Thanks a lot 

Can you show me with a screenshot what needs to be switched? I have a Russian version of the game and not quite understand what need to do. In the model itself, I now know how to solve this, but requires an update mod

Objects are floating - can anyone help me out here? This happens to any canopy I used. I placed the object as a 'Fortification' in the M.E - this also happens when placed as a static object.

These are the latest versions.

Cheers.

Hello @voc ... sorry, I saw your post just today. You don't need to do anything, it's the mission editor the one that has to take care to place the aircrafts as "takeoff from ground", rather than "takeoff from ramp or parking", when using the VPC Canopy, like this:

 

 

On this way, the aircraft can spawn inside the canopy with no issues, like this:

Need more data to be able to reproduce: which Map and airbase are you using?

Thank you for the tip but as you probably know you only may use "takeoff from ground" with a group with 1 unit only. For single training flights it´s great but it won´t work if i want to have 2 or more units in my group. Wish this could be updated.

Nevertheless thank you again for the suggestion.

Akrotiri on the Syria Map, but this happens on any map.

It doesn't happen on my DCS, perhaps you have another Mod that is conflicting?

Hello.
I just reinstalled the whole DCS and my mods and some VPC objects are crashing in the editor.

 

I did reinstall the last files compiled by Rudel_chw.

 

 

 

Note that it crashes only with some objects (towerlight,...) and not with others (VPC Nato Canopy,...)

I add you the logs where errors appear in connection with fake_omni_lights.fx at the bottom.

 

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thank You

here is an updated version of this great Mod created by @voc It now consists of two parts:

1) The Mod itself goes onto the /Saved Games/DCS/ path, this is the download link:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai6cuX3YQI26h9JE4RY9YQlWXv9SRw?e=8eaIZo

...

2) In order for the Mod to work on DCS 2.7 (and 2.5.6), it requires the addition of two small files on the /Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/ path. Download this fix from this link:

 

...

 

Hello,

The user @DCS-Savvy has discovered that since DCS v2.8, the item (2) of above is not needed anymore, the VPC Airfield Mod is once again able to function completely from /Saved Games/ 

I've tested it, and can confirm that lighting of these objects works, without need for the fix file that I shared above, like this:

 

 

Note that the VPC lightowers DO illuminate the aircraft below, set on Damascuis airbase. On vanilla DCS this only happens on PGulf map.

Since DCS 2.8, ED appears to have included now the "fake_omni_lights2.fx" and "fake_spot_lights2.fx" files, in the "DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\shaders\model" folder, which are the same as the files we previously had on the 2.7 fix.

Best regards, and thanks again to @DCS-Savvy for discovering this

After 2.8 update I cannot get any aircraft to park under the canopies. They default to the nearest parking spot that is empty.

Try "park on ground"

Tried to launch mission from both the parking and parking hot spots, under that large square green canopy.  Defaults to nearest empty spot both times. This did work before 2.8.

Try the option "take-off from ground", it works for me:

 

 

 

I know it is just a workaround, but in most cases it is useful.

 

 

[crazyeddie]

Tried that, only to find that option is not coming with the A29 drop down - I'm only getting these options.

It's gotta be a player aircraft, not AI.

Its doing the same thing for both player and AI, there appears to be some issue with the A29 because if I delete it and start again as a Player aircraft it does drop down to that option, but if I then change it in some way that option disappears again, its weird. 

[Rudel_chw]

Just tested, latest A-29 version, Syria Map, Damascus airport, the aircraft is AI controlled:

 

 

 

Here is the test mission if anyone wants to try it, requires VPC and CAM ... didnt had time to remove the civil aircrafts, sorry.

This is weird - I cant get it to work on any map, inc Syria - the same thing happens on all of them.  Thanks for doing that Rudel, it really helps to track the problem down. 

So, its not the aircraft and its not the shelter and probably not the map so it has to be some sort of conflict with another Mod, I will have to sort that out by the old trial and error method !!!

Not come across anything quite like this before, its really strange.
