Great Campaign!!! I've been away from Flying much in IL2. This campaign is very immersive! It brings teh fun back into it. Thanks. Radio chatter is superb! Map is a whole new world, literally. (Does Oleg or anyone ever thank the people who've given new life to IL2?)

Could somebody telll me how to install the early Spitfire MKIX please, I tried with placing it in the mods folder but I don't see the plane showing up in the game.

I have it working fine in my MODS folder.
I wonder if you re-installed the latest aircraft installer and/or mod activator and ensured it was pointing to the sound mod you have.

Alternately, you might also try and place the contents of the 3do folder located in the Spitfire9_ early folder directly into files/3do folder and remove the Spitfire9_folder from the MODS folder.

Just a thought.

Good luck.

Hi stargazer, I hope you had a good Christmas.
Did you get my E-mail? as I've recently had problems with it so I'm not sure you received it.

Hi 95aqua-ta,
Sorry to hear that.

No, I didn't receive your email - would you resend pls?

Thx,

[95aqua-ta]

Oh darn it!
I'll send you another E-mail using your profile link.

[95aqua-ta]

I've just re-sent it.

Thanks for the file Stargazer but alas I still end up back at one mission completed.

That's a bummer.

I don't know what else to advise.

One thing did come to mind when you said you were unable to edit the .ini file and that is that you may have a system problem somewhere that might be compounding the problem of not being able to write the completed mission to file. Just a guess.

just to recap:

Everything else works fine for you as I understand it. For example, you can open up a different map in the mission builder, make a mission and save it?

The appropriate mod activator installed.
The appropriate aircraft installer installed.
The FW-190_A-3 installed.
The Spitfire9_early installed.
The Tigermoth installed.

Hope you get it to work but there is one solution on the horizon and that is that the new CAN_Channel map is about to arrive shortly.

cheers

Hi Stargazer, I have created a single mission using ther Italy map and it saves okay, and I have the latest mod activator/ac installer.
I hope then that the new Canon map will solve my problem.
BTW my single mission was based on the book Mustang ace by Robert Goebels ( great book ) and is just a simple escort of B24's to the Polesti oil fields. It was just a play about with the FMB, but I may tweak it and perhaps see what you think. If it's any good I may do a series of them, although to be honest it is pretty much all escort duties...

Escort missions can be fun providing there are frequent intercepts to and from the target area. High altitude provides another set of dynamics to contend with regarding how to manage the flight characteristics of your bird. Doesn't take long to stall out and the battle usually descends quickly - makes for a challenging time to climb back up onto station with the bombers.

Looking forward to seeing what you've made.

cheers,

ps. Do you use a files.txt file in your main Forgotten Battles folder?

[95aqua-ta]

I don't use the files.txt file, I think the 'Mods' folder makes it obsolete?

Just checking

It depends on which mod activator was used with which sound files as I understand it.

Since switched to the AAA installer and Sounds 0.93 and now to SFX 0.8 with its aircraft installer, I also do not use the files.txt file.

It certainly is more standardized but requires care on which sounds are selected in the activator menu.

Cheers
