Ask your questions, and the end will show who lies.

aldo, thank you for the reply.
i had looked at a different demo of panzer elite (panzer elite action?)
and that looked more arcade-ish.
does pese have any additions or add-ons?

PESE is PE with the mods that were available at that time and the tools to edit the game.

JoWooD purchesed the developer of PE and gave the project to Zootfly. Zootfly turned the title into an action shooter.

What I was able to salvage when the host tried to hold my files for ransom is here.

The box art for the 2 versions of PE that were intended to be simulations are ghosted in the image at the top of the page

Torch and Monty Vs Romel can be found here
http://pedg.chollie.co.uk/mods.htm

Links for Ostpak and PE3 can be found here
http://pedg.yuku.com/

There are a number of ingame screens in my temp picture folder

Those are mostly images used in private discussions about various code bugs or projects that were being worked on, but it gives an honest view of the graphics quality.

i just bought the game and patched it to 1.2

a couple of questions if i may.

will the mods work with jonesoft generic mod enabler.
i've used it with other wargames.

do you have any suggestions for which mods i should start with.
i enjoy playing as the germans and like the eastern front.

i'm having trouble finding the link to download the ostpak.
am i assuming rightly that ostpak is a mod for playing on the eastern front?

thanks

If you have it installed correctly you should see new Campaigns in the Camp.-menue..
Check the install-path, most errors are "/programfiles vs. /program files".

The mod enabler is located in the PE folder (mod_enabler.exe). If Ostpak is not listed in the mod enabler, verify it was unzipped properly by verifying the folder structure mods/ost/ost. If I remember correctly, they placed the ini file in the wrong folder. The ostpak.ini file needs to be in the mods folder.
