use both of your A-4s

I just put the same beta 5 in both places and the icon is still grayed out even though it says beta 5.  I have never had this happen to me before.

Contact us on the discord this will be easier to fix there.

what channel do you want me to go to?  I am on your general channel

Hey I just thought I would say thanks! very very much! 

 

I have been holding off on really thoroughly learning this aircraft as it has been in development but I think now I am ready to dive in head first and really learn it.

 

Such a great piece of work. I hope those involved will be or are going to commit to future full fidelity, pay-ware module development cos you got the skills dudes 

[JNelson]

Hello Everyone, we discovered that there is a conflict with our mod that causes the sounds of the A-4 to be used with official aircraft. If you run into this issue it has been fixed in a hotfix we released just now so please re-install the hotfixed version.

It was plusnine who got you up and running in the end, I'm glad we got it working for you. Enjoy!

I find the gunsight is dimmer than pre-beta-4. It is quite hard to see in daylight. Keep up the great work.

Anyone else missing the skins? I get the usual green missing texture on most of the liveries in beta 5 and 5.1

I had to delete my customs skin folders in saved games unfortunately. Then I got all the official skins working again.

There were some textures renamed this update to prevent conflicts with other modules/mods you will probably have to wait for their authors to update them. All the official skins should still work though.

Two questions:

After watching the training lesson on starting the jet, I had trouble (even using 2 hands) in turning the lat/long for D1 and D2.  I finally figured out that you can press the button and then simply adjust the lat/long by holding the mouse cursor on the outside dial.  Is this a change and am I correct?

 

On the Nav computer, if you are going over land you use the land dial and if by sea, you use the sea dial.  What happens if your trip takes you over both? Do you change the dial when that happens?

 

By the way, my old VAC voice program works fine with this jet (except for some reason it will not recognize F 1).  I use VAC for this jet so I don't have to mess with VA and Viacom as Viacom does not recognize this jet.

Is the compass on top of the HUD backwards or am I just looking at it wrong?
