OR you can copy it straight in to your main DCS game Folder but I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!!!! as when the game updates it will kill the Mod Known Issues, 1. If flying with minors you will see two glass cockpit model I would like to point out that I did not make the model just edit .lua files. Model is from the VSN Team and the original Textures. Cockpit is the DCS F/A-18C. I don't want to take credit from other Teams. Just want to make DCS more enjoyable with others. Edited April 12, 2024 by josh-109 6 2
Babzo Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Hi great mod...love it, I need help with some liveries. created the Royal Malaysian Air Force variant, but I'm having issues with painting the pylons and fuel tanks. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oban Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Known Issues, 1. Will not have full F/A-18C sounds like engines or any kind of APU sounds and out side sounds Wouldn't this actually make the whole module pointless if there's no sounds at all? or is this still using the VSN sounds inside and out?

There are normal jet sounds like FC3 jet sound. What dcs have given the C model they encrypt there sounds so moders can not piggy back off but it has sounds just not the C model sound files Edited July 10, 2021 by josh-109 1

The file for the pylons is located in the Textures folder, named FA-18D_PTB. Regrading the fuel tanks, this mod uses the same fuel tanks as the DCS F/A-18C.

So i took it from the original VSN_F-18D, but still having issues with the pylon.

Hedge010 Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 Is there any way to make this aircraft capable of catching wires on the Aircraft carrier? Even with the hook down it won't catch any, despite flying the ball to perfection. Yes, I saw in the known bugs that this may be an issue, but is there any way for the mod author to do something about this?

Tank50us Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 So, why does it need JSGME? If I can have both my normal C, and the D, wouldn't that mean that I can just drop it in the DCS Mods folder that's in my Saved Games (Steam user)?
Si45 Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Do I need to delete the vsn f and c I have aswell please
Si45 Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 Hi it’s still not working,It’s saying authorisation failed I’m using mod manager and I’ve put it in the main dcs folder it’s says the following dlc will be disabled
