Almost ready to do the uninstall/reinstall boogie but would be most grateful if someone can give me some ideas first.

SV - I've made a new skin for the Alb but I havn't been able to view it in the game. Is there a way to do it in the Demo? May I email it to you & maybe you could send me a few screenshots?

Goin to work now...

Thanks guys

I use OPS to view my skins when I am working on them. It is far more resource efficient that launching a mission every 30 seconds when you are editing at the per pixel level

I am sorry to hear this

I am removing the airfoil from the SE5a until there is a better way - or when the now beta plane pack is production ready.

I will be uploading a whole new SE5a that has none of the airfoil crap - this should make things much easier. This will be up in a day or two.

Also I will be posting a special double package that contains both my SE5a and Albatros - I will test the hell out of this pack to make sure everything is just right and it works with both the currrect plane pack and beta plane pack. Also all missions included will work, etc.

Sorry about this CTD stuff - nothing is more frustrating - I know

Yes, please send the skin! I am making a special skin section at the WWI site - I will update all the other great user created WWI skins and post downloads with screen shots and info. I would love to include yours, and will send you pics to you so you can see it - until you can get your poor SDOE to avoid the desktop....

That way we could just update the startup.ppf and not have to copy a new one over the old one everytime someone adds a new object to the game.

Or do we need an official startup.ppf that can be downloaded from a web site. If we add an object we contact the administrator of the site and ask for "This line to be added" to the startup.ppf That way there would be one official version and it would have all the needed lines.

Even if a person does not have an object it will not cause a problem.

I think it would be easier to tell new people to download the latest version of the startup.ppf at 'www._______.com than to tell them to edit their .ppf file.

SV, don't sweat it, a minor difficulty which pales in comparison with your fine work and friendly assistance. The prob was of my own doing anyway...
I'll send the skin as soon as editing is complete.

BTW Yardstick, I can't seem to get textures to load in OPS (I must admit that I havn't diligently searched for the proceedure... so little time these days). How do you load them & view them?
