Hi Trek I got popup ads a lot too but following up your post I think I've worked it out. Register on the STA forum, then log in. THEN click the link to the STA download you want, on 4shared.com. Just tried this and it works with no popups, every time. Log out, and the popups are back. So the trick seems to be, log onto the STA forum before you click the link to 4shared. When you get to 4Shared, the download link is the one ringed red, below: I created a 4shared account, alternatives are to login via Facebook etc. Much the same as the previous NTA mod. Thanks for bringing this up, I'll mention this over at the STA forum; if I'm right a note is needed to tell folks you need to log on before trying to d/l.

Hi Trek Glad you're sorted! I got the 1st mission pack soon after release but evidently it has been taken down pending some re-work. I think the anti-aliasing 'mod' may be NvidiaInspector itself - some settings were discovered which enable anti-aliasing to be applied in SF, which didn't work before as you likely know already. I already have them applied in an NvidiaInspector profile for SF so didn't need to use this new d/l. I think I need to check if I'm using the optimum settings for my card (GTS 250) but even as it is, it's better than it used to be, without. Post if you need to discuss. I think the essentials are as listed, the sound mod then all three mission packs then the main mod, which by the sound(!) of it you have now. I would definitely recommend at least the winter and desert 'weather' mods. The winter mod 'does what it says on the tin' and brings life and variety to missions intended for it, like 'Counterstrike' in King Tigers, including a temporary winter camouflage for your tanks. You CAN play with the stock terrain but winter is a nice change: Desert terrain is the other most desirable mod, essential really for the modest but growing selection of missions set in that theatre: You have to enable the 'weather' mod and disable after use but still worthwhile. All the weather mods are worth having I think, tho I'd get 'Desert' and 'Winter' as the priority.

Hi Tirta
the Day 1 changes of STA over NTA are as listed on the STA home page, namely:
- added new tank Pz.35(t) (GER) - gun 37mm KWK34(t) 39cal. + paired 7.9mm MG37(t), 7.9mm MG37(t) radist shells: - AP, PZGR(t) umg39, 675m/s - APC, PZGR40(t)39/37, 980m/s - HE, SPRGR(t)39, 657m/s - added ATR platoon mod.1941 (GBR) - fixed tank T-35A, his shells and sights - fixed center mas for the regiment gun 76.2mm - fixed multi-sound of MG-34 - added new tank M4A2 (USA) - fixed mission "Tiger at the battle field" (GMP2.x) - added "street lamp #01" - added "street bench #01" - fixed missions #02, 03 from campaign Barbarossa and slightly adjusted polygons - added British `Valentine` MK3 with insignias - added a fuel truck Blitz (desert, tri-color camo) (GER) - added new destroyable building `toilet` - added new APC `Universal carrier` (GBR) - fixed armor of the Panther F - fixed Pz38(t) - fixed Marder III(H)
I think some missions in the NTA mission packs may not have made it into STA; but more STA missions are being developed, including one for the new Sherman M4A2. And STA has fixes for some NTA issues, as listed above.

Ok just so people understand what happened. Lockie is Ukrainian and some of the Admins on the Graviteam forum are Russians. Lockie had expressed perhaps too forcefully or too much his opinion on the events in the Ukraine and has offended or irritated the Russian Admins. He was probably told to stop and refused. As a result sometimes around the 26th July he was banned ( probably temporarily) from the forum. He then decided to leave it altogether , start a new one and remove all download links for the NTA1.8 and mission packs from the Graviteam forum. This is why STA has replaced NTA as a sign of a clean break/fresh start. But it's essentially a continuation ... This is my interpretation.

Frinik22, my opinion. Your working too hard to try and put a positive spin this "split". Wishfull thinking will never change the facts of the human existance, it takes effort. If it is a one sided effort, then it is a fools errand. All of the wildabeast of Africa can wish the crocodile will some day call them friend. Edit: I was refering to the geo/political realities that have brought about this split, not the mod or modding.

@ Brit44 Aldo | | "All of the wildabeast of Africa can wish the crocodile will some day call them friend.>>>" I love your quote!!! No I wasn't putting a positive spin just telling my own version of the events from what I heard and also because I know Lockie well. I want people to understand why our former forum ceased to exist literally overnight . That being said and just to put some negative spin I think he was too impulsive and I don't approve of him pulling out all the stakes( i.e. removing all links to the mods and missions packs) from the forum....

Lockie's story sounds familiar. I deleted all my posts on the PanzerElite.com forum once ( maybe twice, it was 10 years ago ). I have even deleted my posts from the PEDG forum once, the entire PEDG forum once, and even the entire Brit44 private forum ( Where we, not just me, developed PEx ) once. My former friend ( Former for ethical reasons, but the advice is true ) Mork gave me cherrished(spelling) advice ever simmer should remember, "PE is a play". What it means is that the simulations are just a hobby, your real life is what is important. SF is a play, and none should fault Lockie for how he chooses to spend his hobby time.

Meanwhile, the STA mod is about to acquire a new and vital piece of hardware, whose presence on the Steel Fury battlefield will come as a great relief to troops from all sides. No, I don't mean the STA's new Universal ('Bren') Carrier, or even the new M-4 Sherman variants lined up to the rear... ...I mean this, Code Name 'Thunderbox', seen in testing, perhaps after suffering an internal explosion from the ignition of certain gasses... The fate of the virtual crew is not reported; we can only hope that they got out in time.
