IJNAkagi Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 Hey CH! First of all, huge fan of your Mods! Been playing since the A-10C released on CD ROM in... what was it, 2011? 2012? Long time ago. I'm really happy that my friends showed me the work you're putting into making DCS a much more "alive-looking" environment with all the Units! I know how much time 3D modelling takes up though, but since you said in your FAQ you appreciate suggestions, I couldn't help but try my luck~ For years and years I've been hoping, borderline praying for someone to do at least some JSDF Units. My Grandfather is Japanese and it's my second home. With the Saipan Map, I love to fly the F-16 and F-15E as F-2A and F-15DJ placeholders. Your Chinese assets are already amazing~ And I know there are certain old Mods of the Type 10, Type 93 and a few others. But these Mods are very old, some have lots of bugs and outdated scripting/modelling. Again, I know how much 3D modelling takes. And Japan isn't really a nation that is often thought about when flying DCS... But to me personally and to my circle of close friends, we'd absolutely love just a few Units of my beloved JSDF. Even if it's a Type 16 and that's it, I'd already be in heaven I really don't want to sound like I demand anything... But in case you are thinking about actually doing some of our Units, the best and most useful in DCS World would likely be Mogami Class Frigatte Type 87 SPAAG Type 93 SAM Type 03 中-SAM Type 81 SAM Type 11 SAM For Ground Units Type 10 Type 90 Type 74G(改) Type 16 LAV Komatsu (Can mount a Type 01 ATGM, TOW or Machine Gun) Type 87 Scout vehicle These are a lot of vehicles I listed of course, but take these as a list of potential suggestions. I definately do NOT demand anything- Just some of these would already make me probably ignore my University and Job for the four weeks directly following their release- www Though, whether you are able to make some of them into reality or not, I am already glad to use all your other Assets in the Missions I'm building for my friends. They make DCS World so much more unique and fun for all of us! Keep doing what you're doing and stay awesome! 日本からありがとうございます！お疲れ様です！ 7

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: This was VERY USEFUL. Thanks mate! 2

I found this out the hard way too. Yep, I made a new Mods folder, put Currenthill's mods in there and slowly transferred all my MODS accross, testing after each bundle, until it got stuck, and worked down that list until I found ones that were messing me up, On the USA1 it was , "Modern US Warships 1.2.....something," .Took some hours, but it's all sorted now. 2. s

Kappa-131st Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 Hi @currenthill It seem that the most heavy packages (Russia, USA and Sweeden) do not work with OVGME now... The lighter package work well, but the ovgme don't display the heavyests. If you try to import with "Import mods" => The file zip is not valid. I tried to re-download several time the failures mods : Sames issues. I tried to repackage the mod : Same too. I will dezip the package on mod/tech to solve the problem, but it seem we can't use anymore ovgme with the heavier mods. Does anyone have the same problem? Have we exceeded a weight limit for OVGME? 1
Namonid_2020 Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 Dear Currenthill, First of all MERRY CHRISTMAS. THX for the amazing mods! My wishlist is very short. If you have time and motivation I would appreciate a Royal Navy Type 23 destroyer and/or a Type 42 frigate. Currently it is impossible to create any British campaign for DCS. Something is always missing. (AV-8B could be a Harrier GR.5A or a GR.7, but there is no more asset in its era.) MANY THANKS. Best.

Yeah, it's been somewhat of a ride with the 2.9 updates. A lot of issues are corrected, while introducing new ones. So it's hard to say when one should hop on the train. There are still issues with the weapon schemes in 2.9, unfortunately. I'm looking forward to the next DCS update. _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

RWC One reoccurring issue is when ED changes a weapon scheme and add a required parameter for a weapon. Obviously mod makers can't guess beforehand which parameters will be added or required in the future. These kind of issues are usually critical and will crash DCS. The only way to fix them is to update the mod and make it compatible with the new parameter requirements. 3 _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

RWC Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 Thx CH, this might be the issue indeed since the ADM is still updating his mods atm. I have all his mods updated, and will start adding them one by one now from the latest to the oldest to see which one it is that causes the issue...it is the only way. I hope i can get some good results for all of us. RWC 1
