Balkans 4.33 Update 3.6
-
Hey guys here is another update for you all. This one incorporates JanHas F-16 models, creates surface ALSF and MALSR lighting where needed and updates some minor stuff.
This update can go right over top of what you already have installed.
Here is the changelog for updates 3.1 to 3.6
- Removed trees from Aviano Airbase around Taxiway A, A1 causing human pilots to blow up - Removed trees from Gio Del Colle RWY 14R causing human pilots to blow up - Removed trees from Casale RWY 15 just past the intersection causing human pilots to blow up - Fixed graphical anomoly by Amendola. Water tile was darker than the rest of the tiles - Removed trees from RWY 26 side of Capodichino AB. Trees were in the approach path - Looked at Pula for reported trees on the flightline and did not see any...Need more info on that - Updated Balance of Power trigger file....save0.tri....removed objective number 393 (Zagreb City). This is because Croatian forces hold it by the time the campaign is finished and the campaign continues if it is in the trigger file if NATO controls it. It still has to be captured by Allied forces though - Updated 05_23 RVR 2 Airport...was showing RWY 05L on both runways...updated the texture to 05R - Created an approach procedure for Gioia del Colle and updated the NavAids and the MAIP charts by Nikos - Updated the kneemaps by "jomla" - Added Kneemaps folder to the Docs folder....user can choose between 3 different kneemaps. - Added Taxiway sign C on Aviano Airbase RWY 23 side - Updated the stations+ils.dat file to match the updated NavAirds an MAIP charts - Changed Balkans.tdf file to say "BMS 4.33 Balkans Theater 3.1" instead of "BMS 4.33 Balkans Theater 3.0" - Re-positioned 08_26, 26_08 and 12_30 airbases to place them more on the airbase tiles - Decreased amount of trees/grass around all airbases....hopefully this will fix the ground crashes issues - Updated Balkans MAIP.pdf by Nikos - Fixed elevation issue at Practica di Mare Airbase - Updated some terrain tile on generic airbases to have a tile that fits it. 32_14 for example - Adjusted some road paths around airbases. Hopefully will keep ground units from moving through the airbase - Updated Balkans.tdf file to say version 3.2 - Removed more trees from 08_26 runways....reported "holes" at Pula and Grobnicko Polje Airports. - Removed trees from MIRIM airports.....reported trees on 08 side of Zemunik Airbase - Updated F-16 3D cockpits for MLUs, Block 40, Block 42, Block 50, Block 52 and Block 52 HAF - Updated F-16 3D cockpit textures for same blocks. The MLU and HAF F-16s now have the neon green with some white backlighting instead of the neon blue. - Fixed some terrain tiling issues around Pula and other areas. Tiles got messed up in 3.2...fixed now - Updated Balkans tdf file to say version 3.2 - [b]3.4 Updates[/b] [color] - Updated the following F-16s to the new JanHas models.....F-16CM-52, F-16 Fuel Tank and Pylons, F-16C-52+ CFT, F-16C-52+ EAF, F-16C-42, KF-16C, F-16AM RNLAF, F-16AM RNoAF, F-16AM BE, F-16AM RDAF, F-16AM RJAF, F-16CM Block 50, and F-16CM Block 40 - Fixed missing text in lcktxtrc.txt - Updated Balkans MAIP - Updated Balkans tdf file to say version 3.4 [/color][b]- 3.5 Updates[/b][color] [i]- [/i]Removed hidden trees from Aviano - Created surface ALS and updated the ALS at all photoreal airports where needed. - Moved the VORTAC station of Galatina airbase at the real position. - Deleted the double ALS at the default airport type with RWY 11/29. - Updated the NavAids and their list. - Updated Balkans tdf file to say version 3.5 [/color][b]- 3.6 Updates[/b][color] - Another attempt to fix the tree/grass issue off Taxiway A at Aviano.

Here is the link for the update……
link removed….you have to download the full install
Balkans 4.33 Update 3.6 Hi-Resolution Textures (606 MB)**Note: If you choose to use the Hi Resolution Textures, make sure you install update 3.6 first, then install the textures. Balkans Update 3.6 Alternate (394 MB)**Some guys with lower end machines might experience a FPS drop that is not to their liking. If that is the case, here is an alternate Balkans 3.6 update. The only thing that is different between the 3.6 update and the 3.6 alternate update are the updated F-16 models. The alternate update does not have them installed since those are the cause of the FPS. Make sure you install the full install first and then install this over top of it.Please make sure you have the Same ACDATA Files Required UNCHECKED in the config editor while using the 3.6 or 3.6 alternate update.**

Please make sure you have the Same ACDATA Files Required UNCHECKED in the config editor while using the 3.6 or 3.6 alternate update.
thanks for the update!
Can you explain why an installation of Balkans has any effect on ACDATA?
Or why the check should be unchecked? -
I’m still a bit confused about the version. Is there any sense in installing alternate + HiRes? Although I have a high-end rig, the models still decrease the FPS enough on the ground to make rampstart tedious, that’s why I’m asking.

For that, I’d say it’s because the models used aren’t recognized as native.

I think you signed a good point here, dear Lorik.
Same mind here. So, let’s wait for the devs’ answer, I guess…
Oh, and this told just for the records: the last time, I installed the 3.5 alternate update and after that the 3.5 hi-res textures. All went out fine and it was worth of it, most of all - because I had care to tune out my nVidia card’s settings pretty fine before, perhaps?With best regards,

Alternate is for the version without Janhas models (and that would also make the above acdata remark obsolete, unless you fly MP with guys having installed the version with Janhas plus guys with the alternate version).
Don’t know what textures are all in the high res folder but some are perhaps Janhas models specific, so that could get faulty textures on airplanes perhaps.
If the high res textures are only for buildings, scenery etc; you can perfectly install the alternate version plus high res tiles. -

For truth’s sake, I too thought the same as you did… but until this version released only.
So, what is that ‘warning’ for (“Please make sure you have the Same ACDATA Files Required UNCHECKED in the config editor while using the 3.6 or 3.6 alternate update.”, I mean) at the far bottom of Cougar’s post? There wasn’t any of the same kind before.
And that has been which made me dubious now, and thus asking for a confirmation, in case.With best regards,

Good point, never caught my eye. But in theory he’s correct.
If everyone uses the same version, there’s no issue. But when someone has regular and another the alternate and want to fly together, the check must be disabled. So it’s valid for both type of downloads in certain cases -

You’re right, Focaldesign. And I agree.
But my question remains still, I think, and is about a possible modification of the original ‘ACDATA’ folder by overwriting its content even in a few part - told it in short.
Thanks for your attention and have a nice day.With best regards,

The hi res textures are only for the update that is the main update….not the alternate

Thank you Cougar, straight to the point =). And great job to the team, as always.

I thought i read somewhere this was going tot be fixed. What is unclear tot me is do the mods pertain tot bms stock install or just the balkans models? To be exact: am i modding existing standard flight models with this installation?Greets Snowman
PS happy with the warning so everybody has a choice. I would just like to be clear on what i am choosing
