OVGME not working as expected

[Burnhaven]

Since various multiplayer servers require or don't allow certain Mod aircraft, I was trying OVGME but although it seems to pull from my specified source directory, what it writes under savedgames\dcs.openbeta is not what's needed -- kind of scatters a few files here and there. On the left in the file explorer screenshot is the Hercules subfolders under savedgames\dcs.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft
On the right is the Bronco folder OVGME is supposed to pull from as in the profile I set up for it. Do my OVGME config folders look about right?

Using Folder names with blanks in it may cause problems. Try to put the paths in quotes, like "C:\DCS Addon Saves"

(Or rename your folders to C:\DCS_Addon_Saves)

Oh, and the backup folder shouldn't be a subfolder of the mods folder. It's better to put those two next to each other.

I think OVGME expects only mods (either as .zip or as folder)

 

(Sidenote: usually mods go into the main game folder not the savegames. At least the ones that servers care about.)

Doing it this way worked.   I created a new OVGME profile with the ....mods\aircraft folder as it's root. So probably a profile for mod aircraft, another for mod liveries etc etc

Are servers really complaining, because you have aircraft mods installed? Never had that problem before.

Yes, for example the death from above servers want the Uh-60L and Hercules mod aircraft  AND  the presence of any others will prevent you from logging in.   A friend's MP server requires the Bronco.

ok, interesting.
