I am working on several simple jsgme-activated add-on for this pack. One of them contains mainly aircraft from the 1939-40 period, plus Gilb57's superb "Blitzkrieg40" map. (I want to convert a number of my early war campaigns, not least "Years of Triumph", to 4.12, using the VP_Modpack, which I am glad to say is able to run with excellent FPS on my own machine.) I hope to have this add-on ready this week-end!

Poltava, I'm working on a patch which will update the technics.ini, stationary.ini and chief.ini.
I'm saying this so that we can avoid the patch making the addons not to work properly.

[SAS~Poltava]

Istvan, great news, I will hold all further work on the add-on until your patch arrives. (BTW: I have already tested the Blitzkrieg add-on, and the FPS stays exactly the same. The systems stays sleek, stable and fast.)

While working on the add-on I've found some things that could be included or fixed in the .ini's. You will soon have PM regarding this.

I have two (and just two) humble requests for additional material to be added to the patch:

1.) GilB57's map Westfront/Blitzkrieg 40, with updates!

2.) LAL_Rhones vehicle pack, adapted for 4.12 by Epervier:

LAL-Rhones pack is especially important for backward compatibility with 4.10/DBW 1.71.

Keep it up!

I recommend to check out first the Stgrad and Balaton summer maps , those are the biggest improvement of this patch in my opinion.

Thanks for the lots of positive feedback!

In the future I'm planning to work on this pack more, my main goals are to improve the maps, the aircraft default skins. Better QMB and other missions / campaign conversions are also on list. I'm really happy to hear about the upcoming campaigns, thanks for the support!

Cheers

Max, be careful when adding stuff because you can break a key game feature without knowing and when you finally notice it you wont be able to tell what caused it. For example generate a dgen campaign and look at the stationary aircraft markings on any airfield. Adding any jetwar mod into this ww2 pack is quite risky, I'm pretty sure that the effects mod had many classfile conflicts and the CTO mod is also in conflict iirc, so I'd definitely remove those when the latest sas engine mod is installed (this answers reply #134).

If you got some spare time and inspiration you could help me retexture the stock pacific theatre houses which are still in their original state unfortunately. I can post a list if youre interested.

Cheers

I have studied the western patch thingy and i understand what's going on now. Not confuion any more. Downloaded and trialed  all possible combinations of patches and engine mod and nothing works, so there we are - as you say my game just won't take it

Thank you VPMedia for this great mod. But after patch 2 i'm getting 60% ctd on loading. ( kick me to the desktop ). Before patch 2 everything was fine.

[SAS~Poltava]

I'm afraid that the same thing has happened to me. Before patch 2 no problems. Afterwards 60% CTD.

[hello]

The Short Sunderland is missing. Edit air.ini (comment the plane out) or install the Short Sunderland.

That will solve it.

Hey, guys, I tried to install the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, but my game does not see it , the game does not go in krash but it is as if it were not installed, I tried to install the 4.09 version but the game goes on krash. .. a suggestion? I know, perhaps I ask too much ... even some destroyers of Gio..tto remain invisible .. some will, some will not ... for me is a mystery ........
