Right, i have just about hit my whits end on this now, i have done a complete reinstall of the shippack2 and still it does not work. jus so you know, i have been installing mods since this site opened and done most of them manually, editing ini's etc all the way.
the strange thing is, i can use all the ships as moving ships but at least half of them do not show up on the map as static ships. the static ships appear in the objects viewer but not on the map as an object.
example,
the graf carrier is usable as a moving ship, i go to static ship pack 2 and i see in in the viewer but it will not place on the map. :-?
i have tried different maps and such but to no avail. i really do not know what the hell is going on as i had it all working before my windows reinstall, which proves i know how to install this thing.
damm i am frustrated now, feel like throwing the pc out the window, and i live in the second floor lol.
There is an error in the readme file
This is what is provided:
5. If you are already using some of the files from STD folder than you need to add ShipPack entries to these files. To do so go to AddToIni folder where you will find following files.
-Ships.ini.txt -- copy content to the end of Il2/Mods/STD/com/Ships.ini
-Technics.ini.txt -- copy content to the end of Il2/Mods/STD/com/Technics.ini
-Chief.ini.txt -- copy content to the end of Il2/Mods/STD/com/Chief.ini
-Stationary.ini.txt -- copy content to the end of Il2/Mods/STD/com/Stationary
-Technics.properties.txt -- copy content to the end of Il2/Mods/STD/i18n/Technics.properties
It should read as follows:

The technics_ru.properties file defines the text which appears in the drop down menus in FMB
The Add to ini folder should also refer to technics_ru.properties no technics.properties
yeah, i got that. but the ships do show in the fmb in the right place, i know they are there because i can use them in moving mode, but when i go to place it in static, it wont show on the map.
i have checked and double checked the ini files and the ru properties files and all seem to be correct.
i am going out to the garden so i can be :hanged:
EDIT
hmm i have just noticed that i am missing "ships" and armour" from the objects box......................................
I've just checked to make sure my stationary Graf Z is there, and it is.
Any possibility you have a duplicate stationary.ini file?
I think I remember there being a clash with the static mod aircraft pack.
Possibly a problem with static aircraft mod.
This will affect the stationary.ini file because this is where the static aircraft references are.
stationary.ini also has armour, artillery, ships and vehicles in it.
Search for stationary.ini to see if there are multiple files.
If only one file then all your armour, artillery, ships, static aircraft and vehicles should be listed in it.
solved the issue, with a full il2 reinstall lol, all ships working and everything else ok.
dont know exactly what the issues was but i had loads of objects missing that where all in the ini files.
I have read almost everything - can't find the fix for this:
I see the Ship pack and Stationary Ship Pack in FMB and can place ships on map. Problem is when I start game I don't see them - any of them. Old or new ships - help please!
OMFG! I am a dumb ass!!! I have been flying this game since Nov 2001 (yes Day 1) and I just figured out there are no ship icons in the pilot's map :oops:
Well in my defense I mostly fly online wars so icons are turned off anyway. 8)
On the verge of giving up with this completely.
No matter what I can't get it working. I have a Static_AC folder but it doesn't contain any .ini files, and when I disable it I get a 70% CTD. Oddly enough I got this working on a previous pre-UI install.
I have a suggestion. Why doesn't someone who installed the ship pack successfully over a clean UI install upload the properly edited .ini files to here? That way nobody has to mess with editing them.
Its a while since I installed this so I don't remember all the details but here are a few comments.
In the original instructions you were told to add text to technics.properties. That was wrong. The text adds had to be done to technics_ru.properties.
Problems with the Static_AC mod were due to duplicate files being created. Do a search for each of the ini and properties files to ensure there is only one copy in the game. I have all of mine grouped in root/MODS/STD. There may be copies in root/files. If you have duplicates then you need to merge the files to create a single file which contains all of the entries, but no duplicates.

I know this is old news but this Mod has always defeated me7 I would like to get this working..I understand the need to eliminate ships pack1 thats easy & I know the change the technics_ru title...but here's what's got me flumixed: adding the new lines to static folder...I'm bothered because I may have added them in a previous install try & if so they are still there.What heppens if I put these new lines in again? Will I screw up my STD ( yes I'll save it) folder no end? Is 60-70%CTD the probable result?
I've never quite got what happens in any of the STD folders if you add lines of text that are already there , but perhaps out of order,or just hidden in the lines & lines of text.Do I get myselfinto real trouble when a addition of a new objects text repeats itself? This applies to objects ships, armor, & personel...but I've only really run into trouble with Ships2.I'd like to solve this so that I can fully fly some of the new missions & campaigns withthese new ships in them.
can anyone answer this burning question & walk me through the complete install of this mod?
Many thanks!
It took me a long time to get it working as well.
Main problem I had was duplicate copies of the ini files in different parts of my installation.
Text changes required are to:
Chief.ini ---- Main Index listing
Ships.ini ---- Details of Big Ships
Stationary.ini --- Static Ships
Technics.ini ---- Details of Small Ships --- Similar function to Ships.ini but simpler layout for single mesh hulls.
Technics_ru.properties --- this was the one which was wrongly named in the original notes. The entries define what appears in the menus in FMB
Do a search for each of these in your game folder to check for duplicates.
Text to be added is in the Add to Ini folder
If you have duplicated lines of text I think it would probably cause a crash, but I've not tested it.
