First off, You MUST read the readme file. Here it be:

**OP-WWI Plane Pack 2 Patch**

This is just a basic readme, so bare with me here...

You MUST have Nations V2 to use this Patch.
You MUST have at least the official 1.5 patch installed.
You MUST have the OP-WWI Plane Pack 2 installed.
To use the Somme updates, you MUST have the Full Updated Somme terrain installed.

Fixed/Added Items:

DM tweaks for all WWI kites:

What does this mean? It means that it will take LESS hits to bring down one of these babies, the damaged skins will show more and hopefully will solve our on-line problems! Most of the FM testing/tweaking was done by Wakeup Tailgunner and Sparks.

Updated/Added ground units:

Units such as the A7F, St Chamond, WWI spotlight, weaker flak guns, a better Church Bell, and updated/fixed observation balloons, and a static AEC bus have ben added. The static observation balloons have ben fixed to where now only one ID tag is displayed. The Church Bell now only goes off when you are very near a town and lasts much longer. The WWI spotlight made its debut with the S.11 Shorthorn, but will be added in for all you mission makers out there.

"Fixed" Airfoils:

The NACA0006.sm airfoil from the WW2 pack has ben added so that the two (WWI PP2 and WW2 PP6/6.1) can coexist without causing any problems online. The MosBis airfoil has also ben fixed.

Stronger wings:

Stronger wings have ben added for the S.E.5a, Fokker D.VII and the Fokker E.III

Updated Startup.ppf file:

This now includes everything and is based on Da Jug Heads verison.

Updated MissionEditor.ppf file:

This now includes every single terrain that was ever made for SDOE that was released to the public.

Fixed town terrain tiles:

These have ben added in for the mission makers. These fix the town terrain tiles for Dover, Rhineland, Africa and Somme.

Blast109's WWI GUI updates:

These include the new bmps for the Pilot, Training, Scramble, Debrief and Network sections.

New Somme map from Blast109:

Why not add it in?!?! Seems everyone is using Somme, and this only adds to it more!

New/greatly Updated Aircraft:

The new/greatly updated aircraft added are the Maurice Farman S.11, Aviatik C.I, Halberstadt D.II, Airco D.H.2 and Albatros D.I.

Notes:

For night missions, you must have the latest Wings With Wires SDOE patch installed.
Please look at each individual aircraft/ground units readme file for more specific information.

Enjoy!

**INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS**

Download all 4 parts and the EXE file from the following links. Once you have them all downloaded to the same folder, double click on the EXE file and specify where you want the final OPWWI PP2 Patch.EXE file to be. Once the OPWWI PP2 Patch.EXE file is compiled, double click on it and follow the on-screen instructions.

Download Links are as follows...

Part1.exe: ftp://ftp2.progeng.com/pub/Part1.EXE

Part1.gsd: ftp://ftp2.progeng.com/pub/Part1.gsd

Part2.gsd: ftp://ftp2.progeng.com/pub/Part2.gsd

Part3.gsd: ftp://ftp2.progeng.com/pub/Part3.gsd

Part4.gsd: ftp://ftp2.progeng.com/pub/Part4.gsd

Secondly, there seems to be a throttle issue with a few types of joysticks and the 1.5.2.9 Patch. If your throttle does NOT work, make sure BOTH of these lines are added to your 1.5.2.9 Patch setup keyboard.inp file:

inpThrottleAnalog = JoystickSlider1 : 0
;inpThrottleAnalog = JoystickAxisZ : 0

If it still does not work, try placing the semi-colon in-front of the other value so it would read like this:

;inpThrottleAnalog = JoystickSlider1 : 0
inpThrottleAnalog = JoystickAxisZ : 0

And lastly, the full file download will be available later on either today or when jgro gets back to me for you all out there with faster connections.
