Gr.Viper Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 AI pilots can only stare in anger as their planes dive into the ground. Dead engine goes silent now too. Quote
+peter01 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Getting better and better. The Aldis is nicer than before, and the spins are an improvement. TK is putting some time into this version. Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Peter were there any "setbacks" as far as FMs go?What I mean is were there any changes made that make your job more difficult or render your finished work obsolete? Quote
+sinbad Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) I'm having trouble extracting the FE2 file sets. SFP1E does not operate. The original archives are coded for Crypto Shell Extensior.. I've DL the CatPack utility but no joy. Please advise. Edited March 27, 2010 by sinbad Quote
OlPaint01 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Hello All I just completed downloading and installing the March 2010 FE2 Patch from ThirdWire website. Now all the 'Canned' Campaigns lock up the game the moment I click on the Accept Button no matter which side I chose or which Squadron I try to fly. I must recover by using Task Manager. Wha' Happened? The Canned Campaigns were working fine before the patch. I am runnig FE2 in Windows XP Pro with 2GB of RAM. OlPaint Edited March 27, 2010 by OlPaint01 Quote
+peter01 Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) I'm having trouble extracting the FE2 file sets. SFP1E does not operate. The original archives are coded for Crypto Shell Extensior.. I've DL the CatPack utility but no joy. Please advise. It works differently to the FE1 one. Create a desktop shortcut for "CatPack", open folder with .cat file, and drag (select with mouse-hold right button down then drag)the .cat file onto the "Catpack" icon, then select "open with". If it states something like cannot create index file and aborts, delete any index files in the .cat file directory, and do again. Alternatively, maybe you have an older OS?

The only setback to me in terms of FMs is that the ones I did were not designed for FE2 whiteknight. They work fine, not obsolete at all, seem good, but IF I designed them for FE2 they would be better . Already starting to improve them, which is the second point - it's easier doing FMs for FE2. But TK made some minor changes to the AI in the FE2 patch - doesn't make anything obsolete, in fact it is an improvement, so good. Unfortunately, my AI are very finely tuned and about as capable as you want them I think, yet the change makes 'em tougher! Minor issue really, but it just reconfirms that every time TK puts out a patch or expansion pack, it usually necessitates some FM rework. Even minor rework when there are 100 planes or so is not a trivial task . Edited March 28, 2010 by peter01 Quote
+sinbad Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Hi Peter01- Got it now. I once was lost but now I see. I was doing everything right EXCEPT hitting return key in the DOS Command screen. As in so many things, now it is obvious, but only because you walked me through my previous confusion. Thanks again. sinbad Quote
