JAS 39C Gripen Community Mod

@VictorDavion It was not intended as a solution. I am just pointing out my observations with DCS 2.9.14.8222 which did not exist in the previous version.

It indicates there is one or more weapons in <SavedGames>\DCS\Mods\aircraft\JAS39\Weapons\Loadout.lua in addition to the previously 3 mentioned that is causing a carrier spawning issue.

It's a shortcut to avoid some of the work involved in isolating the problem for those who may be trying to find a solution.

For DCS 2.9.14.8222, JAS39C v1.8.5 Beta compatibility with spawning aircraft carriers (A-4e, F/A-18c, T-45 case1 missions) seems to require commenting out (via preceding --) the following weapons from <SavedGames>\DCS\Mods\aircraft\JAS39\Weapons\Loadout.lua:

--dofile(current_mod_path .. '/Weapons/Loadouts/jas39_a-darter.lua')
--dofile(current_mod_path .. '/Weapons/Loadouts/jas39_mar-1.lua')

...

--dofile(current_mod_path .. '/Weapons/Loadouts/jas39_dws39_arm.lua')
--dofile(current_mod_path .. '/Weapons/Loadouts/jas39_dws39_tv.lua')

 

Dcs.log doesn't seem to provide any reason why it's affected by jas39_a-darter or jas39_mar-1

That would be a damn shame since this mod was one of the top tier mods not so long ago.

For DCS 2.9.14.8222, the following JAS39C loadouts has conflicts with the A-4e-c, F/A-18C, T-45 not spawning carriers. It's resolved by commenting out those loadouts with only those mods:

 

--dofile(current_mod_path .. '/Weapons/Loadouts/jas39_a-darter.lua')
--dofile(current_mod_path .. '/Weapons/Loadouts/jas39_mar-1.lua')

--dofile(current_mod_path .. '/Weapons/Loadouts/jas39_dws39_arm.lua')
--dofile(current_mod_path .. '/Weapons/Loadouts/jas39_dws39_tv.lua')

 

But I also see other mods now causing the same symptom A-4e-c, F/A-18C, T-45, UH-60L not spawning carriers:

MiG-31K and MiG-31BM

RAFALE PACK EVOLUTION II 2.8.7 2023

Seems like all VSN mods

 

The A-4e-c, T-45 and UH-60L all have exceptions in scripts function copyFile where iniFile = nil, caused by scandir not finding  any mission file. It does not seem to be the cause of the carrier spawning issue since these exceptions also occur in the case of successful carrier spawning.

 

The carrier spawning issue seems to be related to M61_20_HE_gr and M2_12_7_T. Perhaps a missing core resource ?

Seems this can be easily reproduced with only the VSN F-4 mod installed using it's case1 mission:

VSN_F4 standalone V2.9.5.206 case1 fails to spawn aircraft carriers.

VSN_F4 v2.8.2.102 standalon case1 succeeds spawning aircraft carriers.

added symptom reproducible with only VSN F-4

ED just released a patch I would suggest testing it, as stated above the mod is still ongoing, our Discord is a better place to follow updates and bugs
