Is this me, the install or what? I have the latest BAT version, clean vanilla, no added mods. And everything else is working fine, no snags. But ...

I can't get the Ta-152 to work. Any variant. When I try and fly it (Quick Mission or FMB) it crashes the game. Really hard. Back to desktop 

Has anyone else seen this? Can someone confirm that this is a problem, and not just in my mind / install?

[Frankiek]

I read in the Aviaskins forum a user having a very similar problem with the FW-190. Do you have a log for your CTD? In his case it was a problem with missing classes this means that something went wrong during installs

[SAS~Poltava]

Here is a quote from end of the log, with what I take is the problem.

Print compass heading is a well known error for the FW family it is strange as this is a typical error for 4.09 and 4.13 versions but shouldn't be a problem in BAT that is 4.12 based

I quickly tried all the TA-152 in WAW and couldn't reproduce your error

I am quite sure that this must be a corrupted or missing sfs file in your install.

As mentioned a user at aviaskins had a similar problem with the FW-190 cockpit.

[SAS~Poltava]

So how long must the rollback be, for the BAT install, I mean? All the way to a functioning, non-modded 4.12? Is there any way to tell?

[Frankiek]

It is very difficult to say as this seems a class file mismatch. Do you know since when you have the problem? If you had everything working properly using previous versions of BAT then maybe just making a fresh download of the last patches and reinstalling on top of what you have should take care of the problem.

[vonofterdingen]

Before reinstalling, try deactivating any cockpit mods that you might have, in case they have introduced the conflict.

[SAS~Poltava]

I have no mods, pure vanilla, but useful reminder!

But reinstalling the whole SheBang from 4.12 feels a bit too daunting right now. I will have to live without the Ta-152 & Fw-190D, for a while at least. 

[SAS~Storebror]

Reinstalling BAT 4.3 should be sufficient, as it will replace all classfiles in the #WAW folder anyway.
Files.SFS in BAT is untouched vanilla 4.12.2m.
There's a tiny little chance to mess things up by installing a 190 family mod in SFS archived format - IIRC claymore's 190 pack was such a beast, where classfiles settled together with other files in SFS archives in random order, with no filelist.txt given. Keep a safe distance to things like that.

Phew! Thanks Storebor, that was a bit of good news! Just reinstalling 4.3 is pretty much a walk in the park.

Will report back when I’ve done that 

[SAS~Poltava]

Reinstalled BAT 4.3. No such luck  The game crashes to desktop when the loading of the Ta-152 reaches 30%. As before.

I will see if I have an earlier install of BAT tucked away somewhere. And run that to see if the problem can be spotted there as well.


Update: Found an old install of BAT, version 2.0, and there the Ta-152 flies beautifully!

Update again: I used the fix for the "java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: printCompassHeading" found here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,63497.0.html
And installed it. And now the Ta-152's and the Fw-190D's etc flies without a hitch!
