Looking for a good WW2 tank sim? Well look no further - download the new PP2-X mod for Panzer Elite & there you go. I dont know how many people are aware of it at all, but this mod is incredible. It breathes new life into the old lady. The mod along with the PE engine is still beaing tweaked and updated actively by the PEDG community.

Here is a short gampley with PP2-X applied:

Wow! Great mod for a great classic. Does anyone know if Panzer Elite Gold is available as a download? I found lots of links to Panzer Elite Action, but totally different game.

Thanks for pointing out this development group. If I can find a download copy, then I'm in with both feet.

This one was the last release, with a lot of work done by Brit44Aldo in this release. I think Brit44Aldo collated all the mods he could find.

Here for the UK

Thanks for the link Murkz. Unfortunately I was hoping there was a download available, as I head back overseas in a few days. Even the complete collection looks wholly different than what I remember of Panzer Elite of years past.

Brit44, you are the man! Thanks for finding that gem, and, for $5.00 no less. Sweet deal! Once I finish downloading some large updates, this is my next one post update.

Thanks again.

Cheers

Is this file located in their forums? I see many other mods, including Britt44's, but no link to PP2.

Its kinda tricky - its "hidden" within message boards/Multiplayer, but here is a direct link to the mod:

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BxJHVrUn6TWSdWhZSWxKWFpUNVE&export=download

Download & Extract it into your mods folder, and then enable it with the Mod Enabler.

Thanks Daskal. Should I download the other mods too or are they incompatible?

I'd just go with this at the moment. I'd recommend Ostpak expansion as well.

Daskal,

I hate to keep pestering you, but I installed the mod in the mod folder, as instructed. However, when I open the mod enabler, none of the mods are showing up. Thoughts?

If there is no listing in the mod enabler, then the ini file is missing. Check PEs /mods folder for an ini file.

Brit44,

I found several ini files in the PE install, which one are you referring too? I haven't found any in the mods folder. Is there a fix?

The mod enabler reads an ini file in the mods folder. The fact that you do not have one is the reason the enabler is not displaying any mods. The ini file is normaly named for the folder that contains the mod.

You should only have one mods folder, but the mod needs a folder named the same at the mod that contains the mod, do not be suppried by example PE /mods/pex/pex. That is the correct method for mod folders.

After watching Daskal's excellent video with the PP2_X 1.1 mod I must say I am greatly impressed! The smoke, the sounds even the way the tanks move everything has been improved unbelievably in the last year or so. This is nothing short of amazing work.The amount of work put by Brit44 Aldo and others is nothing short of making this sim look like it's 6 to 7 years old only instead of 16.Kudos and congrats. I am definitely going to download and try this PP2-X 1.1 mod salute

This looks pretty great, I'm having a bit of trouble getting it to run though. Activated in the mod enabler fine, but when I'm loading into the 3d game (instant action or single mission) I get a crash, "beta 2-14 has stopped working".

Any special 3d & sound setup tricks to try? Compatibility changes on the .exe? it's been a while since I fired up panzer elite.

thanks!

edit - should mention I ran it without the mod first and I was able to enter into 3d and play without any problems.

Once the mod is installed, you should go back to the 3Đ setup and adjust resolution and bit depth prior starting the game. The new mod will enable much higher resolutions and bit depth.
