Im asking again if the old effects package is included in any of the new ones?
Thanks a lot and congratulations for a great work

No, the old effects has not been "re-released" yet.  Though if you have the original Effects pack, the new will be very similar.

Can I use the old effects pack with the new packs , or there are any anflicts betwen them?
Thanks

[WindWpn]

there should not be any conflicts which would CTD the game with any of the current new packs released.. 

Though when the new Effects pack is released, the old can be abandoned (primarily it will be a duplicate except for a few updates).

Thanks for tour fast reply
All the best

Wind,
   I haven't seen this posted before so I thought I would ask.  When I load the MOD_Static_DAF mod, I get a CTD.  I unloaded the MOD_Aircraft mod and everything works fine.  I know about not having the MOD_Static mod loaded at the same time but have not heard about needing to unload the MOD_Aircraft mod additionally...

Hmm, cannot replicate, when I run vanilla DBW 1.7.1 with Aircraft and DAF, no CTD.  Aircraft and all Static packs should be mutually exclusive as they do not employ overlapping inis.  Does this CTD occur when you run Aircraft with the original Static?

Wind,
   No.  When I use the original Static pack everything is fine.  When I swap over to the STATIC_DAF pack, it loads through the DBW screen but CTD shortly after the IL2 loading screen begins.  I guess I will need to eliminate the individual AIRCRAFT packs within the mod one at a time and see if I can find the culprit...

Are you referring to a CTD occurring when you attempt to load a campaign mission?  Basically, you can load into the UI screen where you can select Player Career, QMB, FMB, etc...?  Or does it fail while loading to the UI?

Hi Dennis

Look at Winds question carefully.  There are no aircraft packs in the DAF JSGME Pack - The taxiing aircraft and extra statics are not treated as aircraft or stationary aircraft, they are vehicles and stationary objects.  This has been discussed on the DAF thread at some length and established that the DAF pack is stable from a clean DBW install, which is the point of it. 

Your likely 'culprit' with regard to the DAF Pack, from my experience and others, may be an addon aircraft or other associated mod.  You need to apply the DAF Pack to a clean DBW install, without other mods except those that ship with DBW, then add, or re-add, extra aircraft/other stuff that you want.

Do it this way round and you will either get it all back or discover the odd-man out, he isn't hiding in the DAF Pack though.

Wind/Monty,
   
   To answer both of your questions, no, I was getting the CTD right after the DBW load screen finished loading.  I never got to the Mission selection screen.  Also, I have read the discussions in your thread Monty and understand it is for a clean install.  I was just trying to avoid unloading all the other MODS since it takes some time to load them back in again.  It takes about 6 minutes for me just to load/reload the two different STATIC mods.

   Thank you both for your suggestions but I have found the problem.  I needed a larger "Maximum RAM Size setting" in the IL2 launcher.  I usually keep it as small as I can since I am still using Vista and it only recognizes a maximum of 3 Gig of memory.  I increased the RAM size setting in the program launcher and it now works just fine with the Aircraft Mod and the rest installed.

Thanks.  Keep up the support.  It is appreciated!

Good news Dennis, we were all correct then!  My point was don't start picking stuff apart when there has to be a really simple solution close by.  The RAM setting can knacker things if set too high or too low, there's another one to chalk up to experience!
