#TGA - THE GOLDEN AGE:
The Golden Age began with the end of the First World War and the development of the first passenger aircraft. This was the period of record attempts and the great air races. Events like the Thompson Trophy and Schneider Trophy air races gave rise to the Gee Bee and the Supermarine S4.
Following WWI air power was widely employed in order to police the vast worldwide British Empire. This is the first time the Hawker Hind and Vickers Vilderbeest saw action. The British and Italians were the first to employ 'strategic bombing' which was used to contain and eliminate warlords in Afghanistan and Erritrea (Etheopia).
By the early 1930's Japan's air force greatly assisted its expansion into China and East Asia. Then in 1936 the Spanish Civil War touched off a confrontation between the new facist forces and an alliance of free volunteers and communists. In this crucible was forged a technological arms race that would ignite across the planet in the Second World War...

THEMED OPTIONS:
TGA is designed as the ideal backdrop for various historic scenarios. With switchable splashscreens the presentation can focus on any of the different aspects of the period: The Golden Age, the Sino-Chinese War, the Spanish Civil War etc. Right away TGA will be a natural home for much of Poltava's and Craken's SCW-Campaign work, many of my favourites!
(http://i.imgur.com/C7x3y00.jpg)
THE TGA CREATORS:
Thanks to SAS~Poltava for researching this project, especially the Spanish Civil War, over many years and assembling the definitive flightline for the period. Thanks also to RedEye_Jir for his work building UltraSpain, an invaluable reference, and so many of the original maps and mods used in the first place.
This C.U.P. Module builds on such work and takes it a lot further. SAS~Epervier, Mission_Bug and Stefan_G have provided many more 412 conversions and extra static aircraft for the new additions. The Golden Age features all of the early Bf109 variants from B1 to E4, and their static model counterparts, as well as many more aircraft of the period.
The Golden Age module plugs into the vast resource of all CUP maps and a massively upgraded object set enhanced with Wingflyer's improved meshes and even more vehicles added by Tomoose and Whitecat.
Thanks to DreamK and Gio963tto for building the majority of the aircraft of this period too. This set is a tribute to their astonishing collection of aircraft and helps to put many of them them into context. Browsing the FMB object window is an absolute delight!
The Golden Age module also comprises many of the more obscure Il2 mods. The Inter-War years aircraft are not so well known and a little off the beaten track. These mods were often produced with a great deal of collaboration over long periods of time and some are quite old. The main instigators and developers of these projects are: Beowulf, CWatson, Dreamk, Ectoflyer, Gio963tto, Paulus and Skipper. I hope you will all enjoy the unique 'flavour' of the period presented and the 'missing link' of CUP Modules. Module-05 is, chronologically speaking, actually Module 1B!

woowwww, great work!!! thanks a lot for your continued dedication to the sim and for providing us with all these wonderful updates!
now we only need some good campaigns to go along (hint ;) )
well need to compare TGA to my own Gathering Storm and see how I can merge them :)

the only problem I have noticed in my TGS is that certain two seaters do not shoot back at you (the gunners track you but dont open up on you) and some of the flight models seem to be too UFO-like;
I tried some carrier ops using these big Japanese biplane divebombers (the D1A) and had big trouble landing them on the Hosho for example;
they do not loose speed in the approach as they should and you literally have to fight them down onto the deck; also, their hooks seem to be way to small or too short; I am quite good in carrier landings but this combo got me sweating while trying to land....
(well, the same is true for the SB2C which also does not seem to loose speed as it should; you can even fight Japanese fighters with it and have some measure of success)
well, but back to the topic; great job, looking forward to trying this one out :)
Post by: SAS~Monty27 on August 11, 2015, 11:16:36 PM
Individually adding each piece would be inconvenient for most and impossible for many more. Without SFS compression the overall disc-size would also be many times larger. By working these packages we are able to tweak and fix most issues as they arise and keep it all together. Imagine the nightmare of a loose install with no backup, never again! ;D

For instance: Breguet 19, Do-17Z and Z2, Caproni Ca-133, Casa-352L, Fiat Cr-20, all Fiat Br-20 bombers, Fokker C.X Hispano and Pegasus, He-46 C1 and C2, Koolhoven Fk.51 both versions, all Potez versions, PWS-10, Grumman Delphin, Romeo Ro-37, all SM-81's, all Vultee's. In understand there are more planes in QMB not mentioned in the C.U.P manual V05, but these above are in the list.
Any sugestions?

