currenthill Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 2 minutes ago, BlackFalco said: Hi and thanks for your answer! I followed the instruction with OvGME that lets you put all the mods into a "mod folder" and activate them from there via OvGME. Doesn't it work that way? Yep, but you need to instruct OvGME where to put the files when you enable a mod. In the OvGME edit configuration you set the 'Configuration root folder' to your DCS saved games, and not your DCS Program files folder. I have two OvGME which I can switch between at the top of the GUI, one where the target folder is my DCS Saved games and one where my target is my DCS Program files. The latter is for mods that unfortunately need to be installed directly into DCS and won't work with the saved games folder. I think @Rudel_chw have described the OvGME installation and configuration multiple times, do a search. _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

Oh so the Configuration root folder should be "saved games" and not the DCS installation folder as said in the OvGME tutorial (https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/OVGME)? That's what I was doin wrong then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is usually the game or software installation folder. In this case you want them to be installed in the DCS saved games folder. _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

When trying to import manually, it says, that file is not a correct mod archive. I tried to repack them, barely worked. Maybe, thay are just too massive?

I came to the conclusion that it's the size that's messing OvGME up. 1 _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

That's a pretty old tutorial, made with the OvGME version of 2018. At that time ED hadnt yet created the mechanism that allows the user to MODify DCS without having to actually modify files on the game main program folder, you do the MODding on a look-alike folder structure that you create at /Saved Games/ here is a more up-to-date tutorial: 1 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...

Vegabond Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 So I am having an interesting issue....I installed all the new asset packs the same as I always have with previous mods, I can see the modules in the mission editor but when I play the mission some of the assets will disappear. As in, they simply don't show up on the map, I can't select them, nothing...it appears to only be effecting the naval assets, as CH ground vehicles and aircraft show up and perform perfectly. Any idea what the issue could be? I have never seen an issue quite like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to check for conflicts. I've mentioned it before, I've spawned every one of my 100+ assets in the same mission without any issues. 1 _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

So is their a list someplace that can help identify all the OLD assets? Obviously all those prefixed with CH are simple but I thought there were some that did not have the prefix and I am having a hard time identifying them in my large list of mods.
