Hi, can't get Panzer Elite installed on my Windows 7 PC - just get an error about unInstallShield. Deleting all instances of this IsUninst doesn't make a difference as it just gets re-installed. Any advice?

Player AA was a planned feature by Wings, but no code was ever written for it, so you have no way to fire a 4th gun.

A modder could create this, but only for units where the AA gun is the main gun. I have successfully played US HT and scout cars where the only weapon was the 50 cal. I believe the code for Ostpak Redux 2.0 has the fix for no MG ammo for main guns, but I forget. The last I was working on was a playable, MG armed, unit. The problem was that the gun only had one round of ammo. The menu exe required a fix, and proper CSV data.

biggrin I always thought it would be fun to MP M20s Vs 222s. Aim of the 50 cal is faster and still deadly to the 222. The 20mm auto cannon of the 222 can shred an M20

Sorry Spacebar, I still use XP and am quite content with it smile though I still prefer Win98.. Some posts on GOG's forum state that setting the compatibility of the exe to Win98 may work. The mod self installer does not work in Win 10, you have to extract the files manually. You can copy and paste the core game, IF you have a proper, system registry entry. Make sure your antivirus is off when using old school installers. Also, make sure your antivirus allows the install program to run. Even with XP I have found that I must "allow" some downloaded exe to run.

Re: Win 7 . Im running PE SE from GOG on a Win 7/64 bit Desktop. The GOG version is worth getting because its already patched to v1.2. After DL the files from GOG, I ran the PE installer with full administrator rights and set compatibility to XP service pack 2. I installed PE outside windows "Program Files "folder, ie Install directly To a hard disk eg C:\Panzer Elite. I installed mine to a secondary SSD. You also need to ensure you have DX9c installed in your system for PE.

After initially testing that PE worked ok, I installed the OstPak Redux 2.0 mod following the pdf instructions. I few minor tweaks and it runs this classic with a whole new look -great.

That''s Great news Spacebar. Thanks for confirming it works. FYI: PE + Ostpak also works with Win10/64bit.

Re: Shermans . They look a whole lot better in Ostpak Redux 2.0 as compared to default as do many other vehicles. Also gameplay and tech is generally improved thanks to Aldo and the efforts of many others-See credits.

My goodness, this a lot more difficult than when I first played it around 20 years ago on Window 98! I have to learn everything again haha. Even in the Villers Bocage scenario Wittman's tiger gets shot up in no time and I can never see where from. Bit like it really was I guess. Fun though...

Good post!
MichaelY went through all the patches from 1.05 through 1.2. He found a few minor emissions between patches. My quick search at www.tapatalk.com/groups/pedg for his post failed, but the info should be there or at his website. Search it out if you wish. If you review his post about the patch (it's been years since I last read it), you will know the bits he found. If there is something that was not fixed in the mod you are playing, you can add those bits' by right clicking on PE patch installers. You can extract the files to a temp folder. Find the files you need and determine if they interfere with the mods you use. If not, add them to the mod, or add them to the base files and re-enable the mods.

Wodin,
AA can be enabled with your video card settings.

Can anybody tell me how to access the options/control menu for settings? I've dusted off my old joystick and the buttons work ok but the handle doesn't move the tank. Not that that is a big issue as I've got used to using keyboard commands for games but still I'd like to know...

With Ostpak installed I'm immediately thrown into the game selection with the only options being Instant Action, Single Scenario, Campaign, Multiplayer and Credits. Looking outside the game only seems to have the 3D Control Center which only changes graphics and sound. How do I change the keyboard settings?

I had this same problem, (probably still do, not played in quite some time) I recall it has something to do with some UI file and resolutions settings, i could get the options button to appear and lose one of the others.

Sadly I can't remember what file or setting nor where I read what to do, let's hope this is enough of a clue for someone more knowledgeable to provide a more complete answer.

:^)

Spacebar. In the initial screen You should see "Options" listed between Multiplayer and Credits. Please confirm that you playing PE with the "Ostpak Redux version 2.0" mod by Daskal. I ask this because there are other earlier versions of "Ostpak" out there that are not the same.
