Reason: Wrong version of model file." Pinging @Luiz Renault to make him aware of this issue, hopefully it can be fixed.

Mabuggi Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Hi guys - crashing for me too since the update (glad it isn't just me). Also, bit late, this is an incredible mod, it's amazing. Thank you for all your hard work and releasing this for the community.
Hawkeye60 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Quote "ERROR NGMODEL (5016): Can't load lod //models/a-29b-collision.edm of model a-29b-collision. Reason: Wrong version of model file." This error happens when the edm is too old for the current DCS build. It will need to be re-exported from Max. A work around is to comment out the collision files from the shapes lod lua file. This WILL render the collision inactive, but should allow the mod to load, and stop crashing DCS If the main aircraft lua has the collision declared, it will need to be commented out as well. Be aware, with no collision, unknown events may occur. YMMV Hope he responds with a fix.. A great mod! 2 "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."
crazyeddie Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) I'm using version 0.05 released 23 Jul 2022 and its working fine in my Beta. I have just looked on page 1 of this thread and that appears to be the most recent update. My Beta is up to date. OR, am I confused and we are talking about another Tucano ? If the answer to that question is Yes then my apologies, if its No then it is working. Edited October 29, 2022 by crazyeddie

You are not confused .. it's the same Mod and version, but on my DCS it posts that message on the log and then DCS crashes right after. 1 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 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

whisky.actual Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I spoke to Luiz and he's aware of the situation he's currently working on an update 5 2
patmath Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) That's a great news, thanks for letting us know and thanks to him for sharing his work, it's an amazing mod... Dumb question, is there a Discord and can we donate for this mod? Edited October 30, 2022 by patmath
Jenrick Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 Anyone else having issues with the guns not firing in 2.8? The round counter counts down, but no rounds are fired, and no rounds are logged in DCS.

stolzy Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Hoping someone can help with this. When I try and fly the A-28 I can't get in the cockpit. The mod loads and flies OK, but I only have an external 'F2' view. I had a similar problem with the A4E mod, but that was solved by installing Microsoft Visual Studio. I've attached the log here which contains a number of errors. dcs.log
crazyeddie Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 stolzy - go to page 1 and then to the github link, get the latest updated version that works in 2.8.

crazyeddie Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 What I did was scroll down to where it says "Download Latest Release", that's the one I got 2 days ago and that works. It does not have a version number after it. If you look at the lines of descriptions above it, one line for Bin says a new DLL for 2.8, so I'm guessing that is the fix. 2

I deleted the version I previously installed and re-downloaded and re-installed as you suggested, but with the same resilt. The version I have is ## Version 0.5.1 - 30 Oct 2022 and says: ### Fixes - DCS 2.8 Compatibility. No longer works with 2.7. #So I presume it is the latest one.
crazyeddie Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 That's the same version I now have, and it appears to work okay in my Beta game, but I have not tested everything yet. I suspect you may have a conflict with another Mod, but I dont know what that might be. Have a look in your log file and see if you can id any errors, that might give you a clue. I believe there is a navigation mod that does not work with the A29, it could be anything like that, something that affects the mod or adds to its functionality. I have lost track of all the add on's, there are so many now and I don't use them. Another option is to remove anything you suspect might be conflicting, its a bit hit and miss but it is often the only choice you have left when all else fails. Post your log file on here, somebody might spot an error.

crazyeddie Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 The only line in there that I can see that relates to the A29 is this: 2022-11-07 14:20:49.173 ERROR_ONCE DX11BACKEND: texture 'a29b_01_flir' not found. Asked from '' BUT - I get that in my log file as well and the A29 works in my game. Texture errors are usually ignored and the game uses a missing texture file in its place, so I dont think its anything to do with that line. I'm not an expert with log files, perhaps somebody can see something else that I have missed. I am having a load of different problems with my game since 2.8, some are really strange and I cant seem to identify what is causing them.

Sparc Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) ive been at it all day! i followed grim reapers tutorial on downloading and installing the A-29B. DCS stable (single player here) C\users\my name\saved games\DCS\mods\aircraft the A-29B is in the game but when i select training cold start all i get is a map and the ai is controlling the aircraft. also in mission editor i select the A-29B and click on "client" and tried "player" but ai controls the aircraft. im currently doing a complete slow repair to see if this helps. please help shed some light. Edited November 15, 2022 by Sparc
One Eyed Ross Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Sparc: Not sure if this is the same issue, but with the A-4E mod there was a Microsoft thing that had to be updated. Microsoft's Visual studio was the problem. Not sure it that is the case with the A-29 or not.... I also had a few issues with dropping bombs and firing the guns, until I checked my keyboard mapping. That was my issue. Other than that, I have had no problems at all with 2.8 and the new download. I love the aircraft, it has my second most hours of flight time (after the A-4)...but truth be told, I think the Bronco is going to catch up soon.
