For Bugfixes and Patches, look here:
Please follow up with the BAT 4.2.1 update:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,68071.0.html

note:
Windows may be a bit uncomfortable about downloading the installer .exe.
The files is safe and this is a false alarm:

It's a false positive.
Here's the virus report for the installer: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a8ef19d95c62bc93ee7da67357bbe8c495e2e1c8700bc42a860539cb0a90b548
The file is safe. It's only Microsoft's Defender and one more oddball who get triggered, and false positives unfortunately are quite a common thing for NSIS installers (see https://nsis.sourceforge.io/NSIS_False_Positives)

How do I install an update?

0. Back up whatever you need to conserve from #WAW3, #DOF3, #TGA3, JTW3
1. download all the 3 files into one folder (exe + 2 zip - make sure, this place is on your windows defender exception list!)
2. deactivate all JSGME Mods for safety
3. run the installer exe and direct the extraction into your BAT install
4. NEW! Select if you want WAW only or also DOF, TGA and JTW modules (for 4.1 installs only)
5. enjoy

note:
- the folders #WAW3, #DOF3, #TGA3, #JTW3 will be completely deleted and replaced! Make backups of material you want to preserve.


During installation, you will be asked, if you want to install just WAW or also DOF, TGA and JTW:







general:

There is an awful lot of new happening under the hood.

-New Selector v4.0.2

A new selector exe comes with this install!
Your Windows may try to protect and warn you when you launch the selector for the first time and you maybe must manually approve it for the first time.

Look into your #WAW3 folder for example and you will notoice a new folder structure. There now is only one single "BAT-classes" folder, which contains all java classes in an unhashed format. The new spec-revised EngineMod is now also completely merged into the BAT-classes.

-New BAT EngineMod!

The BAT EngineMod got a much needed update and full rework by java master Storebror and Whistler. Many fixes were written and new features were integrated. Now BAT Engine Mod has become it's own development branch with the EngineMod family - and that comes with consequences! It is as of now not only discouraged to run any other than the built-in EngineMod on BAT, but now it is practically guaranteed to cause you problems if you try. But there's no reason you have to try

Stick with the BAT EngineMod! It's the best there is for your install.

It is updated, maintained and is spec-built for BAT, to cater all its integrated features, such as Mission Triggers for example.

-GEE + Navaid mod v1.2 by sputnikshock

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,18977.msg204126.html#msg204126

NAVAID:

Navaid is a virtual navigator/navigation help intended for use with planes that did carry sophisticated navigation
instruments like D/F loop antennas and radio compasses, but do not have these in game.

When the player selects a radio beacon, Navaid mod emulates a navigator, who will report to the pilot bearing and
distance to the selected beacon. He will keep updating his report frequently until the player selects a different
beacon, which the navigator will then report on, or selects 'beacon: none' which will deactivate the reports. In
order for the navigator to properly receive radio signals and do his calculations (imagine him actually tuning into
two beacons and then triangulate your position) you need to be no further than 120km from a beacon, and no closer than
2.5km. Also, your altitude must be at least 150m above that of the radio beacon.

Navaid mod adds three objects to game. These need to be placed in mission builder to take effect. Also, the units will
only work when assigned to the same side as the player (Blue, Red, etc).

Navaid(km) outputs metric units, while Navaid(miles) outputs statute miles. Navaid(bearing) omits the distance
to/from a beacon and shows bearing only.

It works with any type of radio beacon, NDB, YG, YE(carrier), and blind landing beacons. Remember that a beacon needs to be assigned to the same side as the player in order to be receivable.

planes:

A whole new section for action!  --  LTA - the Lighter Than Air for the US Navy of the late 1930s.

The idea of extending the eyes of the fleet with airships, much faster than any ship, yet invulnerable to the imminent submarine scare led to some to the largest airships ever built, the USS Akron class. It even surpassed the Hindenburg in lift volume.

I started this development as a just-for-fun idea while plying around with mesh scaling. But I found interested partners to make this a proper projects. A TON of thanks to Storebror for java magic and to ZFlyer for catering my 3d wishes.


A few words on technical aspects of the mod itself

- Drones work only on one specific mother ship, they cannot be interchanged. In the aircraft list, these are sorted and you can identify which airship they belong to.
- The Akron and Macon, as any airship, had limited operation altitudes, the so-called pressure height. It's the maximum barometric altitude above which the airship would start to automatically vent gas and lose it.  The Akron-class has a pressure height of around 850m. With a special new FM feature, the airships can't be operated beyond much of that altitude.  So when building a mission, stick to 500 - 800 meters for good operations!
- Good operation speeds is between 90 and 120 km/h. 100 km/h is the best middle grounds as cruising speed. The Macon was capable of a top speed of 130 km/h
- The new airships cannot land! The gear parameters necessary for a plane of this size are not supported anymore by the base game, sorry.
- Docking works with the dock/undock key. You must assign that key.
- Docking is easy! All you have to do is to slowly move close, into the vicinity of the the docking trapeze and press the key. The game has a fairly reasonable threshold to "catch" you.

