PP2-x is here.

Ok, so PE-X and then PP2-X?

just PP2-x. PEx is the original PE with the game engine modifications and a few graphical items to show the possabilities. There are only 3 of us doing amy work on this, so progress is slow (and I took the last 6 weeks off).

Thanks! Its great to see such dedicated support for 'the' WWII tank sim.

I'm assuming I have to run it under win 98 compatibility?

Only use compatibility mode if you are having stability issues. Most memory issues have been corrected.

Thanks, it looks fantastic compared to the old vanilla game I remember. Dove head first into the Normandy campaign and wow, the AI is aggressive and smart.

I've been using the Jagdpanther and other tanks - is it me or is the gunsight dialing off? I set to 500M and it goes completely somewhere else. Also is the German aimpoint to the right, because the shell never goes in straight on top of the large triangle.

I am not sure if the gun data of PP2x has all of the calibration done. I did the guns used for PEx. Alt plus KP+ and Alt plus KP- are used to change the optics calibration. To save the calibration, you have to edit the fifth entry of the guns.csv data

The 7,5 cm KwK 42 L/70 should have a calibrations some where around 11.

There is a known bug in the Sflzf optic that is fixed in patch 1.02 of PEx
(Sflzf optic } http://images.yuku.com/image/pjpeg/cad35b673e61efae5c948c48f49e7f20d152190.jpg

German optics did not use a convergance, so the small triangle to the right is used for the main gun and the one to the second to the right is used for the Coaxial MG.

Allied optics in PE still use the original PE cheat of positioning the optic at the bore of the gun. The Germans are hard coded to the left. Wat needs to be done is a vertex added to the 3D model to define the location of the optical. It's on the list of things to do.

Forgive a noob question - PP2 is a 'mod' patch update to the original Panzer Elite game?

So if I buy Panzer Elite SE from GOG.com, PP2 should be the only patch I need?

Yes, and the same is true for PP2x.

PP2 is a subset of the snow/night mod found on the PESE bonus disk. It is the additional playable tanks without the night or snow option. The previous bonus disk had Snow/Night as a seperate mod, with a seperate mod activator. I am not sure which bonus disk GOG has now. On the new version, PP2 is the same as the SN Summer Day mod. If you want just PP2 and not the entire Snow/Night mod, you can find it in my archive (http://home.comcast.net/~ab707/mp/).

Aldo, Slomo - thank you so much for the PP2-X mod and all the work you guys and the others put into what it contains. Just started to explore it and it appears to represent some significant leaps ahead in presentation of the earth as well as the combat elements and their graphics and modeling. I know you have YEARS of effort put into the sim. It shows!
