LCountach Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I am very new to this sim and I am having a bit of trouble. I am running patch Sep2008. I downloaded several Addon aircraft but only one is available in multiplayer. The rest simply don't show in the list of available aircraft. They all work just fine in single player but won't show up in multiplayer. How can I fix this? Downloaded Aircraft: F-16C Blk50/52 http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1570 MiG-29G Fulcrum A http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6179 F-14A+ http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=3924 SU-27 Flanker http://marcfighters.combatace.com/Aircrafts.htm The SU-27 Flanker is the only one that works/shows. I also looked here but no answer. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...;hl=multiplayer Please Help and thanks in advance! Quote

LCountach Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 Are the aircraft in question installed on all the MP machines? Well yes they will be. However currently for a testing purposes I am hosting the multiplayer session by myself. They don't even show up for me when I am alone in the multiplayer session. Quote
Fubar512 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 The only thing I can think of, is a service year/ "game" year conflict. I just tried hosting an MP setup, with 1985 as the year, and all the 3rd party AC in my install that were in service in 1985 showed up. Quote

I just tried hosting an MP setup, with 1985 as the year, and all the 3rd party AC in my install that were in service in 1985 showed up. BAM! You hit that one! In the "XXX_DATA.ini" files for the problem aircraft the "ServiceStartYear" is beyond 1985. Editing them to 1985 works but that is unrealistic! Is there any way to have WOE allow you to select a yeay beyond 1985 for multiplayer? Quote
Fubar512 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 In the main folder, open up the options.ini and set all the end years to your liking. Make sure that everyone that attempts to join your MP game has their options.ini configured like-wise. Quote
