Razer Pilot	posted 02-18- 11:19 PM Well Xoom.com is being a bitch. Everyone is going to have to download the ACE version till i can find a new place to post 5.3's EXE and ZIP Razer IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 02-19- 03:48 AM Spanky here.. Aces are fine for me IP: Logged
MrBlob Pilot	posted 02-19- 05:38 AM what are aces? how do you use them...? IP: Logged
roadtoad Pilot	posted 02-19- 06:57 AM Kudos to all the PP gods doing the huge work it took! Just being able to fly the new 190 from F1 makes the downloading worth it - and that's just part of the goodies Thanks again -rt IP: Logged
Raider Pilot	posted 02-19- 08:35 AM Razer, How do we unzip the files? Do you have a web address where we can get something to unzip .ace files? Your help is appreciated Raider {GS} IP: Logged
d0gmA General	posted 02-19- 09:00 AM You can get unace from my ftp ftp://ftp.3dgw.com/misc/unace.exe then use the command line: unace x planepack5.3.ace and it will create the various folders. ------------------ IP: Logged
Raider Pilot	posted 02-19- 09:01 AM Thank you very much d0gma Raider {GS} IP: Logged
STef Pilot	posted 02-19- 09:51 AM I can't get the unace.exe program to rebuild files from PP5.3 wahatever the option I select, nothing happens. I both tried the MS-DOS truncated name and complete file name. What could I do wrong? ------------------ ________ P/O STef Editor http://stephan.bondier.free.fr/gazette.html IP: Logged
Royohboy Pilot	posted 02-19- 10:05 AM Wow, the new PP rules! I think there's hardly an AC left that sports the stocl skin. The opening canopies are just too cool :-) Two thoughts, though: 1: Opening the canopy in a Bf109 at max speed would certainly tear off the canopy. Is that planned for 5.4? 2: While I'm no expert at RAF bombers the Lanc now looks very much like a Manchester to me, i.e. there's only two engines left. I guess something got mixed up here. Thank you, OPP and PP-guys! IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 02-19- 10:13 AM Roy, yes, this would normally happen but doesn't right now. We are really brain storming for things to add to 5.4, things like youcan't bail out till you open the canopy, and it does rip off when opened at high speeds.. For those of you that don't have WinACE. http://www.winace.com/main.html I'm hoping to get the ZIP and EXE version posted today, so wish me luck. IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 02-19- 10:21 AM Roy, looks like you found the first goof. something happened somewhere. There is a patch planed, so look for that in a few days. not sure how this got by use. sorry. Just to make sure everyone knows. if you had a planepack installed before onyour system. make sure you delete data14.par and data15.par. New planepack only uses 12 and 13. Razer IP: Logged
STef Pilot	posted 02-19- 11:35 AM Got an error message. I redownloaded the 2 first parts of the archives and it keeps bugging. It wasn't really what I needed at the moment. Can't blame Razer as others have been able to rebuild the file... very very disappointed. bad week anyway. ------------------ ________ P/O STef Editor http://stephan.bondier.free.fr/gazette.html IP: Logged
Ronin Pilot	posted 02-19- 12:12 PM Razer and everyone who put time into Plane Pack 5.3... Thanks for all your time and hard work!!! Ronin (Hey, if all we did was lose a couple of engines off of one bomber while putting together this big of a project... we're doing good!) IP: Logged
Luny Pilot	posted 02-19- 02:02 PM Hey Stef I had the same problem... Solution: Rename the Planepack5.3.c0x..c0x files (3 of them c00, c01, c02) to Planepack5.3.ace..c0x and it will work. It did here ------------------ ___________ -=BAB=-Luny IP: Logged
Whirlwind Pilot	posted 02-19- 02:33 PM Has anyone tested the plane pack's Lanc yet? You sure that the lanc.sm file is the right one? On a clean load/install (seperate from my SDOE developement install), I seem to be getting my hacked up Manchester. It might just be me, but I recognize that thing anywhere. IP: Logged
kopper JAG	posted 02-19- 02:52 PM yes, somehow it is your Manchester. That was our mistake. It was suppose to be the Lanc with the moving turret. ------------------ Kopper Fortunae Nihil (Nothing to Chance) OPPs Making SDOE a Dangerous place. One plane at a time. IP: Logged
ZooL Pilot	posted 02-19- 03:12 PM hmm i downloaded it and installed it after deleted the 2 par files but im not sure if it did anything...I dont see the new planes anywhere and you know where it says 5.2 up in the window when you play online? well it stills says 5.2... IP: Logged
Whirlwind Pilot	posted 02-19- 03:47 PM OH! The HUMANITY!! Although it looks better than my Viper and Staaken right now, it still wasn't meant for human consumption . That's ok, just post a new .sm file (please update the loadout.ppf file to state that the Lanc is a Mk.I because the Mk.II had Packard engines and round nacells), I really don't have 45 minutes to get the PP again. Of course, the general population can save it for those days they just need a slow, dumb, outclassed bomber to drill to pieces on. Nice 109F,K,ect, BTW. What happened to the 109G? Just wondering.

Jetlag Pilot	posted 02-19- 04:12 PM Nice work gents. Congratulations on a bouncing baby boy! One small glitch is the Me262's pilot is sitting four 'notches' too far left so when the cannons are fired they look like it's aimed off-centre. This is easily solved by pressing CTRL-NUMPAD_6 four times. ------------------ Jagdverband 44 [This message has been edited by Jetlag (edited 02-19-2000).] IP: Logged

Hawker Pilot	posted 02-20- 09:02 PM doh i mad a new post i want this one to stay at top and any word on the real lanc yet maybe we do a beta for now till 5.3 patch? just an idea thanx IP: Logged
Hawker Pilot	posted 02-20- 10:16 PM alsofound out u have to delete par 4 and i had sm files in my spit 1a and mot 109 e heheh all fixed now. IP: Logged
AGAS - 5 Pilot	posted 02-20- 11:51 PM Well the mistaken Lancaster (Manchester ?) didn't go to waste on me. As it turns out it looks very similar (OK..stretching it hear)to the Fiat B.R.20 (Yi shiki). The Japs bought 85 of these from the Italians just before the war. Have even done up a realistic Jap skin and changed the names in the Ops file to make it a stand alone aircraft. Anyone interested in the skin or directions to make it a unique aircraft, drop me a line. Thanks to the PP 5.3 guys. This inadvertant mistake has brought me an unexpected surprise. Again well done. You've brought a lot of things together in this PP. Of course there will be bugs but from my point of view nothing dramatic. Cheers, AGAS 5 IP: Logged
Hawker Pilot	posted 02-21- 01:09 AM Oh i like the manchester but its not done,I love my Lanc thats all and i have paint schemes for it btw i sent razor his sm file of lanc b4 pp5.3 was released i was playing with it so a fix should be avail soon IP: Logged
Whirlwind Pilot	posted 02-21- 09:00 AM WOW! You got it to skin? I could never figure out how to do that. To make it more of a Manc, you need to decrease the width and length of the wings, and change the engine nacels. I was just wanting some british twin to fly, so I chopped up the Manc. I think the FM is about right for the Manc as well. IP: Logged
