Thanks for this mod Der Schmutt.
Unfortunately i'm having the same problem as FloydRoses, the sky is permanently black.

Win XP SP2
ATI X800 GTO

AFRIKAKORPS · 05-23-08, 12:48 PM

Yep, Im having the same problem too, the sun is still sunny but the sky is pitch black. Also, are the menu words supposed to be in German? Because it has been years since I've spoken any German

01-13-09, 09:02 PM

THis sounds like ag reat add on, but I can not find the exe file above. At the web site is only the sound and voice mod, sky fix and ship mod for speed. THere was no exe file. Is this somewhere else?

Der Schmutt · 01-15-09, 11:58 AM

And again they have dissapeared! Grumble!
I'm uploading again...

Der Schmutt · 01-15-09, 01:01 PM

UKW! is uploaded again!

I immediately downloaded and started playing. After the installation, I did play a senerio and noticed the sky was dark. I did the weather fix and it looks good. It was great to see the dreadnought ship as well as other models.
One Question, I did download the Eng version, but noticed still the captains log and most of the menu screens are still in German. Did I download the correct version?

Please do not misinterpurt my question. I'll learn German before I uninstall. This mod is great! I love the sound of the loading process and the voices for commands.

Just a checking question. Thanks again for the repost. I do hope that more is to come. I would love to contribute, just that computer literate.

Good hunting

Der Schmutt · 01-16-09, 06:04 AM

Hi,

thanks for commendation first.
You have the right version, "Eng" is related to mission briefing text (before starting any mission). All menu screens are in German, hope it's not a real problem. Log is in German because I don't own an English copy of the game and ship types and names are also in german.

Schnee · 01-31-10, 08:19 PM

Is this file still available ? Tried D/L the ENG .exe fil but said file was unavaliable?

mikedora · 01-23-09, 07:24 AM

Hi

I am _really_ impressed by the Kurs West mod for SOF. This sim seems to be one of those that gradually comes to life as more and more enhancing mods come through.

There's just one thing that puzzles me. The installation notes refer to using "AA (game settings) and AF (graphics acc. settings). " What are these AA & AF settings, I can't find them!

Thanks

Mike

Der Schmutt · 01-27-09, 03:28 PM

Hi mikedora,

AA = anti aliasing, AF = anisotropic filter.
Both can be activated and adjusted in your VGA card settings, AA is also adjustable in game settings of SoF:
Hauptmenue (main menue) -> Einstellungen (settings) -> Grafikeinstellungen (graphic settings) -> switch "2xFSAA" or "4xFSAA" to "JA" (yes).

Greets, Der Schmutt
