[REL] WB's .mis files

[Wreford-Brown]

Dear WB: Magic made a post with the Pamir sailship in the "Screenshots thread"...A new ship for scripting...:03:

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

The Pamir model was originally released in Sept 2009. The ship herself was impounded by the New Zealand Govenment in Aug 41 but sailed from Wellington to San Francisco, Sydney and Vancouver, so she is a Pacific ship rather than an Atlantic one.

Of the six 'Flying P-Liners', four of the other five didn't make it to WW2 and the last one belonged to Chile.

A wonderful addition to SH3! Thank you very much!! :woot:

[Wreford-Brown]

But one question: Why is this airplane for .rnd File not for .scr ? :hmmm:

SCR files can become a little repetitive (especially for aircraft) as the only randomisation you can add is location.

RND allows me to randomise whether the aircraft appear, where they appear and how many aircraft there are. That means that I can create a file where there is a % chance of seeing a flight of IL-2 (with a flight consisting of between one and six aircraft) and also randomise the location they appear in. I can also mix up the aircraft in the flight so sometimes the IL-2 will be escorted by fighters and sometimes they won't.

When I have a little more time and inclination I'm considering revisiting some of my first SCR files and changing them to RND. At the moment, if you've sunk the RMS Titanic on a given day in a given location then you'll always be able to find her on that day in that place, and as long as you stake out the location she'll eventually appear on every patrol. RND reduces the chances of that happening, so sinking one of VonDos' behemoths would become a once-a-career event rather than one per patrol.

Oh, plus I just wanted a change :O:

I've already scripted the P-47D Thunderbolt but it looks like TP has reworked it. If you enable the model above, it will work with the old _SCR file, and the _SCR file is compatible with both the GWX and Stock versions of TP's model:

This is a re-release of Testpilot's P-47D with a better skin as the old version had minor problems such as three USAF symbols on the wings and fuselage. A big thank you to A6Intruder for letting me have Testpilot's improved skin: http://www.mediafire.com/?534rvspgd70v27w

Testpilot has given me permission to script his P-40 so I'll add it to my 'to do' list.

Thank you for keeping me up to date with his releases - I don't speak German and don't go onto the ubi.de forums, so if any new releases appear then please let me know.

Just for Magic, here is Testpilot's Curtiss P40 Warhawk scripted into an _RND file. The aircraft mainly saw use across the Mediterranean theatre and was primarily a low level intercepter and ground attack plane, but there may be some surprises if you research where the first confirmed USAAF air victory over a German aircraft was...

Hi WB,
the other one is a french LeO-C30 Gyrokopter. I do not know anything about this plane, without any weapons it is just fun for our 2cm guns.:D
You will find both on my Mediafire page Section "Zusätzliche Flugzeuge".
They are from a russian page:

[Wreford-Brown]

Thanks A6. I thought I'd raided all your planes a while ago but you're obviously still hard at work! :up:

Cierva C.30 Gyrocopter was used by the RAF throughout the war for radar calibration, so seeing them in the Channel and off the East coast is plausible.

You may have to give me a couple of weeks to script them - exam on Thursday then off to the States early Friday morning with work.

The link seems to be down for me...

I've adjusted the Readme and will try and chase down the original ship modeller.

[Wreford-Brown]

Another aircraft that has been found by A6Intruder - the Vickers Vildebeest.

The Vildebeest was almost obsolescent at the outbreak of WW2 but was still used by some RAF squadrons for convoy protection duties, flying out of Cornwall, West Sussex and Norfolk. These aircraft were replaced in 1940 with most squadrons taking on the new Bristol Blenheim so you'll only see them in the opening stages of the war, but they are a welcome addition to the skies of SH3.

This weekend I've got yet another of Testpilot's superb aircraft - the Supermarine Walrus.

Making this mod was a true history lesson. The Walrus looks very ungainly and almost a throwback to the biplanes of WW1. Having done a little research, it is apparent that the Walrus was a huge contributor to WW2 working predominantly in the Search and Rescue role looking for downed pilots. It served around the coasts of the UK and throughout the Mediterranean, following the action along the north African coast and on to Sicily and mainland Italy as they were liberated.

A big thank you to Lindley for suggesting the mod, to SSB for digging out the file for me and to Testpilot for giving us yet another aircraft to crash dive from. ALAAAAAAARRRMM!!!

