Im just thinking out loud, but I think its a TD bug, Please some one state other wise.

I think its a TD bug

I second that.
We've had the same thing on Modact 5.1 and IL-2 4.12m already, back in those days Pete reported a similar bug just to find that the other day it didn't happen in the same manner anymore.
All I can say for Modact is that we didn't touch a single bit of code which could deal with this, so whatever bugs you encounter with AI behaviour, new Taxi to takeoff feature or the like, it just can't be Modact since it doesn't touch the regarding code.

Because the stock 4.12.1 doesn't have this problem, there must be "something" in Modact 5.2 that causes the AI to act crazy, when you use Taxi to takeoff.
The hard part is finding out what this "something" is.

That's what Pete thought as well.
Believe it or not, there's really nothing in Modact 5 which even scratches AI behaviour from distance.

I love the new changing splash screens, BUT , I would also like to be able to use some of my own, is the a way I can do this ?I couldn't find where the things are hiding    I also like to add little touches to the splash screens I already have like having a scantly clad witchy poo sitting on a spitty's wing , stuff like that. can anyone point me in the right directing to these wee beasties please ? I would be very appreciative of this.

I have been looing for help in other posts, but when I change/add in all ini, the game ctd's and I have to go back and re do the vanilla install again. doh !.) TTFN

BUT , I would also like to be able to use some of my own, is the a way I can do this ?

go here to the end of the post #248:

here is a pic how I did it:

And I'm trying to understand too: what exactly are .mat files? Do I simply copy a mat file that I see in, say, the single missions folder and make 15 copies of these .mat files, then make 15 of my own tgas to place in the #sas\splashscreens\gui folder?

I opened it up in notepad and I see that it is a text file that specifies properties for the background tgas, but am unsure what those lines mean...

thanks

Detailed instructions on how to replace the Splash Screens are given in the Changelog, Hints, Known Bugs etc. for SAS Modact 5.2x post on page 1.

Gerax, what are the sizes of your .tgas?

in my case with an old 4:3 screen: size 1280x960 with 3.601kb each. 

I opened it up in notepad and I see that it is a text file that specifies properties for the background tgas, but am unsure what those lines mean...

important is that you have the correct name in the line "TextureName":

in my case I have in the mat files in the line
  TextureName backgroundXX.tga
where XX (0-14) correspondends with the number the mat and the tga file has.

but of course you can choose other user-defined names for the tgas
if you want. Read through what Mike wrote about.

Thanks for the info & links guys.

Hi people, I have a big problem that's really starting to get on my nerves..I have my 1946 patched up to V412.1 with SAS Modact 5.20, now I went through all of this to fly the Mig & Sabre jets that I assumed were INSIDE the 5.20 Modact.
The game fires up with a Sabre onscreen taking off from a carrier and the graphics and gameplay are amazing...but there aren't any jets in it apart from the basic 'Stock' one's you get with the original disc, so can anyone tell me where they are please?
I just can't find them or am I 'wrongly' assuming their there at all..I know my ass is dumb..but I'm pretty sure I ain't no dumbass!! I really need some expert help on this one guys, I'd really appreciate it..
