Thanks danzigzag for your work again !
We now have tried it and are using your mod wright now with much success.
Before, we could not use Forgotten Countries with any new diff_fm planes in UP3.
It works now with diff_fm and I tried a prebeta F8E crusader last night: quite fun to break into the Mach1 barrier.
What was much needded was USA blue, to fight pesky red Chineese of NKorean Mig-17s... :mrgreen:
Is there any chance of adding North / South Vietnam as new countries in the future ? Please do not feel pressure here, it is just a thought. 8)
( There is more and more stuff in the making about this era and place [ Vietnam map, A1, Puff C-47,OV1,OV10, rF8A/E,PA-48, SAMs, Nike et.c] ).
I add the following note here for anyone who might experience the same difficulty: a freeze-crash when hitting the arming button in QBM at install.
Some QBM versions allow country selection on first QBM screen, but some don't. After our install we had to clean up QBM memories,
to eliminate some previous invalid country selections. May be it is just something that could happen to us, due to our earlier experiments at Forg.Countries.
To do it, we go in Quicks file and eliminate .last.quick, and go to current pilot in User file and eliminate QBM.ini file. Reset button is not enough. :wink:
As indicated above by danzigzag, there are few problems with this mod and with a few aircraft types ( like MIg-17pf ) causing freeze-crash when trying to hit the
arming button in QBM, but you can circumvent the issue this way:
1- select a very common aircraft type;
2- hit ARMING button in QBM.
3- select a new country if needed.
4- select the troublesome plane.
5 - select the armement for that plane.
6- save mission; now it is safer to hit arming button with this mission in QBM...
7- use max ram.exe setting possible when flying, especially with large demanding maps, complex new planes.
