Ace of Spades

I did install new drivers a month ago. I did uninstall and re-install with the May patch. Everything is OK. I suspected my problem at 1st was the SE5A with the Aldiss sight. I was trying to mod and get rid of it. Also when I installed the June patch, I had no issues what so ever. Until I tried to use the SE5A with the modded sight, it crashed. It worked well with any other plane, just not the SE5A. That is why I 1st thought my issue was with the avionics file that I tweaked and I that that was causing my game to crash. I read on some threads in the forum about the June patch and some issues related to it so that is when I thought my problem was other that the SE5A. May bee that plane has more demands to it or that may be where some issue related to the patch is. Anyhow thank you for sending me the file, it did lead me to the correct conclusion that my issue was something else. It is working good for now. Thank you.

Thank you Sinbad, Still no luck , this was the only tweak I tried in relation to the SE5A. I don't know what the problem is that crashes my PC. I have the June patch. Do you think my problem is similar to the one in this thread? http://combatace.com/topic/57312-help-with-june-fe2-patch/ I may just re install and use the older patch

Hello Sinbad, Thank you for the reply. The file I modded and botched up is in the Main program files of the C drive/ThirdWire/ FirstEagles 2/Objects/ObjectData002/Folder. it is a folder that has been extracted with the CAT utility. The file is a INI file named SE5A_AVIONICS. I tweaked the following to get rid of the Aldiss magnified sight per a INI tweak thread on the sight. [TVDisplayData] TVDisplayTextureSize=256 CameraViewZoomLevel=1.0 ApplyFilter=FALSE OverlayTexture=AldisSightOverlay.tga [CameraData] CameraFOV=15 CameraPosition=0.0,-0.826,0.667 CameraAngles=0.0,5.0,0.0 The highlighted CameraFOV=15 line. I don't know if this is the cause but when I try and load a SE5A to fly the game crashes. Thank you for you help

I tried to modify the avionics ini. file for the SE5 a to get rid of the magnification on the Aldiss sight. I used a value posted in a INI tweak thread. now when I load the SE5 a the game crashes. Other planes load well. I modified the file after I extracted it with the CAT utility. I left the file in the Main C drive Program Third Wire FE2 location. Should I have created a new folder in the Users name my Document file? also does any one have the original setting or value for the sight. I backed mine to to the recycle bin

OK I got it Thanks , The new sounds for the guns work. You are a patient man! Can I or do I import the menu WAV files from the main menu folder also to the sound folder if I want to change the menu music, I did this before in the older version. Also (lots of questions) what does the weopon editor and gun editor utility do. , How can I build a mission with different planes aces from various squadrons and Jastas? Thanks

I am a little confused Do I just put the sound only from the flight data folder into the new sound folder? This folder contains not only sound files but also image files too, Or the whole folder contents images etc. in the new sound folder?

I figured out the skins issue,Thanks now I am trying to sort out the sounds etc. I want to use some sounds I downloaded from this site now I have ti figure where to put them. I created a new folder named Flight data in a flight floder but no luck. Do I have to drag the unlocked filee to the new location?then add the mod?

Thanks I got it to work. I put them in the new folders. Funny thing though, I did not create them. Did the CAT program generate it or the update , oh well it works now, thanks.

I was putting them in the original folder in the original location, not a newly created folder C: / Users/ your name/ SavedGames/ Thirdwire/ FirstEagles2/. I will make a new on for that location. You did say that in your first post but I thought it was for mods other that skins, like effects etc.. Do I import all of the original or stock skins to that location after they are extracted from the CAT file or just my custom ones? Thank you

I tried to add some of my own skins and one from the downloads section. They do not show up I used the CAT utility to extract the object data files for the various aircraft. I added the texture info to the aircraft data ini file , nothing shows up. I have tried caps , no space , still no luck. Do these extracted data files have to be re installed in to the original CAt files?. I also tried a sound mod for the Vickers MG. still the default sound came out. I backed up the aboriginal and just reinstalled it.

It helps a lot, thank you. My twin boys and myself enjoyed FE 1 and we want to continue FE 2. I had some skins I personalized for the boys aircraft.. I also like the sound effects mods. Thanks. I will post again if I have more questions.

I am new to this forum. I had FE 1 played it for a year or 2. I just purchased and downloaded FE 2. I notice that many of the object files are locked. Ho can I import some of my saved skins and can I? Also on the sound mods etc., how are they installed in the folders if I can't have access to them. Please direct me to a topic on this thanks.