Hello WB

A6Intruder sent me a link to his SH3 files :

http://www.mediafire.com/UffzRohledder

Included is the Macchi 205.
I suggested to him that you might be interested in scripting a Mission file for this plane:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=1915246&posted=1#post1915246

New Italian units in my opinion really add to the game.

[Wreford-Brown]

This is not so much a release as a re-release.

About a year ago I released a .mis file for Gerome73's FNS Strasbourg. At the time, I didn't know that the ship model I was using was incorrect and the model didn't include the correct guns or searchlights. Thanks to Gerome73, the LSH3 Team, SquareSteelBar and MissingName I'm now able to include the correct guns and searchlights including the French stripes. Enjoy seeing FNS Strasbourg in all her glory sailing around the Med!

If you've already applied the FNS Strasbourg .mis file, just enable the new ship files and she's good to go.

[Wreford-Brown]

The RM Roma had a short service life (just 15 months) and spent it's career transferring between bases while being hunted by firstly the Allied air forces then the Luftwaffe. She eventually fell victim to an attack by Fritz X radio controlled bombs while she was trying to sail to Malta following the Italian armistice.

GWX users will already be used to seeing the RM Roma anchored in La Spezia but I couldn't find her transit journeys scripted (bbw or jim will soon point out if I'm wrong!). I'm unsure whether users of other supermods have the ship modelled, therefore there are two .mis files - one for GWX users and the other for other mods:

http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww340/Wreford-Brown/RMRoma.jpg (http://www.mediafire.com/?j4913eoo531v4n9)

Hello WB,

So GWX users only need to add RM Roma GWX mis file in the folder and not Gerome's RM Roma model?

Thanks.

Update: Yes you do otherwise you get CTD.

So GWX users only need to add RM Roma GWX mis file in the folder and not Gerome's RM Roma model?

Thanks.

Update: Yes you do otherwise you get CTD.

Sorry - I was away for the weekend. You're right - you need to apply the ship model and the GWX .mis file.

[Lindley]

Thanks WB again great work for the Regia Marina.
Also great to see the Maiale in game.

It would be nice to see more Italian AI submarines in game.
I doubt anyone is interested in making an Italian submarine career for the game at this stage.

[Wreford-Brown]

I've only got one more .mis release at the moment, then I need to start hunting for more ship models...

[Wreford-Brown]

I have a slightly embarrassing confession to make - I created this file about two weeks ago and forgot I'd made it. :oops: While digging around my HD for another project I'm working on I stumbled across it, so my humble apologies for keeping you waiting, but here is another of TestPilot's excellent aircraft - the Macchi 205:

Sorry to point this out, but there seems to be a mistake with the roundels in this plane. Only one copy of the roundel with the "fasci littori" should be on each wing (not on the fuselage, where Italian planes sported a white band instead), while the white Savoia cross should be on the tail, not on wings.

Moreover, while the MC 205 was probably one of the best aircraft built in Italy, it saw little action before 1943, and almost none on the sea: the MC 200 or MC 202 would have been more frequently seen in Mediterranean skies.

In any case, thank you for your wonderful work.

@ Buhring

GWX need different roundel as the stock version of Sh3. This airplane was build for Ccom with "normal" roundels. The screenshot was make with GWX.

[Missing Name]

This weekend I've got yet another of Testpilot's superb aircraft - the Supermarine Walrus.

Making this mod was a true history lesson. The Walrus looks very ungainly and almost a throwback to the biplanes of WW1. Having done a little research, it is apparent that the Walrus was a huge contributor to WW2 working predominantly in the Search and Rescue role looking for downed pilots. It served around the coasts of the UK and throughout the Mediterranean, following the action along the north African coast and on to Sicily and mainland Italy as they were liberated.

A big thank you to Lindley for suggesting the mod, to SSB for digging out the file for me and to Testpilot for giving us yet another aircraft to crash dive from. ALAAAAAAARRRMM!!!



Many thanks! I've been looking forward to this addition. I'm also going to stick it onto British battleships and cruisers. Let me finish my current patrol...

[Anvar1061]

OK, so 5 months is slightly longer than the couple of weeks I thought this would take, but I've finally scripted A6Intruder's Avro Rota into the campaign.

the_frog released a number of destroyers back in March 12 and bbw gave some detailed instructions on how to embed them in the campaign:

Although the campaign files have been up on my MediaFire site they've never been formally released as I ran out of time to fully test them. There are two versions:

GWX St Naz (http://www.mediafire.com/?2j457ez0zqo3rt2) - only for use with GWX + bbw's St Naz mod.
Stock GWX (http://www.mediafire.com/?t3zj8y97r9rd50k) - for those not using bbw's mod.

