I got the Nations project and finally got it to install after I took the read-only off of the sringtable.ppf file, but alas it wouldn't work the three new nations appear in the Training part of the game but have no planes to chose from. I even tried a complete reinstall of the whole game to no avail. Plase help!! Check Six

There are really no planes to fly in those Nations yet (although I thought we had put the Zero in the Japan folder)...it's an easy fix though (and maybe mposis- you can make this standard in your next release of the Zero?). In the Zero loadout ppf, there are three lines you need to change:

descCountry- just change the word Germany to Japan

descPicture- change the word Germany to Japan

descStats- again, change Germany to Japan...this one you have to do for all four languages in the loadout.

Then you have to go to Media/GUI/Art/Hangar and make a Japan folder- and in their should go your a6m5 folder with the cutaway.bmp and the 4 stats.bmp (English, French, German, Italian).

That should work....another way to play around is open up one of the air-to-air missions for the Corsair and change the Zero squadron to a Japanese one (if you don't, then they will still speak German)- if you scroll down the squadrons list, there are 5 squadrons to choose from thanks to me and Poodle). E-mail us if there are any problems- but please remember, it is a Beta.

col_tomb: Jeeves is right, the Zero and the Yak3 need tweaking before they'll show up properly with our project, but since those are property of other people we haven't done the fix ourselves. I do believe, however, that the scramble missions should work fine for you (assuming you have 5.3 installed), so give that a shot. Also, throw together a mission yourself and assign the zero to on of the four Japanese Air Groups. It's really easy and loads of fun.

Enjoy!

Jeeves: We cut the zero out of the release a long time ago after deciding that it would increase the download size for users, many of whom already have the zero.

Just to echo what Jeeves has said:
This is BETA stuff, and released primarily to appease some of the pitch-fork toting members of our "native" community . It's also out for people who have Jap/Ita/Sov planes to work on compatability, as Jeeves explained above.
