VAQ136title.jpg

Inspired by @Tomcatter87 I have tried my hand at skinning too! I am happy to present two VAQ-136 skins from the early 2000s.

Looks really good - so do the Hawkeyes. I especially like the 2000s era, so I'll build them into my Marianas missions from that timeframe.

Thank you sir! I have a few more skins for CVW-5, just waiting for them to be authorized on the dcs download page.

The A6A is not showing in my aircraft dropdown, but nothing has changed in my mods folder since I last used it. It is still in Mods/tech/aircraft. The E2D mod right next to it is working.

Any trouble shooting ideas?

Edit: Wrong thread, but if you have an answer still appreciated

Mods/tech/aircraft is a invalid path, it should be Mods/aircraft.

The E2D is not a Mod, but a DCS native AI aircraft. Check to see that the Historic Filter is not enabled on your Mission Editor (the clock thingy on the status bar), as that feature is not compatible with unofficial units.

So it was the fact that I at some point put them in a folder called aircraft, but I never knew what that watch/clock button did despite using ME for a long time, thank you both.

I downloaded the file that has only the shape file in it and put it in my saved games folder under Mods>Aircraft but its not showing in DCS.

 

Looks like a corrupt download, my EA6 folder looks like this:

So I'm new to DCS and was happy to see this mod - even happier when I was able to install it and actually see it in a mission I created, but I don't see any way to add stores in the mission editor.  Any guidance would be appreciated!

Oh wow, this looks great!  I have been trying to find this (hiding in plane sight) for a few weeks since starting the Operation Hormuz Hornet campaign found in the ED downloads.  In the opening mission the designer uses an S-3 in place of a Prowler.  Mission works great, but I was hoping to insert this into it and play with the actually intended AI aircraft.

Mission starts with the S-3 on Cat-1 as shown below.

image.png

When I go into the mission editor and replace the S-3 with the EA-6B, DCS doesn't recognize the Prowler and spawns another Hornet on Cat-1 (its a busy deck at the beginning of this mission) which merges the models.  The merged planes break the mission and the clogs the deck.  Nothing takes off from Cat-1 or Cat-2.

image.png

I downloaded both zip files from the OP (shown below)

image.png

I replaced the content of the first zip with the content from the "Taxi_collision" file.  I've also tried is without the "Taxi_collision" file and get the same results shown above.

I'll post the mission in case anyone wants to test on their machine.  Replace the S-3 with the Unit Name "Dodge 1-1" with the Prowler and fly.  You'll spawn into a Hornet waiting for the Cats to free up.

image.png

Hopefully, I've messed up the install somehow and the Prowler can work in this mission.  Thanks in advance to anyone that can assist!

After reading this thread, I have 2 questions: Does this mod perform any jamming functions or employ electronic warfare on targets? Or does it fly around, shoot HARMs, and look nice?

Flies around, shoots HARMs and looks great!  Someone posted a couple months ago (I can't find it, youtube/forum/hoggit... etc) with some triggers for SAM sites to make it look like it is jamming a radar.
