Dutch East Indies is back...and Papua New Guinea...and RAAF / DoA

[Worthless]

Still no radio or text

No luck.

Rami....I found both the Sound and Radio Communication were checked.
SC....some of the CFS2.cfg items were set to 0, but changing them all to 1 had no effect.

Oh, well. It's not a disaster. I can still fly the Campaign. My AI's can obviously hear me, because they respond to instruction. I had never messed with the Buffalo before. It's a very nice little airplane.

Thanks for the response guys. If you get anymore ideas, shoot them to me.

One More Idea...

When all else fails, try a different aircraft.

Oddly enough, the messages CAN be hidden by a cockpit frame with some planes, and make one think there's no display......

Otherwise, I'm stumped.

Anyone else ?

[Worthless]

Nope!

I'm stumped to. Tried both the P-36 and the Buffalo. In QC, text and audio work fine. In Campaign mode and Sgl. Mission mode, neither work. Go figure!

Hi Worthless,

Did you amend your country.cfg file with the one found here :
http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs2/SDK/country.cfg

The Dutch "allegiance=14" should show in the above file and in the .cmg and .mis files of the campaign. You should then get the stock American radio chatter.

Still no voice or text command or chatter

Sure did. The country.cfg in my install is the same as the one you posted.

Worthless,

Try checking the [MISC.DATA] section of the .dp file and make sure the allegiance is congruent vis a vis the campaign allegiance.

 

[Worthless]

Nope

Nice try. You are correct that the allegiance in the DP was 3 instead of 14, but changing it had no effect except to turn off the voice chatter and text in QC.
I did remember to delete the CDP when I changed the allegiance in the DP.

I thank you for your efforts to diagnose the problem, but it's sort of like a lost golf ball. I'll just drop another, take a stroke and move on. Don't waste anymore time on it.

2nd Round DEI

On the top of the screen, if you're flying in windowed mode, one of the options, in the same menu where you can increase the sim speed, there should be a check mark for sound and radio communication. If radio communication is unchecked, you will not hear the sounds.

I flew the Dutch Campaign back in July. No raido sound, but otherwise no problems. It was very demanding to fly underpowered aircraft against the Japanese and took me a while.

Had to put it aside after that, so now I decided to give the Japaese Campaign a try. The very first mission wouldn't load up.
I get an exception reading "can't find the model brewster model 339 Buffalo in the library". This occurs in both the Campaign mode and Single Mission mode. After that it kicks me back out to the menu. The Dutch Campaign still works fine. ......Oh.... and by the way, the sound for radio commands NOW works in the Single Mission mode. Still doesn't in the Campaign mode. Ain't CFS2 a hoot.

Of course, I have a Buffalo in my AC list but the description is not the same. This is what I have in my AC list.

Aircraft.cfg

[fltsim.0]
title=B-339D Buffalo
sim=Brewster-339D
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Checklist_339DBuffalo


I opened the mission file in notepad and it definitely calls for a "brewster model 339 Buffalo". See [unit_type.1] below.

[unit_type.0]
type_id=3800
unit_family=1
name=A6M2_ZERO
[unit_type.1]
type_id=3824
unit_family=1
name=Brewster Model 339 Buffalo

Sorry for all the verbage. I've looked back at the intall zip and can only find the one Brewster 339d in the zip.

I know it's been a while since this came out and this is probably off of your radar screen, but maybe someone else has had the same experience. For now,.... I'm stumped.

Worthless,

I did an update to that campaign this summer which is here and at my site, but this is a really easy fix. Just rename the aircraft in the mission file from this...

[unit_type.0]
type_id=3800
unit_family=1
name=A6M2_ZERO

[unit_type.1]
type_id=3824
unit_family=1
name=Brewster Model 339 Buffalo

To this...

[unit_type.0]
type_id=3800
unit_family=1
name=mz-a6m2b

[unit_type.1]
type_id=3824
unit_family=2
name=Brewster-339D

Save and close, the mission will work fine.

 

[Worthless]

Thanks but there must be something else.....

I started with your update in July, so I should have the latest Campaign. And I did try a hand edit of the first mission on the Japanese side of the campaign before sending up my original help needed message. It was still a no go. When I launched the first mission "DEI (Japanese) 1.mis - dated 6/21/11, I got the "Can't find message".
Do you know if there is a reference to this AC elsewhere in the campaign, that I am missing?

PS.....I notice that the "DEI (Japanese) 2.mis" file reference is "Brewster - 339D".

NeverMind!

Sometimes I just wonder if it's just time to turn on the gas. Campaign file was it. I edited the mission file but not the campaign file. Sorry for rattling your chain.
