Jeeves,

Love the new loadouts! A tremendous amount of work on your part which I for one greatly appreciate. I just wanted to let you know that the Startup.ppf file in your data12.par file seems to be missing the line for the dambuster bomb (see my post in Help). I had un-parred it to retrieve just the startup.ppf so I could place in in the appropriate directory myself and modify it if need be, so at first I though perhaps I deleted the line in question. However, I un-parred it again and looked at the file as is and the line is not there. I added it back myself and now things are fine.

Thanks Threedp...are you related to R2D2? Just kidding- I know it's you 3DP Since it worked in my game because 6.1 was already installed, I never thought about having to carry it over to the new startup.ppf....it will be fixed in the next installment, which will hopefully be part of the BP.

Jeeves, FYI it appears that the startup.ppf you put into the datafile does not contain the paratrooper or paracrate .sm lines for the JU82. Neither object was visible until I put the appropriate lines into a seperate startup.ppf file like we used before your data parfile.

EDIT: Nope, that's not it. Creating a new startup.ppf with just those two lines didn't do it. Had to reactivate my entire old startup.ppf file to get the paratroopers and crates to show. So now I don't know what lines are in my old file that seem to be missing from your new data file.

This is the only problem I have found so far since relying totally on the data file for my startup.ppf info. Good work!

Thanks guys...

Well-- as far as I know, from now on, the loadouts will be controlled through the BP, so I hope to fix all the startup.ppf troubles and get things working OK again---maybe I should release a new startup.ppf that has everything in it? I thought for sure those lines were in mine, but I will have to check...Jerry-- not sure how you fixed it, but maybe we can get this all working again LOL

I forget-- does an external startup.ppf in the Media folder override one in the par file?

K....I will have to look when I get home, but I think my startup has everything-- including for planes that have yet to be released

If so, I will e-mail it to those who want it....or maybe put it up somewhere-- although not at simfiles as I think there already is a startup.ppf there and I don't want to add to that confusion...
