Balkans Theater for Falcon BMS 4.35
-
Ok, some more info so it can (if possible and it’s not just me) be reproduced…
New Balance of Power Campaign - Veteran
Brnik AB, 22nd Sq,
Set by HQ
Choose 05:36:45 Sweep Pkg 897, Jackal3 (as lead)
Loadout:
4 - AIM-120C Amraam
4 - AGM-154C JSOW
1 - AN\AAQ-33 Sniper pod
2 - 600 GL drop tanks
Update kneeboard in WDP
Commit to TAXI
In pit, “Icer joined as Jackal31 at 05:31:45” on screen, no sound, screen identical to above
Frozen, need Task Manger to kill BMSWent back in, loaded the 05:56:45 Sweep, all went perfectly, ended mission, no issues at all (except ATC calls you to taxi to Runway 13… its actually 12).
Exited to Desktop, restarted, back in to the 06:53:25 Sweep Pkg 1012, same loadout, took off fine and froze at 07:01:56 as I was circling SP3 (Holding point). Still had sound, needed task Manger to exit…
Can you look and see if there are any interception flights in you area? Do you have a crash log? Can you post the mission?

Hey sorry if this has already been brought up, but shouldn’t we not have the AIM-9X in the campaigns since they entered service in 2003? Otherwise this is my favorite theater/set of campaigns to use
I added them in the event the pilot wants to use them. The problem is that I would have to double the F-16 database. One database for old style and one for new style. Probably won’t happen for 4.35

Cougar - no crash log for the CTD, how do I look to see if there are “Interception flights in the area” as game is frozen solid, you mean in 2D before I commit? Below is a screenshot of the mission planning in 2D, clock advanced to 6 minn before TO, I have all aircraft groups showing. I saved it at this point and zipped all the files into my DropBox, file is here.

Okya, that is new … I think I managed to reproduce what @Icer is talking about … really FREEZE . but you need to wait 1-2min then it unfreezes itself … really…
It is like you hit, not pause then the other “pause/freeze” mode, just it happens itself.
It happened when I was returning back to carrier to land, after a “short” (60-90min) campaign mission. , was already on final.
Doesn’t happen everytime, first I flew brand new campaign mission, (Balance of power) F16AM from Pula… everything peachy, bomb the hell out radar at Kriz, lost 3 by SA2, got back to Pula… no problem.
But then I tried continuing my old(4.35.u1) campaign save , AV8b+ from Wasp LHD , bomb the hell out of AA battalion, coming back low on fuel , I broke the marshal sequence, 1500lbs left. and 3-5nm from LHD sim literally froze like it would if hit that pause/freeze mode ,… strange… but , no panic , just left it there as it is , after 1-2mins it started again normally…
On final , ~1.5nm , it happened again, this time seemed little longer ~2mins … again patience … and yes it started again normally … landed safely , … but then that bloody BUG happened :
Even your speed is 20-30kts when you touchdown on LHD, vertically , Harrier (AV8b+) gets some kind of acceleration and starts skidding over the deck, applied brakes but not sufficient , applied even parking brake … ejected just before running over front of the deck and …splash/kaboom.
But…, ended the mission normally. , great success, it didn’t even account for ejection and RS … => status: OK / Excellent … right…
So… this needs further inquiry, … I guess both bugs (freeze and LHD skidding) are not theater related … I GUESS… need to test in KTO.
… and for the flights, yes it seems there are subsequently much less opposition flights on map… checked with MC , there are like 5-6 of them in flight , but then again I’m on day3 , this will still need to look at …
…edit… meh, just remembered that I’ll see all in MC… yes there are QRA flights , … now is day3/02:09:43 … and there are QRA flights scheduled at 2:25 , 2:27 , 2:30… etc … so yeah it seems legit

Another question……is this a campaign that was started in Update 1? If so, did you convert it?

****,… I forgot… will do. … aaaah, that’s why I got unknown weapon for unit in xlog /
Check previous post again . I added for QRA fights… anyway seems they are generating OK.
—aaah, now I figured, TLDR … it isn’t about QRA flights , but his (@Icer) SWEEP he gets strange loadout , 4xJSOW-C … yeah… something got mixed up …

Thanks. Looking awsome with U2.

