Hi Haac

 

There is a little tutorial in The Knowledge base by Wrench.

 

So try it:

 

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=19630

 

Various terrains are located in download section (WW2 New Guinea Full Scale Terrain, WW2 Tunisia/Malta Terrain, WW2 North Africa Terrain, Battle of Britain terrain). I think some terrains are uploaded on Avsim library, too.

 

In the CA download section are placed two campaigns for WWII (If I am wrong, correct me please ):

Third WWII file placed in download section is for multiplayer, I think: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=3411

 

That is all what I know abot WWII packs. I have read about specific WWII era instalations (for example Wrenchs tutorial), but I don't know where I can download another campaigns for them

 

So every post in this topic can help me too

Haac: what exactly are you trying to build (ie: which theatre?)

 

Wolf's WW2 planes pack has both Luftwaffe and IJN/IJAAF aircraft, Edward's WW2 terrains have lots of WW2 ground objects built in; there are ships here at CA, more vehicles at Geo's site (the link is in my tutorial); lot's of Dev A-team aircraft (here at CA - Hurri, Spits, Ju88, He111, Ki61, Ki27, A5M) AD's IJN pak has the Zeke, Betty and another Oscar. etc, etc, and of course, etc.

 

All you need is hard drive space!!!

If you have any trouble getting them to run, just ask.

 

Happy hunting,

Since a WWII campaign involves prop-craft, is there any advantage --or problem-- with using FE ???

 

I've read Wrench's tutorial on the subject at CA: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=19630

...and he says "these instructs are built around WoE, but are the same for any of the other in the series: SFP-1, WoV, or even FE..." [paraphrased]

 

As I understand, TK has introduced advanced AI coding in FE, so it would be great to use that game for "in-your-face prop-jock dogfights", BUT is FE compatible with 3rd party PROP aircraft MADE for the 3rdWire JET sims???

 

Has anyone used FE for WWII campaigns effectively???

[+Baltika]

Well, as an experiment I just dropped the A-team's Hurricane Mk 1 folder into my aircraft folder of FE. The game started a single mission flying the Hurri, and I got into the air (very bumpy take off over grass!), but there seemed to be some sort of rendering problems inside the cockpit (clipping issues I think). Also, I could not select a mission date so who knows what sort of opposition would appear. I seem to remember reading a thread to the effect that dates are restricted in FE, but there may be a workaround for that.

 

As for campaigns - haven't tried yet. That would mean getting Gepard's BoB terrain working in FE, which may or may not be possible.

 

I also seem to remember reading that a further round of patches is on the way, so perhaps SFP1 etc will be brought up to FE standards in due course.
