I believe that is normal. Led Zepplein probably could explain it better than I already have. When you select the masterspawnselector it then goes to the slave bat to run and rename the files to the state that you have selected. Going through that process the bat file tries to rename all the files to a particular state. If the files are already in the renamed state then you will get a file not found message, because the file is already in the end state.

The problem is, both my masterspawnselector shortcut on the desktop and the one in the spawns directory give about 40 "file not founds" in a command window when I run them.

Any idea why this would be happening?

Pity. No campaign has been written yet for a specific Battle of Britain campaign.

In post #11 above, which nicely explains the proper use of the "spawn" selector for each of the eras, there seems to be no mention of which spawn to use for era 2 which is "Summer 1940 - Year end 1942 Battle of Britain"

What would be the correct spawn for Era 2?

No

The eto has its own set of effects, weapons, pylons. Anything already there will be overwritten if it has the same file name. If you install the FP add on to the eto then the FP effects overwrite the ETO effects and weapons.

The only way to combine the 2 is to cherry pick and merge specific items.

My fault for being unclear...
I mean, as long as FP won't hurt the installation process, most folks (myself included) would doubtful miss Firepower's fx, though great at the time, surely the ETO's stuff would be preferable and therefore simply letting ETO overwrite would be the way to go.(?)

hi Bob, first of all thanks a lot for what you and the team are doing for our beloved community then a simple question:
regarding aircrafts is this upgrade (download went fine but did not already installed) adding only new ones or also modifies the old ones whatever stock or ETO standalones?
thks for feedback, my best regards, Gianluca
PS: I already have FP fighters and bombers in my ETO 1.02, but no missions and fx of course, and for what I´ve seen they perform quite normally.... when updating to 1.20 do u think I should have problem whatsoever? read the installation readme for FP bombers utilities and found it clear and easy so I do not expect major issues but...with CFS3 better asking before!

Greetings G

Our plane captain Capt Winters has shepard many new aircraft into the 1.20 update, over 80! Plus there are major mods to the existing aircraft by improving sounds, VCs and skin textures. Also the shared files have been combed with a fine tooth comb to delete duplicates.

The FP Heavy Bombers utility only affects the B-17s and B-24. You should not have any problems by running the utility to install the additional B-24s and companion missions.

cheers
Bob

thks Bob, so you mean no changes in air.files or cgf. files.
this sounds good to me, having improved those files in stock planes with the Mudpond utility which suits to me and added effects like gtrails and vapor trails to to the xdp´s of some others...

Ah G

You might want to save your cfg and air files then.
