Viggen Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Hope my WOV campaign still works. Any idea if Helos or CVs still will work as well? Edited September 22, 2008 by JA 37 Viggen Quote
+Baltika Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Now to find out if my terrain still works. pfunk Yes, loving the new patches, but, checking out 5x wip terrains and twice as many wip campaigns to make sure they still work is gonna be. . . fun OTOH, YES New Patches Quote
+Brain32 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Hot damn! I can ditch my WoI--->WoE zombie mutant ninja installation now :D Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I can`t read the readme can someone post it here I get everytime an error Quote
+Piecemeal Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I can`t read the readme can someone post it here I get everytime an error Second that. Also, I'm no expert on this new patch so I think I'd rather wait until some feedback comes this way on how effective it is. It's an awful pity they've decided to leave Strike Fighters in the boneyard.......anyone concur?? Quote
FastCargo Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 If everything that is in SFP1 (other then the terrain) can be found in WOV/WOE/WOI, then it doesn't matter. I have a mutant install already with the SFP1/WOV/WOE terrains in my WOI install and they work fine. This will be even better in that a lot of the WOI enhancements will now work in the other sims. And I think I can get those enhancements in the SFP1 terrain too. So if the campaigns work, the objects exist, and the terrain objects have the new enhancements, then I can leave SFP1 and be happy.

Thog10 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Ha! And on the day that I finally broke down and bought WOI because I needed an up to date WO* for my week off. Well, I'm glad to support TK, and now I have even more flying to do this week. (Flying or installing various mods? Hmm, probably a bit of both.) Happy patching, everybody! Quote
kct Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Oh god yes. They better need to be able to make shadows without making it look weird! (ATI user here.) Edited September 22, 2008 by kct Quote
Fubar512 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I'm uploading the patches to our server right now, all three should be available within 15 minutes. That should free up some of TK's bandwidth. Quote
+Piecemeal Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 This may not be such a bad thing since I'm getting a new laptop this weekend (sound of rubbing hands). Will be looking forward to to some feedback AND more importantly; screenshots. Especially from WOE Quote
hide86 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, just tried the new WOE patch on a spare install, silly question..... How can I prevent the patch from completely screwing up my weapons? (Buny's pack + countless addon weapons) I also noticed that many aircraft now show avionics issues, like the MSIP F-15Cs, not showing radar, HUD and other thingies.... escept for this issues, it looks SWEEEET!!!!!!! Thanks in advance for your help! Edited September 23, 2008 by hide86 Quote
kct Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 This is what I did. Install the said WP in another folder, and copy them over to your installation AFTER you patch the said installation. This should solve the problem of BunyapPak screwing up, or anything that might change bits of aircrafts (BunyapPak does that). Quote
hide86 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Well, i patched the install and found out that my weps folder was still there, almost intact. I copied back a copy of the latest wepdata and open/saved it with the editor, but nothing, it doesn't even show the wepdata.cat.... What the heck's missing now???? I mean, I don't even see any new weapon, like AIM-54s or something.... didn't recheck the avionics but I assume the problem's still there....... Edited September 23, 2008 by hide86 Quote
+ST0RM Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 You guys should patch a clean install. Otherwise you're more than likely going to lose some things. Storm Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 You know, I'm thinking I just may go scorched earth as well. It will take a lot of tweaking to get things back the way I want, but I have such a ginormous amount of HDD real estate with all these varied installs. Install, patch, combine and tweak. I have the day off tomorrow for my wife's Birthday, but I'm sure she won't mind me taking half the day get my Thirdwire sims squared away, eh? Quote
