Lovely little bird!

[Hiob]

Just an unsolicited appreciation post.

I was using the C-101 for IFR training over the weekend (well, it's a trainer, isn't it) and I was reminded (again) what a labor of love this module is.
Really flying by the numbers, managing the limited amounts of power while utilizing the superb flight director really is very satisfying.

btw. is it still maintained/ in further development?

Thank you Hiob for your compliments!

Yes, sure, we keep maintaining it, and improving it from time to time.

Splendid!

Agreed, the support for this little bird is really excellent as it looks from the outside. I envy the users of this trainer; I'd wish the "other side's" trainer L-39 got as much attention as the C-101.

Thanks for a fantastic plane! I love how detailed the plane is recreated in DCS.

[phyrBlaine]

Absolutely! Thanks for Devs for a fantastic module!

[Supernova-III]

I agree! Please keep it going, so nice

This plane is pretty cool (as I move the plane hangar rank order of my DCS purchases during the July month long sale).

I really enjoyed in depth part 1 of the training mission.  Just wondering if there are some upgrades to textures in VR.  I am looking for minor texture upgrades, it is sometimes hard to read the text on the panels.  I can see some of the other birds in VR quite fine.  Performance is great on VR, if too texture heavy then the performance suffers (only have 8gb vram).

Thank you for the addon.

i know it is not on the table, but it would be nice to have the sea missile work without the need of mission editor.

Just loaded the C-101 practice missions and also loaded the required VPC Airfield Equipment Mod. Unfortunaly it CTDs DCS. Hopefully there will be a fix sometimes.

Hi! Where did you download the VPC mod from? There's a bug with it. I believe @Rudel_chw has a fix. 

Cheers!

Just click on the VPC Link in my post. It's from the Virpil website. If there's a fix I would appreciate a hint from @Rudel_chw

those c-101 missions are from 6 years ago, so that vpc link points to an pbsolete Mod. try this updated version instead:

Thanks ! I suppose 0.9.6 is the latest release?

P.S.: just installed 0.9.6. DCS still CTD unfortunately.

Post your DCS.log. I have a feeling it might conflict with other mods you have.

This is the error: "ERROR   EDCORE (5132): Can't open file: /shaders/model/fake_omni_lights.fx."

 

Seems you only installed half of the Mod, the VPC Mod has two components: one goes into /Saved Games/ while the other goes on the DCS program folder itself, like this:

 

 

On my PC those missions do work, just tested one of them:

 

 

 

 

I'm on other projects at the moment, so can't really provide more detailed help on the install of the VPC mod, sorry.

 

Eduardo.

Thanks for your time ! I'll check this later today.

I am struggeling to find the second link you mentioned. I just downloaded what I found below and loaded .fx files into /Bazar/shaders/model but DCS still crashes (see log file)

2) DCS 2.8 does not need anything else, but In order for the Mod to work on the older DCS 2.7 (and 2.5.6), (EDIT: and also needed on DCS 2.9 and newer) it requires the addition of two small files on the /Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/ path. Download this fix from this link:

The error is: "ERROR   DX11BACKEND (9064): Shader "/shaders/model/fake_omni_lights.fx" failed to compile. Reason:

It seems that the fix you have is too old, try mine instead:

 

 

VPC fix for 2.9.6 (by Shlee).zip

[TheBiggerBass]

searching, searching ... finally I found the fix for 2.9.6. It works now.

I suggest to keep both links together in the same post. That makes life easier.

P.S.: thanks for posting it again.

I can't place that information on the first post of the thread because I'm not the thread's author.

You want me to pin the above link in the first post? No problem, can do. Any additional explanations I should add to it?

No, wait. You weren’t talking about this appreciation thread, were you? But the Airfield equipment thread, right?

Yes, that's right. I could have started my own thread dedicated to the updated VPC Mod, but felt it would have been a disrespect to the author of this Mod, so I never did that, instead directing people to my post only.
