sixstrings Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Don't know if this best place for this plea for help but the WWI section seems to be pretty dead. Been trying to download the FS-WWI plane pac full version with the direct link that the FS-WWI home site provides - (DBmod site for downloading). All i get are broken/incomplete downloads. Tried a lot of times and used different mirrors(logged on to site) to no avail. Could somebody point me in the right direction to a better site/torrent . Will gladly pay for shipping and handling for a DVD if someone can. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks Quote
33LIMA Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Try the links for FS:WW1 here, the D/Ls for its components seem to be working: http://www.fsww1.com/ I just checked and the 'Install Option 2' links for standalone FS:WW1 and ther planepack - the option which doesn't need FS:SDOE, possibly the one you'rer after - seems to be working fine including the one to MoDB (whch site I have found to be a bit tricky to find the right item, without a direct link). Edit - the Mod DB download link worked most times for me, others not, strange. I found clicling on the d'l link top left of the advert window, without waiting for the ad to play, worked. Good hunting! Quote
sixstrings Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks for the advice Lima . I still can't get it to complete a full download. The last few seconds remaining it kicks me off and won't let me retry to finish. My patience has run out for now . Quote
sixstrings Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 Thanks Bro, will do tomorrow. Those screen shots were amazing for a free combat flight simulator!!! Temporarily using my laptop as my old computer is finally DOA. That's what makes FS-WWI so attractive is it doesn't take a high end comp to play. Currently have 3 CFS3 installs , heavily modded, and Il-2 '46 fully patched on my laptop and they play well with mid settings. Adding a WWI sim would be sweet while i save enough to build my own gaming pc. Quote
jeanba Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I had a lot of fun with FS:WWI. That's where I started to love the Caudron G4 Quote
33LIMA Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Glad you got sorted! You can also get another free low-systems-requirement WW1 sim, Red Baron 3d, here: http://www.virtualaces.net/redbaron/redbaron.html ...well, actually what you get is Red Baron 2 plus the official patches to upgrade it to RB3D. You'd also want the Western Front Patch (WFP2, the latest version I think is available here: http://www.redbaron3d.net/- one of these unofficial user-made patches ('UOPs') is essential to get an improvment on the crude stock graphics, and WFP2 includes the terrain from the Promised Land payware addon. WFP is a 'time-based' patch which needs a utility like Campaign Manager to change the era, a bit like the one used for the CFS3 ETO mod. IIRC CM didn't work in vista and I had to track down an alternative - or maybe I just needed to install that vbrun300.dll that's on Al's Red Baron site. A Glide wrapper like nGlide or Glidos is also needed to get the best graphics. Still not as good looking at FS:WW1 but with Screamin' Demons' lack of a proper campaign system and that being Red Baron's strong point, it's worth all the rigmarole. Quote
sixstrings Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks for the info,Bro. Think i have RB3D somewhere around here. Really been enjoying FS-WWI. This will definitely get me by till i build my new rig and beyond . Runs great on my laptop, smoooooth . Quote
