This is not in an installer at this point but is set up as a zip file. Installer needs to be arranged with Dogma. This will include a new full planepack for those without 6.1 as well.

Go to my site to download for now. As far as online standard, we will judge based on community feedback.

Further on this, planepack 6.2 development is now officially beginning. Please let me know what needs to go in and I will start gathering files.

Good luck

P

Spin I just went to get it and the link just links me to Angelfire, can you check into this

Please note the current file is a zip and is not available as an installer at this point. An installer will be worked on and released at some point soon. As a result, at this time, 6.1 should not be considered online standard.

If you plan to do a patch to fix anything let me know so i can send the updates to you to get added.

Most of the stuff is better graphics for props, new Network.bmp and some updated stat.bmp on a few planes.

Oh yea, Spin i'm going to update every spit in the planepack to fix the shading problem on the right side fuse. I'll also fix the IX wing and send you those new SM files Sun. or later in the week.

I have been working the last few weeks on modifying the loadouts to make them more accurate-- some gun values were off from sources I have, and the bomb values as well....plus I am adding new weapons that are being made by a few of the talented here-- and figure by the time I am done, there will be a release of all the new stuff

BUT....I went to add the changes I have made so far to the new PP loadouts and found a whole new problem.....I see there are NET loadouts included in the pack. Are these Spoon's loadouts?

Now-- I realize that we are trying to make things more fair for online-- but I assumed the patch would do this. I don't think that Spoon's was intended to be a long-term fix-- just something to tide people over until the games was fixed. Do people still use Spoon'd loadouts online?

I would really like to see the loadouts less complicated, not more-- as it is there are too many redundant choices. Is there another solution for this?

I am all for less complication where possible.

I think it really depends if enough people get together and let the community know whether or not the new patch make things for realistic online with the normal loadouts or not.

If the patch fixes things and it is ok with the community, I am sure Spin or someone from the pp team can go through and remove the net loadouts.

Now that this is out we need to update all the pages that list the OS.

Cool stuff, maybe I'll reinstall SDOE and try out some of this new patch stuff now.

Thanks to all invovled.

Was there any more FM changes besides the tiffy? Cause thats mostly what I was looking for.

The hope is that they will be temporary. By naming missions appropriately we will be able to eliminate or edit net loadout missions quickly and easily when and if they are not longer needed (due to the patch and improvements in the net code). At that time the net compononents of the loadouts can be removed.

Jeeves if you would like to send me the updates you would like to make to the loadouts I will put them together with the net loadouts for pp6.1 and use them in 6.2.

Some time ago Maury did the same with all of the german a/c but unfortunately I ran into a bug during testing with them that meant I didn't include most of them in the pack. I plan to revisit these over the next couple of weeks and try to isolate the problem then hopefully fix it. His research added a lot of value to the hangar descriptions.

As far as making 6.1 standard, I don't want to rush it. I would like people to provide feedback, get the proper installer completed and then pending disaster switch over (hopefully within a week or so).

OK-- I am nowhere done yet as there is still work being done in making more weapons that were used in the war....but I would say that by the time you are close to being ready to release 6.2, I will be done and will send you all the new accurate loadouts and the new weapons that will be included I will be in contact with you more on this as things get closer to completion

If you make a mission, then the loadout options for the plane have the NET loadouts as part of the options....BUT-- if you are playing online with the 1.2.8 patch, don't use the NET loadouts....just use the regular ones as some of the damage bugs have been fixed...see Razer's post directly above to see what I mean

Will it be possible to cram all the files into a installer so everyone can be on the same page without adding lines to the startup and file moving?

I don't fly online anymore do to the ctd's and missmatches.

If we could all d/l a single file that contains everything we need I think the online community would come back.

I could just be lazy but I think it would help.

Texture and sounds folders in your specific aircraft folder do over-ride the par files.
