Gah!

No matter how I do it, I can't get the map to show up in the "Map Load" of IL2. I have a "Philippines" map, but no dlv_. Today, I tried to join a co-op and the game froze at line-up and the computer gave a MS error message and changed to a low-rez desk top. All other mod maps work ok.

Any quick advice?


Thanks,

I'm assuming by Map load your referring to the FMB? I just dl this "dlv_Philippines_v2.0 map" from AAA and it loaded up no problem in FMB, it was labelled "Philippines".

I made a quick msn with a plane and flew with out any hiccups. All I can suggest is to dl it again and install. Open FMB and try and load the map.

Just "Philippines"? Not "dvl_Philippines"? Someone told me that it was prefixed with dvl_. If not, I will find this person and kill them.

Thanks Pat. I'll try to remember how to make a quick mission and try it out.


thx,

Stu the new unified installer is kinda out, that map is included in it as a default. At the moment there are some problems downloading it so I'd hold of till the end of the week then I think we all should install this version so we are on the one page.

Yeah Greg, I saw it last night. Gah! What a mess, huh? It took me two hours to dl about 120 megs of the first part. I gave up 'round two in the morning. Oh well, shouldn't complain. It's free and so much work has been done on it.


thanks,

I got 3 sections downloaded last night @ about 11 ohio time, going o try to get the rest tonight.

I'm trying the Torrent, 70% complete, completely gave up on AAA. I was continuously getting dropped.

I got five sections dl'd last night. Today, none. Will try again tonight, ~1AM CT.

Ya got the Unified Installer with the Torrent. Now to make sure it installs and then burn it to a DVD.

All I got to say about this Unified Installer is WOW! I can't begin to explain it, the effects, sound, ease of installation, and the maps did I mention the maps, there has to be twice as many maps as before, and the planes. Did I mention maps....oh I did, right and new objects.

I would recommend this to anyone who played 4.09b1m with mods. There is enough stuff here to keep any skinner/mission maker busy for awhile, dang the maps...so.....many.....maps

Downloaded all the sections at work today so I will give it a try tonight Glad to see AAA finally got a load of mirrors up and running so the downloads were fairly quick.

BTW Sack how are the maps! LOL

Yeah, dl'd section 6 and 7 last night. They are named slightly differently in the mirror I used, v7 as opposed to ver5. I hope that doesn't matter.

So, update to 4.08m on a new install and just run this 1.1 pack?

Don't you still have to mod to plain 4.09b1m first then run the installer?

No, you just need to patch to 4.08m then install the unified installer. If I wasn't at home here doing a online course I'd be playing.......wait a minute....I should get back to the books

Make sure before you go installing anything guys that each section is 250mb (section 8 is smaller) in size, some were getting download complete after only 50% of the files were down loaded. Also some of the mirrors (not the original) were directing people to the old unified installer. So if in doubt get the original one from AAA, take yer time get it right the first time and y'all should be fine otherwise you'll be flying with pike
