Balkans 4.33 Update 3.6
-
I have no version of Balkan Theater in my BMS. I ask what is the right installation procedure if I do not want to use JanHas models? I’m a little lost…

Go to the main sticky Balkans theatre thread and install the complete version 3.6 at 1st post. 1.73gb download. The JanHas is an available update. Still optional I believe. ??

If you do not want to use the JanHas models,
Install the main 1.7 GB installer, then install the Balkans 3.6 alternate.
If you want to use the JanHas models, just install the full installer.

Hey Ghostdog,
Check your PM….
Can you send me your texture.bin file from your install?
Hi cougar56th,
It seems like the issue is persisting for those who installed the HD textures. Another player was able to reproduce the issue and he has the 3.6 HD textures. Other players without those textures seem to be fine.
Thanks for your help!

Please, don’t. I rely heavily on your alternate updates, and I believe I’m not the only one. In the update release thread everything is clearly marked and the differences explained.
It’s not only about eye-candy, nice textures , ALT version use original falcon flight models , well known and tweaked for years … and,
JanHas version uses his own , new flight models which had few bugs till recently , and are still improving, but I’ll wait 3-4 falcon years. -
Also cougar, those were just some inside jokes. Two weeks in a row people crashed in that spot.
No disrespect to you.
Everyone here knows Balkans theater is the best. -

Everyone here knows Balkans theater is the best.No problem man. I’ll take a look at the hi res textures tonight. I’m not sure why that file would be in there, but if it is, I’ll remove it and re-upload them.

I just installed the Hi-Res Textures and taxied over that spot on the left, center, and right side of the taxiway and everything worked fine with no crashes.
I have re-uploaded the Hi Res Textures…(the link is in the first post of this thread), but nothing in that download should effect the gear collapse at Aviano. This is because they are files in the KoreaObj folder and those files are the skin textures for all the objects. They are just picture files. The only thing they have to do with the objects it that they give them texture. They should not cause the gear to collapse. I would suggest re-installing Balkans 3.6 and then putting the Hi-Res Textures on top if you arent using the alternate update.

Textures can’t do sh*** terrain wise , no holes, ho hills, they’re just “paint” on the surface, model.
Cougar, what could be wrong, you’ve never deleted those 5 calculated elevation/terrain files after terrain.bin/thr/l2 update, which is a must to re-calculate you changes to changed files.
Here’s what I mean: (original post from 2012, search forum, this is for Korea, but the same applies for any theater)Yes, those 5 files should be removed everytime you save l2 or after any changes in terrain editor, another thing I suggest it's to set 'plains' category when you create a new set so you save time if you're editing an airport zone. del "d:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\terrain\TERRAIN.BIL" del "d:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\terrain\TERRAIN.HDR" del "d:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\terrain\TERRAIN.NRM" del "d:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\terrain\TERRAIN.SBI" del "d:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\terrain\TERRAIN.TID"

I have a bug to report with pilot body and legs setup. When I edit in "Add-On Balkans/Art/ckptart/F-16CM-40/3dckpit.dat’ and for cockpitmodel2 the default parameters 3089 by the parameter 2797 (which is the one to use according to the readme), I have effectively the body and leg of the pilot but I lose the functionality of the needles of many instruments (not visible anymore). By reverting the parameter number it works again. Any fix for having pilot body and leg working?

You mean like this?
That’s normal, you need to move your head to see everything. -
Hi Cougar. I’ve installed the Full Installer 3.6 version and all is fine. Into Theater UI section i read 3.6. Then i l’ve installed the Alternate version and now i read 3.5. Why?

I’ll have to check the installer. The .tdf file may have never been updated on the alternate. No biggie if it isn’t. Your install should still be 3.6. I’ll check later today

last weekend I updated from Balkans 3.5 to 3.6. I used the upgrade with JanHas models.
This afternoon i flew the first night mission in a new campaign and I noticed some panels graphics got messed up when turning up the primary instrument pnl lights. Floodlights work fine.
I did not have this problem in 3.5.
Does anybody else experience this? Or should i just perform a fresh install?
I’m using the RNLAF Mlu F-16Thanks!
-
Huuuh… I would go for fresh install, rather then torturing yourself what went wrong , . You have at least mixed up night textures with normal , but from some different plane or F16 version.
Probably you can ‘refresh’ only textures and database files (hdr file) … but don’t take this for real cure. If using JanHas models, you should update and Sim directory, his .dat models are different, but watch ur neck:rofl:
-
Yeah figured that. I thought I had seen the problem somewhere in the forum before, did a search and could not find it, so……
Will try a reinstall this weekend [emoji1303] -
@Chiang:
Hi, everybody
The Balkans is a very beautiful theather, but the enemy’s fighter planes are very outdated: Mig29A, Mig21, etc
Is that possible to include more modern planes like Su-27, Mig-31, Mig-29M, Mig-35, Su-34, Su-35, etc?
Thank you!Yes it is possible. If someone wants to set up a more modern campaign by all means go ahead but I cant work on it right now. My list is kind of full.
