Rudel_chw Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hello, Just wanted to promote a fantastic Template that @Minsky has shared with the community and that can easily provide background to the missions that we edit on this Map: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3317341/ Not for the User-Mod shy, but the Mods used are mostly the very well known and bug free Civil Aircrafts Mod (CAM) and Military Aircraft Mod (MOM), plus the very recent SAM Assets Pack .. the suggested liveries are optional. On my DCS it worked on the first try: 600 objects bring the islands to life: I had intended to edit my own Templates for use on the new Map, but these are really nice so I shelved mine and instead will concentrate on editing Missions .. I was kind of tired with the Caucasus anyway Cheers. 5 2 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minsky Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks for the spotlight @Rudel_chw ! There's still room for more templates, like the SAM sites or training ranges - I'm not planning to do these, so there won't be any kind of overlapping 3 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Hi Gents For me there is a problem with this addon. I have the mods that are required Civil Aircrafts Mod (CAM) and Military Aircraft Mod (MOM), plus the SAM Assets Pack. followed the direction's to the letter and as soon as I add the base objects and extra object and save the mission the3 mission will fail and show "0KB" in size. example: I create a mission and save it. The mission will be 12KB in size and load correctly. however as soon as the two templates are loaded and the mission is save all data is lost and the mission now is useless and shows 0KB Cheers wood Edited July 8, 2021 by Wood [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens when you use a Template that uses objects from a Mod that you don't have .. in your case most likely it is the KAFA wires Mod (or, your current Mods are not installed correctly).

Hey Rudel. Thanks for the reply. Not sure about that as I just been checking. If I load and save with the editor then it does not work. If I open the missions provide it loads. I'm at a loss.

If I didn't have the mods loaded then the debug missions would not load. However, I believe I found the issue and if someone can confirm. With the mission I first created I did not install the first in the list base template but installed Super carrier one. and then loaded or try to load the others with no success. Creating another miz before adding any thing in I loaded the Base templated PT1 followed by PT2 and PT3. Added my aircraft in and it worked. Not sure why its like that or why it happened but thats how, I got it to work. Edited July 8, 2021 by Wood [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudel_chw Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) 56 minutes ago, too-cool said: Please tell me where each of the Mods and Livery go ... Hi, As a general rule, Mods that add new aircrafts to DCS go into this path: \Saved Games\DCS or DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft\ like this: Mods that add ground or naval units go into \Saved Games\DCS or DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech\ (Ground objects, like the KAFA landing net, go into this path as well). Like this: Each Mod goes ont its own sub-folder ... the name of this subfolder can be changed to whatever you want, like I have done with Suntsag's mods on the figure above.

No, it's on your DCS Settings Folder, inside a "Logs" sub-folder, like this: The "dcs.log" file is from your latest DCS run; the dcs.log.old is from your prior-to-last run. The debrief.log is from your latest mission flown in full. The DCS-BIOS.log is from an utility that I use and your DCS probably don't have it. There may also be some zipped files in there that are generated when DCS crashes. The one that is of interest now is the "dcs.log". Attach it on this thread, to look for clues about your issue.

Oban Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 This is a really cool template, and flying low and slow in a Huey over the Marianas is absolutely awesome, so much life down low, ED have done a great job on initial release, once the map is optomised more, it's going to be even better.
