So it might work ok - the full upgrade will only happen when you progress to next stage.

Please let us know how you get on if you do update

I have a feeling that it will work (using the old save), I'll let you know when i'm done testing it.


And merry christmas guys!

Anyone else experiencing CTD with campaigns starting in Kiel (Mare Nostrum, Western Approaches)?

No CTD if I delete newly added files from library folder (Serge65 fixes for aeroplane guns).

Starting a new campaign, I can enter Kiel from Memel with no issues. I can then start next objective after bunker and all is ok.

Testing MareNostrom - same. No issues here.

This sounds like the issue users had before - remove one mod or another and CTDs stop. The only thing in common was a larger Mod list

As I wrote yesterday in sober's thread, I have spotted a little mistake within the newly added files by Serge. I ignore if and how this fact can be related with the issues reported by Sober and Vecko, but tomorrow I will post a patch, just in case

Tnx Trev...
Could you do one more thing please? Start Mare Nostrum, end patrol soon as you enter first mission and start new patrol without save in bunker. That's the moment when my game CTD most of the time... If everything is OK then I'll start to strip down my modlist...

A link to the this files already available in the relevant files .eqp aircrafts in OHII. These files are for those who do not understand in modding. For myself, I do not use these files, I add the necessary tools in the aircrafts .sim files. In addition, new aircraft need to register in the air group to air bases and aircraft carriers, otherwise they will not be in the game.

Gap, thank you very much for the model 100Lb bomb, I used it to create (only for me), cluster bomb (4X100Lb and i still have 4XDC claster). I can offer for new mods almost ready (recycled from SH4 and SH5 aircraft (you can knock down)): ADB_USDiveBomber, AFB_F4U_Corsair, FB_FW_190A5, AFB_P47, AFB_p38j, AFB_P51_Mustang, AFB_SeafireMkIIc, AFB_SpitfireMkVc, AFB_USCVEarlyWar, AFB_Wildcat, ALB_B17Fortress, ALB_Lancaster, ALB_MK.VIHalifax, ALB_PB4Y , ALB_Wellington, ALBS_G4M_Betty, ALBS_H6K, ALBS_H8K, ATB_Avenger.

Hi vdr1981

I started a new campaign
used silentotto to pick MN
started patrol
ended patrol
back in bunker in Kiel
started a new patrol
got teleported to La Spezia (this is due to a change of base within the time warp of 14days set in bunker)

no issues

The issue is with mod lists , not OH2 AFAIK

Putting aircraft guns in the library folder rather than directly on their dat/gr2 and sim files, is actually an excellent idea if we want to simulate different variants of the same aircraft, with different gun outfits.

@ Serge and Trevally

can you please explain what is needed for adding new aircraft/air bases in the existing campaign files?

I don't remember having uploaded that model here but I am glad that you have found it useful

By the way: I am planning to model the main British, American and German bombs, torpedoes and depth charges (and with a lower priority, Italian and Japanese ones), but I am a bit afraid that my 100 lb bomb you have imported is too detailed for game to handle it without stuttering. Have you noticed any frame rate loss using it?

Land folder (data\Land\LAB_LargeAirBaseRAF) with :-

LAB_LargeAirBaseRAF.cfg, *.DAT, *.sns, *.dds

cfg = squadrons:-

 
 [Unit]
ClassName=LargeAirBaseRAF
3DModelFileName=data/Land/LAB_LargeAirBaseRAF/LAB_LargeAirBaseRAF
UnitType=406
MaxSpeed=0.000000
MinSpeed=0.000000
Length=1
Width=1
 
[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19430101
EndDate=19451231
Squadron1Class=TBBeaufort
Squadron1No=12
Squadron2Class=LBWellington
Squadron2No=10
Squadron3Class=LBSAnson
Squadron3No=10
Squadron4Class=FBBeaufighter
Squadron4No=10
Squadron5Class=SSunderland
Squadron5No=10
Squadron6Class=SUSFloatEarlyWar
Squadron6No=20
Squadron7Class=SUSHeavyBomberVLR
Squadron7No=10

Then in ME2 add airbase as land unit