Please let me know if there are any issues - a couple of people are using the mods with no problems but I haven't been able to apply my usual rigorous test procedures.

[fitzcarraldo]

Superb! Many thanks WB!

Question:

I have the Wilhelmshaven, St. Nazaire...mod v7. For me (but I could be wrong), the mod includes a modified GWX Merged Campaign. Is it really needed the activation of the GWX Merged Campaign optional after your destroyers mod?

Best regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

[Wreford-Brown]

This mod replaces the base campaign files and any campaign files in MODS so the_frog's ship will appear. If you want to use any campaign, you'll need to enable it after my mod.

[Troublous_Haze]

Or you simply could merge frogs ships into your campaign files. Haven't seen the files structure of this mod yet, but this is how I'm planing to do tomorrow I hope.

I wonder how should player treat this tiny detail f.e.: GWX has A&B class destroyers as one unit, but this mod gives A and B class destroyers as separate. I'm planning to add only those units that GWX had not covered anyway just because I don't want to feel weird when I spot two destroyers in a convoy that says: A&B Classes and the other one say A Class.

[Troublous_Haze]

So will I see these new destroyers in campaign if I did not messed with Campaign.SCR file ? Perhaps they will spawn randomly with convoys ?
But if I must include them into Campaign.SCR I would like to get Campaign.SCR only with these destroyers added (Without other GWX units, as I always did with new aircrafts) and I would then merge it into my excisting Campaign.SCR myself.

Hi WB!

I was wondering if you have any plans to update WB's campaign with VonDos' and other ships v2.7 to work with GWX 3 Wilhemshafen, St Naz, Schluese and extra ships V7 in the future? I know you are busy but, thought I would ask.

:salute:

That mod almost broke me! Trying to test it drove me to distraction and put me off modding for a good few months, so I don't intend to go back to it (sorry).

I've effectively replaced it with my .mis files, which means that people can pick and choose which ships or aircraft they want to install and also makes all the ships and aircraft compatible with any mod or group of mods. It's a little more effort to enable, but in the long term it may save me from giving up modding completely.

[HW3]

Understood completely, I can tell it was a lot of work. Thanks for the quick reply, and for all you do for us with your mods.

[J0313]

Several times over the past year and a half I have tried to install the ships via your .mis files and I have always gotten crashes no matter what. Ive tried with NYGM and GWX and neither work. I added the ships without the .mis files. Will they show up randomly then in convoys and TF? Also I made sure to follow you instructions using the mission editor and to no avail. I was wondering if you could post a copy of your .mis files and I would try and use those.

I have all the WB ships and mis files, and planes, without problems, in GWX and a huge lot of mods. I strictly applied the merge instructions, in the GWX Merged Campaign file. Not the latest destroyers.

The merchants - as the ships in MFM - appear randomly in campaign, without need of scripting. But the warships need scripting. The scripted merchants from WB mis files, as the Olympic class, have a determined path and times in the campaign (the Titanic has an scripted transatlantic route, historically acurate for that ship in her times), but the ships also will appear in convoys, randomly.

Do the convoys need scripting ? I bet most of them are spawning from .RND together with escorts that are warships as well. Or am I missing something ?

I also strictly applied them and got nothing. So I dont know what else it could be. The instructions are pretty simple and straight forward. I was thinking that maybe if I try and merge them all at one time and then save them maybe that would work, instead of doing them one at a tme. What do you think Fitz or WB?

A reminder that I'm still hoping for reply to my previous questions :Kaleun_Periskop:

Sorry - conference in the UK this week.

If you enable ships and don't use the .mis files, they should still turn up in the campaign in random convoys. Aircraft are a different matter as there are very few randomly scripted aircraft, so they are unlikely to turn up.

Hope that helps.

[Wreford-Brown]

I was wondering if you could post a copy of your .mis files and I would try and use those.

There's a possible answer to this in my first post:

Before you start, there are two things that you need to know about scripting units into your game:
1. Every computer has a different capacity when running SH3. My rig tends to CTD when the campaign_SCR file gets larger than around 8200MB and the problems that some people have had when trying to run IABLs awesome Merchant Fleet Mod are quite well publicised. I recommend adding one ship at a time rather than adding them is batches as this gives your best chance of finding the top end of your computer's capability.
2. Some ship models are incompatible with others and can cause CTDs. Generally, a single ship makers models are all compatible with one another but problems can happen when using models from different ship builders. Again I recommend adding one ship at a time to find any incompatibilities.

