Wow western. Astonishing, simply perfect! Great job!
Thank you so much for this pack

Thank you

Hi Western.
Thank you very much for your wonderful work.
Best regards
Seb

[Gaston]

Woaw ! Hope they will be included in next BAT update !

[Mission_bug]

Thank you very much for this update western, really appreciated.

I had a CTD and traced it back to the original static files, once I found them in the old folders all was okay:

76D17FF0A0D3940C, DF00F8C0383A4676 and EFFA9BD439EF1AB4.

I had removed the old folders before adding yours, maybe I should have left them in, anyway it seems fine as far as CTD goes.

I disabled the previous entries for the AI, was that correct?


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Nice work.

However I have to report missing dependency:

Code: [Select]

[9:07:20 PM] INTERNAL ERROR: Can't open file '3DO/Plane/TEXTURES/wheels_MiG15.tga'
[9:07:20 PM] WARNING: object '3DO/Plane/TEXTURES/wheels_MiG15.tga' of class 'TTexture2D' not loaded
[9:07:20 PM] INTERNAL ERROR: Texture required

[9:07:20 PM] Mission error, ID_04: java.lang.RuntimeException: INTERNAL ERROR: Material: Can't load 'WheelTire.mat'
Would you please include this texture in the mod? I'll try making a dummy one and see if it works or requires more dependencies.

Also, I just noticed, they use the old FM instead of the new one

Oh .... I forgot the texture file is not installed.

no no no
(deleted)

"Mod Wheels V.5" is required.

... and also JetEra v1.33 is needed , I forgot to mention.

Also, I just noticed, they use the old FM instead of the new one

Umm .... something confused where's which ones are the latest in beginning my works.
I'll look into it again, but some weeks is needed.

[Koty]

Cheers, take your time.

The gunpods and all work really well. However it's built on a very old and outdated release of the mods. The newer ones are in WIP section and they include their own external flight model (which still needs a lot of work).

That's shocking me ....
I don't know Mi-24P subtype was already made.
I never used any of WIP section materials in this pack.
So, Some of my and wasted works might be doubled , I failed. 


To merge both into one in carefully comparing 3d / 2d / java ..... will need more long time, not weeks but months, sigh !!

[KingTiger503]

Take your time Wes, Like Someone like Koty will Help you.


Best Regards KT503

[Koty]

I would help.
In fact I was going to work more on the flight models to add proper turbine behaviour - but I am currently busy with real life stuff.
