Panzer Elite info?
So I pulled out my dusty old copy of Panzer Elite and gave serious thought to giving it a go. I have a laptop now with a built in Graphics card so T-34 vs Tiger or Steel fury is out of the question.
So the last time I played Panzer Elite was pre mods of any sort. Has the mods changed this sim much? Ostpak worth it? Any others you would recomend? Or would it be wise to just put it back into the closet?? |

So I loaded the old girl and with compatibility set she fired right up.
I downloaded and installed the mods with JGME and the game crashes anytime I try to go into any real time action although the menu's still work. Any Idea's? |

PEDG
Freiwllige do you have the Ostpak installed and enabled with PE3?Because there re not compatible.What you need now to play with PE3 are scenarios 2009 and 2010 they combine all the former Ostpak and Desert missions in 2 separate mods that you enable after PE3 in your JSGME.What seems to be happening si thta you are missing mission files which why your games loads only the menus and briefs and not the mission.PE3 can be a bitch.I had the same problem at some time.Can't remember how I solved it though.
The bets spot to go for help with PE is the PEDG forum solely dedicated to PE where all the fans and modders meet to discuss mods and solve problems. Look for BritAldo44 he is very helpful and knows PE like the palm of his hands.Here s the link: http://pedg.yuku.com/forums/1/t/PEDG.html Luck! |

As you can tell I've done my homework! I spent hours last night trying different advices on forums, different compatibility modes, downloading DirX 9c, changing every executable to compatibility mode etc, No Joy. Stock works wunderbar! Any Mod and my CD becomes a drink holder! Stock the game is less than ideal, So I appreciate your help and I will keep plugging away at it but from what I understand Vista is probably the issue. |

PE3 uses PE-x in it and on the PEDG PE-X group forum it says they wont support Vista!
So I assume that the old ostpak etc will work but wont have the modern physics and time of flight because that is all PE-x mods doing. So I will hack away some more but I have a feeling I have come full circle with this. Thanks for the help though guys. |
