CFS3 BoB Alpha 01 Uploaded

There is a installation guide for the ETO and PTO RS in the sticky threads and a guide to help install in windows 10 also in the stick threads. I have no problem with either install after following instructions in stickies and i use Win7 as a OS. Maybe check there and it will solve your problems,hopefully.

I can fly in the ETO install, but I can't use the .bat files. Mind you: I installed that one too by the book! Several times. No cigar!

1. Is you ETO in C:\ ?
2. One can edit the batch files very easily and if you have an issue send them to me (PM and I'll give you my email) Let me know what drive you are using as well. I would need all relevant batch files.

These problems, with ETO at least, can be resolved. I know people have had issues with the BoB install, although I haven't with win10.

I'll reinstall in that location and send you the batch files. Real life demands my time today, so it will probably be tomorrow. Thank you for all the help!

You don't have to put in C:\ BUT the batch files have to know which drive ETO is in, so if you want, leave ETO where it is, let me know what drive that is when you send me your bat files.
 
Once you've found ALL the bat files and successfully pointed them in the right directory, it may be worth making the files .cmd rather than .bat if you are running Win10. Apparently Windows is happier with .cmd files but its just something I read.
 
Just discovered this freeware, installed all 3 things, but when my plane is in the air, then I have a kind of glimmer and the plane disappears in a certain view, also the ground textures are still displayed, although I should be above the water.

I Like the BAttle of britain scenario

If you installed BoB Alpha 01, that is not the correct or latest BoB install and I suggest uninstalling it and going to http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...-CFS3-Battle-of-Britain-Install-update-is-out! to install the latest.
 
Yes, I had first the alpha , then the upodate and then the optional Campagnendateien inserted, then I will just install it again without the alpha, thank you

Hi Elsner, They have to be installed in the correct order:

1) BoB Alpha

2) BoB Mk1

3) BoB Campaign

Do you have Ankors Shaders installed? Have you run the cfs3config.exe file? Your problem seems more like a graphics issue than anything to do with the install.

WOW! Do you have this issue with other CFS3 installs?

No, i have a 3.1 a BAckup Copie of the game vanilla, there is no problem, but after i had install the Ankors Shaders, it is fixed. The only thing I have now is that in CFS 3 the planes always pull slightly to the left when they take off, as if I were steering to the left. Although the joystick is configured Is landing in England actually possible here in the Dynamic Campaign?
 
I find all my aircraft pull slightly to the left on take off; even 2 engine BF110's and LW bombers. Just a touch of the left foot brake and later rudder will keep them straight.
So are you saying the BoB issue solved now?

Hi, this is just that you need to uncheck Dual Pass Render in the cfs3config.exe.

I recommend that once you have the configuration settings right, you make the configoverrides.xml "read only" so that it does not get changed. The configoverrides file is in your AppData.
 
Really happy with the new update !! Great work to all involved ! Enjoy it with the shader package (older version), and this has been something i've been wanting to get into for a while. Excellent !!! Regards, Scott
 
Hi All, I had been having random crashes of my install, not every flight and sometimes I could go for days without it happening but then it would be back.
Eventually it got the better of me and I decided to try a reinstall.
After reinstalling a few times the crashes still persisted very randomly so I thought bugger this I going after it and started trying to find a missing or corrupt file.

I started by looking in the facilities folder at all the .xmls and I found a reference to rapide_static in the ACC_Abbots-Bromley_airbase file. I thoroughly searched the install for this folder as either a aircraft, facility, building or vehicle and found nothing, so I just made a copy of the ACC_Tigermoth_static folder, renamed the folder to to rapide_static.

Next I deleted the .bdp and the .dds files as we only need the ones in the original folder and then renamed the .m3d and the .xdp files to rapide_static and finally edited the .xdp file model name to rapide_static and since doing this I haven't had anymore crashes, well none yet after a few days of flying around.

Here is the file zipped up, just unzip and drop in your buildings folder on the BOB Expansion install only if you are missing the rapide_static folder in your install and your airbase file for ACC_Abbots-Bromley_airbase is looking for it. You wont have a Rapide but you will have a Tigermoth pretending to be a Rapide.

Hope this helps

Mick

Hi Mick,
Good catch, thank you. Normally having a facility entry that doesn't exist doesn't cause any issues so I'll investigate what this is. You could have just deleted the entry, it would have the same effect.
Cheers.
Clive
 
Hi Clive, I sure you are right, I started going through all the ACC facilities files after I had another crash and found many things missing, in fact a lot of them I found in my ETO install, some I imported over and some I edited out of the facilities.

Thanks for all the work you and others involved put into this.

Cheers mate

Mick
