@Wateratty: I'm not a moderator but please stay on topic and let's not start discussions about who was the most cruel person in world history or any other political discussion.
Nice painting of Ferdinand VII by the way. Definately a Goya.

hi Agracier, playing these last days with this map before starting a SCW campaign and noticed (it happens only here, no other map gives me this strange problem....) everytime I start a flight from Marbella airfield I get most of the times freezes.
On the field before taking off as I look around can it happen, before landing as I approach the airfield at 500/1000 metres QFE also; as stationary I put there only four SM79 so I´sure this problem has something to do with objects. Only thing I find different in this airfield are the "darker than normal" textures of the airfield grass itself, other I could not say...
Any tipp welcome!
Best regards, Gianluca

PS: when the game freezes, usually to get out of this situation, changing the view is enough maybe insisting on the keyboards commands.

[agracier]

If I'm not mistaken someone once found this solution for the map freezing.  I believe that the original load.ini has sk_highways in use. You should make sure that the load.ini has the following Roads:

[ROADS]
Rail     = land/summer/Rail
Road     = land/summer/Road
Highway  = land/summer/Highway

thks Ag, I´ll try tomorrow night and let you know!

edit: it works!!!!!!!

hi Agracier, sorry if this could not be maybe the best place for my question but the the problem I'm having with one of your maps has maybe something to do with something similar (my prevoius post).
These last days I'm playing (or better, trying to play...) on your Cartagena map; now, it does not matter if the old or the new version 2.0, after a while, let's say some minutes of dogfighting (QMB, mostly on the sea) the game fps drop to almost none and I have to quit the mission.
I tried everything, every available setting and my rig is quite powerful with a Nvidia GTX 560 Ti as graphic card so I hardly think this problem could be related to my hardware: any tipp would be very appreciated indeed!
Thks in advance and best regards,
Gianluca.

I used to have my water settings quite high, 5 or 4 I think, and over sea or around the coastline, that did indeed cause problems with the frame rates for me too. And that on all maps by the way, not just this one.

I now use water=3 which gives less detail on the water, but really helps on the frame rates.

[gianluca]

Hi Ag and thks! Will try

[gianluca]

hi Ag, the problem was not the map nor the water but my track-ir: after having deleted the previous installed versio and reinstalled the latest one the troubles were gone.....

[spartan18a]

Please, how and where do I have to install it in all the foldres we have????
Help 

[agracier]

Which version of the game do you have? UP3 ? DBW? Normally this map is standard in both of these versions.

In any case, the newer versions have either a folder called #SAS or #DBW. In both of these there are subfolders called MAPMODS

place the map folder itself in MAPMODS/maps/ag_Andalucia

and the accompanying textures folder in MAPMODS/maps/_Tex/

and add the line of text that is with the install files to your all.ini file.

The all.ini file is located here : #DBW/MAPMODS/maps/all.ini

[spartan18a]

Something is wrong:
I'll explain what I did:
1. Download and place the files in the #DBW/MapMods/Maps
2. copy and paste the line in the all.ini
3. select the DBW and start the il2

At this point the DBW mod loads and I select the Nation Spanish Nationalist and the Malaga Campaign.
Problems the briefing and map are empty and nothing can be read or seen.
Then, the campaign loads until when it's about to start the screen freezes and that's all I get.
Finally, I have to close the Il-2 in the Ctrl+alt+del mode

why is it wrong?

[agracier]

I could not really say what is wrong. Have you tried simply flying a mission you made on your own? Just to see if it will work?
