Hi Back with a few more questions. Is it possible to improve the river textures in Jan Tumas terrain with modded town and water tiles by Bandy? The textures in the cities doesn't look the same as in the other river tiles. My current graphical settings: I still have problems with some flickering city objects: Some houses flickers marked F in the image below but others don't flicker marked N below. It's the green centre area on the larger houses that flickers, shouldn't that part be transparent anyway? I'm using the "The terrain shaders for FE2" posted by mue here: http://combatace.com/topic/85970-shimmering-tods-and-target-objects/ Thanks for any help. Cheers vonOben

Hi jack There is only one version of JSGME and the latest version is 2.6.0.157 AFAIK, it's that version I'm using anyway. It's a Generic Mod Enabler and can be used with any game that permits modded game-files. I've used it for several years in CMBB, Blitzkrieg, EAW, OFF, IL-2 1946, RoF etc. Cheers vonOben

Hi guys I found some figures regarding aircraft production each year. It's from the book "World War I: Encyclopedia, Vol 1" by Spencer Tucker, Priscilla Mary Roberts Number of battle airplanes at armistice: And some info here: http://www.theaerodrome.com/aircraft/statistics.php Cheers vonOben

Hi ojcar A few questions regarding your campaign: When I checked the campaign files I noticed that there are more Entente air units for example in FlandersFront07_DATA.INI: There are 17 British and French units (12 fighter units and 5 two seaters units) and 8 German units ( 2 fighter units and 6 two seaters units). Is it historically accurate with such Entante air superiority on the Western front in February 1916? I haven't noticed getting any replacements, since I copy the pilot data from one saved campaign to the next I get very few pilots after doing that a few times. The estimated time to fly a mission displayed at the briefing is often totaly wrong, and the missions take much longer to fly. Is that normal in FE2? Cheers vonOben

Hi VonS I've checked the effects files but neither Stary nor Laton has any InlineExhaustEmitter.ini only InlineExhaustEffect.ini The RotaryExhaustEmitter.ini by Stary and Laton are identical, so it must be something in the other files that makes the difference. Cheers vonOben

Hi VonS Doesn't increasing those values hurt the frame rate? I've already a bit of a frame rate problem when there is a lot of flak, especially over towns with many houses. Cheers vonOben

Hi VonS Thanks for the files attached and your suggestions! When using Laton files and yours I had this strange effect around the rudder on the Fokker Eindekkers: It was not there on the Albatros D3 but it also displayed with default effects, so I assumed it had something to do with the engine type and the exhaust. When I used "FE2 Effects pack" http://combatace.com/topic/53100-fe2-effects-pack/ I didn't have this problem, so I copied these files and used them togeter with the old Laton files and yours. CleanExhaustEffect.ini DirtyExhaustEffect.ini InlineExhaustEffect.ini RotaryExhaustEmitter.ini That removed the strange effect. Cheers vonOben

Hi Some progress and a new question: 6. I've edited the Campaignscreen.ini so I can use the Guitarclassic55_Menu_Screens without CTD in Campaign mode. But the text is yellow on yellow background so it's quite hard to read the text. Does anyone know how to change the text colour in the campaign related screens? 12. I've got in contact with Steve regarding the "Map Icons for First Eagles" problem. The work fine in default campaigns, but not in "Armchair Aces Redux" campaign for unknown reason... 15: I'm using the "Realistic sky mod" by Panama Red and with the Jan Tuma winter terrain the trees far away becomes white in overcast weather. Trees nearby look ok. Any ideas why this happens? Cheers vonOben

Thanks for this Blue Max Campaign! Which mods are these and where can I download them? -- BritSquad -- British12pdr S! vonOben

Hi Anyone running FE2 on Windows 10? Any problems? Best regards vonOben

That is good to know! Thanks guys! Cheers vonOben

Thanks guys! I didn't notice that part about adding new pilots in the "TweakedFlightModels" readme file, but now I have pilots in my Eindeckers! Cheers vonOben

Hi Nick Thanks for the update! Since I'm flying a Armchair Aces Redux campaign it would be nice if all available planes in the campaign were updated, but if that's to much work it would probably be best to concentrate on the most used aircraft types. Cheers vonOben

Hi vonS Thanks for replying! 13. I've edited Default.ini file in notepad and from the game and assigned different keys to DESELECT_TARGET. But it still doesn't work. 14. There is no pilot in the Fokker E.I, is that as it should be? S! vonOben

Hi Any ideas about my remaining problems, please? And a new one... 13. I can't get "deselect target" to work, I've tried different keys but none works....

