So from the changelog, it seems you fix the campaign as well, especially paths and ground units. Is this campaign winnable now?

only had a few minutes to fly around tonight after downloading, but gotta say it looks amazing!!
Thanks to all who worked on this and made it available to everyone.
Can’t wait to try out a campaign next week when I have some time.

Downloaded, installed and tested, so here are my first observations:
I get a significant FPS drop; from my usual mid-30s to below 20, even in the Basic Handling TE, with no enemy flights or troops. Well, this may be due to my not particularly efficient GPU (Radeon HD 6570 with 13.1 drivers) if the terrain textures are of higher resolution.
Secondly, at times the sky turns black, still with traces of cirrus clouds. It happens (not always) when I look up or just raise the plane’s nose, after a while the normal colours are restored.
Finally, after a mission I had to wait an unusually long time before the debriefing screen appeared. At first I even thought the program froze.
I hadn’t experienced any of the above symptoms with any previous version of the Balkans. Any suggestions?Your hard work is appreciated nonetheless.

Same here.
Anyway, I would like to thank the dev team of new balknas. -
hi all,
I want to share my experience with balkans v3 as well1- Wow, what a blast! The ‘wow’ is what I heard a lot on our TS channel while discovering the new version of the theater. Really amazing, his is a huge improvement in visuals! Compared to other texture packs I tried, this one looks good even at high altitude, perfect! Check the vids, this is how it looks for real
2- some of us indeed experienced some drop in fps due to the hirez photo textures. Nothing as important as what I read just above, but you can anticipate some drop, varying depending on your hardware. (i have a core2 duo 3ghz and a gx660 and am still above 45fps in the campaign)
3- stability: overall good. We did sometimes experience some rare freezes, like exiting a mission and having to wait for the 2d to display again. Conditions not yet clearly identified so we will investigate a bit before reporting to the devs
So the global impression after first day: fantastic, try it!
Cheers

You need to go into your X:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\terrain folder and delete the existing files named Terrain, the .HDR, .BIL, .NRM, .SBI, and .TID after you install these files.
-
That’s why I posted my observations… in a faint hope that someone would come up with a cunning trick solving at least part of the problem
Your assistance is greatly appreciated, Fighting Falcon. I did as you’d suggested. Some FPS hit is still visible but not nearly to a degree it occurred before; what’s more important, the simulation now isn’t jerky at all and there are no side effects like the black sky I encountered previously. And flying over the beautiful terrain is sheer pleasure…

Is this the complete Blalkans Theater, or just a update?
-
Anyone a idea why BMS crashes with Balkans 3.0 in 7 of 10 cases when I hit the “Recon” button in 2D Card and in the other 3 times it takes up to 2 minutes until the reconscreen is comming?

I always got this “not responding” problem after the first mission after installing any version of Balkans, but goes away after first mission for me. I think it has something to do with the config file.

Hi,
I already asked this question, but did not receive some answer yet. Apology for repeating the question.
Is V3 fix the ground unit so that it will move and capture the objectives, thus make the campaign winnable?
P.S. I have problem with long load time when quit the mission to return to 2D as well.
-
Are there any mirrors for the install? I’ve tried numerous times over a couple days to get it at the link, and it transfers extremely slowly, and then fails.

… same for me, just 1st time. After that flawless on my rig. No issues with campaign missions at all.

Me the same.

Great job guys. Everything from the installer, the into movies to the lifelike terrain showns an amazing level of professionalism. I tip my hat to your dedication and skill. I can’t wait to start a Balkans campaign when RL allows permits.

I haven’t saw any intro movies. Which intro you speaking about?
