Mateo Posted July 14, 2024 Posted July 14, 2024 Hi, based on Devrim mod, old DCS cockpit livery and my rework of that all - I have made a new cockpit livery while waiting for FF version of MiG-29. I am going to share it, when it will be finished. Unfortunately after update 2.9.6.57650 FC3 structure of files changed and my mod doesn't work anymore. I have copied the cockpit files to new folder: D:\DCS\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\MiG-29\Liveries\Cockpit_MiG-29A\English (Mateo) I have choosen it in DCS of course, and unfortunately I see default cockpit livery instead of mine. description.lua and screens taken before update attached. Somebody advise on new file structure ? description.lua 1
Mateo Posted July 25, 2024 Author Posted July 25, 2024 Could some of you try to choose customized cockpit in DCS. One of below two examples are valid. I can't force it work (just like mine), but I could before last two updates. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3335443/ https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2081947/ I hope someone will help, ED ticket didn't solve it. Best Regards, Mat

Hi, Ok, I tested your Mod under the latest DCS and found that the cockpit only works if I rename it "default". The same thing happens on older versions of DCS if I try to customize the individual Mig-29, but if I use the FC3 custom cockpit then it takes the new cockpit with your name. This seems to be an old issue of FC3, that now is more obvious because there is no FC3 anymore, we have to use the individual FC aircrafts.

Mateo Posted July 26, 2024 Author Posted July 26, 2024 Thank you @Rudel_chw Your test is the confirmation of my theory that customized cockpit of MiG-29 doesn't work as it should. I will report it to ED. Best Regards 1
Mateo Posted July 30, 2024 Author Posted July 30, 2024 ED answered to my ticket: Quote You're probably right. However, it remains for us to explain to programmers that they should take into account the opinion of the creators of user mods. But we won't succeed anyway, sorry
Rudel_chw Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Probably a response google translated from russian language ... in essence they say that as soon as there is a user mod involved, ED support can't do anything.

Volator Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 Just noticed that Devrim's English cockpit livery also doesn't work anymore, just like OP described... dang it, I liked that mod. 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven
Mateo Posted July 31, 2024 Author Posted July 31, 2024 If somebody want to use it, you need to replace default livery, and then it will work fine as default. Anyway, if we have build-in-DCS setting that doesn't work anymore after last update it is a dishonor and shame for developer to broke this setting with update and just leave it. Regards, Mat 2 1

Thats true. I just wondered same yesterday when changing flanker to chinese that why isnt ed take, if not draw emselves, customized looks by default as there is easy choise even built in feature in settings.
