Rudel_chw Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Hello, I'm opening this thread to provide support for a set of Static Templates that I've edited for the airbases of the Persian Gulf Map. I've uploaded them in two files, one for the Red Coalition (basically Iran and the strait islands) and another for the Blue Coalition (UAE and strait islands): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314370/ https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314404/ Please note that these Templates require at least three User Mods as pre-requisites: 1) VPC Airfield Equipment Mod, by @voc, originally available here: https://virpil.com/en/news/58-vpc-airfield-equipment-dlya-dcs-world However, that Mod version is currently obsolete, download instead an updated version of this Mod from this post: The files are in OvGME format for use with a Mod Manager, please note that the Mod has actually two packages, as it must go both into the DCS program folder and into your Saved games folder. 2) Nato Personnel & Items, by @SUNTSAG: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/190965-nato-personnel-and-items 3) Civil Aircrafts Mod, by @cdpkobra , @Popchar and @seth0s : https://cam.em-key.de/ None of the above Mods impact on the Multiplayer game, as they are all installed on the /Saved Games/ path. To improve detail, I suggest to make use of these additional items, tough they are not strictly required: 1) To replace the ugly green Farps of the standard DCS, I use the Desert FARP v3 Mod by @SUNTSAG : https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/186925-desert-farp-mod/?tab=comments#comment-3614555 2) To provide desert skins for the ground AI vehicles, use these liveries by @easypeac3: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307516/?sphrase_id=1210190 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307500/?sphrase_id=1210190 3) To provide liveries for Iran's aircrafts, use these liveries by @sadjad-vosoul : Best regards, Eduardo Edited July 2, 2022 by Rudel_chw Added updated download link for the VPC Mod 2 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swson Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hi, I downloaded the required mods, as your given 1drive link is dead I installed the: VPC-Airfield Equipment 0.9.4 beta.zip and the patch VP Object -20210427T133942Z-001_patch.zip the the shapes directory of main/ However, putting directly the mods into saved games/DCSopenbeta/Mods/tech/main for VPC, NatoGF in tech as well as Civil Aircraft in mods/aircraft, every time I load a base static file like UAE or DUBAI intl (but also plenty of others), when I launch the flight, I get a window: DX11RENDERER error : shader " model/fake_omni_lights.fx " failed to compile HRESULT:ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND with retry or cancel leading both to a game crash. what could be going wrong and how to fix that??? Curiously, It seems I succeeded late last night at least one time to go through the error with the standard VPC (not patched) with an installation using MODMANFX64 but I could not been able to reproduce it today.... I am using the 2.7 version of DCS beta and I have a huge PC configuration with 32Go RAM and 16Go of VRAM in a radeon 6900XT Thanks for your help if possible because your mod is really nice and it's a pity I could not use it I was ready to be delighted to see the AL DHAFRA AFB where I spent a lot of time in all its splendor...

Hello, Please, delete your current VPC Mod and replace with the one from this post: Please note that in order to fix this issue, I had to add a small 2nd part to the VPC Mod .. the largest part goes onto the /Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/ folder, while the small one should go onto the DCS Program folder (usually at /program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS Openbeta/ ) .. as far as I have tested, this small Mod does not impact on the Multiplayer Integrity Check.

ShaunX Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hi @Rudel_chw, Thank you so much for these fantastic resourses. I did initially have the same issue as SilentSierra above, but have now installed the Desert Farp mod and everything works perfectly! You might want to consider editing the user files entries to state that Desert Farp is mandatory for certain airfields (particularly as V3 is now a saved games version). It threw me for a while as the ME allows insertion of those airfield resources but then immediately invalidates the mission so it is not savable (or even possible to open it again in the ME). Thought I must have corrupted DCS somehow and ran a repair.

Thought I must have corrupted DCS somehow and ran a repair. Hello, The individual Templates do state which Mod they require: but the User Files description is misleading, as the Desert Farp is described as "optional", which used to be the case but a DCS update changed this behaviour, so I will update the files description. Thanks for reminding me about this issue.

A static template can’t be edited directly, instead you have to create a new empty mission, then load the static template, then edit the changes you want and finally save a new version of the template with those changes. 4 hours ago, IR Sky said: I do not see any objects on the mission map Most of the template objects are hidden, but not all, you should see at least some of its 300 objects. Here is a video that I recorded last night, showing how it looks on my DCS: Please note the template requirements: Saudi arabia, UAE and UK must be on the blue coalition, and two User Mods are needed: VPC objects, and NATO soldiers. 4 hours ago, IR Sky said: but I'm using version 0.9.6 instead along with the root fix and I guess that's the issue?
