ktickner6767 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 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! Quote
Jeremiah Weed Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 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? Quote
+JSF_Aggie Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 In addition to what Jeremiah said about patching, did you install all three parts? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8156 http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8157 http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8158 Quote
Viper6 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) 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) Edited February 20, 2009 by Viper6 Quote
ktickner6767 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited February 20, 2009 by ktickner6767 Quote
Jeremiah Weed Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) 1. I did a complete and fresh install of WOE. 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. Edited February 20, 2009 by Jeremiah Weed Quote
Viggen Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 He didn't say if it was the September or October Patch though. Quote
ktickner6767 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 He didn't say if it was the September or October Patch though. I installed the patch titled: "WOE_p083006". Quote

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!!! Quote
