Just wondering ? Is it at all possible to turn down the explosive effect of aircraft either hitting the ground or when shot down in combat ...
The Nieuport 17 seems to blow up with the force of a loaded B-17 :-D.
Ok I might get in close when I open fire but during one mission a 17 blew up and took three DIII's out of the air....
I get blown away more often than shot down
Just thinking (if poss), it might be a bit more realistic " in game" ....
Thanks :-D

I have the same problem with some frankenplanes too. Some planes has stock WWII-era explosion codes and blew up taking everything in the vicinity. If any light and fragile WWI planes pass by in the moment there's a catastrophe.

Could somebody with a DBW-1916 backup test this patch, please? :

and how "Map of Western Belarus, 1916" from Uzin?

That map includes 200+ buildings, some of them are from DBW, some not so before including somebody must go over several hundred static.ini entries and keep the ones which are really required in DBW-1916, remove the rest, plus remove the folders. Quite honestly I am to lazy for this job but I'd welcome a DBW-1916 compatible version with proper static.ini entries if the map author wants to make one.

The map WWI NorthSea no texture GS_Beach

[vpmedia]

The maps\_Tex\GW_tex\Summer\GS_Beach.tga is part of the DBW mod.

[MURD0C]

no  mod DBW-1916. Put this texture pozhalusta

That texture is from the WestFront map, I think you need all the textures:

Thanks a lot!
If it doesnt crash on startup then its probably working. Maybe do a QMB mission with the new planes just to make sure.

Thanks!

I hope you can get it to work
