Guys, i've searched for an answer on the forums but the search facility won't allow 3 letter terms - so I can't search for 'ctd' and '60%'... Anyways. XP SP3 Macbook Pro 2.66 4gb, Nvidia 9600m GT. Totally clean formatted disk. Load up WOE 080306 from dvd - fine. Patch to Oct2008b - ctd at 60% on all plane loading screens. No debug info, no direct x message. All was fine under Windows 7, but I have to use XP as Lotus Domino won't run on Vista - d'oh! Any ideas fellas? Actually - it just got to 80% before cr*pping out...

Guys Reformatted, loaded Windows 7 RC, installed WoE to c:\Thirdwire\, reloaded WoE - works fine Patch up to October2008b - ctd at 80% - no error report or message Tried running as administrator and UAC set to 1

MigBuster - no, no mods. I just downloaded the March 2009 DX9 but no joy. Strange, cause WoV works perfectly with the new patch, but I really want to fly the ODS! Guess Domino'll have to go... Priorities, after all.

w00t! Fabulous! I always was a prop-head! Just can't get into IL2FB though. This is real fun!

zmatt - edit your data.ini (e.g. Midway_Data.ini) in your Terrain (e.g. Terrain\Midway) folder. Change these lines: [NormalTextureMaterial] UseEffectShader=FALSE <------------------ change from TRUE to FALSE EffectShaderName=TerrainEffect.fx DepthBufferCheck=TRUE [WaterTextureMaterial] UseEffectShader=FALSE <------------------ change from TRUE to FALSE EffectShaderName=WaterEffect.fx DepthBufferCheck=TRUE

Hey guys, just returned after a spell playing with my new toy - B-Bender Fender Baja Telecaster! Anyways... I am running SFP1 patched to 8.30.6.9 under Windows 7 b7077 on a Macbook Pro. The sim runs fine. I used to have performance probs running Baltika's BoB mod on my old Acer but the MBP runs it fine. I have downloaded all the required files, weapons pack, recompiled the gundata and weapondata inis. 1. When starting from the carrier in single missions, the flights start from about 500 yards to port of the carrier. 2. In campaign mode, some of the AI take off 'through' my plane, and the carrier and support ships are invisible. 3. After exiting from any flight using the 'esc' key, the sim crashes straight to the desktop. Any ideas?

I have edited and recompiled the weapondata.ini but the Rufe has no floats.

Hi Baltika - the problem is with all carrier-based squadrons - US or Japan. I have the CV-5 folder and I am running the program as administrator in XP SP2 compatibility mode. I have checked the permissions of the CV-5. The mission opens with me sitting in my cockpit but a second (and third) plane slowly moves 'through' my own. The F6 view is disabled. F2 and F3 work but F10 gives me an aerial view of my plane and one other - which runs into and merges with my own at a 45 degree angle... If I engage the autopilot my plane takes off - but the F10 view remains with the 'other' plane! Would I be better off restarting with a WoV install rather than SFP1?

Thanks Kevin, I appreciate the advice

Beautiful bird...

In BoB I usually start out as Pilot Officer and quite quickly transfer to Ensign in my inflatable dingy...

Thanks Baltika!

Baltika I flew the first mission for the Stuka this morning. However the target ships were all sailing in London..! Is there an INI setting I can twiddle with to fix this? Keith

WOO HOO! I'm there!

2 thumbs up for Baltika and Scrapper - I don't have any time for BoB2WoV any more..!

I'm a bit AS so I start at the beginning of each campaign and work my way through each squadron for each side until it's completed! Getting bored with the Hurri in BoB but I can't make myself break out of the Campaign to get into the Spit until it's finished... I do run more than one campaign concurrently though, so I'm over the Channel in BoB, over France in Fallen Angels, over the Pacific in Solomons, over Korea in Korea Air War and waiting patiently to get over Kuwait/Iraq in Desert Storm!

You guys are stars! I really appreciate all your hard work!

Which a/c?

Hubba hubba

Really looking forward to Desert Storm.!

A very warm welcome to you Allan! I am a confirmed prop head and I have multiple WW2 installs of SFG, as well as WoE and WoV for my jet thrills! I also fly FSX and BoB2WoV. I have kicked CFS2, CFS3 and IL-2 1946 into touch though. Regards Keith

Guys There seems to be a bug in the COCKPIT.INI file for this plane - the pit is way too far back... Is there a tutorial for this file?

Capun, I have applied your fix to my WW2 Solomons install and now I get Carriers in my missions... WOO HOO! Can't thank you enough. I'm learning more and more every day from these tips, but it's a shame there is not a Modding and Tweaking guide covering ALL the .INI's though.

Perfect! Many Thanks!
