overlord Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 It's a shame, I've verified that some of the ones I had installed do not work, I hope the incompatibilities with the mods are solved. One of the strengths of DCS are the mods and we can include them easily when editing our missions, the community greatly appreciate the work of the modders, without them any simulator loses a lot of gameplay and followers along the way. I hope to return soon... >> Blog Tanques y Blindados: Historia del carro de combate. >> DCS Overlord Briefings >> Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyave Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I've never installed any mods before, so I don't know if I'm just screwing something up or they're just not working because of incompatibility. Does this mod work for anyone? "Virtual Air Racing Pylons 2019 Mod" https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3196986/ I copied the files to Saved Games\DCS\Mods folder, and a few combinations, even tried a mod installer app, which crashed &^$%# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heclak Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Cluster bomb dispensers and MER rack (and Im guessing all custom weapons) on A-4 affected. We’ve already gotten new edm files for the affected weapons. Just need to get it tested before releasing an official patch.

Pikey Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 You are kidding right? They did it before, more than once. If a change is needed, they do it and that's the history of the matter. It's clearly a texturing change and I'll guess at part of this VR optimisation process we are seeing, although that's just a guess based on the texture changing in the scenery and the whopping sized update last wednesday. I doubt ED would purposefully change their EDM support to disable numerous mods and potentially upset a big portion of the DCS community. I hope the modders can make the models up to date with the newest export tool. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitriov Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Guys. If only some part of some mods are affected, it's for a very simple reason. If you look at the EDM files, you will always see that the models which don't work are from early-mid 2017 or previous to this. There is strictly no way to create a tool to convert an old EDM file to a recent one. The EDM is an encrypted file, and the process to create an EDM too is an encrypted process. Even if you get a good coder, he at least needs to be able to understand how the stuff works. There he simply can't. And even if he could, it wouldn't be legal. So sorry to make some people sad but the only, sole solution to get the broken mods to work again is to get their dev, who own the original 3D model (which is not yet converted in EDM format), to download the latest EDM plug in and to create new EDM to replace the older ones. And this is when they own it, because a lot of modders used older EDM models with retexturing, and so didn't own the original 3DS/Blender/Maya file (sometimes even without the original author permission but it's another debate, now they are ****ed and it's karma) For the remaining part. It is understandable that a lot of people are unhappy. But tbh : ED already makes itself sure that everyday, for several years, the latest EDM plug in is made public and availabe for free to download. The only thing, it is true, is that they could have warned the community of the changes they planned with 2.5.5. But the last EDM formats simply are more optimized for the current DCS, and themselves they took time to convert all their EDM to the new format (And I can garantee you that there are more than all the community mods put together). So well, there is nothing to do. I'm trying on my side to create you a pack to replace stuff that you lost with this update. But I need your help and suggestions. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=242793 I won't replace everything, but I will try to help you a bit. This, unfortunately, is the only way left if the original dev doesn't want to update his pack, which is understandable because it is a lot of work. And @Pikey : Nope, no texture change. The engine probably was a bit modified so it renders things differently. If it only was this, yep, you only would have to convert textures to a new format. It's not this, guaranteed.

SkateZilla Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The graphics changes happen all the time, As DCS Moves to Purely PBR Rendering and Eventually Vulkan, older EDM Formats and the shaders / materials along with it are depreciated.

Tomcatter87 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 In one of my missions, I noticed that the C-130 seems to be missing, too. I know it's not a mod, but I thought that problem might be related - anyone else's Hercules is gone?

michelip Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Civ. Aircraft Mod Hello Everyone, Does the Civilian Aircraft Mod still work with 2.5.5.31917? https://cam.em-key.de/#primary Happy Simming, Monnie Hi Monnie, On my system the Civil Aircraft Mod loads, but causes all player -flown aircraft to crash DCS on touchdown, so I have deleted it and have run a repair. Many other good user mods are now also broken (Ju 88, He 111 and WWII Objects for example). Hope corrections are made soon. Regards, Mich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