After a pc restart all planes were there.... It must have been something I did, almost certain of that... :-[
Nevertheless, a beautiful Mod and with the Spanish maps.... a lot of opportunities!
Congratulations!

Do all of the planes you listed now load properly in the QMB?
Post by: SAS~Monty27 on August 12, 2015, 04:41:57 PM
I'm getting the issue too for several planes that are playing up again. Its a tiny fix, due to classfiles missing from the Part-04 Upload. TGA-Part-04 will be Updated ASAP. Its not a large file anyhow.
(http://i.imgur.com/HHuPf0h.jpg)
SFS Compression sometimes alters the load order and classfiles loose their priority. That's how testers can miss something that worked totally OK on a previous pass. That's why we have the !0000_Classfiles folder at the top of the mod order.
**********************************************************
The latest version of: C.U.P.- Module 05 - Golden Age Pt04.rar is 407Mb and contains a new readme headed:
REVISED UPDATED DOWNLOAD:V2
**********************************************************
TGA Part-04 Changelog
Some compressed classfiles re-instated so that all aircraft are present and correct in QMBPRO once more.
New TGA18.SFS fully fixes all 412 Aircraft upgrades.
DH89a Dragon Rapide - Removed from QMBPRO but still avaialable to campaign builders as an AI or Airstart.
Macchi MC72, 1931 - Removed from QMBPRO but still avaialable to campaign builders as an AI or Airstart.
Beautiful new Jero wheels for Grumman Delphin re-instated.
**********************************************************
If you see this you have the latest version. Install as before, last of all, drop it into your main Il2 directory and overwrite. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, most people do understand that this kind of compression and upload gets a little complicated at times. In this case we needed another pass and a few items were left behind in the hangar.
Never mind, its out, and its beautiful! ;D

I did not have the time to look at logs or do further testing, and before I could do that today, e voila, you have posted the fix already!Aha!

Did some test a few moments ago. The Koolhoven with Whirlwind engine has no sound in FMB. The Jaguar works perfectly...
Can something be done about it?
Jenato
Yes, this is more 412 conversion trouble. Many great new features were added by TD412; taxi to takeoff and skinnable statics being among the biggest breakthroughs. However, sweeping code changes left so many mods and effects high and dry we are still picking up the pieces!
Try this soundset - UnZIP/UnRAR to main IL2 Directory

Small problem with the Balearic Island Map in the TGA module.
Just off the coast, near the shore line, (in line with the airfield below the word Valencia on the map)
we have some hangers ,buildings ,refuelling tanks and air field landing mark (red and white).
Not sure how to remove these, they are quite visible when you take off and fly out towards the sea.
Not a major problem with the map just a little odd.

I spent about 3-5 minutes on each of the four downloads.
disabled everything in Jasgme.
installed the four modules into my root il2 CUP game.
installed the SASMME 13pt preview.
put back the Jsgme mods I normally use.
deleted my last quick.
set the thingie to Golden Age and started flying....
I did a re read of the brand new manual & downloaded and installed the Sound add on and now I am just flying
each aircraft in turn to try & find a few I like to fly. so far I like that Casa 352L 1939 tri engine. It is a very smooth flying and landing aircraft.
The Spain maps are a disappoint to me though..I have gone through most all of them and start on the "scramble" scenario" so I can take off and land,but the fields are just a flat color with no couture..
Its like taking off from a snow covered field in a white out.. or landing on a completely flat lake with no ripple action to give you some depth perception. once in the air the ground looks just normal.. its just close up while on the field.
Of course my old worn out eyes& needing a new glasses update don't help things either...ha ha
Anyway...I salute you all for making such an easy to setup system... ;D :) ;D

1. Although I have activated the level stabilizers for all mods (#CUP+Stabs4All), it doesn't function in TGA, although it works normally in all other eras.
2. Activating the "Japanese Version Switch" (#TGA_Ju38) makes no change in TGA. Presumably, this switches the install to the Sino-Japanese War, but all aircraft remain the same, i.e. there are no Japanese aircraft after switching.
Any thoughts would be great.
EDIT: One minor correction. The two Type 94 Japanese seaplanes are available.

