BTW my response was not a denial I was stating facts.We also do listen to what people say and try to incorporate what we can.

We didn't have permission at the time for some of the addons in question.We are trying to include as much as we can.Not all developers will give permission to use their files.We are still trying to get permission for some of the things we want use.Now if we don't get the permission we can't use it.In that case if you want to add something extra that's up to you.

Doesn't seem to be any ship designers around anymore so we're stuck with what we have.
As for planes none that you've mentioned have been made or planned.There seems to be much more interest in ETO planes than PTO planes,sorry to say.

My perspective

The comments made by v were factual and relevant. However, it is not what you say but the way in which you say them that usually causes ire. That was my general reaction to the comments made about some of the issues facing the PTO project. Perfecting the installer would be great and including the desired planes, objects and other pieces would be welcomed. I think the very fact that there is a new update coming recognizes the fact that there were areas that could have been improved.

I am not sure we pursue to be professional here, we try to enjoy our hobby, do the best with what we know how to do, and above enjoy the relationships and fun we derive from this hobby. If we screw up, upload add-ons that need a fix or two, well that happens. :isadizzy: I know that not one of us wants to upload something that is corrupt or incomplete, but try as we might we all make mistakes. Tell us we made a mistake, encourage us to fix it, and if you have the talent and time don't just be a consumer be a contributor, that would help us all.

You could try Fouteman. His website is full of new ships.

I'll have another look, but from my last visit he'd a number of existing ships with new skins. But they may be workable.

Are you saying the files that the 1.54 update asks you to chase down are not really needed for everything to work properly? If I do the complete install without these extra files and the other files that they tell you are necessary, the sim will work OK and without errors?

If that's the case I'll try it!

Well I just checked the night missions and it didn't seem to have any searchlights.I don't have the GC searchlights either.I may have modified some missions to my liking so I can't say for sure.

BTW the Oscar just has to be dropped in the aircraft folder,everything else is there for it.PTO had the latest avh weapons at that time.I just put the Oscar in today myself because I didn't have it with no problems.

I also modify my game alot to try some new things.

Thanks, that's good info. OK, then I'm going to give this another try.

One last question: The Oscar files don't seem to be in a folder and the txt file says drop them into the games aircraft folder. Is this correct? It would seem that all aircraft in the aircraft folder should have their own folder? Is it OK to just dump all those individual files into the games aircraft folder?

Vogelscheuche, I just now downloaded that Oscar from AvHistory myself, and like all of their aircraft, you have to unzip (extract) the zip file before installation, preferably to a folder OUTSIDE of your game install. Inside that zip file is a folder with the name of that aircraft on it. All you have to do is drop this folder into the aircraft folder of your game install.:d

 

[Vogelscheuche]

.......... Inside that zip file is a folder with the name of that aircraft on it.....

OK, I got it. The unzipper I was using for some reason did not create the folder. WinZip worked fine. I'll redownload all the install files and have a go at this. Thanks to everyone who replied with help.

thanks Steve and the rest of the PTO team. I recently took advantage of Aeroplane Heaven giving away a number of CFS3 aircraft for free and downloaded and installed the AH Boomerang into my PTO. Now I just need to pull my finger out and make a ground pounding mission or two for the Boomerang (although I could take the easy way out and modify one of the existing P38 missions)

cheers
