You can play poltava's campaign Battle for Madrid for example. It works perfectly on me, plus it's a great campaign!
Sure it is, but you'll need a good bunch of skins to play it properly. BTW, I think that's one of the improvements that could be done to this great Ultraspain: a good updated SCW skinpack.
I gathered all that I had in my folders and made a skinpack of it. I wanted to include skins not only for the aircraft in the Ultraspain list, but also all the hacks that have been used for many years in the case you still wanted to have them (after all, several of those planes were actually purchased but never reached Spain, such as B-534, Fokker G-1, or R-10), but the compressed file was still too heavy and I decided to eliminate them. I had to be a little selective with the rest and deleted many very similar skins or those with a very doubtful quality, sorry. You can find downloads of these old hacks in M4T and other sites, anyway.
Skins and templates were made by Imme, Metatron, Tchaika, Phasmid, Manowar, Xanty, Jutocsa, Tuckie, Falskter, Nachprod, Harpia Mafra, PA-Asis, Snorri Bradhawk, Friction, Highlander, Dr. Jones, 1-thirteen, Nightsifter, Caldrail, HK, The Fly, Bird Brain, Agracier, Mission Bug, Archie1971, Hayate, Juanmalapuente and probably many others that I forget or cannot identify (sorry for the omission).
There're also skins for those planes that should be included in Ultraspain because they really participated in SCW and we already have them in game: Trimotor, DH-89, UTI-4, Savoia Marchetti S-55m and Li-2 / L2D, that can still stand for the Douglas DC-2 and DC-1 while we have something else.
Some of these added planes were already in Redeye's air ini list, but inactivated by //. I activated them, eliminating the double slash and adding the correspondant folders to #UP#. I did it also for Avia B.122 that can work as a hack for Spad-510 and for Bucker Bu-133.
There're other planes included in Ultraspain, such as Arado Ar-196 which are not really necessary even as a hack for Ar-98. There're better options, for instance floatplane versions for Gladiator or for Swordfish made by Beowolf.
Take into account that it's a big download: about 200 MB
https://www.mediafire.com/?nujdchtlowjyd3wAnother customization that I made is to order air.ini alphabetically, since the original list is a little chaotic if not ordered by countries or sides.
I paste my air ini here, if someone want to copy and overwrite his/her. Of course, to make a backup of the original one is always a good idea.
Planes added or activated are highlighted in red, so you can be sure that you have them in UP folder (Li-2 or L2D are already in UP, you don't need to add anything) otherwise, you'll have to delete or inactivate them with //, before using this air.ini, to avoid CTD.

There is also a small detail that have to be corrected, but I don't know in which file is it. In the QMB menu, R-5 rasante appears as a duplicated R-Z natacha, fortunatelly is only the name, the plane is OK (rasante is the one without gunner glass windshield).
Another detail that I have in my install is this: when you choose red side, the only country available is USSR and in blue side, Germany and Italy, no Republicans or Nationalists?? ???
About the maps. New NE Spain is great, but I don't believe it replaces the previous Balearic Islands and Aragon maps. May be Ebro-38, that had huge rescap problems. The new versions of Balearic Islands, improved by Mission Bug and Agracier's Aragon new textures are far more detailed and are still useful. You just have to look to the amazing trench and positions network that Agracier created around Montearagon, Estrecho Quinto and other historical places around Huesca which he visited in person.
I don't know if NE Spain map is less detailed because it is a large map that could be too heavy for fps if more densely populated. In that case, smaller maps are still necessary, since they give you a much more enjoyable level of detail, useful in missions and campaigns making. For instance, I'm working in missions and campaigns for Aragonesse front. In the new map there are almost none of the historically important villages around Huesca or the main ones for the Battle of Belchite. It's not only a question of decoration, those villages and towns were bombing and straffing targets for aircraft.
For the Baleares, Ibiza and all the smaller Islands are missing, as is a not small portion of Valencia.
May be, a good thing would be to really merge all these works in one, but by now, I added those older maps in the maps folder inside STD, added the all.ini lines and everything's working. The same could be done with Cartagena map, despite that wasn't a very active area in SCW, but was important as school, training and coastal defence.
I think that we don't need to renounce to all these good works. The more Spain maps we have to choose, the better.
For the vehicles and armor in FMB, I think Nationalist captured T-26, CV-35 and Renault Ft-17 tanks should be added, since they are already in game.
For the rest of the aspects, Ultraspain is still a very attractive option, especially to use Zuti's MDS mod that can't work in DBW.
I haven't installed it in DBW, since I don't want to overload my game. I prefer to have separate installs, in the case of messing one of them, you always have the other one intact.
