A 70%CTD  is almost always some difference between aircraft added & STD not matching.This would be a little strange with this DBW utility as the aircraft & STD are 'pre-packed" in install.

I only unzipped the files #1 & #2 unzipped those and added the new folder to main game folder.
Nothing else added.

Gunny-Ok I think I've got this solved ( maybe...) First delete whatever DBW 1916 folder you have in your main game folder or at least as the instructions say rename so it will no longer work. ...then place all 3 of the new DBW1916 downloads in one folder.Right click on & do an extract files here command.That should get you the three folders of DBW1916,Missions & Paintschemes in a "new " folder.Then unzip the third patch folder & place those new DBW1916,Missions,& paintschemes into the recently created DBW1916 folder.So now within this folder you should have the completely modified folders ( again DBW1916,Missions& Paintschemes.)Take these & put them into your main game folder,overwriting when asked(probably the Missions & Paintschemes folders.If all goes well ( fingers crossed ,Mojo working) you should be good.I've tried several variations today to get this up & working & so far ( touch wood) this has worked.I hope it does for you too!

When I look at my wing from cockpit view, the Struts do  show up properly.I mean where they connect to the lower wing section,the strut is not there,only the bit 2/3rds down from the upper wing is visible.The bracing wires are not looking correct also from inside looking out of the cockpit.This happens with The Sopwith Camel .The Sopwith Snipe is really bad from Cockpit view, every part of the wing is out of alignment.

this is a thread for bugs, not for criticizing cockpits
please understand that many wwI planes are unfinished.

I am so sorry for not realising that mate.I never actually criticized anyones cockpit.So I dont really undrstand what you mean.If everyone is getting this then fine ,just never saw it mentioned before.

Gunny - one question- does regular DBW work ok when you switch over to it? I still think you have an STD problem somewhere..
There is really good advice here:

Ok I have re-down loaded 7 zip x 64.
What I have found in testing and trying to unzip is that part #2 is not being opened.
Across the  top of 7 zip is shows files being unzipped. 
Part 2 never shows.
Thanks I have sent much time reading about 70% CTD.
Still left in the dark as to the problem.

Yes DBW works, UP works,Stock game works. Only DBW_1916 is a show stopper.

I wish part two was like part three a patch.

Gunny,

My 7 zip only shows part one being unzipped too, but it does unzip part 2 also. It should show 1171 mb after unzipping. Install the folders as per the instructions, then install the unzipped patch1. Make sure that you have a fresh download of patch1. VPmedia updates that one often. Good luck!

After doing more testing late last night I found that.
You can not open part 1 by its self. So I must be getting it.
The thing is after I up zip all the parts I have as follows.

Missing  files  2746 total
Missing  folders  135 total
compared mine to the one WW Happy posted for me.

So some thing is not working.

Reloaded every thing this AM and it WORKS.
I dont have a clue as to what I did .

Everytime you install a large quantity of new material into your hardrive, make sure to
do a re-start of your computer. Wait until your pc reads all the information properly., takes about 2 minutes
if not less.
Open your selector (it should be on a short-cut icon placed on your main screen) and choose your game,
 select always 512 MB memory, start the game and your flying.

Always re-start your pc when you install big packages

Thanks Max i did all of that before also.
Thanks for all the outstanding skins Max they make the game come to life.
This last down load worked.
