Salute Gents,I am trying to get my EAW buddies into SDOE, but there doesn't seem to be an EFFECTIVE way of getting them from stock SDOE to online compatible easily. I recently had to reinstall myself, due to WWI planepack problems. HELP! I get plane mismatches after installing in the correct order posted on multiple websites. We need ONE, CONSTANTLY UPDATED website for this information. Suggestions appreciated. JG51_GIJeff_<<+ IP: Logged |

I'm having the same problem with EAW, do you know of a list of addons or a central place to download them all? TS

Sure TS,That stuff is all in my FTP server. You should still have the IP from last time you were in there. As far as I know it is current. JG51_GIJeff_<<+ IP: Logged |

Ronin that is the worst advise you could give. That doccument is so outdated and just further confuses newbies. I asked tim to update it but I guess he is too busy. The figter Squadron site contains the latest and accurate online standard page here: http://www.fightersquadron.com/standard.html [This message has been edited by d0gmA (edited 05-30-2000).] IP: Logged |

Salute Gents,Only one problem with that guys. I followed those directions and got mismatches on the 190A aircraft. I have reinstalled SDOE three times now using different orders and patches and not successfully gotten it working without any mismatches. Any other ideas? JG51_GIJeff_<<+ IP: Logged |

Maybe you should remove your 190a directory under media\aircraft and then re-install the 5.3b patch. It sounds like you have an sm file in there that is causing the missmatch more than likely.IP: Logged |

You know what you should not need to remove anything. why don't you try thisdelete SDOE use the remove in control panel then go into windows explorer and delete any left over files. Make sure you have no files left relating to sdoe. Then defrag and clean your system. Install FS then install the orig patch FS150 dos patch. then install plane pack 5.3 should be around 12meg Then install 5.3b patch then install Contest plane pack and make sure it's ver 1.1. then install nations and patch if needed. Once you have done this you should have everything you need to play on-line. If you still have probs then it's your system mate. myself and a few freinds have followed this procedure and we all work perfect. just forget about all the other addons and additions for now.

Though a clean install wouldn't hurt thats a lot of work for one plane that is missmatchingIP: Logged |

if you already have the zips stored on your computer though a fresh install should take no longer than 10 min. It's the only way to be sure.IP: Logged |

In defence of Zoy, he kept the standard up to date while this site was always a step behind.

For Clarification, I'm not trying to get down on Zoy, I just wanted to point out what people keep sending newbies to and then can't figure out how they could have gone wrong  IP: Logged |

I know Zoy has been really busy lately, he was asking for some help with the site a while back. I hope he doesn't end up closing it down. Just think of all the cool things he has posted there, and all the skins he has made for us.Hang in there buddy.  ------------------ Raider 33rd~GS Raiders Site

Like Bulldog says:150 patch 5.3 PlanePack 5.3 b Plane Pack Patch Contest 1.1 That is all I use. I have never had to use Nations, but I only do this a bit. Regards, MW IP: Logged |
