Has any one got more than one install of FE2 with my FE1 I had two installs one modded and one stranded dos any one know if I can do this with FE2.

Thanks ezlead worked a treat you made my day, a crate of beer will be in the post.

Thanks Heck for the reply, it do's seem to me a backward step for FE2 as it is not as modable as FE1 in as much one can not do another complete install of FE2 and have a different short cut on the desktop so unless I keep changing the options ini file. Looks like I will have to live with only one FE2 install. On second thoughts is it possible to install FE2 on another drive I do have three hard dives in my pc but then there is the my documents folder whey did they change it is this progress or change for the sake of change perhaps someone can enlighten me is it better the my documents way or the original way?

Hi Peter01 I have not tried any add-on third party campaigns only the default ones but the sim should not lock up with the default there is a problem some were, is your install ok with the default campaigns ?. I will try a add-on campaign and let you know.

Yes the same for me OlPaint01 my FE2 locks up and I have to reboot, I have the same PC spec as you but with XP SP3 home. PLEASE TK LOOK AT THIS.

Very nice.

FE2 the decals and guns not showing on the Pfalz D3 skins I copyed over from my FE1 install before I delete the plane has any one got any idea how to get them to show, I did try copying them from the main aircraft (Pfalz) folder into the individual skin folder but no luck. I have just installed the Jasta 16b skin set by Quack64 all the decals are showing but I have no guns do you think I should sack the ground crew.

Sorted now to get the guns to show. Many thanks Heck for your time.

Im a bit slow on this one Heck I have just had my second BSOD and the pc rebooted it's self, my problem is the Decals INI here is my Decals INI for the Degelow skin for the Pfalz D3 it is the one that came with the plane. Now could you highlight or change it for me so I can see what you mean, and yes I have moved the decals into the decal folder. Many thanks.

Thanks Migbuster But still no luck with the decals showing and followed the link and instructions you posted. What I do not understand is other aircraft from the same site Skunkworks work ok with no editing the Pup and the Triplane to name just two,it's no problem I can live with out the Pfalz and any others that turn up with no decals or other items missing. Thanks again for your help.

Yep I second that you are so right pcm.

Well I purchased FE2 (no food for today now) and installed ok but having problem installing Jans great terrain. Im running XP. I tried putting Jans terrain folders in the Terrains folder and then into the FE2 folder in my Documents no luck, I noticed in the FE2 Terrains folder there are no folders only two files. Peter01 in his new FE2 FMs mentioned a Mods folder do I have to make one and put it in my Documents FE2 folder,and were is the sound folder the N17 I copied over has no sound, Ho my this is not as easy as FE1 so many questions. We need a sticky on FE2 at the top of this forum Any help would be most appreciated thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks Peter your a gem, I have my FE2 running just fine and I even extracted the Flight Data cat and changed the View point for the default cockpit and padlock so my face is not pressed up to close to the guns I don't like the default settings, and the Hud settings.

Ok after one long sort I have sorted it out, one has to put named folders in the FE2 folder in My Documents. Now to try and change the hud details too smaller icons.

Peter in the download there are two sets (four)lots of GUNDATA some in the Weapons folder witch one shall I use, Thanks.

Thanks Peter

Ok im running a modded FE1 with Windows XP my question is what has FE2 to offer me over what I have now assuming I still run XP DX9. What is the difference between the two versions I understand the content is the same or is it? My FE1 is very nice and gives me a lot of pleasure with all the mods installed should I just hang onto my pension money or spent it on FE2.

Thanks guys I mite just spend my pension on FE2.

Hi Quack I have reinstall all my Terrain folder from a fresh FE 1 installed Jans terrain then went over and over your alterations for the Flanders_Bombers and still have no luck my default Flanders terrain is OK. Well thanks for your help looks like I will stick to the fighters.

Just noticed I have a problem with my Flanders terrain see below screen, Bombers are at the bottom of the screen.

No luck here Quack see picture the planes are starting in a field and running into trees, maybe it's the FE version im using I have all the patches. Thanks any way for all you do for this sim.

You cant count the Spitfire Peter only joking, thanks for all.

Thanks Peter for all you do.

Now guys im not asking for you to sort this out just has any one any idea where to have a look. From time to time my install of FE and it has so many mods added. When it gets to the end of loading a mission the game will close down with the message pop up Sorry Microsoft has to close the game, also on the odd time it will crash with the BSOD and the computer reboots on it's own with no input from me. Now this follows no set pattern it has been happening over a long time I can go for months with no problem them it seems to come all of a sudden, the one thing I did check was the sound files were all 16 bit I understand this can give problems. There is no way im going to reinstall all that I have I can not remember it any way I do have a back up of my game. I can live with it BUT would like to know what it may be so any one got any ideas and do's any one have this problem the game is up to date with all updates and adons with Jans wonderful new terrain it now whighs in at 7.46 GB.
