Eelde in the netherlands was never a militairy field

Schiphol in the netherlands was never a militairy field

Maastricht-Geilenkirchen is not a field, maastricht in the netherlands is a civil field
and geilenkirchen in germany is the awacs airbase of europe, it's approx. 35 miles north
east of maastricht !

here some fields that are important but dont exist in europe v0.5
* Ahlhorn in Germany
* Gutersloh in germany
* Wildenrath in germany

Futhermore, in germany there is a nuclear plant near the city of Lingen, it's not in
europe v0.5

--- fixes v0.7
- ?

I’m not really sure if this is a bug or just a result of the large theater, but when I select ‘Back’ from ‘Mission Builder’ or the ‘Mission Schedule’ in TE it takes approximately 6 minutes before the next screen appears.

Except from that, the theater runs nice and smooth in the 3D world, so please continue the god work.

Merry Christmas

common issue in 128x128 OF theaters...
instead of waiting i ctd em intentionally, takes shorter...

*when i go into campaign scenario 3,2,1 in the europe present day and 1985 teather and wanna call up threat Circles I get a CTD

Are campaign editable or the result is still CTD after editing?

Any progress?

No progress, I have no solution for that.

It appears Bitbutg AB is not leveled. Just thought you should know. It is way in AF and RV. If someone can tell me how to fix it I will give it a shot.

Thanks, I have now added the bug into the bugs list. As how to fix it, you should check out airbase leveling in PMC Editing Wiki.

any news about the issue that we can't edit the save.cam files?
where is THAT m*therF*CKING problem? Who can help us?
SM? ranger? sherlock? god?

we really need to find the problem, because no further campaign edits are possible if we/you don't fix it, you know that....


so, no idea?

cheers

If you have some edits, let me know and I'll implement them into the TCL scripts. Thats the idea.

problem is, if i edit/tweak the save.cam files i ALWAYS get a CTD in Tacedit, and if not in Tacedit i get the CTD if i select the campaign.
SO no edit is possible, THAT is the big problem that i have! Molnibalage also figured that out...

hey Snake Man, the european theater would be my favourite one if i could tweak it... please have a look into it! thanks.


P.S.:
please add also those Austrian Airfields and Armybases in the next release, but i'm still looking for other countries and exact infos!

tried to edit the eruope1 save0.cam.
lots of units have no0 <this> CTDs
removed all AC and Airdefense. added some ACs and AD units, saved it successfully, entered RV, selected the campaign, clicked commit, no edits to priorities, start campaign, CTD.


conclusion. save0.cam is the only .cam that can be edited and saved in tacedit, all others will just crash in tacedit, BUT is also NOT playable....

"lots of units have no0 <this> CTDs"

I don't understand this part.

Also don't understand this. You said that you got CTD after all of your edits. AFTER this you noticed that this is the only editable campaign.

??

And what theater was selected? More than one have save0.cam.

I'm very confused...

Guys, this topic is for Europe v0.6 bug reporting. I'm not sure if it falls to that category if you ask tips how to edit the campaign files.

Ok, where should we go to? should i open a new topic? ("ideas for v0.7")


@Molni:

I don't understand this part.

i meant the units have the number 0, i mean for example its the 0th squadron. if you have it set 0, it will bring you CTDs if think! understand?

i'm talking about europe1/ save0.cam.
i was able to save my edits in tacedit, but if i start the campaign i'll get a CTD in RV! all other save.cams crashed in tacedit. i hope you understand it now, better.

cheers

To fix that, load Russia west. You can get it at Zaggy's new site. I don't remember addy. Anyone ?

I setted up a new system, did install RV 1.0.0.4 with Hitiles and additional Pits, then I installed Europe for RV ver.0.6, but he installation didn´t prompt me to choose between RV/OF and AF........the installation shows in the status window "Lead Pursuit", so i guess the installation has choosen AF automatically, or does the "Lead Pursuit" splash also appears after having choosen RV/OF install ?

Didn´t have any AlliedForce install on my new built up system, so what is going on ?

Please help me, I can´t wait flying over Europe !

Thanks in advance,

satch

No need to double post, your installation help topic is sufficient, thank you.

Snake Man, let us know before you want to get into another dev circle. We should discuss some things and issues before! and we should wait for FF5.

Cheers
Stef

...just a heads up...

i was gladly able to motivate some german guys to do some terrain bug researches for this theater!

they keep concentrated on the German area, which is sure one of the most important areas in that theater.. i will post more when we have something more. stay tuned. and thanks to these guys!

cheers

a quick TGA for FF europe

The Scenario screen for both campaigns needs a little work... The scenarios labels are out of order (2,3,1), as well as the pics (1,3,2).

