Hi CH

If they are stationary vehicles and trailers no, I just place them so that they fit visually.

For moving vehicles with trailers, like these





I use the premade 'convoy' options which include tank transport and fuel convoys. These are great for creating traffic at airfields and on roads as long as you give them nice simple waypoints to cover.

Wow, color me stupid. I thought you HAD to use the script options to connect trailers to vehicles (even statics), never crossed my mind just to put them there!

Fantastic work as always. I'm running out of time between the WvD and your campaigns...

Hah! Don't worry, I also had a 'duh' moment about halfway through creating the Sealion missions when after about 15 missions of painstakingly putting together mixed convoys of vehicles to give the impression of an authentic convoy (and drawing and redrawing waypoints because they kept bumping into each other) I discovered that there are prebuilt convoys in the vehicle options...

You can criticise 1C for a lot of things, but my goodness they built a lot into the FMB.

Hi Sorry, yes the series will continue shortly. Thx for all the downloads. I am currently just finishing up the AARs from the Sealion campaign,

Ps anyone know how to do a winter CoD landscape? Pls apply!

I have downloaded Operation Sealion and it is really GREAT! Just one question: I played till mission 4 and in every mission, just after a while I met the enemy, the video freezes for a few seconds then it starts again "losing" those seconds. This is a problem when you are in a dogfight as you lose your target or you can't disengage quickly. Reading several forums I think to understand that it depends on ground objects: is there any way to limit this effect?

Hi

Yes, that kind of dtuttering is annoying, and depending on your system it can be caused by ground objects. Sealion mission pack is pretty resource heavy because it is simulating both air and ground war in most missions. Also,,spme of the missions feature twin engined bombers which also cause stutters (old CoD bug) when you get close, very annoying.

I havent had anyone else asking to cut back the number of objects since the final patch came out...you are the first but before we look at cutting objects, let's see if optimising some other settings might help. Here are some suggestions, try one at a time and see if it helps:

- if you have an ATI card, delete the Ubi logo sequence (logo.wmv) which plays at startup
- textures setting should be on original
- set trees to very low or off
- turn off grass
- other settings to medium (there is litle difference visually between medium and high for most gfx settings, in my book)

Some or all of these can help.

If you enjoy the 'what if element' of Sealion you'll be glad to know the old team that brought out the RAF campaign REDUX is back together and working on a Luftwaffe REDUX based around a Sealion campaign. Bolox and Gabuzomeu have enhanced the REDUX campaign system even more, so that the player gets a mission by mission count of both air and ground kills now...great fun. It is in beta testing as we speak...

I followed your instructions and it's better now. The freezing is still there, but it's shorter. I wouldn't like to reduce the objects as they make these missions special. I couldn't find the logo.wmv to delete it. I enclose my configuration so maybe you can see if there is anything else to do



I already downloaded the mega pack and for sure I won't miss any new campaign!

Hi m8 if I read right the gtx 650 card has 1GB dedicated mem? That is usually the min. I have asystem running with 1.5gb vid mem on low to med settings, and best results on med to hi settings with a system running 3gb dedicated video mem. See if you can live without shadows?

Here is a test that I did using my 660ti 3gb card with the game settings on high 1920x1080 120hz. Game seems to crave a very fast card with 2gb mem. being enough as seen here...2 missions back to back BlackDeath and a simple takeoff/land mission

However, as you don't have an ATI card, it may not be an issue for you.
