There are some typos so the bat file does not run properly.

Code:
"aircraft\DR_Engine_Sounds\BR_Engine_Napier_Sabre_24_cylinder_open_pit\Sound\sound"
does not exist

the actual path is
Code:
"aircraft\DR_Engine_Sounds\BR_Engine_Napier_Sabre_24_cylinder_open_pit\BR_Engine_Napier_Sabre_24_cylinder_open_pit\Sound"

Code:
"aircraft\W40_H75A3"
does not exist

the actual path is
Code:
"aircraft\w40_H75A3"

Also RMDIR /s /q "your\path" should be used instead of del /s /f /q "your\path\*.*" because del does NOT remove subdirectories. And since the subdirectories will be left behind, RMDIR will not remove them without /s. The way the current bat file is set up is that the directories will not be properly removed.

Hi GM406,

thanks for the heads up, I just checked my install, the H75 aircraft has been removed, the upper - lower case "w" in the path name/folder does'nt effect the delete function. I tried this several times when making up the bat file.

I'm not sure about your napier engine sound structure. that was the structure in 1.2 but somewhere along the road, cant remember if it was ETO-3 or ETO-4 we fixed the double folder structure, and that is why its now only looking to remove the second sound folder from the single named pathway.

Your napier open air cockpit engine sound path should look like this.

\aircraft\DR_Engine_Sounds\BR_Engine_Napier_Sabre_24_cylinder_open_pit\Sound
with all lose files inside the sound folder.

thanks again for the heads up, and the clarification of the way to get rid of sub directories correctly I will use that for the next update.

regards Rob.
 
Hm, that is a bit odd I did a fresh install of ETO and the napier directory was like that...something must have messed up for me along the way. I think I will give ETO a reinstall and see what happens with that.

Edit: After reinstalling ETO the napier path still doubled up, so I'm not too sure what is going on there.
