@drtbkj Here you go, should have everything from the logs, all the autosave files, and a brief description of the crash, screenshot etc. If you need more, I have the mission saved and can reproduce the data as many times as needed. Let me know if you need anything else

Good day, mate.
@drtbkj
Task accomplished. TEs (and new customized “ppt.ini” file) already updated, tested and sent to you.
Ah, one more matter: would you kindly see what’s possible to do and fix, once for all, those Japanese airbases I perhaps already remarked as owned (wrong) by PRC in the 2D map? How annoying that. And they are flagged as “Japanese” in Mission Commander correctly, so there is nothing useful to do with it. Bah.With best regards to all.
Hi Gianni. How did you send the TE’s to me?
By email, Joe. Or so I thought, at least.
If you haven’t it yet, please tell me and I will find a way to make you get all those right away.With best regards, Fra’.
I haven’t seen them . Go ahead and put them in the OFM Discord BMS-Dev channel–https://discord.com/channels/797936162638659594/1041760917169381436
Fine.
But if unsucessful I’d going to send them straight to Ed as an alternative, I’m telling that in advance.
Most important: am I granted to access to that channel, by the matter? I have bad feelings about it.Thanks, Joe, and with best regards.
(ahem… update: I was obliged to send again all those per email - to that common address you gave me a few days ago - due a stubborn Discord internal error, so please Ed or yourself check your new emails there.)

If there’s any plan for the new file structure of WDP for added theaters, I’m a taker.
Hi, Lorik. I can tell you that WDP(and MC) compatibility is something we test pre-release. By and large, we’re pretty successful getting it to run.
Haha I’m posting this because we’re running a custom campaign in Taiwan. I came to understand WDP needs to be fed with a list of airports data. Tedious work. Won’t do it, we can live without it.
Firstly, let me say honestly that we are honored you are flying our stuff. As for WDP, I just double-checked and except that the kneeboard map shows Korea, it all works fine.

@drtbkj Thank you. Well, to me this is pretty much like “except it doesn’t work, it works”.
Added the map and the theater.xml in WDP, so we can have a coloured map at least. Now there are all the other files in that folder, to have the home plates list for instance, and all the consecutive information on the 2nd left sheet, like TACAN, frequencies… That’s what I’m talking about. Maybe don’t you use it usually, we do.
I use the Taiwan stations file as a texture for kneeboards instead.

Good Day, All. I am very happy to present a Pak of custom TE’s made by Brother Jackal. You just drop them into the Taiwan campaign folder and enjoy!

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/etbs2k0yu307l/Taiwan+custom+TEs+and+pptThanks a lot for your kind appreciation, Joe.
To all of you, Gentlemen:
just hope that customized “ppt.ini” will come useful in your briefings and in flight as well, please take the time to use it (hint, hint).With best regards to all.

@drtbkj Thank you for your hard work. Would you please also provide a torrent file for OFM-Taiwan? I can’t open the Google Drive or the Mediafire link without VPN. Many thanks.

Hi, Bluesharp. I’m sorry but we don’t have Torrent capability. Would a Mega link work? I’m told you should be able to download Mediafire through a vpn. What exact problems are you having?

Great theater but a few small issues.
F-22 does not carry Meteor missiles. Stealth fighters like F-22 and J-20 would not carry external stores for combat missions as it ruins stealth. Weapon loads should be same as Korea.
J-11 and Su-27S are missing R-77 missiles and should not have Harm missiles. Should be same as Korea. Or you could have Su-27S with no R-77 but still should not have Harms. J-10 and J-16 should not have Sparrows and Sidewinders.
And my AIM-120D is doing Mach 8… lol. That might be a bit too fantasy.

@Hubert3000 Hello,
I have no ties with this theater, but when I designed the Su-27 that is used by OFM-Taiwan, only Ukraine variant was supposed to have Harm capability. This is what was made in stock BMS.
For J-20 that is also mine, yes and no. In some cases, external payload is possible for war operations, if stealth is not what is most needed. In this case, J-20 shall be used as a PL15/PL12 shooting plateform. I even got some infos about accurate pylons that I modeled with my J-20.

Low intensity conflict against an opponent with no airforce maybe.
-
@Hubert3000 Most war operations are nowadays no stealth involved anyway !
-
J-8 PRC has SA-8 RWR symbology…
Symbol is 41, not 12. And sound 89.
-
@Hubert3000 I was wondering why air-air is so easy lol. Another issue is that there are multiple SA-10 batteries with the same name (multiple 14th air defense battalion) for example. Also multiple cities with the same name (in the same vicinity)

Hi, Hubert.
Several months ago, we did a lot of testing with long range missiles, specifically the AIM-120D, which I’ll discuss in minute. In that testing, we were comparing and contrasting the Meteor,Phoenix, and Slammer-D. The F-22 was one of our “test aircraft”, so that’s why it can carry that.
Your statement does raise a good point. We of the OFM do try to be as realistic as possible (though some may deny that ) but we do like to give the BMS membership “other options” in things like weapons carriage. We’re not insulted, though, if you don’t use them. There is another factor, as well. Knowing that the BMS membership can and does personalize their loadouts, we generally do not make Theater specific jets. The BMS Editor is very good for adding or subtracting what you want.
Your AIM-120D comment is valid. Yep, she’s fast. If memory serves, in order to get the range and Pk needed we had to compromise on speed. In some previous Theaters we had actually included all 3 of our primary models, you could select the one you wanted. We didn’t get any feedback on that, so now we just include what we think is the best compromise. Also, our development of missiles, and our jets, is an ongoing process. So, the Final Word has not yet been spoken.
As for external carriage on Stealth aircraft…
-
Beast mode lol. F-35 in that configuration would not be stealthy. When do you think they might use a configuration like that?
For missions where stealth is critical, such as high intensity conflict. Stealth fighters would operate in full stealth configuration which would be no external stores. They don’t go to all the trouble of building very very expensive stealth aircraft with internal weapons bays for no reason.
Missions where stealth is not critical they may use external stores but that would not be in a high intensity conflict such as USA vs China. Afghanistan maybe. BMS Korea has it right as the BMS guys know what they are doing. Just my 2c. -
@Hubert3000 Hi. As Radium said, Ops don’t always require Stealth. Sometimes it’s all about maximizing ordinance on target. Your question is interesting and something I’ve been flying and testing lately in the F-35C. Basically, what loadout is best for the mission. For a long range strike , for example. Do you carry the a/g externally and a/a internally so you can drop the bombs quickly then have a fully stealthy a/a fighter? Or, do you carry less a/g internally for max stealth? On a DEAD mission, max stealth is good, but what if there are Bandits and you run out of missiles?
That is what is fun if you plan your own missions. You have to factor the mission and the possible threats. -
Hi there
I get a CTD when flying in the campaign - approx 4-5 minutes into a mission. The game stutters two or three times and then goes back to the desktop without any error or crash notifications.
I have noticed I get a quick chirp on the RWR at the same time and this happened in 1.5 and 1.7.3.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Good Day, All. We’ve been busy lately but work continues. I wanted to pass along a tip if you happen to get a ctd in an OFM Theater, especially if it’s an “Airplane Class” error in the crash log text… Go into Mission Commander and delete all F-35A squadrons and flights.
We suspect there’s something in that jet’s FM that BMS isn’t liking . We’re looking for a more long term solution
