CBStu Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I downloaded and installed 'Interceptor' campaign. Try to fly it and it says I need Civil objects. So I find that in user files, download and unzip. But it won't let me unzip directly to DCS/mods/tech. I unzip to my documents folder then copy/paste to tech. Try to fly the campaign and DCS pops up a window something about it is not authorized and will be disabled so of course the campaign won't load. Ideas please.

CBStu Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Good question. When I go through user, saved games, me, dcs there is no mods, tech folder. So I go through program files, Eagle Dynamics, DCS world, and then there is a mods, tech folder so that is where I put it. The instructions say to go the first route but it doesn't have the folder. So I thought maybe the instructions were older and no longer valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not made for you like in core.Make them and MOVE to correct folder, and you'll be good to go.Cheers!

CBStu Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 MAXsenna, thank you very much. I am not much of a PC guy, I just do what I need to but, w/ your help, I got the Civil Objects loaded and then it asked for Civil Aircraft. Got that loaded too. Now the campaign works great. Even got to follow a 'Follow Me' truck to my parking spot at the end of the first mission. Thank you, thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motch Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sorry but have a similar problem. Where should the "Saved Games" folder be? And what should I add to that? I moved my DCS world for the C folder to an external D (SSD Drive) folder but don't show a Saved Folder anywhere. Help and thanks Motch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motch Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Max.. THANK YOU! I actually deleted the two DCS's I had on the computer. Didn't realize I had one in D and one in C. I reloaded everything into the D drive and everything worked ok (except I no longer had a MiG29 Icon on the initial screen, but had the FC3 Icon. Before, I could have sworn I had both!) Then I re-installed the A29 and the mil & civ mod aircraft into the C drive, Saved Games, etc... HOWEVER- The A29 shows up and I can fly it. cool! But when I went to mission editor I can not build any sort of mission as I get a Grey box of death on the right side when I select Aircraft Icon on the right side.. Wanted to build a mission with the C5, C17 and other aircraft around the Nevada area. Any idea what is going on? I have already run the DCS Repair but that didn't solve the problem. REALLY Appreciate the help Always Motch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
