+HomeFries Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Additional USA Logbook Units for DCS World View File Latest version is only compatible with DCS World 1.2.4 and later.

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.

+Spectre_USA Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 This looks like a cool collection. Ever thought about some "retro" stuff? I realize that the 81st TFW did not fly the Charlie model, we were the biggest wing in the USAF back in the day. Any hope of adding the 78th, 91st, 92nd, 509, 510th, or the 511th TFS? They have a whole slew of variants here -> http://www.usafepatches.com/site3/81tfw.htm Shoot, if I have the time, I may just do so myself, with your fine addition as a guide... Quote
+HomeFries Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 No problems going retro, Spectre. I'll take a look at your link and add some more when I get an opportunity. Quote
+HomeFries Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 Spectre, Do you happen to know the nicknames of the 509th and 511th TFS's? Quote
+HomeFries Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Without further inputs, I'll upload the new version with the 509th and 511th listed without nicknames. Quote
