christopher m Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 @CH along with tips from @Rudel_chw have re-organized my MoDs section of THE GAME er... SIMULATION and also added a SUPER COOL NEW BOMBER into the mix The OvGME combined with zip archives is the way to go My DCS OB is much easier to trouble shoot after UPDATES!! and it runs "slicker than sh*t from a gooses ass" i'd like to turn over my computer to remote management by @CH but he'd probably say he'll get to it when he's good and ready anyway SUPER THNX for the organizational re-fit, WELL DONE! 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Christopher M

BlackFalco Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 Hi all. I'm new to DCS, just played it some days in the past. I was looking for some cool mods and ended up seeing this. I installed them via OvGME but when I try to start the game it says " The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled". Why that? Thanks to anyone who'll help!

Make sure you installed them in your DCS Saves games folder and not the DCS Program files folder. 2 _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

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.

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? Edited December 25, 2023 by Wild_Weasel_31

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!

One for "saved games kinda mods" and one for "normal" mods?

Unfortunately, you can have only one profile for each destination folder, so i have to keep tens of my different mods inside a single profile, unable to sort them

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 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

Vegabond Posted December 25, 2023 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.
CRUD Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 Hmm Assets packs aren't working for me, they disallow DCS to start. Can we have the old links back?
