Balkans 4.33.1.1 Update 1.2
-
I have updated some items with the Balkans since I released Balkans 1.1. The main part of this update is the tile update for the new airbases so the polarity is visible on parts of the airbase. Here is a list below of what has been updated.
• Updates tiles for Amendola, Aviano, Cervia, Pescara, Istrana, Gio Del Colle, Sigonella, Lecce, Rivolto
• Adds Pilot only legs to the .LOD file….(see pages in readme file in the Add-On Balkans/Docs folder for parent numbers)
• Fixed skin on City Town 3
• Adds Balkans version number in the .tdf file. Should say 1.2
• Fixes 8019.dds (Kneepad texture) to have Balkans information on it. (It still needs to be updated though)Campaign and .Tac files were not updated so you don’t need to update your Missions.
I noticed that if I already have Balkans Theater 4.33.1.1 installed and run the update that at night Aviano looks weird. That is because it still has tiles that it doesn’t need in the install. THIS IS ONLY IF YOU UPDATED FROM 4.33.1.1 TO 1.2. If you just installed the 4.33.1.2 BUILD main build then you do not need to do this….
Go into your Data/Add-On Balkans/Terrdata/Texture/Texture folder.
Find the following files…and delete them (If you have the main build of Balkans 4.33.1.2, you wont have the files in there so you don’t need to worry about this.)
HAVIA10AN.dds

CTD when I try to load Balkans Theater at the Theater menu…I did a new install with this version; was I supposed to load this over something else?

dawgboy: you should have full 1.1 version installed (Add-On Balkans folder in the BMS/Data folder). Then, when you run the 1.2 update, you need to point the self-extractor (.exe file from the zip package) to the BMS root directory.
I’ve just updated to 1.2 and launched a number of TE missions; everything works just fine.Oh, the TE’s were those made for 1.1, so 1.2 maintains compatibility.

-
Hehe, I could, but I don’t think you’d be interested in those TEs, as they are rather simple missions involving test flights of the flyable aircraft. I do that to compare their respective FMs, practise landing, play with various weather conditions etc.

When you are looking through the TGP or Maverick display without this update you can’t really make out the main objects such as runway, buildings, taxiway, etc because the “ground portion” of the airbases (new airbases) is an object too and would should the same color as the other objects. The ground portion is now tiles which allows you to make out objects better without going into TV mode.

….or instead of getting the update just grab the full theater again. File name Balkans Theater 4.33.1.2.exe

4.33.1c1 is obsolete now. Use 4.33.1.1 and update it to 4.33.1.2 or just download 4.33.1.2 from the main link and get the whole thing at once.

Thank you very very much Cougar!!! Pilot Legs are a must for me!!! Now the cockpit will be perfect and very usefull!!!

Well remember, the Balkans kneepad, is not accurate. Someone is currently working on that.

For me is not a problem to wait it, we use our own kneeboard with all info related to our train… anyway, I’ll wait it because you’re doing a great great job Cougar!! Thank you very much!!

Thanks, Coug. And more for all your/your team’s SH work on this theater.

Thanks a lo from me too, Cougar.
Until Bari Palese won’t be called ‘Lezhe’(too similar to Lecce) any longer, all things will go fine and us Baresi won’t be angry :lol:

Hi! take a look here. A piece of the skin is “unskinned” both sides.

Gianni my friend,
From version 1.1 of Balkans theater, all airports names are updated/corrected.That means that Bari airport already has its correct name “Palese” ;).

Campaign and .Tac files were not updated so you don’t need to update your Missions.
:bowd: Good news…

Nikos.Dearest Greek bro,
I was not talking seriously there.
I already knew it because I have noticed since the first time the BMS Balkans dev. team changed that issue I referred so many times in vain in the past. The same I did for Gioia del Colle, to tell one among all the many other mistakes about Italian cities and towns’ names done until today.But I had a chance to joke a little and didn’t miss it - I think you sure know that Bari and Lecce are competitors since always for the title of the main and the best city in Apulia, my Region.
And this is history and positively not a joke :lol: (or at least until we Baresi and Leccesi wouldn’t decide to get rid of this relic one of these days, huh)Thanks for your kind usual attention.
With best regards, -
I found some charts are missing and not correspond to the Balkans MAIP table of contents; in this table appears for AVIANO :
Pag 15 .- SID RW 05
Pag 16 .-SID RW 23and the page 15 shows VIC 6A dep. and page 16 shows VIC 6B dep. so both SID are missing.
Since we are flying a Campaign from aviano and the old SIDs from versión before are changed and not correspond with the actual charts, we would appreciate if you could issue the missing charts and correct the original document.
Thank you very much for your excelent work

Hi there.
Well I can’t understand your thinking.
At latest Balkans theater v1.1 the navigation charts updated. So into the “Docs” folder there is the latest MAIP pdf file that is the latest nav. charts, that has date at 1st page of “3 September 2016”.
If you have that MAIP pdf file, then your nav. charts for Balkans theater are current and updated. Also there is NO mismatch between the table of contents and the pages of nav. charts!
Now based to this pdf file, in page 15 you have ALL the departure charts from RWY 05 of Aviano airbase! Means also included the VIC 6A! And NOT only the VIC 6A departure chart.
Also at page 16 you have ALL the departure charts from RWY 23 of Aviano airbase! Means also included the VIC 6B! And NOT only the VIC 6B departure chart.
No chart is missing!
Obviously you are confused. Take a good look and you will find all the nav. charts that are available with the latest Balkans theater version ;).
Nikos.
