Just loaded the Desert Strom Mod and....

[ktickner6767 3]

Hi guys. I'm knew here. I just downloaded and installed the Desert Storm modification for the Wings Over Europe flight sim successfully. However, I seem to be having some issues and wondered if you have any suggestions to correct the problems.

 

First when I try to start a campaign, I get a CRASH TO DESKTOP. And when I try to load a mission the aircraft I fly (F/-18 for example in a strike mission) does not have any weapons. When I went to load weapons on it there were none available. Can someone help me out here? What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Is your WOE installation patched to the OCT 08 standard? Could account for the missing weapons. Did you follow the install instructions in the included readme to the letter?

In addition to what Jeremiah said about patching, did you install all three parts?

A un-modded,(Oct 08) patched install is all you need, then, download and install 1,2,3 and read the read me file (on the first one especially)

Thanks guys for the fantastic and fast reply to my questions.

 

However,

 

1. I did a complete and fresh install of WOE.

 

2. I patched WOE to the 2008 Patch.

 

3. I deleted the default WOE Aircraft folder.

 

4. I deleted the default WOE Campaigns folder.

 

5. And I ran each installation .exe file. 1, 2 and 3 and pointed them to my new and fresh installation of WOE.

 

 

Unfortunately,

 

1. I still do not have any weapons on any aircraft but, the Weapons folder is full of weapons.

 

2. I still get a (crash to desktop) when I try to run a campaign.

 

3. And I have some weird magenta and blue clouds!

 

P.S. I am most disturbed about not having ANY weapons on ANY aircraft. I can't figure this one out.

You didn't mention patching it to the OCT 08 Standard. Just confirm for me that you did this.

 

EDIT: You edited as I was posting. Odd happenings.

He didn't say if it was the September or October Patch though.

Thanks a million guys! I had an older update I guess. This mod is FANTASTIC! I can finally fly my beloved F/A-18 Hornet over the sands of Iraq. It reminds me of Hornet 3.0 that I used to play back in the late 1990's. Wow! What a treat. Thank you!!!
