I received messages from people asking for updates, so I've put together this package.

Version 0.6
===========
- Second public beta.
- Airfields almost complete. Layouts finalised, markers and signals squares added where appropriate.
- Approximately 95% of landscape texturing complete.
- Temporary map_F.tga file updated. Anything less than 'perfect' graphics mode might notice anomalies.
- Road and rail network extended and 50/60% complete.
- Limited scenic work.
- Rough ground errors at some airfields.
- Not completely compatible with DCG.

To Do
====
- Lots and lots of object placement.
- Formalise default or new towns/villages.

Hmm. Downloading it right now...

[_-JARMOPOWER-_]

Oh its 4.09 so i dont download it... :roll:
Can i play online 4.08 servers with 4.09?

[Poltava]

Jamrmopower. if you have the AAA Mod then you have 4.09, as an option, when starting up!

[Guest]

Installed ok, but can't save missions in FMB...
i have 409, and LAL's hangar 2 mod installed...
I've just done a fresh install with the UI mod, with the hangar mod installed,
what else might I be missing..??? :?:

[_-JARMOPOWER-_]

I dont have unified installer what gives you a version changing BAT-file..

[RealDarko]

I'm downloading right now, about saving issues, is a problem we have with new mpas sometimes. Remember my Pacific Extended islands? No one can save until I erased all Rone hangars mods used there. Then no more problems

[caldrail]

I haven't had any save issues with the map at any stage. Usually I find this problem when the 'all.ini' entry is in the wrong place. Other than that, I don't really know why it isn't working for you.

[agracier]

I'm having a problem with loading the map. Won't load at all.

I've installed all other maps so far and they've all worked. I have the hangar mods installed as well and they give no problems.

But so far no loading for this new map. I'll fiddle around a bit, but haven't really found anything yet. Any suggestions are more than welcome since this is a map with landscape types I've really been looking forward to.

[caldrail]

Ok, lets run through a checklist of what might be wrong.

I can't see any missing files, but in the load.ini (found in /MODS/MAPMODS/map/CAL_Zimbotho) I haven't included any editor map 03 entry. You'll see two entries in the MAP2D section. That works for me. However, if you like, try making a third map (you need to open cald_ed_map02.tga in a graphics editor and scale it in half. Save the new one as cald_ed_map03.tga and add an entry in load.ini to see if that works for you. If it does, I'll issue a patch/update the download accordingly.

[agracier]

Thanks for suggesting the above, but it didn't really help.

I keep getting the following message :

Section [MAP2D] not found in 'maps/Cal-Zimbotho/load.in

I get that message both with and without the changes you suggested.

[RealDarko]

Just installed the map, it loads and save without problem. Have to say that is a very well done map, with an amazing potential.
Caldrail as you may know I'm a map maker, tell me If you need help populating the map or something else

You get that when the game can't find a map file. By default I use two, cald_ed_m01.tga & cald_ed_m02.tga. If they're in the right folder, there shouldn't be a problem with it.

[caldrail]

Got it. Is your folder name correct?

You wrote CAL-Zimbotho above. It should be CAL_Zimbotho. Use the underscore, not a hyphen.

My typing mistake. I had to manually retype the error message from FMB instead of copy/pasting it. My folder has the correct name with the underscore.
