Training tracks and videos in DCS: BS v. 1.0.2

[Baal1606687932]

Hi all,

 

I would like to introduce to you two little mods.

 

The first one: "Training Menu Fix"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod removes "Training tracks can't be played..." message box from Training menu in Black Shark v. 1.0.2. Now you can watch Training Videos downloaded from official DCS Black Shark site. Mod compatible with ModMan 7.3.0.0.

 

The second one: "DCS: BS v1.0.0 Training Tracks" v. 1.1

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Old training tracks prerequisites to Black Shark v.1.0.2. Mod compatible with ModMan 7.3.0.0.

This mod prepares old training track files to be compatible with new DCS: Black Shark v.1.0.2. directories structure.

 

Changes in version 1.1:

Track files were removed from the zip file as the property of ED.

Use RestoreTracks.bat located in \Training\BS\en directory to copy tracks from Backup folder.

NOTE1:

Training track files were recorded in version 1.0.0 of the game, so they may be played incorrectly in 1.0.2.

 

NOTE2:

To remove "Training tracks can't be played..." message box from Training menu use "Training Menu Fix" mod.

 

 

Best regards,

Baal

Hi,

 

Sorry for late response. I assume that you dewnloaded new version (v. 1.1) of Training Tracks mod. The major change is that new version does not contain training tracks anymore (tracks are property of ED so i dont want to distridute these files under Freeware license).

If my assumptions are correct you can use RestoreTracks.bat in a way presented in ReadMe.txt file:

 

To copy tracks from Backup folder use RestoreTracks.bat file located in "Training\BS\en\"

or copy them manualy using following key:

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_01_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Familiarization\Track1\lesson_01_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_02_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Familiarization\Track2\lesson_02_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_03_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Familiarization\Track3\lesson_03_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_04_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Preflight Preparation\Track1\lesson_04_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_05_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Preflight Preparation\Track2\lesson_05_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_06_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Preflight Preparation\Track3\lesson_06_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_07_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Basic Flight Procedures\Track1\lesson_07_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_08_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Basic Flight Procedures\Track2\lesson_08_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_09_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Basic Flight Procedures\Track3\lesson_09_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_10_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Basic Flight Procedures\Track4\lesson_10_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_11_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Basic Flight Procedures\Track5\lesson_11_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_12_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Basic Flight Procedures\Track6\lesson_12_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_13_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Basic Flight Procedures\Track7\lesson_13_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_14_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\ABRIS Advanced Moving Map System\Track1\lesson_14_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_15_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\ABRIS Advanced Moving Map System\Track2\lesson_15_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_16_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\ABRIS Advanced Moving Map System\Track3\lesson_16_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_17_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\ABRIS Advanced Moving Map System\Track4\lesson_17_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_18_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\ABRIS Advanced Moving Map System\Track5\lesson_18_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_19_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Combat Employment\Track1\lesson_19_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_20_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Combat Employment\Track2\lesson_20_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_21_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Advanced Flight Maneuvers\Track1\lesson_21_eng.trk"

"Backup\missions\training\lesson_22_eng.trk" --> "Training\BS\en\Advanced Flight Maneuvers\Track2\lesson_22_eng.trk"

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

Btw.

You can also download video trainngs from this official DCS site.

It doesn't seem to be working. The backup folder is empty, so I can't copy the files from that folder to the other one. Any ideas?

[Baal1606687932]

If training tracks were deleted from your Backup folder you can extract them from the Black Shark DVD.

You need to open setup.exe file in some compression tool (WinZip/WinRar/7-Zip etc.)

I am using 7-Zip so in my case I just right click on setup.exe file and select 7-Zip -> Open archive

Then go to the folder "\$_OUTDIR\Missions\Training\" inside archive and extract all files to your Backup\missions\training directory. Then run RestoreTracks.bat from my previous post and everything sholud work fine.

[DanKurt]

I did as you said ie copied all the tracks into the correct folders, so each folder contains the copied track file along with the lua file that came with your mod.

I am able to see the training menu in the game but they wont launch.

Any further ideas?

[Bucic]

Is there a video version for every single training track? It seems that the DCS BS main site has only few.

 

EDIT:

And why do I even have to ask this question?! :disgust:
