Thanks for your answer Ender.

So it is not theatre related… Hummm… I have to find out whats wrong with my bdu33 then… first thing back to Korea to see if the problem is persistent there tooo.

Ah… dear Nikos deleted half of Balkan’s UHF so … yes , use Victor where Uniform is OUT … check with ‘stations+ils.dat’ in balkans campaign dir., or with updated Nikos navaids,

Actually I’ve checked myself too, for Croatia mostly, and only frequencies which I could found are Victor ones, so … somehow , it applies…
But, was it really needed (in ‘Falcon world’), that’s another incident in which I would not like to go into again 😉

Cheers

Hi Cougar!
Very kind,
thx

Day 1 a few hours in, things seem to be okay now

Bump… can you help Cougar?

Roger cougar.
Thankyou

@Rush1:

bit confusing with all the thread

never less thx for heads up

If it is too confusing, just go to the main Balkans thread and download the main Balkan Theater. 1.58 GB That will make your install the most current.

Cougar

@cougar56th:

I just uploaded a new full installer that is the same as 1.2a but if you don’t want all those updates, the new full download is labeled Balkans 4.33.2.0

See this post for the download

You did it quick, you did it wise… well done, in short.
And thanks a lot for this also, most of all!

With best regards,

Got it. :blowpar:

Roger that.

Like I say, not really a massive issue. Just a small observation.

I was sure the area was clear of hostile because of the state of the campaign. We have pretty much air superiority now.

Thanks again.

Great Cougar,
Thank´s so much for the hard work , you and all the other´s involved put to this Baby.🙇:woohoo:

one way to be certain is to check you station-ILS file. I dont have balkans installed but find the carrier you are looking for in that file and it should look something like this.

in this case 13 is the TCN, 226300 is UHF and 116300 is VHF and 11110 is ILS

USS CARL VINSON CVN70

25 13 X 999 100 1 226300 116300 0 0 11110 0

I really need to find that Balkans map for a trip down memory lane.Was in operation deliberate force with my beloved 1st AD. I want to see how well they modeled Tire Hill. If I can still find it after all these years. I’ll be lurking on Steam.

PM with TE sent. Hope you have an idea for fix 🙂

That was indeed the case 😛
Told you it was something stupid 😛

Steven

Thank you my dear LS.
You are ALWAYS very kind!
Nikos.

@Reaper58th:

Has to do with the custom airbases in Balkans. Nothing you can do against it AFAIK 😞

good to know.
Hope it gets fixed in the future somewhere. Our sqn would love to permanently move from Kunsan to Aviano, but this is not optimal for human ATC.

@Arty:

Oh ok.

I’m getting ready to release an update. I’ll take a look and see if I can find an airbase that has 25 spots but if I can’t find one, I’ll see if I can add more spawn points

🙂 🙂 🙂 ooooppps C9! Sorry

You cant tlktool or tlkutil or tlkview with AF tlk with any of ‘our’ tool available, need new tool I’m afraid.
I’ve been trying to ‘steal’ (edit) those sound for few years now 😄 - tried lot’s of things, no success.

But, there is trunk source for tlktool available online so someone with better understanding of computer language can easily rewrite it for use.
http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/lightningstools/trunk/

This is what I know about AF tlk , it uses LZSS compression (as all falcons), it has more voices so every sound in db is larger for 1 voice.
(so instead of 14 it can have 15 voices per sound)

<fragfile><frag id="0"><speaker voice="0" tlkid="0"><speaker voice="1" tlkid="1"><speaker voice="2" tlkid="2"><speaker voice="3" tlkid="3"><speaker voice="4" tlkid="4"><speaker voice="5" tlkid="5"><speaker voice="6" tlkid="6"><speaker voice="7" tlkid="7"><speaker voice="8" tlkid="8"><speaker voice="9" tlkid="9"><speaker voice="10" tlkid="10"><speaker voice="11" tlkid="11"><speaker voice="12" tlkid="12"><speaker voice="13" tlkid="13"><speaker voice="14" tlkid="14"></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></speaker></frag></fragfile>

It is ms adpcm codec , mono, 4bit., 22050hz. block align 512b.
…Tlktool uses wav, speex(ogg) and L&H , but unfortunately not this specific ms/ima adpcm - wav implementation.
This can be also easily rewritten. This codec is part of windows from … 95/98? … That is why LP used it , why bother with L&H or speex ? Not that you gain so much
in disk/mem space advantage , especially today. - and it was free 🙂

Fortunately, eval/frag/commfile.bin are prefectly readable and writable (compatible 🙂 ) by tlktool fully , converting: bin->xml and vice versa
Maybe some ‘good soul’ can even re-write tlkview , so we could have simple gui , …
Like I said problem is the codec and different tlk database , but not so big problem, I guess.
TlkView can even open the damned thing , but fails miserably on playing audio(codec), and cant read additional voices, bigger database (tlk).

I would be trying to disassemble the damn thing but cant beat lzss compression , but, that should be easy because I think it is the same compression used fot .cam/tac files.

Good luck
WF

or mayber try to contact bald-eagle if around , probably have the tool but can’t say for sharing…
