For those of you that don't get it to work. Uninstall all other mods and try again.
What path have you installed it in? It goes in Saved Games and not the DCS core installation folders.
If it still doesn't work, perform a repair/integrity check.
Post your DCS.log.
Cheers!

Just out of curiosity Dave, do you have FC3 and have you tried both A/A and A/G variants please?

Strange, I have it on that same path, like this:

 

 

A DCS Repair only fixes issues that are within the DCS main program folder, it won't touch into /Saved Games/  ... if it still doesn't work, post the latest dcs.log as most issues leave a trail within it.

 

Edit: Note that the folder is "Mods", not "mod"

@Rudel_chw Thanks for noticing.

Dave, one must follow instructions to the letter. The path is incorrect. Correct path is:
Saved Games\DCS\mods\aircraft

Cheers!

Edit: In case you look at Rudel's screenshot. Beware, he purposely has his Saved Games in a different folder.

I see!

Out of curiosity for everyone. Does this mod have dependencies like Flaming Cliffs or the JF-17?

It's so long since I used it.

Cheers!

From your dcs.log:

2025-10-04 18:15:37.782 ERROR   WEAPONSBASE (Main): Failed load descriptor :While loading weapons.missiles.jas_dws39_tv: Inconsistency in scheme: block "autopilot" (JSOW autopilot) has unassigned input q.

This is the same issue which randomly prevents spawning aircraft carriers in missions and sometimes causes other random strange side effects. It's caused by a change in DCS. I've posted about it previously in this thread.

You can try commenting out (by add the preceding --) to the following lines in <Saved Games>\DCS\Mods\aircraft\JAS39\Weapons\Loadout.lua

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

I've also had problems with these other two entries this past year, but the current version of DCS doesn't seem to have a problem with them

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

 

I believe this version of the mod still has a dependency on Flaming Cliffs.

There is another version of the mod which is dependent on the JF-17.
