JAS 39C Gripen Community Mod

[Minh_007]

Hi @whisky.actual, I have used JAS 39C Gripen mod and I found out that I cannot use Storm Shadow or KEPD 350 as a long-range cruise missile for AI aircraft. These missiles could only be used as HARM. So is there any way to solve this issue, Thank you!

I've always had an issue with this addon, it just wont load for me, it always says addon not available, I've tried installing it into the mods/aircraft folder and OVGME and neither work

OVGME is not a location .. this mod goes onto /Saved Games/DCS World/Mods/aircraft/

Also note that the Mod needs the F-15, Su-33 or the FC3 Modules if you want to use a Gripen variant different from the A/G one.

I've tried that, and also having it as the ONLY aircraft in the folder so it's not another mod conflicting

Strange .. it works on my end .. I have the Mod installed here:

 

 

DCS recognizes it like this:

 

 

and here you can see it on the new Sinai map:

 

 

Hope you can find the cause of this issue, but clearly this Mod is ok.

It's strange as it's the exact same location in mine too.

I tried normal and multi thread exe's and same issue, it's strange considering it's the only mod installed LOL

Even the Module manager is the same as yours, I just get that authentication message, it's like I'm offline, but not !!

A great thank you to the team! This mod really works perfect for me in this last iteration. So much work put down - just a bit more work on the systems and it should be sold...

But as I looked around, I found no screenshots of the easter egg? I was touring Paris and saw a sandwich stand when I passed under the Eiffel tower. I suddenly felt a rumble in my stomach. Looked around in the compartments for something to eat, and voila... Look beneath the bottom-right corner of the right DDI.

p.s. Lucky strike on my first try to go under the Eiffel tower - but the Gripen is nimble Look at right hand view where the cockpit lines align with the Eiffel Tower arch. And the rightmost arch aligns with the cockpit frame. I just paused and looked out of the window towards the sales stands beneath the tower... It looks like a staged screenshot setup, where the Gripen has been merged with the Tower, must look out for angry Rafale's on the way home

Did you put in the mods folder in Daved Games or the core installation?

It's in my saved games foder, same as Rudel's, same path, it shows in the module manager as there, but it's not activated, it's weird !

Is it green in the Module Manager?
When you get that message it's usually because it's in the core folders, EVEN if they are in Saved Games as well.
Are you positive that you never put in the core first by mistake?
I'd check. In any case a full repair with removal of files should do the trick.

Cheers!

When this arrives is that people put the files in their main DCS folder in core or mods, check both locations or preform a clean up

Roger, that's why I asked him!

I will double check, pretty sure It was only in the saved games

[Oban]

I got it working, but at a cost ! for some reason it disables certain ships !! All of Currenthills don't show on the map, neither did the Forrestal

I only wanted it for the weapons really

I have a question about the missile behavior with the meteor.

The parameters of the shots are generally as follows:

Gripen: 40k ft, 400 kts,

Su30: 40k ft, 300 kts,

Separation: about 55-56 nautical miles

Launch Parameters: TWS, High PRF, 1.5 - 2 degrees pitch up, fire and track missile entire way.

The vast majority of my shots are like the "Flat trajectory" file - the missile gets lofted and continues to travel in a straight line over the target until it either overshoots and doesn't detect the target or it detects the target and begins maneuvering.

There are some special instances where the missile travels more in an arc long before going active. It is able to reach a nice optimal point above the target before going active. I am unable to reliably reproduce this (Special 3 file) with my firing parameters. In 20 shot tests, only three have turned out this way.

----

I've done quite a bit of tweeking with missiles and I cannot definitively find any other parameter besides active_radar_lock_dist (the parameter that controls when the missile goes active) that makes the missile deviate from its usual flat loft trajectory. Could someone explain to me why the missile is acting like its using two different flight models? Does anyone have any idea as to which parameters pertain to this problem?

Found that this mod is causing all of my ground assist that are not static to disappear. Not matter what mission and also custom missions.  As soon as I removed it they all started working again

[BluePhantom]

Same here. I discovered that this mod erases all ground units (esp. infantry) from both the game (F1) view and the theater map (F10).  Had to remove it, which is a shame because I was fond of the JAS39. I should add that it appeared to be working until one of the recent DCS updates.

I am not having any problems with this Aircraft.  Ground units, statics and moving, are appearing in the ME (F10) and are visible from the aircraft as it fly's past them.  Everything is working normally.  You may have some other conflict.  

 

 

[BluePhantom]

Possibly. But I removed all mods and added them back in slowly. This was the mod that created the problem in my case.  Maybe this mod clashes with another mod, but since this is the mod that causes the problem for me, I have removed it.

A more definitive test would be to see whether you have the problem when this is the only mod. If not then there is some kind of interaction.

Just tested on my DCS and this Mod works fine ... most likely you have a conflict with another Mod, which can happen. I suggest the use of a Mod Manager, so you can have a more clear picture of what Mods you have active at any one time, I'm using OvGME for that:

 

 

and here you can see that I don't encounter your issue:

 

 

[Eole]

Tested on stable version with popular mods It works

And the bug in Openbeta when inserting the JAS39C in the Saved game/dcs openbeta/mods when naval unit are missing but so much mods I dunno where to find the vilain which causes the conflict

No, this is tested without Frenchpack_CA

[crazyeddie]

Many recent Mods have sound files included in them by the authors. Now I dont know why but I have found that if you disable those sound files everything that wasn't working, works again.  Those mods still work because they simply pick up the default sound files from the game.

I would suggest you look at ALL of your mods and see which ones have sound files included then disable the sound line in the entry.lua and remove the sound files until you find the culprit. 

I had this problem, and that's how I fixed it.  I removed the sound files for the A4, the Bronco and a couple of others (it was ages ago and I forget which ones exactly now) A game update a while ago changed how the sound files work so I'm guessing it was something to do with that. 

 

PS: Something I forgot to add - There is a much more complicated solution that requires you to modify the sound files, and that works really well and leaves the authors sound files more or less intact, so if you crave perfection that might be your better option.  This is just a simple solution that works fine for AI etc.   The other option is here:

Im learning stuff in this mod ... most things work but for some reason i cant drop guided bombs..

 

i watched the tutorials.. use the targeting pod and lock, activate laser and i get a LA in the HUD but nothing drops when i trigger..

i do the same with the brimbstone missiles and they fire, work and track fine.. LGB and TV bombs simply dont drop even with a LA..

Any hints on this?

 

Also i tried dumb bombing with CCRP like in the russian hud its using and the bomb for some reason fell short ..massivly.. like 300m short from a 1500f drop at 400k
