_MODS Folder

[Quickdraw]

I would like to share my experience in case someone else has a brain fart like i did.

So, followed the instructions for downloading and installing JSGME I made a folder on the C drive and placed the .exe there, then i sent a shortcut to the desktop,still following the instructions i then made a (_MODS) folder in DCSW.

I set the (Start in) path in properties clicked apply then OK, when the  window popped up for choosing the folder this is where i messed up instead of simply add the (_) to the folder I like a dummy clicked OK then everyone knows what happen next JSGME created its own folder called MODS which might have worked but i believe if you are following instruction it should be to the letter or not at all so  i wanted it to be  _MODS like the instructions.

So i deleted every thing, (or so i thought more about that) i loaded everything but could not get the popup window to set the _MODS folder and JSGME was making its own folder every time.

To bring this to a close as i said i thought i was deleting every thing, the only file i was not deleting was.............................JSGME Configuration settings (.ini) like i said at the beginning i was having brain farts.

To solve the problem all i had to do was open the config settings file and  change, Name=MODS to _MODS and bingo JSGME opened to the correct location.

Use OvGME or Open Mod Manager, more user friendly (with OvGME for example you can manage mods in core game and Saved Games with only one "Mods" folder where you want on your PC), and I saw some where JSGME stop working with DCS

Morpheus,after the second time of trying to make a snapshot using JSGME and then finding out it chokes on the 64bit map , i switched to OvGME and made a snapshot and installed the mods with out any problems.

Thanks
