I know this has been raised in the Downloads threads and I know Monty responded by posting a screenshot of birds in flight but...

I too am unable to place the birds or geese animated objects (very nice effects) on maps in BAT WAW. I can place the objects on maps when TGA, JTW or DOF are selected, but not WAW. When I port a CUP mission which contain these objects to BAT WAW, they disappear from the map. This effects all maps I've tried in BAT WAW.

Both objects are listed in the #WAW2 stationary.ini under [Aninmated_Items].So I'm at a loss to figure this one out.

Any insight would be appreciated.

  It could be that this object is not listed in the static actors file for the map you are using.  Valid objects for maps depends on proper listing in several locations.  Many of the winter maps will not place the Gaz_AA series in much the same manner.  Often this is because a map was created before an object was available or it was in an object pack the map maker was not using.  Some of the maps are from the early days of IL2.  Some objects might have been left out of BAT because of class file conflicts.
  Which map are you working on?

Aleutians, Besserabia, Channel, Crimea, Donbass (Summer), El Alemein, Slovakia (summer) Spain (Ebro) Stalingrad (summer), and others. (I chose these at random.) In fact, I've never found a map where the placement works. On the other hand, if I open BAT in the other modules, I can place the objects on these maps. And I can place them in my CUP WAW install. It's a puzzlement.

Finally been able to replicate problem and isolate the cause.  There will be a modest Service Pack, ahead of the next full Expansion Pack, to fix this properly.  Many thanks for bringing it uo and helping to sort it out.  In the end it was down to some tiny elements that didn't make the full release version or were overwritten by other activator classfiles.  All fixed now, will put up a link shortly.

Awsome.

As always.

Please confirm when you have it working.  We have cross-tested again across a number of different systems and are confident now that you can see what I can see...

Works fine. Thanks again.