The freeze in flight I waited ~2 minutes with no response… Again, fresh Balkans 4.35.2 campaign mission. As for KTO, zero issues in 4 missions so far.
Edit: 7 Campaign missions in Korea KTO, no issues.

I never had any freezing in the 2D world but I was getting them (almost up to 2 minutes) around the FLOT area and then after that I would get intermittent pauses all the way home. So I just used MC and reduced the ground objects are there are just too many and thus far I have zero freezes. (crossing fingers it stays that way).

I found an issue with Brnik airbase that was not allowing the player to join the 3D world. The sim would sit in pie 2 and not move any further. I fixed that as an attempt to fix the issue in post #147. As for the freezing…I am going to use this as an attempted fix. I have re-compiled the update. This update is only an update and should be installed over top of the current Balkans build. This update will change the revision to 329. That being said just to make sure there is a foundation to start from, this update is everything that was put into update 2 from the last Balkans release which was revision 283. This update will get you current from revision 283 to revision 329. I would like to have people test this out for me before I build a full installer again and let me know how it works.
If you have not installed the Balkans theater in a while, I would get the full installer and this update. Run the full installer first and then the update. I will work on removing units but this is not a very easy task.
Go to the first post in this thread to download the update.

Go to the first post in this thread to download the update.THANK you for your work Cougar! I will apply the update and report back, LOVE this theater and hope to be back flying it! As for number of units, have they been substantially increased since 4.34.4 (which I went back to -Balkans of course- due to 4.35.1 instability)? I can’t see my system, with 64GB of memory and 24GB of video memory, on an i9-9900k, being humbled by the number of units? Korea KTO at the outset of Tiger Spirit on Ace or veteran, is LOADED with units… but WTH do I know!
EDIT: Started a new BoP campaign, ran the same 5:36 SWEEP, was great fun and went perfectly (well, except my Element got themselves SAM’d down low) and picked up an Air Medal to boot! Only weirdness was a 1 second flash as I was taxiing to runway 30 (ATC is calling out 31?) just as I was about to turn right at the end of the taxiway, runway turned black and I think the lines disappeared also). No freeze, and it went back to normal immediately. Ran the 6:53 BAI just now, worked perfectly! No pauses or stutters. The graphic flash on the taxiway is there in this mission also, noticed when I stopped at the threshold and I looked left (TIR) you can see the lack of taxiway also, just a dark patch of ground…

Icer and Cougar,
I’m continuing to test 4.25.2 Balkans, with no issues at all( (I’ve flown off carrier and Palese). I do have a couple of things about B U2 installation.
The first is that when I went to download it the link didn’t work. However, when I copied the link and ran it in a separate tap, it ran fine.
The second is I can’t get my pc to “see” the new build. I’ve tried putting it in 4.35 base, as per the instructions, in Balkans data, and in the existing Balkans folder. Also, although the instruction say to let them overwrite, I didn’t get the “requesting permission” window I usually get in such things.
My build is 23835 -

My build is 23835Hey compadre, not sure what you mean? Are you not seeing the Balkan’s theater listed after the U2 update? My BMS version is 4.35.2 (x64) BUILD 23835, same as yours. I simply ran the “Balkans_Theater_4.35.2_Udate_1.exe” and all was well. One oddity about the initial Balkans install (on my system) is that it appends the “Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Balkans.tdf” line on to the end of the last “Add-On” line in the theater.lst file instead of creating a new line, and AL & BMS do not “see” the Balkans theater until I fix it by placing it on it’s own line, but as you say you have been using Balkans 4.35.2 I don’t believe the update touches that. Barring that I would run the Balkans uninstaller and reinstall the Balkans theater and then the update.

Hi, Icer,
If your build is also 23835, I’m good. I was just under the impression that 4.25.2 Update 1 made a new build.
Anyway, it’s working perfectly, and that includes after modding with the Mafia Stuff.
So, lets me say again, thanks Cougar for what has been my go-to theater for quite a while! -
Ehi there, fra’.
If you may have fixed your installation (so I wish you), I’m already here waiting for you, you lazy lad.
So did you took off, from Palese, near Bari I mean? Strange how I haven’t noticed that.But if not… please give a call, I’ll see what I will be able to help you.
Take care. With best regards.

Hi
will TE´s created with Balkans Theater Update 1.5 (14319.0283) work with Balkans Theater 4.35.2 Update 1 (14383.0329) ? -