Yes Marco
anything in JSGME prefixed #CUP must be turned off then turned on again after the install. This is to allow for those addons to take account of the extra module.

Post by: SAS~Monty27 on August 17, 2015, 07:14:50 AM
Having re-read the install instructions and followed them correctly this time, TGA runs well, except I cannot load the CUP channel map, all I get is a nice cloudy sky and some sea but nothing moves and there is no aircraft, anyone else encountered this?
I suspect you mean in QMBPRO which is a MISSION, not a MAP. The MISSION almost certainly uses aircraft not available in TGA therefore - no result. The map itself is fine in FMB.
The solution is to structure future QMBPRO MISSIONS for each specific Module and planeset. They would be prefixed JTW-Edwards, TGA-Channel etc etc. CUP prefixed QMBPRO MISSIONS will always be OK for #WAW since that era has the largest flightline and all of the default aircraft too. Specialist modules are always going to muck about with QMBPRO and are going to need specialist missions. The Map itself is fine...
So look out for more QMBPRO specifically for #TGA and #DOF. We have already started with #JTW too. ;D

What I did is opened the game in TGA, went to QMB, picked a plane and the channel map to just try the plane out, got the nice sky and sea but no plane. Changed plane, same thing. Changed map, worked fine. I don't know what QMBPRO is.Google is your friend:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=15002.0
These options are included in CUP, active through JSGME - QMBPRO, as opposed to QMB Vanilla. Its distinctly different.

I've found only one flaw: in the full mission builder, there are some items from the object window that don't appear. The most important one that I miss is the Command and Control menu. Animated objects and Ambient sounds are also missing.
I tried to copy the DOF folder including the Command and Control mod into the TGA folder, but it doesn't seem to work.
Anyone knows how to add these features into The Golden Age module?
EDIT
Finally I managed to make Command and Control working on TGA. I copied the Command and Control folder from DOF into TGA. But it is also necessary to make some changes on a stationary file.
1.- Copy the +0000_CY6_Command_and_Control_v3.031 folder from #DOF into #TGA
2.- Open #TGA > STD > com > maddox > il2 > objects
3.- Make a backup copy of stationary file in a safe place
4.- Open #DOF > STD > com > maddox > il2 > objects > stationary (file). At the end of the text there is a section named [Command_and_Control]. Copy all this section and paste at the end of the stationary file from the #TGA folders.
Now you have the same command and control option as in the DOF module.
I hope this will be included in the next TGA upgrade. Maybe more Command and Control commands could be added too.
Thank you

Yes we could use the DOF C&C layout, that can certainly be added. Although GCI is not required the DZ, Aimpoint, Arty, barrage, box and weather options are useful I agree.
Animated objects and sounds? - Yes we can do that too, all noted.
Next on my 'wishlist' for 'The Golden Age' is the conversion of all Poltava's SCW campaigns specifically to this module. We have all the planes required, actually many more too. Just think of the extras we can add, and the scenery! If Poltava has the time to do this; all well and good. If he is too busy with other things I'm sure plenty of us would be willing to help. ;D
Meanwhile; if any of you guys find mods that you think should be in TGA; please post the links where possible and provide a brief description and we shall get right on it and start testing. Remember; a lot of these early mods have been converted to 412 code for TGA. Frankly, its a bit of a 'black art' and we don't know what will happen until we start testing.
However, it was your suggestions that built CUP and continue to help it grow... ;D

regarding loose ends and probable errors...I noticed when I created my own between the wars years era module that several aircraft show rather fancy flight model behaviours like the heavy Japanese biplane torp bombers not slowing down much in turns or not slowing down properly when throttling back for a carrier landing...some gunners on certain planes tracking you but not shooting at you etc.
but I cannot comment if this has something to do with 4.12 or if it is other problems that cause this...only proper testing (for which I do not have time unfortunately) could show this....

