well, i've had more than my fair share of issues, and most of them seem to be more unusual than the regular CTD's etc. I have backups, and backups of backups, but invariably the time comes when i have to do a reinstall.
had this just 2 days ago, reinstalled from fresh, after my game just refused to start. so, i follow the regular rinstalling of UI1.1, and invariably get stuck at the same point. i've come to dread this part of it more than any other modding. i use mouse 6dof - or, at least, want to - but EVERY time i have reinstall, the mouse 6dof doesn't work. EVERY time i install the correct files for it in the way that worked for me the previous time, and EVERY time the old way doesn't work for the new install. I still see people asking how to get it to work in that thread.
Despite all this, i don't believe it is necessary for a UI1.2......what we do need, are more concise, definitive (a la Cirx tutorials) instructions on how to install each different version properly.
In my case, i want to use the mouse 6dof. I'm very nervous of using the VersionSwitcher that comes with the UI, but i don't see any other way of trying to get the mouse 6dof to work.
so far all i get is a stuttering screen in-cockpit......this is the experience i'm met with on each new install, and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth....i follow instructions to the t, and listen to advice, and each time so far, nothing has worked. UI1.1 just doesn't want to play nice.
Maybe some clear instructions on which version batch files to use for which setup, and specifically, which NOT to use with which setup, because it seems to me that if you choose the wrong option initially, that's it, your game is buggered before you even get started...
Similar to zo, i've got a UI1.0 version that has survived from day 1 of the modding. Unbelievably, this version has accumulated mods from all corners of the globe, and works fantastically, barring for the fact that i can't update with AC installer, as it has other non-AAA planes.
This is why i keep trying to get a proper AAA mods only UI1.1 version running, and each time without fail it has just stopped working for NO APPARENT REASON.
Here i sit with the latest attempt, and am not really even wanting to post AGAIN with the same plea for help on how to get my mouse 6dof working.....AGAIN.... :roll:
Troubles and hassles aside, i'd rather be dealing with these kind of problems than to be where we were before the mods became a reality, twiddling our collective thumbs over at another site, hoping that Oleg might release a new patch with at least one new map and maybe even a new AI-only plane by christmas...
I'm committed to this site and all the goodness that happens here, so even though i'm having all these hassles, i can't think of any place i'd rather be... 8)
