OFF Manager sometimes get confused with the FM Mod and forces the aces skins to default ones.
You have to trick OFF Manager by generating one mission outside the Mod and then refly the same mission
with the Mod. winkngrin


thank you, but have we to do that each mission or each time we load a campaign, or only once for a given campaign or only once ?

This is the $64,000 question. What is the method for keeping our glorious skins and the improved flight model as well?

In other words - how do we shamelessly have our cake and eat it too? thumbsup

I guess, also, now that I think about it - is it just the Ace skins that fail to appear or are squadron colours also compromised?

No the squadron colours stay intact.
And as I said above the 'problem' occurs only in certain units.
I used the Mod in my RNAS 8 Campaign without any tricks and the skins were there.
However in a Jasta 37 Campaign, I have also running,
I get only the generic Jasta skin for every plane, aces included.
In that case the 'trick' is needed. I've done it before and it's working...
I remember doing it only once, not every time I was initialising OFF...
I'm not sure if it still works if you interchange Campaigns though...

Ah, that makes things a bit clearer now. Thanks for taking the time to explain things a bit for me, Elephant! thumbsup

Just to let everyone know, HPW's damage mod only works if JSGME is installed incorrectly in your "CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" folder. To work correctly with all mods, JSGME must be installed in the parent folder, usually "ODBSoftware", alongside the "CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" and "WW1Scenery" folders.

A repacked HPW FM/EW mod that works properly with a correct installation of JSGME should be officially posted soon, but for now you can temporarily get it
here.

Note that many of the reports of no problems with skins are probably because the FM mod wasn't actually being run.

Okay... let's try this again from the top.

I have the following mods I'd like to install - if they are actually compatible. Which order should I install them in?

HPW UltimateDM_1.25
Main FM and AI EW Mod 2.1
33Lima ArcMod_1.1 for HPW UltimateDM_1.25

Many thanks in advance for the clarification - feeling a bit lost with this recent flood of mods.

2. HPW UltimateDM_1.25
3. 33Lima ArcMod_1.1 for HPW UlitmateDM_1.25

Hi, I've sent a revised version of my FM mod to combatace for approval. The new version is designed to be placed in the OBDSoftware/MODS folder.
