Additional USA Logbook Units for DCS World 1.04

Latest version is only compatible with DCS World 1.2.4 and later. For 1.2.3 users, be sure to download version 1.02.

 

ModMan 7.3 with the November 2012 update is required to use this mod. If you arent using ModMan 7.3 (Nov 2012), then see the bottom of this file for manual installation instructions.

 

This mod adds squadrons and patches to the selectable units in the player logbook, and replaces the default squadron line art with actual squadron patches. Units included employ the A-10, F-14, F-15, F/A-18, or the UH-1.

Additionally, I copied the USA selectable patches from Ka-50 Black Shark and added them to the selectable units. This should hopefully suffice until DCS World can read the USA.lua files from multiple modules (DCS World as of 1.2.3.9871 only reads from "A-10C."

 

I also added some UH-1/HH-1 units for the UH-1 Huey module:

20th Special Operations Sqn. (USAF)

HA(L)-3 Seawolves (USN)

HA(L)-5 Blue Hawks (USN)

HML-367 Scarface (USMC)

HML-767 Nomads (USMC)

HML-770 Sock Eye (USMC)

HML-771 Hummers (USMC)

HML-776 Gangsters (USMC)

VMO-2 Cherry Deuce (USMC)

VMO-3 Scarface (USMC)

VMO-6 Tomcats (USMC)

1st Cavalry Div. (Airmobile)

10th Mountain Div.

101st Airborne Div. (Air Assault)

 

Finally, I added a number of aircraft type patches (e.g. F-14 Tomcat) as selectable units, expanding the list of selectable airframes.

 

Special thanks to Outcast and Killer_R, whose FC2 mod of similar type inspired me to do this mod. I have also used Outcast/Killer_R's USA.lua from FC2 as the starting point for my determination of which A-10/F-15 units would be included in this mod. However, all included graphics are my own edits taken from public sites in accordance with the FAIR USE act.

 

Manual Installation (1.2.4+):

If you wish to manually install this mod, then back up the following files/folders in DCS World:

\Scripts\Database\Troops\USA.lua

\MissionEditor\data\images\Countries\USA\Troops (entire folder)

 

Manual Removal (1.2.4+):

1. Copy your backup USA.lua to \Scripts\Database\Troops\, allowing overwrite.

 

Optional (the files don't hurt anything, but can be removed in the interests of storage space):

2. Delete the contents of your \MissionEditor\data\images\Countries\USA\Troops folder (you did back them up, right?)

3. Copy your backups to the \MissionEditor\data\images\Countries\USA\Troops folder.