I've reached the point where I have so many .mis files that I have exceeded my system's top limit (around 8200MB), so I have only got a few of the ships enabled when I play. MFM is notoriously memory intensive, and if you apply enough of my .mis files you'll have the same problems with both ship models and the _SCR or _RND files.

If you enable the ship and it appears in the museum, there's a good chance that you'll see it in game and you shouldn't get CTDs.

[Wreford-Brown]

RL has been a little busy recently, but there's been time for a little scripting :03:

The Macchi C.200 Saetta (Thunderbolt) was a very successful Italian aircraft which flew more operational sorties than any other Italian plane, being a peer in performance terms to the famous Supermarine Spitfire. It was heavily involved in the Mediterranean, especially the Axis attacks on Malta, so anyone who cruises in the Med may wish to enable it. I haven't been able to chase down the original author (I believe it might be VAA or Psy06 from the sukhai.ru forums, but I have no way of getting it touch with them) so it's credited to unknown author (UKA). If anyone can confirm who created it, I'd be very grateful.

Yep, just the way I was thinking of. I assume .RND has also lonely DDs patrol zones, so it might be possible that one of these new DD could spawn as well ?

Thanks.

Another little known aircraft, this time a German one. The Foche-Wulf Fw58 was designed as a multi-role aircraft and was pressed into service as light transport and photo reconnaissance across all areas of operation.

Two recent releases but no comments - there's a few downloads showing on MediaFire so I hope someone's enjoying the new aircraft!

Tonight's offering is one of the most famous aircraft of WW2: the North American P-51D Mustang. Trying to script her was a bitch as her role was predominantly as a bomber escort and was therefore unlikely to target submarines. I've chosen to script her as a bomber escort over France, Germany and Denmark, so look out over the North Sea and (if you dare) the Channel.

The first choice is always right:03:
For serious. None of WB`s aircraft mis-files touch a plane that orginal came from GWX. All of his files touches additional planes. If you already brought them to GWX you could only use his mis-file. If not you need both and dont forget to bring the planes to airbases! How to do that you will find into the readme file of every of "Testpilot`s planes", also included in WB`s files.

A6Intruder is right.

Where I've scripted an existing GWX or stock aircraft I've noted it in the Readme. If I've used a fresh aircraft model but it already exists in GWX, you'll need to enable the model as well as the .mis files otherwise you'll CTD as each aircraft has a unique ID and the .mis file is linked to that ID, not the name of the aircraft.

Enable bbw's Wilhelmshaven, then extras v2.4c, then cut the extra .mis files into bbw's campaign.

[Wreford-Brown]

I'll be honest - I hadn't even heard of this aircraft until I came across the model for it.

By the start of WW2 (that was 1939, for our American colleagues) the Seversky P-35 was liked for it's ruggedness but had proven to be poor in performance terms, particularly when compared to it's contemporaries such as the Hurricane and Bf 109. Seversky was eventually forced out of his own company and the firm was rebranded 'Republic Aviation' of P-47 Thunderbolt, F-105 Thunderchief and A-10 Thunderbolt II fame. The P-35's primary role in WW2 was home defence around Sweden.

Hello Wreford Brown,

this is a windows setting. Within thumps.db, all thumbnail previews are stowed, when thumbnails are activated. You can switch this function off, but it depends on your operating system, how to do this. If you tell us which one you use, we can maybe solve this "problem".

Btw, i´ve been following your thread for a long time and i appreciate your great work although i haven´t got the time to include all your great extensions. But this will soon be the case. I´m sure i´ll enjoy it.

The detail on that Stuka is awesome - flaps, slats, the works! I don't recognise the German aircraft, but I'd love to get my hands on it with the Liberator and Avenger.

Are they in CCoM along with your other planes? rowi58 is happy for me to take files out of CCoM so I've already got 16 of your planes to script. You're definitely keeping me busy! :yeah:

[Leitender]

I'm still on XP, so any way of getting rid of it would be appreciated. Glad you're enjoying the .mis files!

Hi WB,
XP makes it easy. Please read the following and the thumbs.db won´t annoy you anymore:

At the moment you have to get Ccom. Rowis Supermod.:up:
The Liberator i guess you will find under my Sig in "Zusätzliche Flugzeuge" It should start with Ccom.....
Further I guess when Testi sends an PM to WB, we will see an release with mis.file soon.

Sorry WB. The DO17 is Not from me.I mean it was from Denis469????

