ALL MODULESSTATIC.INI Updates throughout. Air.INI Updates by SAS~Storebror.
We have several general map upgrades and fixes, all designed for Britain and Northern Europe. Because this is B.A.T. the maps of all other modules are also upgraded.
HG_retextured Ashehouse's Battle of France map hguderianhttp://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,33778.msg364837.html#msg364837Its great to have this map back and part of B.A.T.
La Chute Concrete Circle bug at Scampton fixedQuite a difficult fix this one, because the latest version is for 4:13 and B.A.T. remains based in 4:12. All working now though.
CanonUK/Tbauchot map upgrades by JPTENNew map_T file adds railroad lines to Dungness to make the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. New 1940ed_m01 (big map) modifies RAF airfield symbols to not block out some town names. New names list adds names for every marked urban area on the map and for several unmarked but town textured areas on the 3d world. On top of this there are several Mission Templates included, which are used to selectively add further detailed scenery in areas of interest under your flightpath.

**************************************************************
IN FLIGHT TUNING TO RADIO STATIONSPrior to flying the included Battle of Britain Campaigns and Missions do remember to set up your Hotkeys. You need to be able to 'Select Next Beacon' and 'Select Previous Beacon'. Since I have a Throttle Stick I use the + and - keys for these functions. From the 'Realism' Menu make sure you have selected 'Realistic Navigation'. Finally, you can do this in-flight or from any menu, switch on 'Play Music'. Don't select any other music though, keep it realistic and quite and begin your flight. Once airborne, and from the cockpit, use 'Select Next Beacon' and 'Select Previous Beacon' to tune through available stations!
There will be plenty of contemporary music and nationalistic programs which you will hear loud and clear over the other sounds. Depending on your location you might pick up the BBC, Radio Free Paris, a US Themed Jazz Station, The German National Field Broadcasts, even Radio Roma and others. All of the music files and radio programs are supplied here. Set it up and enjoy yet another added dimension to the best combat flightsim anywhere.
The effect is particularly good during the longer Luftwaffe bomber missions. You might also imagine that Adolf Galland would have tuned into some cheery tunes, as he lit another cigar, on his way back over the 'Kanal'. You can also turn the Music OFF by tuning it out, to a blank area. In this way I often like to tune in on the way home after a successful sortie in the old Spit or Hurri. If you are lucky enough to survive these encounters, and it can be done, then you are usually having to wind the engine back and take it easy as you cool off on the way home.

WORLD AT WARBolton Paul Defiant Upgrades and Skins SAS~Monty27
Ectoflyer’s excellent little frankenplane was never previously skinned because it would require re-colouring the TGAs deep in the 3Do model. Job done!
Vehicle Upgrades. Housekeeping and minor fixes SAS~Monty27
Ju87 Family Thinner Antennas - Barnsey12 and SAS~Monty27Barnsey's original work on the Stuka antennas extended to cover all models.
Westland Lysander by MissionBUGhttp://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,55466.0.htmlMissionBUGS masterpiece is at last out. We actually get to fly it on a survey mission, in one of the campaigns, and a dedicated Lysander set, with many tricky tight landings, is also underway.
Definitive British Speechpack by Compans and FriendsRe-Mixed by SAS~Monty27
The best British Empire voices, loud, exitable, often rude and crude. This excellent set is compiled from many sources over the years. The orignal enthusiastic group of talented voice artists began this project way back in 2007.
This set has also been extensively cleaned up with a lot less repetition than the original. We have cleaned out the endless dialogue loops on landing and during navigation waypoint to waypoint. The chatter is applied more during combat and manouvres. Some of the original contained lower quality recordings that spoiled the effect. These have been cleaned out and re-balanced with the original RAF Speechpack and De-Cluttering *.wavs.

JSGME SPEECH OPTIONS#BAT_00-CHAT-GBAdds the RAF Chatter Pack to massively extend banter and in flight chatter for RAF Squadrons. Add and Remove with JSGME.

