charlielima 328 Posted March 26, 2006 Hey Gruppe and Mods, is anybody else having problems down loading the good stuff from this site? I keep getting shot down for just a small skin file here but I'm still able to download a 6 meg + file from another site. This is my prefered site. I'm not trying to state or hint that there is a better site then this. I just want my CA back. :ph34r: Thanks ALL. CL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Erik 1,812 Posted March 27, 2006 Hi; Here are some of the top responses I send to fix problems. 1. Make sure your browser settings allow for cookies from our domain combatace.com. If your security is set too high the site can't pass the information to your browser correctly. Try lowering them or setting them to a default setting. 2. Make sure your browser allows pop-ups from our site. All downloads are passed through a pop-up window to minimize full windows we open. If you use a pop-up blocker OEM or otherwise, disable it, or configure it to allow pop-ups from our site. We do not send advertisements or any other junk in pop-ups, it's safe to allow them here. 3. Is your account validated? Once you sign up for a username and password to access the forums and downloads we will send you an email to validate your account. If you don't receive this email because of security or spam settings on your email account then you will not be allowed to member only features such as downloads. Before joining please make sure you've allowed email from our domain at combatace.com. 4. Firewall / Antivirus software needs to be configured or set to allow for downloads and pop-ups. For obvious reasons we can't support each specific vendor's software and have to rely on the enduser (you) to make sure these types of security software are configured for our site. The good folks here work hard to keep our site safe and user friendly. While we can't guarantee that the internet is safe for everyone, we at least want you to know that your time here is and will remain a browser safe environment. Not all of these may apply to you specifically, but they are the top responses I send to existing and new members. I hope this helps and as Fates mentioned if you have more details we'd be happy to dig deeper into finding a resolve. Regards; Erik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Erik 1,812 Posted January 13, 2007 To upload images you can: Click the "My Controls" on the top right menu bar of this page. Once on the "My Controls" panel find the link to "Create Album" in the left panel.

edave 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Hi, I've been waiting for all the upgrading to be completed & issues to sort themselves out, but as of today still cannot download since Jan. 23 2007. After making sure I am logged in and going through all the menus (still showing as logged in) I get to the specific download page for the file I want, hit the "download file" button, and get an error message saying I have to be registered and logged in before dowloading. Then I re-log-in and go through the same cycle over and over. I download from many sites without a problem, and up till 1/23/07 everything was fine with Combatace. Any help on this? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edave 0 Posted February 7, 2007 OK Looks good so far. I put Combatace on a list of "managed web sites" to allow all cookies. It's the only site on the list! Thanks a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearzz 0 Posted May 7, 2008 Hey Gruppe and Mods, is anybody else having problems down loading the good stuff from this site? I keep getting shot down for just a small skin file here but I'm still able to download a 6 meg + file from another site. This is my prefered site. I'm not trying to state or hint that there is a better site then this. I just want my CA back. :ph34r: Thanks ALL. CL Awesome website. The layout and content look awesome. I only just purchased WOE and was looking for unofficial content (new aircraft scenery etc) and looks like this is the place. Unfortunately I have spent an awfully long time finding out how to download from the site (as a newbie this can be frustrating), then found a rule about the "5 posts before downloads are allowed". It's a shame because it's a bit of a carch 22 situation. How can you comment on something that you can't download? I appreciate that the guys putting the content out there deserve praise and some people would happily use this page as a download only pit stop but for those of us who want to honestly become part of the community this presents an uncomfortable barrier and is not a nice welcome to a new forum. Hopefully I will quickly get 5 posts and be able to download. I was very nearly put off altogether but after trawling Google for alternative sites I found that this is the best (if not only) place so I came back and tried again. So just IMHO the rule does not put across a good first impression. Anyway, grmbling aside I am looking forward to seeing some of the new aircraft and the hard work people have put into these games. Oh, can anyone point me in the direction of an idiot's guide to installing & using the new aircraft or maps etc? Many thanks. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place but as I said I'm new so bear with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUFF 8 Posted May 7, 2008 welcome :yes: but if you read the thread you would have seen that afaik we dropped the "5 post to download" ages ago - it was only trialled briefly. so, what problem are you having? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearzz 0 Posted May 7, 2008 welcome :yes: but if you read the thread you would have seen that afaik we dropped the "5 post to download" ages ago - it was only trialled briefly. so, what problem are you having? My bad, I was having an awful time of it yesterday and everything I clicked on said "You are not authorized". Then I found the 5 posts thing, then I found out that it had been scrapped and I have successfully downloaded one aircraft to try. So, currently no problems, other than being so new I don't have the first clue how to actually integrate any of the new content into my WOE game. Can you point me to a relevant thread or guide?

+Gunrunner 314 Posted May 7, 2008 Welcome aboard, to know how to add content, just have a look a the Knowledge Base : http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=99 It should answer most questions a beginner can have. Otherwise you'll always find someone to help you for matters not covered. As a rule, do a copy of your installation pre-modifications (or after a succesful one you'd like to use as a basis), so you can freely experiment with the game without fearing to break anything. Have fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have fun. The quality of the ReadMe files is excellent. Those will give you what you need to download most things here and then there is CA's extensive Knowledgebase. My suggestion is to download some environmental enhancements to WoE (e.g. weather effects and terrain), install them, and ensure they are functioning properly, then get the latest weapons kits. Following successful installation and function tests, then start with the aircraft. Please follow the directions and make backups when suggested. Welcome aboard.

Have fun. Hi Gunrunner, thanks for th info and the warm welcome. I looked in the section via the link in your post but the "Adding Aircraft" section is empty (possibly been moved or no-one uses this section anymore?). The skins readme was great though I can figure that out it ws very detailed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,884 Posted May 7, 2008 Hmm not sure where that is then - well you may have to search on some old threads for some of the info - the short version of installing a plane is Download it Extract it to a folder on your desktop Move the actual aircrafts folder (ie F-14B) to .../wov/objects/aircraft/ for example You will see all the othe planes in there so check out how they are arranged if you are not sure. the read me that comes with the plane may have instructions also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