I saw that you got the UltraSpain mod, but it´s incomplete, it´s short of planes, ships, and the maps are the old version...
Do you have intention to add the rest of the mod?

Vague, wooly, hint, no detail, no help to anyone.
The Golden Age features aircraft from the First World War up to and including the period of the Spanish Civil War. So yes, you might see some of the same aircraft! Do you have additional aircraft to suggest?
Do you have links, information, anything at all?
If you care to read up about CUP you will also learn that ALL CUP modules independantly resource the SAS Modular Map Expansion (SAS MME). Nothing to do with other modsets or separate maps. As far as I know its the largest and most complete map collection there is.
So are you referring to a specific map, comparison shots, resource list, static.INI?
What I am supposed to do now, try and tease out some meaning from your riddle?
I'm sure the regular flyers and campaign makers here will continue to build 'CUP-The Golden Age' the same way they have buiilt the other parts of CUP: through these forums, with positive feedback and concise information.
Be open and specific and we can help one another. Otherwise I can't be bothered with it.
In future this style of comment will be ignored (by me anyway).
Post by: spartan18a on December 11, 2015, 12:58:49 AM
The fact is that thanks to modders and CUP the Sim is alive or even more alive than ever before.
If a modder post a mod publicly in a forum, I guess it is because he wants the whole community to use it. If someone creates a pack with mods, should he ask for the modder's permission directly or just by mention it in the credits is more than enough? Honestly, I don't know how it works internally with the web social rules But, for God's sake! Let's all be positive and keep on working forwards to this great and ultimate Pack.
Everybody involved, Monty and his crew, SAS, M4T, modders, campaign creators, users, virtual squadrons, etc have my eternal and unconditional gratitude. Love you all guys!
PD. UltraSpain is amazing and joining all its content to CUP Module The Golden Age would make both packs stronger. Redeye and all other modders have made a superb job (the maps with personalized Spanish cities and its unique buildings and monuments) and I really hope it merges with CUP in time. No hurry at all.
or on the other hand maybe is just another case of "Lost in Translation"? ;)

Ultraspain is a very good specialist set for the Spanish Civil War. However, CUP has a much wider scope than that but The Golden Age does encompass the period covered by the Spanish Civil War and is designed to support campaigns written for that era.
Just out of interest then I recently checked out the air.INI from Ultraspain Extension 2. 90 Aircraft, all of which are also present in TGA, along with another 70 in TGA for a total of 160. I could find no 'missing' aircraft, but more aircraft content, as you would expect, in TGA. Most notably, four variants of early Stukas, the JuG38 and the early He111A/B/Es.
I am happy to help anyone on any project and am receptive to all sensible suggestions, but please be specific.
If our common goal is DGen and scripted campaigns and missions for this period we should be open and share resources and ideas. There are many people who prefer to focus on a particular area of interest but I don't see why we can't all help each other out.
The greatest strength of UltraSpain is its principle compiler and creator RedEye_Jir: A master modeller and map maker he has put together a set of real beauty and historic accuracy, creating many new mods in the process.
The Golden Age is similar in many ways but plugs into the wider resources of the entire CUP Project. We want to cover the entire era and CUP represents a continuous line of aviation development from the First World War to the present day. Could they both share resources and missions and ideas? I certainly hope so. That is what SAS is about after all! 8)
...I am a snappy bugger at times, yes that's true. But in a support/development forum it really is best to avoid the cryptic approach...

