    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

PTO-RS Uploaded

PTO Rising Sun is still fun, even though not finished, it serves a special function for more Theaters in the Pacific. A lot of cool aircraft available and more. Don't give up on PTO-RS unless you need the HD space. I play them all all ,and all are very enjoyable. ETO,MAW,MAW1943,PTO-RS,PTO-Solomons,BoB Mk1,Korea,CFS3-V3 are all fun and bring variety to the sim.

Yes that one works fine, I had just thought RS had its own campaigns, I have since deleted RS and am only using the solomons version now. Are there any other campaigns for it?

The whole package is a proof-of concept exercise. I only set up a campaign where you can fly for US_Navy, USA, Japan_IJN and Japan_AAF. I've become pretty familiar with writing campaigns over the years, so doing different/new ones is not a daunting prospect. The nek.xml file in the campaigns folder provides the list of available nations that could be written into a campaign (eg. US_Marines). I've found that it is tricky to successfully add production centers and invasion areas so the existing campaign is a bit limited in that respect. Sometimes it would be nice to have different default spawning nationalities (currently US_Navy and Japan_IJN because of all the ships) but to do that you need to prepare other country.xml files to swap in and out. The order of the nationalities in the country.xml file determines which are the default air and ship spawning nationalities. In campaigns, facilities are not restricted in that way, and on a frontline you will find the full variety of nationalities forming bunkers, artillery, dug-in-tanks, etc.

So a long-winded way of saying I need to do a bit of feffing about before preparing other campaigns.
 
There is something wrong with that install. Its missing textures for Ford island and the building placements look all wrong.
 
I would recommend that you install the pearl harbor and the standalone china theaters rather than the rising sun theater
 
I may just try it that way instead. Will miss the Islands though.Been working fine all these years for me. Added everything possible to it over the years and still enjoy it. Love the Solomons also.
