Re: Moggy's Log April 2024

When you're satisfied with the new models send them over to me and I'll add them to the new Aircraft_Inventory I'm working on. Right now the massive update includes about 125 new planes plus all sorts of fixes and upgrade to the existing ones. :mrgreen:

Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue

Tried out this new set, no CTD's yet but: 1 - No music nor engine sounds. Gun sounds, landing gear sounds and explosions are there. 2 - Cockpits are much closer than built causing many gauges to be below sight level. 3 - Some screens are the wrong size. 4 - On the F4F the selections on the hangar sc...

Re: Campaign problems

The 1st campaign in SPAW mimics the BOB campaign in EAW, with more variety for the defenders so the player doesn't experience an endless run of fighter intercepts. The SPAW Late 1941 or Early 1942 planesets would be your best bet for historically accurate aircraft but any planeset labeled 1941 (Not ...

Re: Campaign problems

Do we, by the way, have a more recent planeset for the default careers? Not to my knowledge. All the planesets I've produced are in tight chronological order, from 1938 through 1953. This means that the planes in any particular set are "chronologically grouped" much closer together than t...

Re: Campaign problems

If you look at the list of planes in the vast majority of my planesets you'll notice I stuck to the aircraft types from the original EAW slots. That is, pure fighters in fighter slots, attack planes in multi-use slots and level bombers in level bomber slots. Some of the early war plansets were diffi...

Re: Campaign problems

It came to me last night that we might be two problems intertwined. 1 - Screwy execs 2 - Problems with the PSM program. Some of these problems we're seeing may be due to files not swapping correctly. For instance, the music from SPAW does not unload when another theater is selected when using the 1....

Re: Campaign problems

With that exec l get no planes on the selection screen. If I switch to the Oct24thOldMap exec I do get the planes.

Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue

Try these: 1.6 Sept23rd Old Map.exe. SPAW Final Cut theater SPAW 1942 Early plane set 1 - In career mode squadron descriptions are from EAW, not SPAW. 2 - Aircraft choices are wrong, only allowing P-400 and P-41. 3 - Medal awarded on first mission. 4 - 2nd mission CTD. 5 - Music does not return to d...

Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue

Ray, do you still have a 150 setup? This uses UAW150V4 Set up as follows: Exe: UAW150OldMap(26Sep2016) Theatre: 00-Default ETO Theatre Planeset: 10-ETO Planeset 5 I don't have 26Sep2016 exec in 1.5 so I ran Oct24th instead. Theater and plane set are the same as yours. 1st mission - OK and no medal....

Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue

1.2 has worked fine so far for me. I just find the 1.2 cockpits painful now. I'm not sure I know what you mean. Far as I recall (and that's got lot's of room for correction) these wasn't much work done on cockpits back then. About the only serious upgrade to cockpits came with the 1.6 line where ga...

Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue

I think we should coordinate our selections, run the same campaigns with the same plane sets, same execs, same individual aircraft and see if the results match. However, as noted in my last post, this goes beyond campaign issues. There are multiple problems spanning all facets of play. Misaligned te...

Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue

Well, I did a bit of poking around and I can confirm the OP is correct. The campaigns seem to be stuffed, right across the board. Not only that but a lot of things aren't working properly. I tried April26th old map, April26th new map and Sept23rd old map RADAR, with ETO2015, Ray'sETO Target Set, SPA...

Re: Battle of Britain campaign issue

Of course, once we separated the planes from the scenarios, a player could run the BOB planeset included with 1.6 in literally any scenario they chose.
