I would say we could need some more ships early carriers would be highly welcome like the Japanese Hosho; of course the new B-10 would be great to have and I think a few more aircraft are also missing...

regarding loose ends and probable errors...I noticed when I created my own between the wars years era module that several aircraft show rather fancy flight model behaviours like the heavy Japanese biplane torp bombers not slowing down much in turns or not slowing down properly when throttling back for a carrier landing...some gunners on certain planes tracking you but not shooting at you etc.
but I cannot comment if this has something to do with 4.12 or if it is other problems that cause this...only proper testing (for which I do not have time unfortunately) could show this....

Next on my 'wishlist' for 'The Golden Age' is the conversion of all Poltava's SCW campaigns specifically to this module.  We have all the planes required, actually many more too.  Just think of the extras we can add, and the scenery!  If Poltava has the time to do this; all well and good.  If he is too busy with other things I'm sure plenty of us would be willing to help. 

Monty, when I get my new rig I can get CUP running, and then I will start converting SCW campaigns - rest assured! 

Thanks for your great effort!

That's great news my friend, thank you!  I'm currently full steam ahead with a number of navy jet campaigns and still got WWI to finish too.  You will have a lot of fun with 412 FMB I'm sure...

Oh my God!  This keeps getting better and better.

Really looking forward to that, Poltava. :-) Many thanks!!

Hi.

I saw that you got the UltraSpain mod, but it´s incomplete, it´s short of planes, ships, and the maps are the old version...

Do you have intention to add the rest of the mod?

Regards

Vague, wooly, hint, no detail, no help to anyone.

The Golden Age features aircraft from the First World War up to and including the period of the Spanish Civil War.  So yes, you might see some of the same aircraft!  Do you have additional aircraft to suggest? 

Do you have links, information, anything at all?

If you care to read up about CUP you will also learn that ALL CUP modules independantly resource the SAS Modular Map Expansion (SAS MME).  Nothing to do with other modsets or separate maps.  As far as I know its the largest and most complete map collection there is.

So are you referring to a specific map, comparison shots, resource list, static.INI?

What I am supposed to do now, try and tease out some meaning from your riddle?

I'm sure the regular flyers and campaign makers here will continue to build 'CUP-The Golden Age' the same way they have buiilt the other parts of CUP: through these forums, with positive feedback and concise information.

Be open and specific and we can help one another.  Otherwise I can't be bothered with it.

In future this style of comment will be ignored (by me anyway).

In my humble opinion I think CUP is the best thing that has happened to IL2 since its release. It's not easy to unify the widely disperse mods and modders and create a common goal as others did before with Ultra Pack, HSFX or UltraSpain. In Monty's manual he has pages and pages thanking and giving credit to the modders for their amazing job.

The fact is that thanks to modders and CUP the Sim is alive or even more alive than ever before.

If a modder post a mod publicly in a forum, I guess it is because he wants the whole community to use it. If someone creates a pack with mods, should he ask for the modder's permission directly or just by mention it in the credits is more than enough? Honestly, I don't know how it works internally with the web social rules  But, for God's sake! Let's all be positive and keep on working forwards to this great and ultimate Pack.

Everybody involved, Monty and his crew, SAS, M4T, modders, campaign creators, users, virtual squadrons, etc have my eternal and unconditional gratitude. Love you all guys!

PD. UltraSpain is amazing and joining all its content to CUP Module The Golden Age would make both packs stronger. Redeye and all other modders have made a superb job (the maps with personalized Spanish cities and its unique buildings and monuments) and I really hope it merges with CUP in time. No hurry at all.

or on the other hand maybe is just another case of "Lost in Translation"?

Great answer for a simple and inofensive question....

Well, as I suspected it´s just a misunderstanding of implicit and explicit information and reading between the lines, a clear case of Lost in Translation.  uf! What a relieve!  The whole issue is just pushed under the rug.

Ultraspain is a very good specialist set for the Spanish Civil War.  However, CUP has a much wider scope than that but The Golden Age does encompass the period covered by the Spanish Civil War and is designed to support campaigns written for that era.

Just out of interest then I recently checked out the air.INI from Ultraspain Extension 2.  90 Aircraft, all of which are also present in TGA, along with another 70 in TGA for a total of 160.  I could find no 'missing' aircraft, but more aircraft content, as you would expect, in TGA.  Most notably, four variants of early Stukas, the JuG38 and the early He111A/B/Es.

I am happy to help anyone on any project and am receptive to all sensible suggestions, but please be specific.

If our common goal is DGen and scripted campaigns and missions for this period we should be open and share resources and ideas.  There are many people who prefer to focus on a particular area of interest but I don't see why we can't all help each other out.

The greatest strength of UltraSpain is its principle compiler and creator RedEye_Jir: A master modeller and map maker he has put together a set of real beauty and historic accuracy, creating many new mods in the process.

The Golden Age is similar in many ways but plugs into the wider resources of the entire CUP Project.  We want to cover the entire era and CUP represents a continuous line of aviation development from the First World War to the present day.  Could they both share resources and missions and ideas?  I certainly hope so.  That is what SAS is about after all! 


...I am a snappy bugger at times, yes that's true.  But in a support/development forum it really is best to avoid the cryptic approach...

Sorry to be a pain especially this close to Christmas , but am updating my CUP files and have successfully done all modules except number 05 [+5B ?] for TGA as I can't find the download link - only one for the manual . Have waited a few days to see if anyone else noticed but can't find any note . The link seems to have been not transferred when the old threads were re-organised to the new layout . 
Does anyone please have this link  ? I will be very grateful for your help.
Many , many grateful thanks to all involved in the CUP and earlier projects that continue to transform so many aspects of this game .
Kind regards , best wishes  and a merry christmas and a happy new year to all - Trev
