 Okay I might not be seeing something but my SFE folder doesn"t have a "Terrains" folder in it. I am in the Users/Saves folders.

Awesome, Lothar! It works! You the man! Thank you!!

It's only recent versions that include all the documentation and use Wordpad, so that would explain why OFFbase used to work for you.

 

The location of the WordPad.exe itself moves from version to version of Windows, which is why MS set up the App Paths in the registry so developers can find this and other included utilities. Very odd it's not there. Have you run any "registry cleaner" programs? I know lots of people including OBD recommend these from time to time, but I've never seen them cause anything but trouble.

 

Just to verify: Instead of using the search box, try the Run dialog. Click the Start button, then "Run..." Then type in Wordpad and hit enter. Without the App Path set, this should fail, unlike the search box which still found it.

 

Also, does the following key exist? It's a legacy of pre-Win 95 but should also point to WordPad.exe for backwards compatibility:

 

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\WRITE.EXE\"

No, run WordPad does not start.

That entry is not in my registry.

Any safe way tp put that entry in my registry?

Win 7. Yes I did that and Wordpad starts fine. Don't know why it's not in the registry.

Yes, I was typing it by hand. My mistake, it is Windows. Under the Apps Path I don't see WORDPAD.EXE. Did this change? I had an earlier version of your program on and it worked.

Okay, I see the REBOL now. The last entry is:

C:\OBDSoftware\OFFice\temp\OFFgetreg.vbs(28, 1) WshShe11.RegRead: Invalid root in registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windoes\CurrentVersion\App Paths\WORDPAD.EXE\".

Yes, all updated. Not sure what you mean by REBOL.

Installed this version today and tried to run it. It just sits at the loading and configuring screen and never goes any further.

Just re-installed OFF and HITR and patched to latest. Starting a campaign and have tried two different starts and missions and both times in the middle of the missions, crash to desktop. I tried compatibility mode to Win XP and am running as administrator. I have moved terrain and scenery to 4. Any ideas??

what year did you select , it has to be 1986 or later

 

do you have any other 3rd party aircraft installed and do they show up

Thanks Raven. That is probably it.

Excuse my ignorance but exactly where do I put this file? I put it in my user saved games SF2E and in the aircraft file but I don't get the F16 to show anywhere. :(

Just installed the latest version exactly as prescribed. Also put the A6 pits in. I went to fly a single mission with the A6 and when I start the mission, I'm sitting on the runway but none of the keyboard keys work. Any ideas?

Nevr mind, figured it out on my own.

Sounds like a screen resolution issue, check the DPI settings on your desktop and try default. See if that works.

Forgive my ignorance, Pol, what are the DPI settings?

I have the disk with the latest version so I installed it that way. That said, problem fixed. I just have to keep clicking on the check mark to make the pilot active until I find the sweet spot that will work.Thank you uncleal and "everyone else" that helped.

I have installed OFF BHAH and patched up. Then installed HITR and patched. Configured as suggested on OFF site. When I enlist a pilot and activate it, he doesn't activate. I hit the button to make this pilot active and hit the check mark for yes. But then when I try to fly a mission or go to a campaign, the message pops up telling me I need to activate a pilot. ????

There is one called Red Storm and that is the bonus campaign. The rest are the same as stock, however highly modified. Fly them all, you will love it. The goal was to make SF2E that much fun by adding to the existing campaigns that Tk didnt have the time for.

Thanks, Dave. Incredible work by you and your group. Also your help is always appreciated. :)

Okay, I think I have it installed correct. I get the NATO +4 screen on start up. So are the campaigns the same as for SF2E or are there supposed to be something different for NATO Fighters? All I have in the campaigns is the same as SF2E.

Great! Thanks for the help! So hgbn, the way you explained it will make a separate install for NATO Fighters?

Okay, sorry, but I'm confused. I put the 4 NATO folders where the install instructions said. The first two in the main folder and the aircraft in the objects folder. Then the patch says to put it in the MODS folder which I don't have. So why would the patch go in MODS folder and the main files in the main SF folders? I'm confused!

Not sure if this has been posted before but this is a nice WW1 recreation!

Then the Expansion Pack hasn't been installed properly. I suggest you go back and review your installation steps. If you're installing the SF2 version, then make sure that you're installing the Expansion Pack to the Mods Folder, not the program's main installation folder.

I will review but I'm pretty sure I followed all steps correctly and I did install to Mods folder. Thanks for your help!

For starters, you should see a number of new aircraft in the list of aircraft available to fly in Single Missions (Create a Mission). The ReadMe has a complete list of aircraft added. Also, once you start flying a Single Mission, you should notice that the terrain looks dramatically different than the stock SF2V terrain. Plus, the clouds and weather elements will give the entire game a different look and atmosphere.

 

Eric Howes

No, the new planes or campaigns are not showing up!

Okay, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I searched everywhere I could and didn't find the answer. I installed this mod exactly as instructed. How does it work after installation and how do you know it's working? Thanks!

Are you running Trackir or FreeTrac . . . as far as CFS3 Controls are concerned, you only have POV1 . . . Normal Schitt

No, running neither.