[rowi58]

Hi WB,

the Do 17 you are showing is the "old" one from VAA, "released" by Denis_469 (in 2007). If you want to know "who made what" just have a look into my CCoM 9.0 documentation - the spreadsheet part. (within CCoM 9.0 i've a new version of the Do 17 by VAA with many tweaks by Testpilot).

Greetings

Another of Testpilot's babies - the Bristol Blenheim.

Although almost obsolescent by the beginning of the war, and severely outmatched by aircraft such as the Bf109, the Blenheim had the honour of being the first aircraft to cross the coast following the declaration of war. It continued to play an important role, albeit predominantly at night, until it was superseded in 1942.

[Wreford-Brown]

I've got quite a few aircraft to script and am in a bit of a quandary over which to release first...

As I've never scripted Swedish planes before (and despite not many people cruising up the Baltic) I've decided to start with the FFVS J 22 and Saab 17. They were both Swedish designed and produced and served during the tail end of the war. The FFVS J 22 flew from airfields around Gothenburg and was a peer of the P-51 Mustang in low and medium altitude performance. The Saab 17 was used for defence around Stockholm and was the first aircraft produced by Saab, who then went on the design aircraft such as the Draken and Viggen.

The models were originally produced for SH4 by the team of Dagon, EON, Severen and VAA (a team I refer to as DESV) and were then converted to SH3 by rowi58. rowi has kindly given his permission to use the files, pending hearing from the DESV team who have been inactive on subsim for some time.

I've got French planes, British planes, Italian, German, Russian and Japanese. Any preference?

[Lindley]

Hello WB Italian please.

VAA's Fiat G.50 Freccia. An important plane at the beginning of the war - it was fast and manoeuvrable and took part across the Italian theatres of operations as well as the Battle of Britain. In the longer term it proved to be undergunned and, ultimately, underpowered as the war progressed:

[machiavelli]

Hi WB,

Do you have a SCR file of all your .mis files in one? I mean all combined into one .mis file. So I don't have to go through each download?

Thanks.

[Wreford-Brown]

Hi WB,

Do you have a SCR file of all your .mis files in one? I mean all combined into one .mis file. So I don't have to go through each download?

Thanks.

Unfortunately not. Each system has a point at which it will CTD, and as everyone has a different personal installation of SH3 Mod Soup there may be conflicts between ships and aircraft outside my .mis files.

I recommend installing them one at a time, ensuring you see them in the Museum and then in the campaign before installing the next one. That way if you have a conflict you can see immediately what the conflict is rather than installing all 78 at the same time and getting frustrated with CTDs.

[J0313]

Do you think the dsd9 cfg's might cause a problem with adding the .mis files in the mission editor? I've noticed that when a high rez fix is installed then the mission file doesnt display right in the editor. what do you think?

[machiavelli]

Hi WB,

You are aware of the remap ID tool in S3D?
http://s3d.skwas.com/manual/remap/

Check it out. MOst issues are fixed by remapping ids because of conflicts.

[Madox58]

You need to dis-able the high res fix before opening the mis editor.
This is a well know problem.
:yep:

Yes the problem is solved, and with a simple .bat file in an elegant way

ren d3d9.dll _d3d9.dll
Sh3MissionEditor
ren _d3d9.dll d3d9.dll

with running this script you need not to rename it yourself (others found out themselves I'm sure). Only a rectangular map in the left corner appeared in the main window. I can recall the problem you mension where the 'accept' and 'cancel' button of the properties window were too low to be clicked. This doesn't happen anymore with a larger resolution screen, so I don't seem to need the patched editor. But thanks.

[Wreford-Brown]

This is one for Kaleuns in the Pacific - the Kawanishi H6K Mavis.

A long-range flying boat, it initially served in the front line before being replaced by faster, less vulnerable models. It continued to fly throughout the war, gradually being replaced in front line service and relegated to areas where it was less vulnerable.

The model itself is one of Trainer1942's series of Japanese aircraft.

Another Italian aircraft tonight - Gerome73's IMAM Ro.43. Not the most successful fighter of WW2, it was able to intercept aircraft like the Fairey Swordfish but struggled once faster, monoplane designs were introduced. It flew as a spotter aircraft through most of the war and served almost solely in the Med.

[JapLance]

Hi WB,

the plane in the screenshot is a Ro.43 search plane, not a Ro.44.

The Ro.44 was a single-seater:

Which one is the one Gerome73 created?

