Hawkeye60 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Posted December 18, 2020 Hmmm, I just tried him in the latest OB. He seems to fly fine! Be sure to install in the saved games location. If you still have issues, I will try to help. Taken, just now, Be the Santa! "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

Len62 Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 So my saved games folder does not have a mod folder. So do I create the folder structure and then place the mod directly into "user/name/saved games/dcs/mods/aircraft" or am I missing something? I only have a couple of DCS mods installed and they go into the main game directory. Thanks for your help.
Hawkeye60 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Posted December 19, 2020 The mod is set up to use OvGME. This is a mod manager which makes using, installing and UN-installing mods a breeze! Find the link in this forum section for info. Or, see here, If you do not wish to use it, you must un-zip the file and work down to the mods folder. Copy this directly into your saved games location. It will be installed, and should work fine. I do recommend the a mod manager, especially if you are installing into the main DCS directory. Makes life easy when doing Patches and up-dates to the core sim. Thanks to Rudel for the great post above! Hope this sorts it out for you. Santa needs all the help he can get! Cheers! 1 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.

Len62 Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 I already use OVGME for mod management. However, it was set up to use my main game dir on my e: drive for the few mods I use regularly. Of course santa would not work installed there. So, I created a second mods path for OVGME pointing to the dcs folder in the saved games folder on the C drive. Works fine now. So, can all of the mods be placed in the saved games dir, or do some still need to go to the main game directory?
LanceCriminal86 Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 I love these kinds of things, perfect excuse to do a Santa escort mission in the Tomcat! What's his top speed? I think realistically he needs to be going fast enough that the heat and sonic boom would destroy the planet but I don't think DCS currently models that. 2 Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™ VF-11 and VF-31 1988 [WIP] VF-201 & VF-202 [WIP]
Saguanay Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 This mod made the F15C unusable. I just went to fly it in the last week and it wouldn't work. Process of elimination found Santa was the prob.

Anyway, I'm confident we will have a new version before Christmas if there are any issues.
Saguanay Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 The 2021 version I guess. Got it before Christmas. Moved him out, F15 works. 1

Hawkeye60 Posted December 2, 2022 Author Posted December 2, 2022 First post Up-dated! Merry Christmas! "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.

Arrow11 Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 Haha its time for Santa again!!! Merry Christmas!
SilentSparrow Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Hey! Would you like to make other magical things for DCS? Like, say, Disney characters? I know, weird idea, but considering there’s Santa Claus, I think you can start trying to make Disney characters for DCS.

They won't see Santa if they haven't installed the mod. Soooo... If you can somehow trick them into installing the mod without understanding why, then it would be pretty fun!Might not be as much fun though, but what you could do, is using the mod like you plan to, (I believe you'll show as the F-15C), and fly in formation or something. Record the session and/or take some screenshots, then post it somewhere. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
