Thanks to Bungo for the use of his MELBOURNE Carrier.

Santa is pleased!😄

 

Small up-date,

Be sure to read the included flight manual before mounting the sleigh.

 

Thank you!

"Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

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,

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.

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!:biggrin:

 

Cheers!

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?

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.

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.

Which version of the mod? I just tested and all was fine for me.
Anyway, I'm confident we will have a new version before Christmas if there are any issues. 😉

The 2021 version I guess.   Got it before Christmas.  Moved him out, F15 works.  
Hmm, I guess I use the same version.
Well, at lest you got the Eagle going on your end!
Crossing my fingers for a working version for you before Christmas!

Will that negate the squadron having to DL and install it? Just put it on the server only.

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.
