• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Question about the freeware A-4

I've installed the freeware A-4 into the mods directory, but when firing up the sim, I get some weird error message that there's something wrong with the digital license of the thing and that it will be de-activated.

I know that this is a bit vague, I'll try to make a screenshot of the error message when I get it again. My DCS is not installed in the default location, and the path to the mods folder is:

D:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\

Any help would be appreciated!

I placed my A-4 into the "Saved Games" folder. Something like C:/Users/your Name /Saved Games/DCSOpenbeta/Mods/aircraft/A-4E . I've started using the OvGme program. Simple once set up and you can load and unload the Mod.

(On another topic, the A-4 creates additional problems for DCS beginners that you might want to avoid right now if you just want to fly. Easier to use a Flaming Cliffs plane or a plane module. JMHO.)
 
Needs to be installed here.
