i plan to start downloading this over the next few days, as i've had more basic issues to work through first, and haven't qualified as one of those pilots 'that have everything', lol

it is not hard have enough storage space a strong enough cpu plenty of ram and a good cooling system. Recommend a cryo cooling system over anything else. Plus patience when things keep going bonk

[SAS~Malone]

i don't have any issues hardware-wise, mate.
my rig may not be the latest, greatest, but it is more than sufficient to handle IL-2, and runs some of the latest games with ease.
and i still have well over 2TB external HD space, so no worries there, either
my problems have been with my actual IL-2 installs only. i have had strange issues which have occurred consistently with my last few installs, and because of that, i have simply started lagging behind, as far as getting up to date with the recent mods....
the strange problems were literally occurring overnight, with no apparent cause, and eventually dragged on into months of my time, just spent trying to figure out exactly wtf was going on.
as for patience, well, usually i have that in bucket-loads, although admittedly, the buckets have been running on empty at times, due to all the problems i've been encountering recently, lol.
anyway, all seems well at the moment.
my latest installs are running fine, and at last i am able to tackle projects like this.

I have those gremlins too might be able to help on some if it has happen to me the worst one is the famous 6dof failure. When I find and repair that one after a time something else happens.

[SAS~Malone]

thanks for the offer, jt.
for now, while everything is working well, i don't want to 'rock the boat', though..

Monty 1 @ http://wnhammons.mediafire.com/?csjanfo9wuwnm comes in at 1.22GB, not 2.09 as stated here. WTF?

[SAS~Malone]

no need to stress out for your very first post, mate.
2.09 would be the size once it's unzipped, no doubt.....

[Bonez]

I'm not stressing. I've read the 73 page thread for TFM "a time or two", as well as many other threads on this forum regarding DBW, UP3, & TFM.

Nope. That's the unzipped properties. Nice try, but a wrong answer. I do know wtf I'm doing with a computer. I've been 'playing' with them since 1980-81

My 70% CTD problem arose at Monty 5. 1-4 ran fine.

Well I can tell you Bonez you Boned your install, only meaning you didnt follow completely the install instructions. Re do it and come back with a better attitude.

[352nd_Hoss]

As far as I know Bonez there are no known issues with pack 5.  Try loading pack 6 it might put the entry in that you are missing.  You are going to have to do that anyway at pack 14/15.  Don't forget to install the patches for 11, 12, 13. 

Keep trying, don't give up, if you have to go back and redownload pack 5. 

Cheers

Well I can tell you Bonez you Boned your install, only meaning you didnt follow completely the install instructions. Re do it and come back with a better attitude.

First off, there's nothing wrong with my attitude. I simply was wondering WTF Monty 1 is doing coming in under the reported size when it's been downloaded from the mediafire file share from C2Aaircrew. Are you ignoring the little smiley in my post deliberately to stir the pot, or do you always jump to conclusions, or maybe you believe you are an expert at interpreting, tone, inflection, mood, and other emotions via text?

As far as screwing up the install, I'm not so sure about that. I followed EXACTLY what has been written. I added one mod at a time (after patching 1, 11, 12, & 13 first, of course), testing each one before moving on to the next one.

I started with the stock 4.07. game. Patched using FBDSM 407 to DBW1.71. CAREFULLY compared the files in the patched existing #DBW folder to the Vanilla ones posted here. They were all IDENTICAL to the byte, including time stamps and, where verifiable, the file contents.

Another discrepancy that I noticed is the file list and sizes provided does not list Monty #7. Another "WTF" moment. ???

I'm not rushing things anyway. I have perfectly good separate installs working of Stock, HSFX6, & DBW 1.71+UP3RC4 version. I'll get it sorted, eventually.

Hoss, I did try just plowing through methodically as I had been until then, but even up to 10 it was still no go. I reverted with the backup I kept and went back to research and reading to see if there was anything with 5. Having found nothing about it, I agree with your sentiments on 5; that, in itself, isn't the issue.

There are no CRC errors in any of my RAR archives and with the exceptions of 1 & 7, the sizes are perfect when unpacked. (I tested every last one before I unpacked so much as a readme.txt from any of them.)

[352nd_Hoss]

The 70% crash has to be a .ini file somewhere, I could send you my pack 5 .STD and see what happens.

Did you turn your log file on?..............  go in and put Log=1 in your conf.ini.  Start the game, when it crashes go back into the root folder and look for a file called Log.lst, towards the bottom of the list you'll see what the game is looking for when it crashes. Come back and post the last third of that file in the #Code# command so it's not so long.


Cheers
