Sounds a bit complicated...but I will give it a try. Thanks so very much. Will I just see the screen shot or will I be able to fly off the carrier?

Just click FMB/File/Load/Single Mission/.mis/Open/File/Play

[BravoFxTrt]

And if you want to change planes, you can do it in FMB or In Mission Briefing view Window

Its so easy just give it a try until you get it right, what else you got to do, lol...

ignore the last post hit the wrong button my cat was being a pest

...you mean it was being a cat!  I am slave to 3 of the little buggers yet still see it as a privilege, that's how they trick us. 

@ Bravo, great shots of the Oriskany.  I'm looking forward to DBW 1.8, and one area where TFM has helped that process is in exploring some of the 'staples' we may want to keep.

@ Chupag, glad its good for you, you were really helpful in this thread and I knew if Monty-20 was OK you would confirm that.

Yes I confirm now all the packages work fine. Thank you for the tremendous work that you have done. So keep

For some reason, none of the Essex angled deck carriers in my install have working catapults. And yet I presume that DBW 1.71 has the necessary latest version of the CTO take off mod  and TFM the required patch for the newer planes (Phantom, etc.) to use them.

Can anybody help me on this?

Is the date in the mission set later then 1950?

My problem is not lack of catapult boost.

The problem is - on these carriers, the catapults don't work at all.

Mission date is set at 1960 - still no catapult

Well, I installed all the packs - except #7 - as per the manual. Ran a quick mission or two after each pack was installed just to check if any problems. Everything went according to plan, no conflicts, crashes or other strange behaviour.

Fantastic I thought. After hours of installation fun ( ) I'm off to enjoy this new cornucopia of mod madness that Monty has brilliantly made available to us all. I should have known better - been playing this game long enough to know there is always an unexpected glitch just lurking around the corner! In this case playability.

My av frame rate compared to my modded DBW1.71 with eye candy and WindWpn packs installed dropped from 60fps to 14fps for a modest three plane  mission on the Normandy map. What the...!
Conf.ini, IL2 Selector, NVIDIA control panel the same for both installations. Both have il2fb.exe patched to access 4GB RAM. I'm as flummoxed as Ricky Ponting facing Dale Steyn! (my apologies to non Australian and South African readers for the analogy).

I guess I will now have to go through the painstaking process to see which mod/s are causing the performance issue. Given the time involved in uninstalling/reinstalling using JSGME, I might try my hand at setting up a new installation using Total MODder.

And all I wanted to do was play Montys Ace of Spades and Flying Tigers special editions!

In spite of my problems, congratulations Monty on a fantastic job in compiling and supporting these amazing mod packs.

Go back a few pages and see on how I did it and I do not use jsmge. My frame rate is great and those two campaigns you want to fly are great just watch the groud pounding it comes up fast.

Do you use the 1.71_Gurner FX? if yes, it is normal I have fps droop too