You are, of course, right. I've got the designation wrong but the scripting and model support Gerome_73's Ro.43.

Delete this line from EnglishNames.cfg: LBSRO44=IMAM Ro.44
And insert this line: LBSRO44=IMAM Ro.43

I'll change the files and upload them when I get some time - thanks for pointing this out :salute:

Great WB nice to see the Italian units getting the attention they

WB is it possible to use these planes in SH4?

A lot of these planes were converted from SH4, which implies that some sort of conversion is required.

The best person to ask is probably rowi58 as he converted them to SH3 for his awesome CCoM mod.

[Wreford-Brown]

An aircraft that needs no introduction:

The model is by VAA and has the H2S radar blister below the rear fuselage so you'll only see her later in the war.

[HW3]

That's just it, I do not want to see them.:nope: If I see them, it is usually too late, and death is just moments away.:dead:

Great work as always W-B:up:

[Wreford-Brown]

Another aircraft model from the Dagon-EON-Severen-VAA team converted to SH3 by rowi 58 - the Dornier Do18.

She was used mostly over the North Sea but was too vulnerable to fighters and was removed to training and air/sea rescue roles. She was eventually superseded by the BV138 (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7bdqj3zbk8hhjyr).

Thank you.

The models are contained in the mods, and I'm fortunate enough to get them from a number of sources - some have been found by other members who then send me a link and others are sent to me by the person who created them.

Most of the latest ones have come from rowi58's awesome CCoM mod.

A Russian aircraft for you today - the Yak-1 by VAA and Psy06.

It was the first in a large family of aircraft (over 37,000) and served across all Russian theatres of war. Expect to see her on anti-shipping patrols in the Baltic as well as in defence of Russian territory.

[Wreford-Brown]

Another German aircraft this evening - the Dornier Do17.

Nicknamed the 'flying pencil' due to her distinctive shape, the Do17 was a fast bomber who saw success at the beginning of the war but started to show her age by the Battle of Britain. Retired from front-line service in 1942, she nevertheless served across all theatres of the war.

[Wreford-Brown]

Some users (predominantly GWX) have been experiencing problems with the Avro Rota (they are very obvious when you check the Museum). Thanks to the advice given by machiavelli and the great S3D utility I've been able to remap the Avro Rota which seems to have got rid of the conflicts.

Anyone who has already applied the _SCR file doesn't need to reapply it - just change the Avro Rota aircraft model through JSGME.

http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww340/Wreford-Brown/A6IntrudersAvroRota.jpg (http://www.mediafire.com/?w67bmrb2zb66y33)

As an aside, privateer produced the Fa-223 - is the Rota also one of yours or has someone just used your 223 as a base?

[Wreford-Brown]

A French aircraft this time - rowi58 and Dagon-EON-Severen-VAA'a Latecoere 298. She was a new aircraft at the beginning of the war (having been introduced in 1938) and was initially used to seek out German ships before being re-roled as a ground attack aircraft during the defence of France. Following the fall of France, she continued to serve in the Mediterranean before returning to help with liberation.

Fabulous work, WB, thanks for taking the time to do all of this.

I do have a quick question regarding englishnames.cfg. I finished installing all of the aircraft last night, and everything runs fine. I've moved on to installing ships this morning, but noticed something fishy in some of the readmes. Example:

3. Open EnglishNames.cfg (C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX\data\Air\EnglishNames.cfg)
4. Add the line GMTerror=HMS Terror

Line 3 says to add the line to the AIR englishnames file. HMS Terror is a ship, so shouldn't the line be added to the SEA englishnames file? :hmmm:

I will assume the line should be added in sea/englishnames.cfg, but could you please clarify? It may not even matter for all i know, but still...

You're right, it should be EnglishNames.cfg in Sea. Probably a bad cut-and-paste job :oops:

Ships only, aye aye.:Kaleun_Salute: Looking at several of the readme files (all the same), it doesn't say where/when to add them. Though it seems the best place is toward the end since, they modify (so to speak) the campaign files. I think I will place them there.

Is there a combined version of this mod? I've seen references to the below and when I click on the d/l link, it goes to your file page but there are only individual .mis files.

Campaign Files for GWX Merged campaign + All Ships
Campaign Files for GWX Merged campaign + All Ships + All Aircraft

Sure would like a combined mod instead of load each individually.

They are deliberately separate as everyone uses different mod soup and some systems will have errors where files conflict. By enabling them one at a time it would allow any clashes to be identified and you'd only have to disable a couple of mods to find the offending one.
