AWAA WHY NOT A HOBBIT FROG ?

Can I do the same thing with a M A w install and put it on one drive and cfs3 the outher ?

Very impressed, Clive. The scenery is great, and FPS acceptable as far as I've seen - unless using the latest PD Spitfire cockpit in virtual cockpit mode. Then it drops off terribly. Not sure why that is.

Can't think why you used that horrid pre-war Blenheim skin, though, or some of the other skins you've used...

Thanks for your information and suggestions. In the end the solution turned out to be simple. Years ago I made a back-up of my original CFS3 aircraft so I copied that file into the Aircraft directory of BoB (deleting all aircraft except the BoB aircraft). Strangely enough I missed some textures then, even for the ‘new’ BoB aircraft, but after I copied all AvHistory aircraft I have, plus all ‘shared’ files directories of the ETO aircraft directory into the BoB directory, I got my textures back. I don’t know which of the copied aircraft is responsible, but if you lose textures this trick may be of use.

Clive, a very nice add-on (even if I only made one flight as yet)!

Hi Stickshaker,

By copying in an old set of CFS3 stock planes you have inadvertantly undone some of the work that was put into the BoB addon.

All the stock CFS3 planes had been editied to aircraft type 2 in the config files and set to spawn No in the xdp files.
This was to stop non period aircraft from showing up in game. (either in menus or mission spawns)

They had also had some work done on the various textures that render the horrible coloured stripes and code letters invisible in game, this was so people didnt have to worry about editing mos files for standalones and also to stop historical skins from being overlayed with stock stripes etc on any wingman or enemy aircraft you may see flying about during a mission or QC.

I would strongly suggest you put the included set of stock CFS3 aircraft back into your BoB install, to benefit the full BoB experiance.

regards Rob.
 
Thanks for pointing out my mistake Rob. I re-ran the installer as per Clive’s suggestions (see above) and I think all is right now.

Hi Nigel, LZ,

the prewar skin is not supposed to be in there, after checking we have identified that there are quite a few files that have not copied across for some reason during the build process for the installer file, it was supposed to have your skin WV-D. Clive is working on a new build to fix this.

Would it be alright to use your NG-Q skin as suggested in the upcoming fix for the fighter version? and if you have time could you make a skin for the bomber version with a slighty more period correct skin than the WV-D.


regards Rob.

Hi Rob,

You're welcome - help yourself to whatever you need. It's not a good moment for me to say I'll do a new skin - the new school year started today, and it's a total mess - but keep at me and when I get a break, I will. Don't hold me to a timetable, but feel free to remind me. Got a lot on my plate...
 
Hi Nigel,

No worries, real life comes first. Thanks for the OK on using the fighter version skin. I'll drop you a line with some ideas on skins, your already doing up a 609 Spit skin, and a new Blenhiem skin in addition would be great. no pressure just as you get a chance.

regards Rob.
 
Very nice work and challenging missions!
I noticed that the prop-disc are missing from the BoB-BF 109E-26and from the BoB_Bf 109e-02.
 
I have been having a ball with the BOB setup..:applause:
Thanks Clive and Team very Much..

I have managed to wreck every aircraft in it...:icon_lol:
Setting records here...:gameoff:
Thanks...
 
How do you create a Desktop StartUp Icon for BoB?

How do you create a Desktop StartUp Icon for this new BoB? All other CFS3 versions automatically created Desktop StartUp Icons.

Open up your CFS3 Bob folder. Find the cfs3.exe file. Click on that file, choose "create shortcut". Place the shortcut on your desktop.

Once the shortcut is on your desktop, right click the shortcut. Choose "Properties", then "Change Icon". Search for the cfs3bob.ico file (icon) and apply it to the shortcut you created. That's it.

This method applies to Vista but I suspect is roughly the same in all MS operating systems.
 
WSMWSM and Pat - Thank You !!!

Thank you! It is slightly different with Windows XP Home, but easy to do! A BIG THANK YOU to Pat and his team for this great work!!!
 
I am having a problem running the BoB Allied Ship Spaws mission;the game shut's down everytime im try this mission. Any idea what is wrong, it seem's OK in MB ?
 
I have narrowed the problem to the BoB_Blen_I a/c for some reason it does not show in the game.This a/c is the selected a/c for the BoB Allied Ship Spawns misson.

Does your BoB Install "aircraft" folder have a "BoB_Blen_I" folder in it? If not it may not have been installed during your BoB expansion installation.
