Jasta 37 Campaign

[+elephant 36]

Thanks for the answer and support Winder!

 

Just a heads up for anyone that ever wants to fly with Jasta 37,

Ace skin of Kurt Grasshof is misspelled by default in OFF!

That's why it's not showing in Campaign...

To address this go to:

 

(Your sim folder) > campaigns > CampaignData > skins

 

and rename: off_Alb_DV_later_Ace_t_Jasta 37 1917_Kurt_Grasshoff.dds

 

to: off_Alb_DV_later_Ace_t_Jasta 37 1917_Kurt_Grasshof.dds

Sadly, I have confirmed what Winder has said above. Apparently, any modification to the FM causes the OFF Manager to recognize the modded aircraft as invalid. You can see this by going to OBD Software\CFSWWI Over Flanders Fields\Campaigns\CampaignData\ and clicking on the Off_text.log file. The good news is that this does not interfere with your ability to fly with the FM changes. The bad news, of course, is that the OFF Manager substitutes all ace skins with generic ones.

 

In summary, you can use the FM mod and experience all of the FM changes. However, all of the pretty ace skins (not sure about the custom ones) will not show up.

 

P.S. The damage mod does not seem to cause any problems.

Olham, I am pretty sure you have a bad installation--either of the main game, or more likely, my FM mod. Please contact me and we can try to sort this out.

Elephant, did the skin appear after your change of the name?

 

Herr Prop-Wasche, I will contact you on the weekend about JSGME.

Yes of course, that why I posted the tip.

It's a spelling mistake by default.

Nothing to do with the FM mod...

Yes I wrote the code so that is how it works - but I promise to look into some way around this for you guys...

Well, it's good to know that the cause of the problem has been found. I hope the devs can work their magic without too much trouble to make the skins work with the FM mods soon.

 

I haven't had any problems with the DM mod, so that one I'm definitely keeping activated all the time. Thanks for your hard work, HPW and of course the OFF devs!

[Herr Prop-Wasche 7]

Thanks, Winder. I appreciate it.

 

You guys are still "aces" in my book.
