O-1 Driver's ETO Siege of Bastogne Tank Mission

:kilroy:Here's a change of pace. One of the 4th Armored Division's M-4 Shermans Rips into the Germans near Bastogne. U.S. 3rd Army Commander, Lt. Gen. George S. Patton would be proud to see his boys workin' up a sweat in the cold.:d

:kilroy:BeauB, if you zoom in as close as you can and look straight past the Tiger, through the notch in the shattered building, you can see my Sherman in the distance, comin' up behind him. The "Sweet Spot".:d

P.S. Be sure to check out the previous page for screenies of O-1 Driver's SCW I-15 Defense of Guernica mission.

Hey Grizzly,
love those tank battles :applause:. I really enjoy get down in amongst it sometimes in a tank. CFS3 handles the task surprisingly well - a great flexible engine.

@Nonato, its interesting seeing the truck_crater effect in use, I like the effect.
 
Great pictures. I've tried loading the 1.02 patch ( I didn't have the original 1.01) over a vanilla patched to 3.1 instal but got all sorts of weirdness. To start with the sim opens with the pilot going along and spinning round and round. Select 'missions' and this stops but nothing loads, then CTD. I might try it again later and see what happens.

A couple of questions. If you don't have the original version 1.01 do you need to install this and then 1.02 over it or can you go straight to 1.02 over a vanilla patched installation?

If you can go straight to the 1.02 version how do you select era one when nothing has been started?

What is the installation sequence starting from scratch if you don't have the 1.01 version. Yes I read all the readme's but I'm still confused. Don't forget it's Brainless posting here :icon_lol:.

And lastly can we get the super RAF airfields for the dedicated BOB installation as a separate install?

Are there still FPS problems with the new airfields. I tried the Beta versions but get only 5.00-6.00 FPS in Hawkinge and had to strip everything out to get a frame rate high enough to take off in!? The others were fine tho' and these look so,so much better than the default ones.

The ETO looks great work guys if only I could get it to work:ernae:
 
:kilroy:Brainless, you've got a big problem. You obviously don't have CFS3 ETO Expansion 1.0 onstalled. The ETO Expansion Update 1.01 is invalid and was discontinued. It looks to me like you tried to install the ETO Expasion Update into your CFS3 vanilla install.

You need to:

1. Go here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=862&page=5 Use this link to get the downloader for CFS3 ETO Expansion 1.0. It's in post #100.

2. Go here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=4040 Use this link to get the downloader for CFS3 ETO Expansion Update 1.02. It's in post #2

3. Completely uninstall your vanilla Stock CFS3 install and all of its components.

4. Reinstall CFS3 and update with the 3.1 and 3.1a updates, preferably in the default location, if possible. Make sure to fly it at least once afterwards.

5. Install CFS3 ETO Expansion 1.0 as per all readme instructions. Remember to start and fly it at least once in Era 1.

6. Make sure ETO Expansion 1.0 has been started in Era 1 and exited. Then run ETO Expansion Update 1.02 as per all readme instructions.

After this, you should be good to go.:d
 
Thanks Grizzy 50. Seems like I've done a 'Brainless' here. To start with I think I've posted this query in the wrong place 'cause this is for pics. Sorry if I upset anyone posting wrong!

Also I've completely missed the ETO 'bits' and done it all wrong not really understanding what the ETO is all about :redf:.

I've copied and printed your detailed in instructions kindly posted for idiots like me to follow and I'm going to have another go now.

Bless you all. What would us 'Brainless' ones do without you clued-up fellas.

Cheers and beers.

When you hit a plane there is a star burst. OH, by the way I have the HO229v5 using lazor guns. I put the eto effects xml and the fire power effects xml + the tracer light effects all in one effects xml and wow it looks great.
 
Night fighting lights

If you would like to add light to your night fighting add this lines to your effects xml. To put in your effects xml. open with notepad go to edit then find. Copy and paste <fx_tracer ---------then click find. When you find the <fx_tracer_m ClassName delete them. Then copy and paste the lines below and save. That shoud do it. Be sure to back up or rename your effects xml. before you start. This effect makes night flying more enjoyable.

Hmmm! I thought the point of night flying is that it was hard to see. But then that's just me.:kilroy:
