If it's not OK to put these units into the pack, please let me know. Also, if you have or know of units I've not got (there must be loads) let me know about them and if it's ok to add them to the pack.

I've added the Funky vehicles and Tiger because they are ground units, although used under aircraft.

Let me know what you think guys, and what to add/take out.

Thanks

~Nat~

PS I'd like to add "actual" Japanese ground units, but haven't found any pics or data, so if you know of any good sites could you let me know, and I'll bolster that Nation as much as I can.

You want to stick your ground objects along with the 5.3a ground objects in the same par file, since if the new akagi is in data7.par it will get overrided by the old akagi in data12.par

I don't want to have to dig through that many missions all while trying to find a particular mission, when I'm trying to play online.

If I misunderstood.....never mind.

It would be nice if what we do have could be sorted by size (amount of planes in the mission), but even if they could I would want to be able to select which missions I want in my mission folder, not have them included in a file for ground objects.

To many missions out that I have no interest in. I just hate digging through them all.

Now-- is the Tallboy doable? Dole- would you mind if we used it? All that needs to be added is an .sm, a texture, one line to the startup (if you want- I'll send my startup along- it has every single freaking object and airfoil reference up to date- so when you overwrite-- all that would be changed is the addition of the Tallboy reference.) And finally- a new loadout for the Lanc (I'm not sure which loadout everyone has-- but I can show how to add in the Tallboy in the loadout...let me know!

I'll look at my ground objects files when I get home Nat and let you know what you're missing, OK? As I said- I do believe I have about everything! I am a download hound!

I see what you're saying about the missions, they are a pain when you have alot, I was thinking of renanming them (slightly) so that they appear in some kind of order, but that isn't a simple thing....

So, if I don't combine Ground Units with Data7, and Data14 is free, I would rather use that so as to keep the newest versions I can of Ground Objects from being over written. This is one that I guess the OPS guys will have to decide on, so in the time being, I'll update Data7.par with the new missions I've got online, and any missions anyone wants to send (Snick), then it's user discretion as to wether or not you d/l the file, but you can still get the ground units as a seperate deal.

Speed, thanks for the link to Pete's Place, I'll check it out and d/l whats needed.

Pete, is it OK to add them??

Well, like I said, I'll carry on getting whats needed, but I would like a decision about the parfile. I would like to use Data14.par, and unless I get an answer one way or the other, I'll release GroundUnits Pack in Data14.par this weekend, and also an upgraded Data7.par with all new missions sent to me till then.

Second thing: I can't remember if it was dogma or tailslide, but someone was filling me in on a OPP discussion about nations, and suggested that to encourage it's propagation amongst our community that nations take two parfiles to reduce d/l sizes. I don't know if this is still possible given the other projects like Nat's being proposed/worked on. I'm not whining or anything, imo even with my 56k modem nations isn't a big download (I did it a few times to get a sense of what the rest of you had to contend with) so I'm happy with 1 parfile, but if it means people aren't going to d/l it in future I think as a community we need to re-examine the distribution of parfiles.

Please. You are very welcome to put in any of my ground object work (moving vehicles/T34 Tank/Obs Balloons (static and flyable)). You have my permission Feel free to use what you want from http://members.xoom.com/hawkersop

Werner, there shouldn't be a problem in anycase with having any of the multiple Par file addons reduced to a file Par file, put it this way, you have to download it all anyway, so there's no reason it couldn't all be put in a single par file, and use File spliter (freeware) to split it into smaller managble parts that have a simple .bat file to rejion them, to me it seems the best answer as SDOE gets more developement and we get short of parfiles. I do see your point though, it just seems there's an answer for it until we actually use up all the file numbers.
