Does anyone have an idea what I could be doing wrong?

 

Not much information, so I don't have any idea what might be your issue, all I can say is that this Mod still works for me on the latest DCS.

Can't you show us where you placed the Mod files?  a look into your dcs.log could also be helpful.

Thanks for replying.  I've attached the dcs.log. 

I put the folder(VPC Airfield Equipment v0.9.6 (by voc & edited by Rudel_chw)) in: saved games/dcs.openbeta/Mods/Tech and the fake lights files (VPC fix for 2.7 (by Shlee)) in: D:\Spil\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\shaders\model

But the files doesn't show up in ME. I checked that the clock-thing isn't selected

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, your log does not gives any clues ... I can only show how I have it setup, so you can compare with yours:

 

1) This is the folder at /Saved games/ (Juegos Guardados, on my spanish Windows):

5N0DYaI.jpg

 

2) These are the two lights.fx files that go onto the DCS program folder:

kMyoq4a.jpg

 

3) Once I start DCS, I can check on the Module Manager that the Mod is enabled:

ByoLqaN.jpg

 

4) On the Mission Editor most of the objects appear on the Fortification class, with VP prefix, like this:

ns1OJQ0.jpg

 

5) On this example, I placed a lightower to provide additional illumination at the airbase:

1Le7wu3.jpg

 

I do this because ED's standard light dont illuminate objects, they are like this:

gRlSlz7.jpg

 

Hopefully you will find the problem.

 

Eduardo

Dammit, I just put the folder "VPC Airfield Equipment v0.9.6 (by voc & edited by Rudel_chw)" in Tech. It was of course premade for OvGME, so there were subfolder. Sigh....

Sorry for wasting your time. Thanks for keeping this alive. Can't wait to test it out. 

Have a great weekend

Hi Eduardo, I tried to add a lighting tower as well to add more light to my airbase but it doesnt work, when I place the tower in the ME and then i click play, I have nothing, no tower and no lights, so everything is dark ? do you have any idea why ? Also, the preview in the ME shows nothing...

Assuming that you installed the Mod correctly, the only reason I can think of for not having lighting is that maybe you are placing the items as Static Objects. The lighting does not work for Statics, for example on this mission there are two lighttowers: one tower emits light and the other doesnt.

The one that emits light is setup as a Ground Unit of type Fortification, like this:

The one that does not emit light is setup as a Static object:

If I place both towers as Ground Units (Fortifications), then they both emit light:

Hopefully you will get your mission right.

Hi guys,

I just installed this manually and it seems to be working for the most part. I discovered that the mod folder has an "unnecessary" folder in it labelled "main." This does not appear in Rudel's screenshots above and may only be needed for the mod installer. My mod appears in the DCS menu as VPC Object only and NOT VPC Airfield Equipment. I checked for missing files and can't find any. The fix is installed in the shaders folder and the sample Blue airfield works great. I haven't tried them at night yet but when I tried to add a VP Lighting Tower, it loads fine but does not appear in game. The label is there but no model. I added it as a ground unit. No crashes just invisible object. I'm on 2.7 and trying not to update yet to keep my Sabre gun mods. The smaller VPC lighting cart #3 works fine.

Seems like you are installing an older version of this Mod, the latest files are on this post:

Thanks, I'll test this later tonight. AFAIK, the shader model files in my DL date from 4/2021

Not at my rig right now but is the latest version 0.9.6? Also, where should I find the config files with manual install? I will look at the Blue - Red airfields again and if the VP Lighting towers are visible there I will know it's some other anomaly preventing them from appearing  with a new placement in an old mission. I suspect this may be the case because I can fly without the sim crashing, even with invisible VP tower.

The latest version is the one I linked a couple of posts above .. dont trust the version number, as I didn't change the original version number when I applied all the fixes to my copy of this Mod, @voc

Hooray! 😀 0.4.6 works! Thanks for the support. Now I have to delete the 2 VP towers because they are WAY too close to the runway! 😅

Hi guys, anyone have an issue where all the VPC objects are appearing as Leo tanks on dedicated servers? Works just fine hosting off of my machine. I saw someone else had the same problem and it was solved with a reinstall of the mod and server. Sadly, no luck for me!

I have a problem with this mod. I can't use the nato canopy. In ME I put the canopy over the plane to cover it, but in game the plane is in another position!

It's impossible to put planes under the canopy.

What can I do?

Thanks

The mod needs updating. I use other shelter/canopy mods and one of them started to have the same issue, and the developer said he need to update his mod. Regarding this VPC mod i think we don´t have that luck.... so, you won´t be able to use it as before.

In the past this problem was there after an update, and come back usuable later after another update without doing anything, may be ........

Edit: I just make a test with canopy from French Pack V4.8 and ...... same issue

I use Swiss Hangars mod and since some updates ago they stop function like the VPC ones, i contacted the mod developer and he told me that he fixed it that but i´m still waiting from an update to his mod, regarding VPC mod i think they don´t work anymore on the mod that´s why i said we probably won´t see a fix.

make sure you set the parking slot as "takeoff from ground", and not "takeoff from ramp".