Don't feel foolish! We made a thing and enjoy sharing it, ask away! CUP is in parts because its big and it works that way.
These are the parts:
Module One - MAPS - The SAS Modular Map Expansion - Talks to all other parts and provides the maps. Downloads for Module One are called SASMME and affect all other modules.
Module Two - Dawn of Flight
Module Three - World at War
Module Four - The Jet Age
Module Five - The Golden Age was the fifth Module we made. However; chronologically speaking it is between Dawn of Flight and World at War, so its also known as Module 2B and appears between Dof and WaW in the selector, nice and neat... 8)

What does this mean, you are modding #TGA?
Provided you have all 17 SFS files it is VERY easy to replace the entire #TGA folder. In any case the latest #TGA update will do exactly this. Please be patient for a few more days and the latest #TGA update will provide a full backup/replacement #TGA folder.

No I do not mod anything, I use the TotalModder to shift between the different modules with 3 mouseclicks. CUP-DOF, CUP-WAW and CUP-JTW work flawlessly but CUP-TGA doesn´t load at all!...
Therefore you have a problem with TotalModder. This is a little misleading, since most people who just throw TGA into their main Il2 install don't create problems for themselves. I suspect your problem lies with the selector.ini. TGA introduces a new group not just a new mod folder. Whatever, the TGA content is complete and I don't use TotalModder because CUP has everything I need.
It strikes me as much simpler to run a clean CUP install and a separate install for online, or other interests. CUP is a deliberately simple drop-in install. Why complicate it?
This is only my opinion, of course, but those who have problems using TotalModder should really be posting on the TotalModder thread and not needlessly confusing us simpletons who just like to play offline 412 CUP with one selector.
I just really love this mod, it's so....quirky, it has so many possibilities, besides the Spanish Civil War I mean, I think it is just crying out to have a Tin Tin mod, unfortunately I am too old fat and damn ugly to be able to even know where to start in doing such a mod, so I will just throw the idea out there....I look forward to someone running with it ( if they ever do that is ) as it would be fun.
I agree Trotski, we are also at a stage, with the other parts of CUP, where we are able to add more vehicles, ships, functions and polish up more items. Soon TGA will also benefit from recent re-fits.
People often forget, and I often remind them, that with CUP we started again with a 412 version Il2. If anyone wants to know what the 'standard' contents are in 412 simply switch to Stock Game on your selector and go take a look...there goes the tumbleweed...it looks worse too...
So everything has to be added fresh and TGA, with its plethora of really old mods, made for the biggest challenge because none of it should really work at all! The structure of CUP helps to isolate each era and focus on the setup required for the content. Lately more and more modders are making things with 412 in mind.
Still, talk is cheap: - Ugly is irrelevant and fat or old don't matter a damn if you can type into word or notepad. Therefore, I advise starting a little research, collect some impressions and ideas into a folder and then write them out. In the process more ideas and structure will clarify and, when you have a decent draft, either get into FMB and make it real, or pass on your material to someone who can. 8)

http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=4420
I'm not entirely certain, but this may have been the first mission set I produced for M4T. At any rate, I used Letovs in hack skins to represent B4Y1s, and I'm going to try to alter the mission, to replace the Letovs with the "real" B4Y1 in CUP. In addition, I'll be trying to add versions with the Claude and Jean, respectively, as player aircraft.
A more appropriate map might be better as well. I'll need to review the options.
The missions as they are, in the original 4.12.2 versions, can be flown using the stock version option in CUP, and I'm hoping that some SAS members, especially the CUP crew, might like to try them out. This may give you an idea of why I've suggested, in more appropriate threads, the addition of certain IJN and IJA "China Incident" types to TGA. ;)

Maybe because I have also installed #CUP_removesound option (or something like that, I forget the name of the option)?
Many thanks for your help.
Ciao!

Its gonna be good Marco!
Some of us have been taking an in-depth look at Poltava's excellent SCW Campaigns. They will be upgraded and enhanced as only TGA can (C&C 412, CUP Special Effects, Taxiing AI, Skinnable Statics, Revetment Starts) and should accompany the next big TGA upgrade. The TGA soundset definitely matches WAW now, and those great roaring engines and atmospheric flybys are quite something with the SCW aircraft! 8)
