Re: BalkansOFM

so great. Thanks a million

Thanks a lot for your attention, dear Lorik.

With best regards.

@cougar56th faster than your shadow! Thank you!

@MaxWaldorf I say this because some theater devs or rogue teams wrongly think that models have no copyright. It was not a remark to you but to the community as an addition to your statement !!

@drtbkj
Here is my campaign testing update, Fra’.

After several attempts (=launching that TASMO mission), my suspicions have been confirmed.
There is nothing wrong in that particular mission, thus there have been a sudden interference acted by an (unindentified, sorry) app running in my PC/system background. Thinking otherwise would drive to nothing, in short.

So, this is my (good for you) news.
And what are doing with “my” birdie, folks?

With best regards.

@MaxWaldorf said in [BUG] First Squadron in TE is not usable for planning flights:

did you select the correct team flag in the editor first?

@Korbi said in [BUG] First Squadron in TE is not usable for planning flights:

(correct team of course!)

I did 🙂
I first thought it happens too in KTO as I was in a rush testing it at the beginning and forgot to check for the correct team. But further down testing, where i had more time to check things out more closely I realized, that KTO just works as it should.

Having a bit of an issue, I’ve installed Balkans with U2 cumulative update. When I go to launch into mission it goes to launching screen then CTD’s. Here’s the thing tho, I have Lorik Campaign’s installed and they launch fine. Any ideas?

Here is the update for the Balkans Theater that goes with 4.36.1. This is just an updater (not a full install). Make sure you have the full install at this link…

Balkans Theater 4.36.0 (Full Build)

Note: This updater is a cumulative update from update 1 and update 2. You only need to install the full version of the Balkans theater and update 2 to be fully up to date.

Balkans Theater 4.36.2 Updater

Again make sure if you do not have 4.36.0 Balkans Theater installed, you install that first and then the update.

@Quasi_Stellar No, as I recall it was all black and fairly small.

@mj3437 no problem.

Hi, friends. It’s just me or the Balkan’s Theatre clouds look more realistic than the ones in most other theatres?

Thanks!

@Ripper Mate. I’ve had a long , 3 hour tour 🙂 , of all said airbases in that TE of yours.
…from Aviano, Matarelo, Bolzano, Tessera, Miramare … where landed eventually. , 4ship flight , SP.
Like navigation school, IFR , tacan , as weather is … crap.

On every one I’ve mentioned… I did touch’n’go (hmmm, but once, not 2 or more times in a row… now - to test this) … and to the next one.

One tanking before Miramare , was <2k already.

Flight landed after aar at Miramare… , but just for fun, I’ve hotrefuel and flew some more , acrobatics, buzzing tower … you know, pissing everyone off.

Guess… no CTD … but !! 🙂 … it did CTD on the end of the mission. (END)

That is completely different, BMS thinks I landed on the same parking spot, 2nd time , end mission. ctd.
Yeah, “infinite” mission time in SP , landing - taking off again , is still not supported fully in BMS… bu as I’ve said completely different story… also in SP.

So, your ctd is completely unrelated to mine , … and to me it didn’t happen on any of touch’n’go’s … 4 or 5 ? … anyway… just fyi … that is not TE/Theater (airbase/terrrain) related case, or it would happen everytime… probably some BMS beetle…

Cheers

@white_fang many thanks for clarifying and to point me to rtfm 😑 . To be honest I didn’t notice that till test the new sound mod, it will turn external lights more bright and visible, so I have to try to understand how to bring that back to original. Engine sound it’s good but external lights it’s become too cartoonish for me.
Mant thanks

It might be BMS all around, need to se KTO first, but:

Have you seen how the parking area look at night(s) in eg. Brnik airport?

Where no (plane) landing/taxi lights , there’s no details.
It is a gray area , with no details , flat gray polygon.

Don’t know the reason, maybe the pole lights/shadow cast combination
… but is clearly like in 1980 computer graphics… with taxi lights - which look good btw.

Can someone pinpoint the reason, … as I’m not convinced that it is my graphics settings, - as I’ve tried color stuff options in Ati/Radeon config “live - on tarmac” and is always the same, whatever contrast , hue, saturation balance

Why I mention pole-lights, there were problems with them before… they’ve changed in 4.35 , but I cannot recall how was then.

I can post a pic… but it is clearly visible when looking from pit on parking tarmac where is not lit by landing/taxi lights.

Any ideas?

Clearly light poles aren’t working exactly right, but the light they cast is visible from air , just not from ground level … you tell me it seems not all light sources cast light like they should,… yes its a picky detail , but kinda annoying one also blue taxiway lights also don’t cast flood lightning , they are just simple “bulbs” - not light sources - but that is probably out of scope for theater , BMS in general

Here you can see what I’m talking about, nice CGI aka 1980’s commodore style, and that bloody pole-light which cast nothing… not even light

@Jackal hi!!!

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I tried too and it was ok…probably with my wheel break at 2000 degree :):)

Ciaoooo

Gundam

I have updated the link for Balkans 4.35. Use the Balkans 4.35 main post to download

@McNerve Indeed the link has faded.
@cougar56th Do you have 4.35.3 somewhere still available?

8962edad-74d7-4c89-93b0-dbd7cda47207-image.png

I have a problem in installing balkans theater, related with file data-1.7z.
I once had same problem in 4.35, and I haven’t solved it yet.

Good catch !
will be fixed soon
