Hmm, well that explains a lot. Would I need to use a version of DiffFM to get it to work? It was included in the Blitzkrieg addon...

[vpmedia]

The Blitzkrieg addon was made for an earlier patch version, it needs to be updated with the latest ini file contents.

Iirc I tested the D.520 but had somekind of problem I could not fix or find a solution, cant remember exactly what it was. I tested lots of mods in the pack which finally didnt work out. I was maybe too careful of what to add because I wanted to avoid a scenario where I receive bug reports every day about the included mods.

I can give some advice about mods which are not in the pack if I see a logfile.

[JimmyBlonde]

Ahhh I see. Thanks for that information, I'll deliver a log file just as soon as I get done re-installing. (I took the nuclear option, thinking that I must have inadvertently broken something after spending much of the day trying to get the D520 working)

I'll check the other aircraft in the Blitzkreig pack too.

Ok, I tested the Blitzkrieg Addon and most of the planes don't work. 100% freeze or no render with sound playing.

Here's my logfile from a session of testing before the game eventually crashed:

(Uploaded because chrome doesn't want to play nice with 15MB of embedded text.)

There's a lot of NullPointerException going on, seemingly related to sounds so I'll add that I'm using Jiver's sound mod and the Tiger's flyby addon.

The Blitzkrieg addon needs to be updated based on the 'all-in-one patch' ini files or made to have its ini entries to be added manually. Planes which are not added to the DaveB/Tiger fly by sound mod classes will crash at 100%.

[JimmyBlonde]

Yep, it was Tiger's flybys causing problems, thanks VP. I am so glad to have that problem sorted since it was a major setback for some DGen stuff I'm working on. (I'm compiling a major DGen mega-pack for your mod)

Hopefully the Blitzkrieg pack can be made Tiger friendly one day.

I am currently in the process of trying this mod.  I downloaded all the parts into a folder.  Previously, I did the mega patch thing to original IL2.  All appeared OK.  Went to the folder where all the parts were, clicked on the 001 to unzip, it appeared to unzip to my game folder, but then I tried 002 and it wouldn't unzip.  What have I done wrong this time?  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.  I want to at least look at this mod.  I am using BAT currently.  CUP before that.  Oh well, such are the trials of us old not smart guys.

I will try and do that.

All the best

Thanks. Since the Blitzkrieg addon was published I added the WestFront40(Blitzkrieg) & WestFront40(Winter) maps and the vehicle convoys so you dont need those anymore in the pack.

[SAS~Poltava]

Good! In order to make it maximum compatible, I will only add aircraft to the updated version.

[vpmedia]

Your advice about the vehicle convoys was really good, it added a little more compatibility with DBW campaigns.
