Why are there Me-110s in the US OB at Reims ?


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Thanks, I never knew this.

Ever try it off a carrier? Like TBF's with F4F's like you see in all the old WWII pictures.

Often. When we fly carrier missions from the Vic the friendly secondary planes also fly from the Vic.

I think that it is a typo.

Reims is a target but not a base. It is in allied territory too.

Going back to the original pnames.str:

P-38J
P-38J
P-47D
P-47D
P-47D
P-51D
B-17G
B-24J
B-26B
FW 190F-8
Spitfire IX
Spitfire XVI
Spitfire XIV
Typhoon IB
Tempest V
Ju 88S-1
Bf 109G-14
Bf 109G-10
Bf 109K-4
Mosquito FB VI
A-26B
B-26C
FW 190A-8
FW 190D-9
Me 262A-2a
Ju 88S-1
B-26G
P-47D
Mitchell III
V1


I cannot see the point of having 4 slots with the P-47D, and two with the P-38J. The skins are identical in 1.28c so I assume that they were originally.

I have made a stand-alone download for people to try.

You can get it here

Running the downloaded "UAW160Ardennes.exe" (only 356 megabytes) will create a "UAW160 Ardennes" folder.
It only has the essential files and folders to run the Battle of the Bulge theatre.

[Linked Image]

There is a "DSP Ardennes.exe" which will allow you to select things.

[Linked Image]

I included three winter terrain sets to choose from.

***************************************************************************************************************
For people who want to extend their existing UAW160 folder there us a download available:

Ardennes addition

Run the downloaded "Ardennes160update.exe" in your UAW160 folder and let it update files and folders

wink Jel

Mild Winter it was the one I remembered! Great to see this one added!
BTW, any idea of why I cannot hear my engine from inside the cockpit? It happens in other installs as well.

Wondering If positive criticism will be apreciatted here, I can shut up If not and still be grateful, just an example, the Fw190F8 sports Hungarian skin where it should wear a Luftwaffe skin.

Have you edited the sound levels using configuration?

There was only one FW 190F-8 skin available in the Aircraft-Inventory, and that's what I used.
However I have lust done a quick conversion of Emil's 190F-8 files from 1.2 format to UAW160 format and I have it working.

In an attempt to get the planeset as close as possible to Emil's original I have made a second planeset

[Linked Image]

The one on the left is the "pnames.str" from the 1.28c version which must be the Emil's original.
The one in the middle is the first UAW160 planeset for the theatre, and the one on the right is the second which I made this morning.

I cannot see the point of having 4 P-47D slots, so I moved the Arado to the fourth one which allowed me to put the 109G-14 back in the planeset in the same slot as Emil.
It was not in my first planeset because I only found a good UAW160 version of the 109G-14 skin this morning.
I am going to make another one for use with other theatres with a different plane on each slot. I will move the Lancaster and replace the V1.

Edit: This is what I came up with:
P-38J
P-38L-1
P-47C
P-47D-5
Mustang III
Spitfire XVI
B-17G
B-24D
B-26C
FW 190F-8
Spitfire IX
Spitfire XVI
Spitfire XIV
Typhoon IB
Tempest V
Ju 88 S
Bf 109G-14
Bf 109G-10(U4)
Bf 109K-4
Mosquito VI
A-26B Invader
HE219A1n
FW 190A-8
FW 190D-9
Me 262A-1
TA 152H-1
Lancaster MkIII
Ar 234B-1
Mitchell II
V-1 Fi-103

In many cases you can substitute one set of TPC files for another if the corresponding 3dz files mapped are the same.

So for instance, any of the 190 A series skins could be substituted for the Hungarian 190 F8. The only difference with the F8 was the deletion of the outer wing mounted 20MM cannon.


Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

The patches that I made have been removed because the original Ardennes download has been replaced with one which includes the patches.

It's me the only one that cannot hear certain plane engines?

I like the new planeset! Thanks for sharing it.

BTW, is possible to get the Emil's campaigns mainscreens in Hires? They bring me back a lot of memories!

No, because of the menu system. Also increasing the size from 640x480 to 1024x768 by stretching the picture produces an image with poor quality.
You can see what I did to the mainscreen to preserve its original quality.

The 1.28c version uses the original files.


I do not have an account at Combat Ace wink

Run the 1.28c version, get the screen that you want and do a windows "print screen". Exit, open a new doc in Paint, paste and save as a jpg.
