well since Boxkite has been asking about WW I aircraft, he got me thinking. besides the aircrate site is there any other WW I sites out there.

There are several out there like Aerocrate and Flanders Fields, but let me refer you to the third important topic at the top of this forum page. That thread has been going for years. Some of the links are now dead, but most are still active. Wink

AND every flightsim site has some very nice WWI downloads, including SimV. All you have to do is look. A quick hint....search SimV for P J Walker, or just use this link:

Here's my CFS2 thread at the Few Good Men featuring mostly downloaded kites (I'm PoorOldSpike), I've downloaded a pretty good WW1/WW2 assortment from various sites as you can see-

http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/showthread.php?4270-CFS2-(Microsoft-s-C...)

Quite often you'll find you don't like a machine because it doesn't fly as well as you'd hoped, or else its graphics are not so hot etc, but usually you'll find another one to replace it.

You can pick up 2 versions of HMS Furious for WW1 carrier ops here-

http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2shipyard.htm

Be warned, landing can be accomplished but is difficult and you need a plane with a hook, though this can be arrange by adding some details to one of the doc thingies..dodah's...whatsits.

Really good info...until the 'doc thingies..dodah's...whatsits' part. Huh

That's how Ms Ginger would describe it. Grin

Do you really mean that by adding a tailhook entry to the aircraft's CFG file you can use the arrester wires? Or are you just messin' with the troops? Roll Eyes

What do you mean by 'everyone of those planes'? Which planes? Undecided

When do they CTD? Huh

Folks, we really do need to start being a bit specific here....we're not mind readers. Wink

One thing is for sure....if every one of anything that is supposed to work fails, it's because you did something wrong, or failed to do something at all. Cry

If you are talking about P.J. Walker's planes at SimV, I've flown them all...no problems. Wink

sorry about that tango i was in a hurry.

all of the WWI planes on the page you suggested.
http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=P+J+Walker&x=20&y=10

all of PJ's planes.

Now they crash when i'm in the freeflight menu, picking the plane that i want to fly. as soon the the image goes to load up the game goes to desk top.

all of the aerocrate planes work fine so i'm not sure what the issue is. more than likely its my computer freaking out about something or another.

kinda how it doesn't like the 1024x768 panels but will run the 800x600.

i checked the sound files and i checked/changed the panels. even with the sound aliased to the zero it still happens.

i'll flip thourgh the common problems post and see if i can find any answers.

ok it seems that this might not be a common problem. i'm wondering if its simular to the one you mentioned before. that line in the MDL i think it was. maybe not. its odd cuz i ran the airmanager and it didn't list any problems. could be my graphics card (or lack of a real one, stupid intergraded grapics) outside of that i'm not sure. so i'll wait for your reply tango.

Well I just downloaded the PJ Walker Morane Bullet and it wouldn't work, it didn't crash to desktop but in free flight the bullet stream was invisible, and Mission Builder kept freezing when I tried putting the Morane in there.
But then I downloaded the DP upgrade pack to replace the Moranes old files and it works like a dream in Free flight and in Mission Builder, here it is shooting a wing off an LVG 5 minutes ago, so I suppose replacing the files for the other 7 PJW aircraft should work too..

Boxman did what I was going to ask you to check. PJ's DPs were a bit out of whack, but the upgrades straightened them out. I'm fresh out of ideas for you. My versions of the planes work fine, but they do have updated DPs. Undecided
