Thank you! (And thanks to TK for making this game so easy to customize). Now I can find grount targets without having to pause the game and hunt for them.

Hi,

Does anyone know which file controls the color of the little red bax that highlights your current target? I have a red/green color issue and it makes it very difficult to see sometimes against the green terrain so I'd like to change the color to something like yellow.

Nice plane but where does one find the weapons for it? The loadout says it uses "L-20_150L", "PU55MM" and "L-20_Gunpod". I can't find these anywhere.

A known issue, when using 06 and earlier weapon in an 08 and later game.

 

the fix is here:

OK, I did those steps. For step 3 "Apply weapons pack" I put the WEAPONS folder under the OBJECTS folder. I'm still not getting anything showing up for weapons except for the SBD (Dive Bomber). It has no weapons on its hardpoints ingame but the stores available show MK81-MK84 bombs and they can be loaded on it. Other weapons, including the ones its supposed to have don't show up.

BTW: WoI is NOT the choice for WW2 era installs. It's lacking the needed terrain cats (desert, germanyCE and sometimes vietnamSEA) for the WW2 terrains. I should know, I rebuilt all of them....

I bought WoE when it came out but go frustrated with it (didn't really have the time to learn it back then). I figured WOI would be the best mnodding platform since it was more recent.

I have WOI with the latest patch. I downloaded teh WW2 weapon pack and installed it and two planes A6M and F4F-4. Both planes' guns work and they fly but no bombs, drop tanks, or other weapons are available to be loaded on them. The WW2 weapons pack has everything in a WEAPONS folder. I tried putting it under my OBJECTS folder and then I tried putting all the files IN my OBJECTS folder. Neither worked. The Weapondata.ini and .dat files contain the correct weapons that are in the planes' loadout files but they just don't appear in the game. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Also, is it true that the weapondata.ini and gundata.ini do nothing if you edit them and that only the .dat files are read in game so you have to use the editor utilities to edit them?

I have WOI with latest patch. I would like to install these WW2 planes. I downloaded the file but I notice that the weapons used are not in my gundata.ini (obvoiusly, since they are from WW2). So, my question: Is there a weapons pack I can download that will let me play these planes and also is compatable with WOI so I can continue to fly the regular planes? Basicially I would like a weapon pack that includes everything. Does it exist?

Hi. I just got WOI (with latest patch installed) and I wanted to know which weapon pack I should download to have the most inclusive list of weapons. There seem to eb a lot, including some with a warning that it won't work with certain games so it is a little confusing. Any opinions of which is best?

Did you install the game to your c:/program files/ in vista...?

Check my advice before step 5....

I installed to D:\games\WoE. I have the latest graphics drivers because I heard the ones that ship with the 8800 GT are terrible for Vista. I'm pretty sure I have the latest DirectX drivers but I will go and update tonight jsut to be sure. I'll try the other things on the last as well.

One thing, when I ededited the terrain file, there were 5 places that had DepthBufferCheck=TRUE. I changed all of them just to be safe. After setting them to false the plane was semi-transparent. I could see trees and other ground terrain through it when I was using an external view. That's not what I'm going to be left with if I ever get this working is it? I mean it's better than nothing but it sure lowers the realism factor.

Oh My God! It's the patch. I tried changing the things in the file but it didn't work. So, I did a clean install and checked and everything worked fine. Next I applied the patch (WOE_p083006.exe). Tried again and it crashes to desktop. It's the official patch and it crashes my game.

So, is the game playable without the patch?

Eagle89, the above procedure fixed your game? It didn't work for me. Just to make sure, the file to be modified is GERMANYCE_DATA.INI, right? It's the only terrain file I have.

Have you changed the data on your terraine,these game CTD on vista unless you do,change data as follows. These changes have to be done on all terraine you want to use

Thanks. I will try that when I get home tonight. It is strange that it would play the mission fine and only CTD when exiting.

According to my key mapping (default) the escape key should end the mission. Instead it closes the program adn sends me back to my desktop. Has anyone encountered this behavior? This didn't happen on my old computer when I first bought WoE a couple of years ago. My new computer has Windows Vista and two 8800 GT graphics cards. I installed a bunch of mods but nothing that should affect the game like this. Any ideas?
