Some mods bring up an alert about the mod overwriting Hot Files. Obviously, it says that they wouldn't advise it, but does this mean I should completely forget about installing the mod, or is this just a generic warning that I can safely ignore... or, do I back something up? I noticed it for the f16 mod, for example...

Yup, okay. I'm using Modman 6. I like how it (apparently) has fixed that CCD(?) issue (.....CCCD?.... You know what I mean...) I'll let you know if I discover anything. It's weird... I removed the one ZZZSpace (non-bitching betty) mod zip, and used the Archer Soundpack instead... which initially worked, but again did the same effect (engine/flare sounds gone on the A10 only).

I had previously had the 3 zip ZZZ Soundpack installed (using Modman), and it seemed to work fine. Now, the a10 engine sounds are completely silent, and the only fix seems to be to remove the one zip from the 3 zips (...the one that isn't a Bitching Betty one). That fixes it, but it's a drag I can't use that. I have the Archer soundpack instead. Anyone run into that, and know of a fix?

These were installed using Modman 6... It actually worked initially, for days... then only the a10 engine sounds (and flares) went silent. All other sounds still worked, including the other 2 ZZZSpace zips. I'll have to tinker with it. The sound files didn't get corrupted, as they do work individually. So, I'm thinking some init file got messed up or something...

Damn, Ruggbutt! You are seriously 'on the ball'! Much appreciated! I actually just found and downloaded those missions earlier today. I have to try them out still. That may address exactly what I'm looking for. I was having trouble with it before. I tried loading an existing A10 mission (default one from the LOMAC install) into LMR, and saving a randomized version... but, as I said, it didn't seem to actually create a file. I'll try these new files next. Thanks again for all the help so far! Cheers!

When I see that warning about Hot Files, I generally just cancel and skip the mod. I did let ONE get installed. The FPS mod actually didn't install 2 or 3 of the packets (graphics.init, etc)... I think it was a Hot File thing. Anyway, I backed up the files that it said it would have copied over, and let it install. So, I hope I can just put the Hot Files back... Seems like many of the mods are Modman 5 versions, so I'll have to keep my eye out for that...

Hello again, Ruggbutt. Ya, I'm using FC. I thought I had it fixed when I removed the one (of the three) zips, but now it's silent again! Damn... I'll pull out all the sound mods and see if it comes back. I'll look into the FC version of ZZZSpace. Haven't seen it yet. BTW, the last suggestion you gave me regarding the A10 Mavericks always missing (put Missile Effectiveness up) works great. Thanks!

Some mods change the external view so you can move the camera 360 degrees in any direction... but I hate how you often end up underground as a result. So, I'd rather it be back the way it normally is, but I have no idea where the setting is for putting it back to normal. Anyone know?

Oh, I thought that was just for enemy missiles... Okay, I'll give that a try. Thanks...

I really liked the one mod for LOMAC where the F4 view is pulled back a bit (towards front of plane) so you can see the pilot as well as the tail. However, installing the FPS tweek mod seems to have messed it up, as now half the plane model is missing in that view. I think it's an issue with the view.cfg file being overwritten. Just wondering if anyone is using both those mods, and knows how to fix that...
