Rince33,

Give me a list in this thread of any missions you have trouble with, and I'll have a look once my grad semester is over. I can also send you the Battle of France package if you want to test some new stuff. :wiggle:
 
That would be awesome, I loved the screenshots.

It's 12 after midnight where I live:southafrica:, so its off to bed I go.:sleeping:
 
Hi
I have made a fix for the floating cliffs, it's a new model, take a look, let me know what you think.
You can find it in the cfs2 magazine issue 4 Nov/Dec 2012 http://thefreeflightsite.com/CFS2_Magazine.htm

Thanks e.a.wicklund, your version looks much better, have it downloaded.:)

Hey Robert - Installed your fix. It looks great. Thanks for that.

Rince - I've updated the Mark_2 texture a tad. Screenshot with Robert's cliffs follows:

BoB missions Wingmen crash on takeoff

I've been trying the BoB missions "August 1940" from the BoB team. On every mission so far my wingmen crash/explode on takeoff.

I take off just fine and finish the mission. Still it would be nice to have some friends.

What's going on with them?

E.A. Wicklund,

My apologies, I was away for the weekend. This is an issue I am continuing to have in the Battle of France at certain airfields, mainly Merville and Vitry-en-Artois. I have not found a solution yet, but am working on it. I'm still having a lot of issues with AI crashes on landing. Oddly, it does not happen with the Gladiator and Lysander, primarily the Hurricane and Spitfire.

If I find a solution, I'll be sure to let you know. I'm also looking at the performance of the Hurricane and Spitfire. :very_drunk:

No worries. Life happens.

It turns out the trouble was my fault. I had diddled with the .air files as is my long-time habit with CFS2. Part of that process is moving the CoG until the plane flies hands free at cruise. I think moving it, so affected the AI that they nosed over on takeoff (during landing too).

Eventually, I had to find a different .air file for the Hurricane. Even putting the original aircraft.cfg back didn't help. It's fine now. Spit is working too.

I've noticed the Bf109E is too fast (311mph at sea level). It should be 290mph. The Hurricane is just right, or close enough. The Spit...slower than the Hurricane (250mph at sea level)! It should be 288mph at sea level.

I'm not certain if these .air files are the originals or not, so I blame me and my compulsive fiddling. I am working to resolve these issues right now. If you're interested, I could send you the revised .air files.
 
Rami,

I am reinstalling (From your site) in a new, clean install and I am missing the files ,"add to scenery.cfg", the "airbase.dat, the "add to mdlnames.txt" and the add "gsl" file. Not sure if the auto installer had a "hiccup" or I did.
 
Yes but installed it into a temp folder this time and found it! I don't think I pushed the right button the first time. :banghead:
 
Interested in all things BoB related. Where do i find these BoB for CFS2 files ? Would love to try it out. Does it cover everything needed to install ? Regards,Scott
