Is there a supported way to add nationalities/factions or units to existing or correct ranks of existing factions? 1 3 SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
Fisherman82 Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 +1 Would like to know to The files containing the units like USA.lua are gone also. 1
Ansirial Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 +1 Editing that file can enable US Navy and USMC with their ranks and awards 2
agamemnon_b5 Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 I've been wondering what the point/purpose of them changing the files like that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

It was shown how easy it was to data-mine weapon and vehicle stats and expose how bad and simplistic they were… 1 ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves. One cannot land; the other shoots friendlies.

Glow Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) I made a little mod for experience gaining speed, to get medals much slower and longer flight times for ranks. Something for more ambitious pilots, the leveling was imo to fast. I was about to release this mod to public after longer test. Plus new medals images, stripes and unitis for Poland, those can be mod in 2.7 but not names, witch are without polish letters in DCS currently - bug!. Polish medal pictures comparing to US are ugly, I have no idea like someone accept those. If EDs is not doing anything around this, would be a good thing to leave those doors open for moders. Maybe we can come with some more creative idea that would be beneficial for all the community. However, if there is something is in the air... well I wish to know about it, but if not - PLEEEESSE LEAVE DB_COUNTRIES ALONE! Edited April 18, 2021 by Glow 1

Might ED consider opening this back up for modding? There are several nice logbook mods out there that many of us use that rely on db_countries.

I'm saying it was dumb for ED to encrypt it. whilst your second statement is clearer; i honestly thought you were saying you didn't understand why people wanted to make changes to the db_countries.lua file, rather than why users would want to... the tone of your second statement is not cool, if you don't understand that then, understand that dev's are people with feelings too. In either case ED are reverting the change, which is great to see! 1 SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware AMD 9800X3D, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat
