Agracier, do you have this latest AI mod that Anto mentioned? 

[vpmedia]

Thanks,

C:\Sturmovik DBW 1.7\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#DBW_1916\AIRCRAFT_Fokker_EIII\3do\Plane\FokkerE3(Multi1)

The path is correct for my install, I've been installing for so long that if I asked about a ctd and it was because of my incorrect folder depth I'd have to commit seppuku out of pure shame ... ha ha

Anyway, a 20% ctd does not indicate an incorrect install or folder depth, at least if I am not mistaken it doesn't. Doesn't a 20% ctd indicate some kind of java problem?

we excluded that possibility (double foldering happened wth me few times to be honest )

20% is java (recently had one because of 2 missing classfiles)

I had the 20% crash too. Installed AI engine hotkeys and the game loaded but hung at 100% loading. Installed Jet War Mod and it works fine.

[SAS~Anto]

I just updated to the latest DBW1916 and can confirm the Fokker EIII runs fine. AND it worked without the AI mod.

[dsawan]

runs fine in dbw 1916. its just the regular dbw 1.7 it wont. i'll try again but i at work.

[vpmedia]

enable other air.ini in dbw-1916 and then you can fly against ww2 planes

[agracier]

I finally got the plane to work. What I did was update from the very basic, first original #BDW1916 folder (the one that appears on first installation of DBW - best to save that somewhere) ... previously I had been updating previous updates of #DBW1916 (updating v1b2 with v1b5 or something like that) ... that must have messed up a whole bunch of files ...

So if you update the original (very small) #DBW1916 folder with the very latest update (vp_dbw1916_update_v1b5.rar)and then afterwards apply the three new patches

http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/dbw1916_FokkerEIII_Aviatik_patch2.zip
http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/AIRCRAFT_Friedrichshafen_GIII.zip

all should work OK ...

Well, the install instructions say that you should delete or deactivate your existing #dbw_1916 folder
then obliviously do the update with the files numbered 1,2,3,4 by extracting them in that order into your game folder. I didnt tested other possibilities so maybe not deleting the original folder could lead to some troubles but not very likely.

So you don't really need the original DBW1916 folder to start out with? If you use update v1b5 on its own it will work just as well? That's good to know ... thanks for the clarification.

I love this little plane. I have one issue with it, though.
After prolonged flight of about 15-20 minutes, my engine RPM just drops and doesn't stop until I hit the ground. I can get up to 500m with Mixture back to about 1/2, but the engine RPM still drops, regardless of whether I bump the mixture up to 100% or right down to around 30-40%. Any ideas? Its killing me because I've made some good missions and I've no idea why the engine is dying out.

[Hubberranz]

my engine RPM just drops... Any ideas?

See what key U assigned to magnetos. See first post/engine for ~% . Be sure to be on magnetos 1+2 (this is default).
Perhaps U are reducing magnetos to 2 and then 1 without noticing... 

if U press "plus" magnetos, normally nothing happens cause U are already at maximum 1+2.
if U press "minus" magnetos U see "magneto 2" on screen; but with this done, U are now down to 66% engine power and doomed.
... so U need to go back up to 1+2 with a press of "plus" magnetos key again.
Good luck with that!

Kinda new to WWI aerial combat and as among many other things today managed to F up my attempt at installing this.

As far as I can tell it is something DBW 1916 related. Supposedly this should work on modact, but because I' m incompetent and never check my facts, I'mm assuming there is some prequisite missing. Such as DBW.
