Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
-
Does anyone know how to display the Balkans splash screens that are used for entering and leaving the 3D world. They are in the “Balkans-Add on, Art” directory? In the ITO theater, the splash screens are different. How can I use the Balkans splash screens. Thanks.

Go into your \Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition folder, open the Balkans.tdf file in Wordpad or Notepad.
At the bottom there is this entry:
ckptart dir
#cockpitdir Add-On Balkans\Art\ckptart
Remove the # from the second line/entry and save the file.

Hello BlueRaven, I had the same exact problem as you are having. What I did to get it working was to install both versions of ffdshow (32 and 64bit) and on installation, was to select all options on install. I also didn’t need the K-Lite pack, I got videos playing in both KTO and Balkans, if you need further help you can
contact cougar56th.Thanks mate, I’ll try and keep you informed!

Great work guys, but a heads up installing the tree fix seems to drop some of the tiles’ texture for some of the ones that have 3d object trees, see attached pics. This is the default Instant Action area FWIW. I confirmed that it was the tree fix by reinstalling Balkans 4.33 and checking the tiles were correct and then reinstalling the tree fix and these textures were gone again.

Open explorer in \Add-On-Balkans\Terrdata\terrain
and delete those files:TERRAIN.BIL,TERRAIN.HDR,TERRAIN.NRM,TERRAIN. SBI,TERRAIN.TID.Then try Balkans again and see if that helps.
Report back please.
Cheers,

LSDeleted, did not fix the untextured tiles.

is there a fix that takes the vehicles off the runway? I reinstalled the theater and all what that did was to take them from the center and place them at the end of the runway. Now I am colliding on takeoff once and on landing another time.

Maybe do a re-install. You may have had an older version of the Balkans.

There is not a fix yet as there isn’t much I can do about vehicles on the runway. It is a Falcon issue and has been for a while. Best I can say is go around them.
Just out of curiousity though, can you tell me which campaign, what time (campaign time) and which base you are at and which squadron.
Thanks

I’m installing with Balkans_433.exe created 31 Oct. 2015, and the Airbase fix is Balkans_433_Airbase_Fix.exe created 6 Dec. 2015. Again, I don’t get the untextured tiles until I install the Airbase fix and re-installing the original Balkans_433.exe fixes it again.

it is the first campaign, airfield is Gioia del colle. and it is the same one even after the reinstall. First the line of vehicles were at the center, after reinstalled it is placed at the end of the runway. Other fields are fine.

You need to re download the Balkans from the first link. I updated it. The Balkans theater you have is the old one.

I’m not able to duplicate. I will continue to look at it.

Hi Osmeen - you can tell the vehicles to move aside.
On the interactive map, just click the bataillon to see its status.
There, remove the check at “Set by HQ”. Now, you can drag their steerpoint to somewhere else. As soon as they are on their way, you may drag the steerpoint circle back again.
If you’re lucky, they will end up in a better position than before. I was. -
Anybody have any TEs for Balkans 4.33 they are willing to share? Thanks in advance!

Could use some help. I followed the install instructions and am seeing all the files in the places I think I should be seeing them. I then added the line in notepad as instructed and it’s in there. All seems fine, but I don’t have the theater in the list once I start the sim. I then reinstalled. Oddly, the line I added on the first install in notepad was still there in the theater.lst file.
Any ideas on what I can check or do to get the Balkans to show up in the theater list so I can select?
