hi Radge, thanks for your reply, mate.
what still concerns me, is that if i just delete the ones that are 'similar' to the ones you ask me to delete, and leave the rest, what i am then left with will be some entries referring to this:

com.maddox.il2.objects.vehicles.tanks.NewArmorPackTank$T34_100_LB1

and some others remaining will still be referring to this:

com.maddox.il2.objects.vehicles.tanks.RadgeArmor2Tank$T34_100_LB1

that is why i say it will crash at 70%.
this is all my fault because i was absent from the forums for several months last year, and so i missed some updates inbetween.
don't worry, though - i figure the best thing for me to do now is to remove ALL entries completely from the previous pack, and then add all the entries from the 'Ini_new_only' folder....? 

[SAS~Malone]

okay, i'm now trying to remove all entries for the previous packs, in order to have a clean start.
even just finding the right files to delete has been complicated by the fact that i'm trying to delete files that were added over several updates, and obviously i've missed something.
if things could possibly be more complicated, i didn't add the earlier entries all in the same place, but moved them around in my ini files, so that similar tanks were grouped together. trying to undo this without f*cking it up is an absolute nightmare, lol
so, the first of what i'm sure will be multiple 70% ctd's is the following:

PlMisChief: section 'Armor.1-ISU130' not found
[6:41:37 AM]   java.lang.RuntimeException: PlMisChief: section 'Armor.1-ISU130' not found

[SAS~Malone]

next 70% ctd is 'PlMisChief: section 'Armor.1-Aufkl_Panther' not found

[SAS~Malone]

seems i got off lightly there, the third attempt was the charm.
at least now it's loading, so hopefully all i need to do now is add the entries for the 5.1 pack.
i know it's obvious, but as things are going, i thought i'd better confirm first - at this point, is it correct that i add the new entries from the 'Ini_all' folder?

[SAS~Malone]

the reason i sometimes like to give running commentary on my problems, is that i have long since discovered that i can spend hours trying to figure something out by myself without success, but guaranteed, the moment i post about it, i figure the problem out almost immediately, before anyone even offers a solution.
so, the quickest way for me to solve my problems is just to post them up in the forum, and i'll solve them right away.
lol
Murphy's law taken to the next level

and just to reaffirm my theory of 'the more i post, the quicker i solve it myself', the new armor pack is now up and running - all working good - thanks Radge!

Hi Radge, the tanks all look great - i just have one question concerning the Churchill thank - in my install, it seems to have an incorrect transparent section on both sides, near the front, on the side armor - is this a problem, or is it meant to be that way?
either way, it's a small problem in a great mod, so i won't lose any sleep over it

Hi again

and just to reaffirm my theory of 'the more i post, the quicker i solve it myself', the new armor pack is now up and running - all working good - thanks Radge!

Quite interesting that you post and solve your problems with install by your posts youself
I name such kind of men an all-sufficient people (in joke, of course)

the tanks all look great - i just have one question concerning the Churchill thank - in my install, it seems to have an incorrect transparent section on both sides, near the front, on the side armor - is this a problem, or is it meant to be that way?
either way, it's a small problem in a great mod, so i won't lose any sleep over it

Can you, please, post a screen of such a thing? I don't remember it to be...

[SAS~Malone]

sure thing, here's a pic



maybe it's supposed to look like this, although it doesn't in any pictures i've seen.
either way, it's not a big problem, it just looks a little odd from some angles.
if you're happy with it like that, then so am i

Dude, It might be a Bug or Something.

[SAS~Malone]

KT, that's why i'm asking.... Dude 
i've seen one or two pics of a Churchill with something that looks a little like a slot in that position, so maybe it's accurate - although most of the pics i've seen show it as solid.
so, my whole reason for asking about it is to see if it's a bug or an accurate representation...
certainly, for a tank, it looks like a 'weak spot' if it is meant to be that way, so i have my doubts....
