How to know if a mod needs installing client side or server side?

[markturner1960]

Hi, as title, have recently rented a server for me and some friends and having some issues understanding exactly how and where various mods are installed......Is there an easy way to work this out? Or do I need to labouriously contact each mod maker and ask them? 

What differentiates a client side and server side mod as well? 

 

Thanks

Ground vehicle mods go into the saved games/DCS/Mods/Tech folder while aircraft mods go into the .../aircraft folder instead of tech.

If unsure, check if there is a readme coming with it, an installation guide or sometimes the creator has given you the whole path of the installation directory with the mod itself so you can just drag it into the saved games/dcs folder.

Both on the client and the server.
