AAA Veterans HELP!

After installing UI 1.1 on a fresh 1946 install I had a look through all the new aircraft available in the QMB, I noticed the Avenger Mk III was no longer there. After checking the folders and files I've found I have the Avenger Mk III but I can not fly it.

Can someone help me with this? I have tried installing the UI 1.1 again on another fresh 1946 install, same result. I even tried another mod pack (I was getting miffed by now) and guess what? Still no Avenger. :?

Any bright ideas out there?

I'm quite sure that the Avenger MkIII is not a flyable plane and never was.

However, you can fly a TBM1-Avenger, 1942. But you will have to scroll down to the 'T's' to find it in your list of available aircraft.

Check your air.ini and see if you have listed

"AvengerMkIII air.TBM3AVENGER3 1 NOINFO gb01 DESERT"

and in the plane_ru file text should read:

"AvengerMkIII Avenger MK.III, 1944"

and in weapons_ru:

in alphabetical order. If not, cut and past the above text lines (minus the quotes) in their respective files.

:wink:

Even if all of the above info is in the respective files, I am still quite certain that you cannot FLY the Avenger MkIII as a pilot yourself. It is an AI plane only.

@ agracier

So, are you not able to fly the Avenger Mk3? I was sure I've flown it before :?
Thanks for the pic, glad to see I had not messed up installing something.

@ viking

Yep all present and correct. The aircraft is selectable as an AI controllable craft in the QMB, but I cannot select to fly it myself. Can you select the Avenger Mk3?

[agracier]

Note that there are also 2 other planes, that are in effect Avengers. The listing doesn't start with an 'A' though. You have to look under the 'T' in the aircraft object list.

They probably are however the same aircraft as the Avenger MkIII for all intents and purposes. And these 2 are flyable. You can pilot them to your heart's content.

It's a bit confusing and I know not why this is so. I'm betting it has something to do with the company that once upon a time during WWII, constructed the Avenger objecting to the use of 'their' aircraft in a game.

Just checked in game - and indeed, I can not. --viking

@ viking and agracier

Thanks for checking guys, glad I hadn't messed something up in my install, now do you know how one defrags a brain? I got a faulty bit of information in there .

@ Howlin. I was hoping one of the Mods or modders would be able to answer this for definite.

Perhaps for future development, One day?

[sacro]

anyway the simulation of the flight in the series of the agenger this bad one, is to correct this

[sacro]

excuse it is Avenger :oops:

[redpinto]

I just installed the mod a few two weeks ago. Flying the TBF and the B5N, they have this massive torque rolling the plane over. Is this a normal characteristic of the planes? No matter if in a dive or power climb or cruising ... it both planes want to roll over. Is there something I missed?

[Classic EAF19]

Old topic I know but it is still possible to select the Avenger III as a flyable aircraft, heres how;

I have recently installed the catapault mod and after playing around in the FMB I quickly created a takeoff mission to test. First I setup a Corsair to try with napalm on board naturally I ticked the box that stated 'player' and proceeded to fly the mission. After a few takeoffs I went back into the FMB to choose a different aircraft. Next one I wanted to try was the Avenger III and as it was near the top of the list I knew just where to find it, changed the aircraft and hit the fly button, mission loading stopped at 30% with an error message "one or more selected aircraft does not have a cockpit" or something similiar to that. Not a big issue at all really but something to note perhaps for future patches to UI1.1
