A question?
How do you go about building on-line dogfight  missions?
I have tried a few times and always the same.
The home bases show plus the objects.
When you get to the map and arming screen I can't select a base.
I have used the WW-1 maps plus also tried the smaller on-line maps.
On-line co-ops work.
Is there a trick I'm missing?

Hi, I too have the 70 percent issue. I can confirm the installation works without the 2.7 patch. When I go to do the 2.7 patch, it screws it up. So its something with that patch. Any fix/

Sorry but probably nobody knows the answer to this including me.
DBW is an offline modpack so most people not even tried to play it online.
I'd give it a try later if all FM's problems are sorted out because I'm interested.

Nobody else reported a 70% crash so I'm not sure what the problem is.
The air.ini added by that patch looks ok to me.

I also had the 70% CTD.
After 12 to 16 down loads it worked.
So there may be some thing wrong with the down loads.

I build my missions for dog fight on-line so I dont have to end when killed.
I stage the planes to start at say every 20 mins. This way the game can run for hours
with out stopping.
Click re-fly and off we go.

Thx a lot at WWHappy from me too! I thought I had everything installed and so wondered why my "1916" - folder had only 15,3 MB but did not look at it cos playing WW 2 stuff at this point. Now it's 2,3 GB and I should be glad to also try the awesome birds of WW1 which are actually even more historical if u look from the technical side. Thx again to all who make this possible and made me realize I did not have the mod at all (dunno why but whatever) -  U guys are awesome!

I've installed DBW-1916 11.16 and used the selector to specify DBW-1916. When I attempt to start DBW-1916, I get the old IL-2 Forgotten Battles / Pacific Fighters splash screen from 2006 which shows the P-51 and F4U in the foreground. Then the game shuts down without an error message. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Cheers,

Iirc it happens when you got no #DBW_1916 in gameroot.

vpmedia,

I think the root cause of my problem is "step 1" in the in following instructions:

 INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

step 1. delete your existing '#DBW_1916' folder
step 2. extract the archives into your game folder

Cheers,

Gentlemen,

Finally got to this after making 9 versions of DBW1.71 WWII ('38-'46).  Got this up and running...but my AI don't seem to want to take off.  They start their engines...and idle...idle.

Anyone seen this before?

Cheers

When I load the Airco DH 2 to fly as a player it starts out as vibrating very badly and sometimes blows up in mid air. Then settles down if it doesn't blow up. Also in the player cockpit view , the sound is very low volume for all planes Ive flown so far, the snipe, Camel Nieuports, Se5a
