Correct. This is from the OvGME help:

Configuration root folder
This must be the path to the folder where mods will be installed when applyed. This is usually the game or software installation folder.

In this case you want them to be installed in the DCS saved games folder.

 

Also got a problem. OVGME does not recognize Russia, Sweden, USA and China packs. 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?

Yeah, I noticed that also. I came to the conclusion that it's the size that's messing OvGME up.

Maybe, you should split them apart? Naval, ground and air force packs separately, for example?

This helped me a lot. I was about to get out of it crazy ahah. So we always should have 2 mods profiles? One for "saved games kinda mods" and one for "normal" mods?

Yep, exactly. 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

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 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:

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.

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

Make sure to delete all the my old assets. This sounds like a conflict.

The asset packs works fine. 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.

I thought I had done that, i'll check again just to be sure!

It seems that some sort of aircraft mod was causing the issue oddly enough, navel seems to be showing up now.

I had to delete all the old CH mods.  Some are prefixed with CH

Hello, all currenthill mods  are now broken, and dont work in DCS, what happened? Played just fine 3 days ago, now I see them activated in DCS modules menu, but i cannot add them in mission editor, there are just no mod's units in the list at all. Tried old assest and updated as well.

Read the few posts above this, you have to delete all the OLD CH mods. then the asset packs will work.

I found this out the hard way too.

One question, can anyone who buys the DCS MIG-29 Package fly the MIG-29 mod that currenthill made?

Nope, my aircraft are pure AI controlled.

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.

Good morning, I would like to point out that the CSLA_MOD_SVK_Sniper_v2.0 mod interferes in OB 2.9.2.49629 with the Military Asset Pack Ukraine 1.0.0 mod and does not allow DCS to start.
The mod worked up to OB 2.9.1.48335.
Once the CSLA mod has been removed, everything works perfectly (remember to update the Su-30Mk and JAS-39 mods with the related fixes for OB 2.9.2.49629)

null

The new Tu-95 really is a beauty, thanks a lot! For 1980s scenarios, it would be great to have a soviet skin in silver and with the old fashioned red star - any chance you might do one? If you're too busy, I might try to do a simple repaint as well, like I did for the H-6 to make it resemble a Badger.

That mod seems to be quite old. I see no reason to preserve old mods, especially when you can have counterparts better done by CH.

CH mods are safe to be used but are not intended to be 100% safe while using other mods.