Korea movies play when scenarios 2 and 3 are selected.

Made a quick TE to fly through the moutain valleys around Zurich, and I must say it absolutly rocks!

Great work guys!!

haven't you to do anything else these days?

You wouldn't believe how many guys I'm waiting on...

Stuttgart Runway 26 disappears on approach.

Levelling?

System: Intel i7-930 with 6GB triple channel DRAM, running Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Version: Europe 0.6.1 INSTALLED FOR OPEN FALCON 4.7

Installation finished successfully. Selected Europe as active theater per prompt. Started campaign. Entered campaign 2D map fine. Selected mission. Crashed to Desktop (CTD) whenever I tried to enter the 3D world.

Note: Installation did not give me a choice of whether I wanted to install for OF or AF. I have both installed on my system. It just automatically started installation for OF.

was it resolved the main problem in the crash during the campaign mode?
I'm not referring to the CTD irrelevant to the game during the exit but the crash that occurs after a few days or even hours in campaign
thanks bye

Version: Europe 6.1 INSTALLED FOR OPEN FALCON 4.7

Its Europe v0.6.1 and not 6.1

BTW how come you install it on OF, I thought you were AF guy?

the crash that occurs after a few days or even hours in campaign

I am not aware of any campaign CTD, while back I played the v0.6 campaign in RV for days, no problems detected.

Snake Man wrote:BTW how come you install it on OF, I thought you were AF guy?

I had forgotten I had installed OF a while back to see what it looked like. The Europe installer automatically selected the OF install and installed itself for OF (and not AF).

but then what are the improvements in version 0.6.1 for falcon4 AF?

This problem does NOT exist in Allied Force. Threat circles work well for both enemy and friendly sides.

Report on installation of Theater:
System: Intel i7-930 with 6GB triple channel DRAM, running Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Version: Europe 0.6.1 INSTALLED FOR Falcon 4: Allied Force, patch 0.13

Installation finished successfully. Started 1985 campaign. Entered campaign 2D map fine. Selected mission. Flew part of a F-15C HAVCAP over central Germany. Nice work on the terrain!

Then I switched over to the present day Europe. Few observations there:
1. There is a squadron of F-15Js at Aviano AB (26th Squadron). This is the Japanese version of the F-15. Are you simulating Japanese involvement in the war or is this a mistake?
2. There is also a squadron of F-15-229s at Aviano Airbase (27th Squadron). They aren't showing up in game.
3. There are OV-10Bs at Wunstorf AB (33rd Squadron). I don't believe there are any NATO nations using OV-10s in Europe. Additionally, the last OV-10D was retired from US forces in 1994. Is your scenario set during this time period or afterwards (present day = 2010?).
4. There is a squadron of EF-111As at Lyon Satolas AB (21st Squadron). All EF-111As were retired in 1998. In the present day the electronic aircraft for the US is the F/A-18G Growler flown by the Navy. It is replacing the EA-6B and supports the USAF also.
5.


Note: Installation did not give me a choice of whether I wanted to install for AF. It just automatically started installation for AF.

Dear Snake Man,
Hello to you and all of the Members, this is my first post here.
I'm having substantially the same problem Sherlock has pointed out above - with only the difference that I just can't start any campaign, CTDs came always first
The story is different with TEs, I can do anything I want with (making, flying, etc.).
I had no issues while installing the theatre on Free Falcon (5.5 with the new cockpits), all things went out fine or so it seemed.
My system is based on an Intel Quad Core Q9400 with 2 GB of RAM, a Sapphire ATI 5770 video card with 1 Gb of RAM and Catalyst driver v.10.7 (but the same issue happened with elder versions); its OS is Windows XP Pro SP3, 32-bit.
More weird even, this happens with any of the theaters released after have been checked their compatibility with FreeFalcon 5, as you stated about.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance and my congratulations for your hard work anyway!

Welcome to the forum

I'm having substantially the same problem Sherlock has pointed out above - with only the difference that I just can't start any campaign, CTDs came always first

It just might be that the latest update is using some squadron/vehicle that is different in OF database. I'm no OF expert and didn't have the time to test it.

I'd need to find some interested OF guy who can shed some light on the database there.

Dear Snake Man,

thanks for your quick reply, as first. I'm sorry, but I was not too much clear in explaining myself (my apologies for that): the issue is the same as Sherlock's, but it is occuring on FreeFalcon 5.5.
Almost not worth to mention, but perhaps useful to have in mind, it's that all things - campaigns included - are going fine on Allied Force with any of the new released theatres...

Never mind, I just saw there's a whole thread dedicated to my problem.