Edits to remove of the aircraft icons on the in-flight map: MISSIONCONTROL.INI [Map] FriendlyIcon= EnemyIcon= Edits to remove of the text on the in-flight map: HUDDATA.INI [MapLabels] EnableLabels=FALSE LabelFriendlyAir=FALSE LabelFriendlyGround=FALSE LabelEnemyAir=FALSE LabelEnemyGround=FALSE

Hi Nick I've edited the campaign file now, it was easy using Hexplorer much thanks to the decimal offset display! And I've also edited my pilot to show the actual number of missions flown and kills. I've edited the campaign file as you suggested. It should be interesting to see what happens. Thanks again for your help! Cheers vonOben

Hi Yes 3 years is a long time tinkering with terrains. I've done some flight sim terrain modding myself in the past, so I know what you mean, there is always something to improve. Looking forward to try your terrain upgrade! Cheers vonOben

Hi Nick I accidentally chose that terrible smiley and now when I saw it I can't edit my post any longer. So please ignore that smiley!

Whatever happened with this terrain upgrade? It looks as a very nice improvement for Jan Tuma's terrain.

Hi Regarding the in-flight map: I've earlier changed to these settings to get rid of the aircraft icons: MISSIONCONTROL.INI [Map] FriendlyIcon= EnemyIcon= In HUDDATA.INI was already MapDisplayLabels=FALSE But it was easy to figure out what to change to get rid of the annoying text. So I changed to the below settings and that worked well. [MapLabels] EnableLabels=FALSE LabelFriendlyAir=FALSE LabelFriendlyGround=FALSE LabelEnemyAir=FALSE LabelEnemyGround=FALSE Any ideas of the remaining issues? Best regards vonOben

Hi Nick That was a very clear description! I'll try that when my current campaign ends! Which hex editor would you recommend for this kind of edit? I've used AXE and XVI32 in the past. Thanks a lot for your kind help! Best regards vonOben

Hi gterl Thank you for making these nice screens and for your 'historical' planing maps! They certainly improves the look in game! I've tested "Guitarclassic55 Menu Screens with MOVIE" and it was also a nice improvement to the default screens, but the Campaign screen gave CTD. When I removed the Campaignscreen.ini no CTD, but when trying to delete an old campaign it also gave a CTD. Any ideas how to fix this? Best regards vonOben

Hi Nicholas Back with some questions! I would like to copy my pilot data (kills/missions, rank, medals etc.) and the AI pilots from a finished campaign month to the next campaign month of my Armchair Aces campaign. There are 12 pilots including myself in the finished campaign. So between which offsets should I do the copying in the *Campaign.sav file and Pilot*.plt file? *Campaign.sav copy from offset 2940 to 7732? Pilot*.plt copy from offset 6 to 684? Thanks in advance! Cheers vonOben

Hi Thanks for your help guys! I'll try MapDisplayLabels to FALSE! Here are my remaining problems: 6. I've tested Guitarclassic55_Menu_Screens_with_MOVIE.zip and it was a nice improvement to the default screens, but the Campaign screen gave CTD. When I removed the Campaignscreen.ini no CTD, but when trying to delete an old campaign it also gave a CTD. Any ideas how to fix this? 12. I can't get "Map Icons for First Eagles" to work. I followed the instructions but the icons doesn't change. I've also tried "National counters for First eagles" and since I'm using "WWI Alternative Medals Pack for FE" I also installed Nations.ini nations17.ini. With those nation ini's installed I get a CTD in Campaign when selecting the planning map. Perhaps I can't change the map icons when I have already a campaign started? Best regards vonOben
