Hey Man...

I think I may have found the answer to everyones problems with the Thailand map ,
with not being able to save missions in the FMB.

I thought I would post it instead of burrowing it down in the threads about it,
there starting to get to be confuseing.

I know most long time members here know all this, that it's all in the Static.ini .....
But Where in the Static.ini ..... I know where.... for me anyways,
and for most others I think as they probable made the same mistake I made when enter info to there Static.ini

It's not the Bamboo Hut's or the Pagoda... 8)


I have 3 full IL2 games installed
C\Drive is 4.09 stock
E\Drive I run my Modded install on
D\Drive is external with a "stock out of box IL2 game for back up"

I put a minus sign in front of my Mods folder and copied a BackUp Mods folder from the fresh
Unified Installer install when I installed a week ago upon joining AAA.

With a Fresh Mods folder there is no Static.ini ,
as you don't need one untill you add Mod object's to the FMB as the in game was are hard coded into the game I guess or whatever...

New guy your thinking now.... lol

A bit about myself,I modded my game with the Nations Mod and every map , Lots of the New Slot planes ,a lot of extra Mods , Cockpit's ,F\X's ete ete
I'm a mapaholic and object glutton as I like the FMB

I added all this in one day on a Sunday,
All with no problems or asking for help.

The only questions I've asked , were in the QMB+ thread
As the QMB+ is new to me ,I had it working fine.
I just wanted more info on the 00.mis files.
As they were new to me

I have recentley made "Lybia aka Tobruk" as well as the "Philippines" ,
flyable in the QMB+

So now that I Conquered Lybia and the Philippines....
On to Thailand.... or so I thought.....

I couldn't save a mission on the Thailand map,it actually would put IL2 into "Non Responding" ,
I would then have to exit by shutting IL2 down with the Task Manager.

After reading several threads on the issue,and trying absolutely ever single fix that was mentioned.
The best I got was a small box would appear when trying to save a mission ,
that would say "mission loading" .... hours later....still no load.

I spent a couple days (all weekend) , reading and reading and reading again, all the threads that come up with the search function.Which I am quite capable of useing, as AAA has a very good working search engine or whatever it's called.

Ok, this is what I read and where I got the info from.

Cannon's Channel thread 67 pages >
viewtopic.php?t=5332&start=0

Philippines's thread 12 pages > viewtopic.php?t=8045

Updated Phillippines thread 4 pages >
viewtopic.php?t=8363

I thoroughly tried everything mentioned,and tried everything over and over, with no luck at all.



This is how I figured it out>

With the Fresh Mod folder and no Static.ini,I then took notepad and made a "Blank Static.ini"
for my STD folder as a Static.ini does not come with the Unified Installer.

With a Blank Static.ini I then, added the Thailand map >
viewtopic.php?t=8363

according to the instructions

Made a backup of that Static.ini

Then the two linked .zip files, Lal_Rone Hanger pack and Canon's Objects
one at a time.Here is where it get's to the point.

more backup Static.ini's as I added Cannons then Lal Rones onbjects

Lal_Rone Hanger pack is what causes an issue with the Thailand map!
When adding the Objects to the Static.ini "You must use the Static.ini info for both 1 and 2"
you have to,there is no other way.You cannot just add Hanger two or just Hanger 1

My Static.ini in my FreshMod Folder now has only Cannons Static info , FabianFred's Static info,
Lal_Rones info 1 and 2 , in that order as Cannons was the largest ,then Freds and then,
"Lal_Rones Hanger 1 and 2"

I have tested this thoroughly.

With only just 1 or just 2 of Lal_Rones hanger Statc info,Thailand does not load or cooperate at all.
but with the Static info for both 1 and 2 Hanger mod.Thailand saves and is a very stable map!

I new it was my install as I have two Modded Campaigns I am flying on the Thailand map and all works fine,Mission_bug and Poltvac had no trouble building and saving missions I thought to myself,
where my mistake,what did I do...lol

Now with only Cannons,Fred's and "Lal_Rones Hanger 1 AND 2 "
Thailand fires up fairly fast,as fast as the Slot anyway.Loads mission,saves missions,
it's quick and responsive saving and loading missions,placing object's ete.

The Thailand Map works perfect and is very stable to work with!

I was a little long Winded with my explanation,but that's the whole story...
and I'm sticking with it....

Thank you very much FabianFred for the Beatifull Thailand map,
I am on my way to making your map flyable in the QMBPlus 8)

I now have my fully Modded Install up and running and the Thailand Map and everything works fine,
with all my other Mods.

I guess it could be maybe somewhere else in your Static.ini , I don't now...
but it is the Static.ini

It's going to be a long post from here, lol
Edit one>(copy paste to form Baaaad Easy,now in download form from link below......) 8)


EasyRider

Link 2 > http://files.filefront.com/Easys+Thaila ... einfo.html

Edit two>
I have added more object's to my Mod folder and Static.ini and Thailand still works perfect.
I am now fully Modded with everething I had from yesterday working fine,my Static.ini has been added to but everethings runs perfect.

Thank you FabianFred , Cannon and Lal_Rone for the wonderfull Mods.
Just so everyone knows ,there is absolutely nothing wrong with anything from any of these Mods.
They just need to be installed carefully and properly.

Easy and Out Man...

All is ok....but I don' t find the thailand Map "beautiful"......is a 2D map most of the time no populated
wish is very very not cool when you are a low fighter.....

....well I still wait the burma/china Map at the level of the slot or the philippines ones where I can fly my sharky AVG P-40.... and of course without all those install problems and so on......

Maybe one day my dream come true.....

bye bye....