- Due to the highly integrated nature of the airships into EngineMod, and all the prerequisites for all the drones, I won't be making a stand alone for the time being.

The US NAVY Lighter-Than-Air-Force

- ZRS - USS Macon



The big scout carriers, like USS Akron and USS Macon were commissioned USN ships with a single docking trapeze under the internal hangar.
The Akron was eventually lost on April 4, 1933 with 73 hands of the 76 on board. Macon sunk on February 12, 1935 in a storm.

- Curtiss F9C-2 Sparrowhawk



The F9C-2 was a very small carrier fighter prototype, and was chosen for size. The Akron and Macon could carry four in an internal hangar and operated them mostly in a reconnaissance role. From late 1934, the aircraft were operated without landing gear over the ocean, to improve performance. You will find various loadout options with and without landing gear.

additional drones for the ZRS type:
- Consolidated N2Y Skyhook Trainer
- Grumman F2F-2 (fictional)
- Grumman F4F-4Z (fictional)
- WACO UPF-7 is also dockable and has received a skyhook loadout! It was established as a liaison trainer in 1934.


- ZRCV - USS Long Island  (fictional)



The concept of a true ZRCV floated around the BuAer from the later half of the 30s until as late as 1942. This mod is build after a BuAer design by  C. P. Burgess, that "could have been" in 1937/38. The length is 274m /898ft, volume is 270.265 m³ / 9,55 mio ft³.

With nine internal docking bays, one ship can carry half a squadron of bombers or fighters or a mix thereof.

drones:
- Northrop BT-1Z
- Grumman F3F-Z
- Grumman F4F-3Z
- Douglas SBD-3Z
- Grumman FM-2Z

BAT 4.1.1 Update

This is not just a patch, this is a veritable update, which brings you an tonandahalf of new content, along with a huge amount of fixes and improvements. I did a lot of work on cockpits for this. As some wise man once said, that's where we spend most of the time in this game after all.


general:


- Tow Target & Message updates - mace
- WxTech's 40m square palm plantation block object
- BATv4 Carrier Ops Consolidation (dogfight / muliplayer fix by Whistler)

- "Radio Ga Ga"  mod by Whistler
Enables Radio stations and beacons even if Music is turned off in the game settings. It effectively separates in-game radio from the general menu music feature!

maps:

- Nordsee summer + winter fix - Waggel/Mandril
- Truk 44 - Lonestar67
- Taiwan Strait - CountZero

To improve usability on smaller screens, I have separated some long map lists:
* Eastern Europe and Russia * now comes on two parts and  * ASIA * and *PACIFIC * become two map sections. Asia is basically continental Asia, Japan, New Guinea... ; Pacific is the islands and everything else.

- Fi-167 reworked
This plane never had a convincing cockpit of any kind so I put something together for this pack, based on the Ar-196T cockpit (SAS~Sani), with some additions.

- Until now, the plane was indestructible. Now it has a (very crude but working) fuselage hitbox, it can be shot at and it takes damage!
- opening canopy from inside view
- working hook
- dedicated FM
- Bonus: more loadouts, including a torpedo, and a few basic skins.

The plane is intended for use on the "Graf Zeppelin" or "Peter Strasser" (AI needs catapult)

notes and unfixed issues:
- Wingfold is not animated but after spawning on a carrier, you have to "unfold" the wings.. It was the best trade-off solution at this point.
- the spawn pattern is overlapping noses and tails. It looks a bit silly but was the best I could do at this point.
- Take off works! The aircraft is at the low speed limit for catapults so it may feel like a "bug", but AI and player can take off safely with every loadout.
- due to some pull to one side, AI can't take off without catapult. Graf Zeppelin has cats so it should be fine.
- Do not pull up hard after takeoff, the aircraft likes a very neutral initial acceleration once it goes over the ramp.
- AI can't take off from carriers without catapult due to strong pull to one side
- AI can't take off on land due to strong pull to one side
- after landing, the AI can sometimes drift to one side and fall off the deck.
- damage box is fuselage only.

- P-61 cockpit update (Northrop emblem, variometer fix)
- J9N Kikka cockpit update (position)
- A6M Zero family cockpit graphics unification (no more mix of old stock graphics and repaints!)

The Cockpit Clipping updates

Cockpit clipping happens when the invisibility bubble around the pilot in the cockpit interferes with the external plane 3d. You will then experience gaps in the wings when you move your head for example. This is a problem with many modded planes where cockpits were taken from other existing planes. With a certain java method, the size and shape of the invisibility bubble can be modified, so this interference can be reduced or even completely avoided.
It works not always to 100% satisfaction but a lot can be improved. Sometimes a slight modification of the cockpit 3do itself is also necessary.
I tinker as I go.