Battle of Britain SkinpackRDDR, eMeL, Rock, Shooter, Phas3e, VPMedia, Monty27, MAXTheHitman.
Everything is skinned! On the ground and in the air, every AI, the player flights, the scenic parked aircraft. RDDR in particular made hundreds of new skins. eMeL, the master template maker made many more possible and also added several beautifully rendered fighters. The other people named here are the byword in bespoke skins and experts in period markings.
PROPER JU88A1'sFrom the family upgrade by YT2 and re-skinned by RDDR. All of our Battle of Britain mission Ju88's are now the authentic model!

SOVIET HEAVY FLIGHTLINE OVERHAULA much larger Jet Age upgrade is next on the agenda, along with the maps. However, part of that massive overhaul is already available and installs with Operation Sealion:
THE JET AGEF-84F Thunderstreak mapping fix in Light and Dark Grey + JSGME Options:
#JTW-ALT F-84F DORSAL01/02
Tu-4A Redfoxhttp://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,50973.msg556059.html#msg556059Fixed by Redfox for CUP and now fully set in B.A.T. again and featuring a new skinpack based on the old RRG schemes.
Tu-85This frankenplane is improved with a low-vis scheme and some crucial re-mapping. Includes a full set of marked skins.
Tu-95Ranwer's Bear is already perfect but looks even meaner in this weathered silver scheme by 'Teico'.
Tu-126The AWACS Bear also benefits from the new scheme, plus some re-mapping and new textures.
Tu-195Bison_M's Superbear looks great in its natural black finish and also works well in the weathered silver scheme.
Kong JiangThis aircraft now enjoys a new skinpack, based on the old RRG skins, re-mapped to encompass the new engines.
Myasishchev 3MD Bison CAnother of Bison_M's frankenplanes also gets a fully marked set of skins to enhance its appearance.
Jet Age Slots by Vampire_PilotThe AH64 Apache and AH1W Super Cobra get independent slots which basically adds 2 new helos to the Jet Age flightline.
Mission_BUG regularly updates all of the static aircraft for FMB. Most of the latest models are now covered.
A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) by Ranwers & 4S_Vegahttp://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,55349.0.htmlMeaner than a junk yard dog! The classic A-10 comes to the Jet Age, wonderful!
F-104 Starfighter by gio963tto - V1.2 20170706 4S_Vegahttp://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,55916.0.htmlAnother superb classic makes it to B.A.T. Thanks to all involved, WOW!
Here are some extra Russian Heavy Skins:

**************************************************************
PERFORMANCE BOOSTERThe biggest difference between B.A.T. and any other modset is the sheer number aircraft available in the Air.INI. The number of aircraft listed in the Air.INI does have an impact on performance. Future fixes for this, a memory leak based on error log accumulation, will come in time. However, an instant quickfix is to JSGME Load an appropriately reduced Air.INI. For the BoB, for example, load: '#WAW_00-AIRBOOST BOB'. For Pacific scenarios, or Desert scenarios, there will also be appropriate 'AIRBOOST' options. '#WAW_00-AIRBOOST BOB' is included with Operation Sealion.

OPERATION SEALION MANUAL EXTRASB.A.T. INSTANT LOG FILES
Classes-!SAS-InstantLog was inadvertently left out of the main mod folders. This has no impact on B.A.T. except that your log capability is compromised. This patch will simply add Classes-!SAS-InstantLog back into your mod folders.
You can do this anytime, it doesn't effect anything else and it is not even mandatory, you don't have to have them.
The next B.A.T. expansion will correct this minor omission.
B.A.T. INSTANT LOG FILES
http://www.mediafire.com/?l4ivkrnz52d7sx8FULL SELF CONTAINED JSGME OPTIONS (BATMODS)There has been much work on the JSGME Options. As B.A.T. expands there are some new ones but also a lot of old stuff that needs to cleaned out. JSGME still remains an excellent utility to quickly change small parts of the sim and add, or remove, certain options.
This is the definitive list and content, to be automatically included in the next expansion. For now this useful backup set may be added manually.
Firstly; you should disable all JSGME Options and REM (rename with a -) your old BATMODS folder. Next; simply unZIP this new BATMODS folder to your main Il2 Directory.
