Sounds like you're using other mods on top which are not on 4.12 standards.
I'm frequently using Hurris and Mossies online and can't confirm either of the reported bugs.

And that's apparently what causes the issues. Believe it or not, Modact 5.2x doesn't have that bug, it's the mods you've put on top.

On that note, please let me announce a new Modact Patch version 5.22 which is available here:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,36163.msg396276.html#msg396276

This patch mainly addresses a bug where due to a renamed air.ini entry for the Hawk 75 these planes were not available in online gameplay anymore.

Hi all:

I'm very slowly trying to get everything from DBW 1.71 over into this new version and ModAct.

I've successfuly brought all the maps and objects over - that was the first order of business. Now I'm working on bringing the rest over.

DBW came with a whole pile of aircraft, ships, and vehicles that were in the SFS files (I'm assuming as there were no folders for them in the #DBW folder).

I brought over all the SFS files from DBW with the exception of:

A/ Any that only had 26KB (I believe these were placeholders)
B/ The dbw_decals_xx (2 files)
C/ Any of the sasup_fbdsm_xx files

I'm working the planes first and have tried to add the planes that are "stock" in DBW but are missing in 4.12.1 ModAct 5.21. It seems I can't just add them in the air.ini file. Does this mean I have to download and install all these planes? Are there files in the DBW XTD folder that are needed?

Will I have to do the same thing for the ships, armour, and vehicles?

Thanks for any tips on this.

Am I reading the instructions correctly, that MODACT 5.22  will install right over my existing 4.12.1 MODACT 5.2x without starting from a clean install?

[SAS~Storebror]

Yes that's right. Modact patches are cumulative patches. You can install Modact 5.22 on top of any Modact 5.2x base installation.

You won't succeed that way since all classfiles for aircraft, ships, armour, vehicles of DBW are in the XTD folder and many of these classes are incompatible with 4.12.1 (some have to be changed, others just would need to be recompiled, either way they likely don't work just as they are).

Hi Mike:

So, in a nutshell, I just have to knuckle down and install each and every plane, ship, vehicle etc, by hand.

Thanks for the info. I'm now knuckling.

Hi
Admins can check the correct entry in air.ini for BF110-C4 and Blenheim? Because some maps server BF1 can not see them while they are there. Some of them are flying there.
I think it is the same problem as Hawk-75.

And, unfortunately, the fix for bug "on-line exhaust bug" does not work, I can still see the smoke BF109

thank

After installing Modact Patch version 5.22, I found that all of my installed mod airplanes disappeared from my 'air.ini-file'. Is this how it is supposed to be and did any one else have the same experience? I also found that the P-61 mod now works perfect: before this patch I could not aim the turret guns and they fired as weapon#2 - now I have full fire and turret controll with the mouse after pressing "c".

Raecher there is a warning to that effect above the links. It tells you if you have manually installed aircraft you should back up your air.ini file and re add them after installing the MODACT.

...and another one right in the installation window. Maybe I should send along a postcard telling it in colorful letters

the P-61 mod now works perfect: before this patch I could not aim the turret guns and they fired as weapon#2 - now I have full fire and turret controll with the mouse after pressing "c".

Would it make a difference if I'd say that nothing was touched but the air.ini and a cosmetic change in the Console Render class?

Best regards - Mike

[RAECHER]

Well, yes... reading the mentioned warning would have helped. (It was not a big issue just adding the few lines for all the planes in the air.ini - hope this was of use to someone else)

Anyway, Storebror, thanks for the patch and whatever happened the P-61 is better now!
