Silberpfeil

Thank you - really appreciate this and am looking forward to Red Squadron's next two lost mission sets! I'm finally getting caught up on installing all these XvT/BOP downloads with their improvements. From one of your previous posts, did I also understand that you had some advanced mission sets for the X-Wing Alliance story?

For the Sopwith Triplane, FE2 will only allow 1 or 2 aircraft in Single Mission, and when I select 2 the Loading freezes at 70%. With 1 selected, the mission loads and runs as normal. I cannot add any aircraft on the Roster screen, and if 2 is the game’s selection for the Single Mission and I delete it, I cannot add it back. DATA.INI service dates and roles seem to be OK and I’ve set all the availabilities to “Common”. As info, I’ve got somewhere around 70 aircraft spread over multiple installs segregated by WW1 theatre with a variety of graphics upgrades and do not seem to have any difficulty with loading upwards of 12 or more aircraft (even multiple types selected on the Loadout screen) on a mission. FE2 initially selects anywhere from 1 to 8 aircraft for Single Mission, and I can add or delete in the Roster screen as normal. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks, Heck, that is helpful! While I'm sure some of the FE2 symptoms I experienced were the results of accidental and self-inflicted coding wounds, the way the program reacted was a little surprising. OTH, maybe I'm chasing down a path someone else has already been down and found to be a dead end. Not the first time that's happened, unfortunately!

UPDATED: This has been resolved. When I migrated the Sopwith Triplane folder into a newer install from a previous one, an older name in the Nations17.ini file apparently caused a conflict that resulted in the described condition (not sure why FE2 would only limit Single Mission aircraft to one and then let everything else proceed normally – anyone have an idea on this?). Circling back and recognizing which NationsXX.ini variant was controlling the “country” names in each install was the first step, and then further checking and correcting the various .ini and Texture sub-files for each aircraft finally straightened everything out. A time-consuming job but everything seems to run OK for the present!

Thank you, Stephen1918, for bringing the wide variety of aircraft and effects to FE2 that you do...I can't wait to see what 2016 brings!

Very impressive package, Capitaine Vengeur! Can't wait to win my first Serbian Royal Order of the Star of Karadjordje!

Sample pix look great, Stephen1918 - looking forward to the release!

Video is nicely done! Mid-seventies earlier this afternoon on the Virginia Peninsula!

Will these work with FE2?

Roger. CH Products have always done well by me.

Worked good, Geezer, thanks! Hi-res airfields were no problem except now I seem to have a little more "shimmering" in the buildings. Any way to cut this back?

Another good one, Stephen1918 - looking forward to the release!

You're releasing these faster than I can play 'em - thank you!

Thank you, Stephen1918, for another nice addition to the canvas hangar!

Another impressive model - thank you, Stephen1918!

Roger that - R.I.P.

What a great video - one of the neatest things I've seen on CA!

Thank you for your continued support, Stephen1918!

Will something like this also work for FE2 terrains?

This one was only a drawing in my book - what a great add, Stephen1918 - thank you!

Bubu's post reminded me of an "Effects" thread a couple years back (see http://combatace.com/topic/78059-artillery-effect-in-no-mans-land-for-effects-guys/)which discussed a no-man's-land featuring (1) random artillery explosions, (2) machine gun tracer fire, and (3) smoke/haze/mustard gas clouds - all of which would be visible from above. I'd like a simple primer on how to customize FE2 pilots.

What a neat photo, Geezer - wait a minute, I think the guy just behind and to the left of the hound is my great-grandfather!

Nice one, Stephen1918 - thanks for your continuing and quality support!

Thank you, Stephen1918, you've taken an historic model and made it exceptional!
