Additional USA Logbooks for DCS World (USN, USMC and USAF)

[Top Jockey]

It should already be compatible with the latest OpenBeta; the db_countries.lua hasn't been updated since before the Tomcat came out. And VF squadrons have been in the mod since day 1. :thumbup:

 

Hello again,

 

Well I didn't install any MOD software, just unziped the files / folders at their respective destination, and everything seems fine - thank you for this mod !

 

I have a doubt: is there any way of getting the log's background color in the beige tone, like the one you have at the orginal post ?

 

Thank you.

You're welcome. You can add it directly, but just so you are aware the updated db_countries.lua will fail integrity check on a multiplayer server.

That color scheme is from DCS 1.x.

Yes, I've read that at the readme notes.

Great mod, it really adds to the immersion felling.

edit:

 

One minor lapse - the folder:

 

...\Logbook Improvements - Master\Logbook Improvements - Master\MissionEditor\Data\Images\flags, does not have "flags" images, but "stripes" images instead.

Hello again.

 

Just a minor doubt, one of my pilot profiles as US Navy, does have:

- more than 11 flight hours;

- more than 60 kills;

- 6 medals.

 

But the pilot rank is still "ensign".

 

Is it supposed to be like that or do I have something messed up with my mod ?

Thank you.

Sorry, didn't catch your post until now. IIRC, rank is based on campaign missions completed, not flight hours. Complete some SP campaigns to make LTJG.

Hello,

 

It seems that the mod doesn't work with last 2.5.6 update on OpenBeta.

 

Trying to install it with OvGME with no luck and same with manual install. Still USAF Agressor instead of USN.

 

Regards.

Home Fries - a big THANK YOU ! :thumbup:

 

Having a specific pilot profile at the logbook for the F-14, just wasn't the same without the US Navy ranks, squadrons and medals.

 

All the best !

Thank you again !

 

I'm waiting for ED to make the US Navy cathegory permanent at the logbook.

I'd be happy if it passed IC! :music_whistling:​​​​​​​

It's working alright with the last week's 2.5.6.57264 Open Beta ( 04 / 11 / 20 ).

As long as the sub-folders's content from USN and Master are in their respective PC folders, everything is there ( navy squadron insignias, medals, ranks, stripes, etc.)

 

I'm not a programer so I don't know how much work does it take, but it would be awesome if ED incorporated the US Navy cathegory in the logbook.

 

edit

 

Oh I remember now, yes everytime there's a new patch for DCS it gets incompatible with IC.

That's why they really could make it the US Navy a permanent cathegory.

I am sure I am being a bonehead here.  I use OvGME and it is working with other mods.  When I drop the Zip files into the OvGME directory, I can select and activate this from there.  BUT when I go into DCS, I don't see anything different in the logbook.  I am using the stable branch.  Any ideas??

Same here, but with open beta version.

Sometimes it happens when ED updates come out...

You have to unzip the zip files...