Here is a list of cockpits I modified in this package in regards to fixing clippings:

- Avro Anson (my "Patient Zero")
- Miles Magister
- L-5
- He-115
- Bf-108
- Hurricane family
- CR.32
- TBF Avenger family
- SB2C Helldiver family
- Hudson/Ventura/Harpoon family
- Boeing Stearman
- Fokker T.V
- AT-9 Jeep
- UC-78 Bobcat

BAT 4.1.2 Update

This quite big update brings new planes and quite many fixes, updates and extras. Such the ported HSFX Triggers! Set AI planes up to appear or take off when triggered. Make messages appear on screen. Make tanks move or artillery fire when triggered....


Under the hood - New basic files:

launcher .exe and dlls

With this update we are delivering a new set of base game files - a new updated launcher exe by SAS~Storebror and a new set of basic dlls by Carsmaster.

On first launch, your Windows may detect the new version of the exe and warn you about it. You will probably have to allow its launch once, so don't be alarmed.

The new set of .dlls is basically an attempt to elevate all games to one set of dlls that should provide a more robust tolerance with objects that hit or surpass the game-inherent polygon boundaries. They should also provide the same HD access for everyone with one single set of dlls.  These files are not brand new and have been around for some time as stand alone mod.

They have been in wide use for a long time without trouble and we have tested them ourselves in various setups. They have helped to solve several problem reports in Tech Help. There are no specific error reports known to us, so we are convinced they are an improvement and should therefore become standard issue.

dlls can be highly individual and work or refuse to work in combination with your drivers and hardware, as you know from the set 1 or 2 guessing game. There is only so much you can predict from the outside, other than try and test a variety of possible set ups. We think this is the best way and a safe way forward based on the information available.

The new dlls are installed automatically as default, you have to do nothing yourself!

Should you, for whatever reason, experience troubles with the new dlls, you can always track back and use the old type 1 or type 2 HD dlls which can be found in each BAT under
...\BATDOCS\BATDLLS\

The new set has been added as a copy as well, under BATDLLS-03_BAT-4096


general:




Trigger Happy

HSFX Triggers, originally created by Catsy , now converted to B.A.T. by Whister

A long time ago, Catsy created a box full of new mission building options, now finally available in BAT:

1 – The “Apparition” Trigger allows to activate an object (in its global meaning, i.e. a group of 1 to 4 planes, a static object, a ship, an artillery gun, a group of moving vehicles etc. )
2 – The “Start-Up“ Trigger allows to activate an object (in its global meaning) already included in the mission, provided it is mobile (able to roll, navigate or fly). In the case of the “Rockets” objects (V1, V2 etc.), this trigger allows to fire them.
3 – The “Apparition Related to Altitude” Trigger uses the same principle as the “Apparition” Trigger, along with the possibility to insert an altitude variation (positive or negative) compared to the Trigger-activating plane altitude.
4 – The “Message” Trigger allows to display on-screen messages during flight, without associating it to other actions.

Find a detailed documentation how to use Triggers as pdf inside your BATDOCS folder.

*Please note: This addition is interwoven with the current BAT Engine Mod. Adding any other Engine Mod version on top will possibly break the Trigger functions!  Maybe future Engine Mod versions by western will support this code.



NG HUD & NG Map integrated into B.A.T.



Two of the best additional enhancement mods by Whistler are now fully integrated and part of default B.A.T.


all about these mods, all the settings, options and enhancements can be found in Whistler's detailed descriptions:

Next Generation MAP (NG-MAP) Mod

Next Generation HUD (NG-HUD) Mod

... but I am sure you have been using them for a long time already anyway


The NG-CAM "Ordnance View" feature.

This great mod is a bit older but in my opinion undervalued. It comes in a variety of twin or single beam at various rotation speeds and with or without a visible lighthouse object. Find it under animated objects. A great way to populate  your coastal landscapes and makes great navigational landmarks.

- New Flightmodel, complete rebuild (no more nose over, less outlandish performance envelope)
    * note: The AI does not like to form up as wingman. There's a 50/50 chance the AI wingman will end up doing endless barrel rolls. It is
                advisable only use individual planes in individual flights
                It is an effect that can be observed with other WW1 FMs as well - Low power, high lift.

VC-10 / IL-62 new cockpit (BisonM)



I made a new two-seat cockpit for the Vampire T and Sea Venoms!

No more single seat pit for the two-seaters. It's based on a Mosquito pit, so it stays in the DeHavilland family.

Other era modules new content      -    only accessible if you previously installed v4.1 Blue Edge and the updates :


DOF:

Farman MF11 Hydro


My own modification: taking gio963tto's Farman 11 and added a pair of swimmers and a new FM, et voila.


-Zeppelins Auto Helmsman update

You can now order the helmsman to keep altitude or keep a heading by using misc #1 and #2 keys.
The automatic heading is very helpful to manage long climbs and long patrols.

Zeppelins also have slightly altered ground position, which makes "take-off" situations possible without crashing a propeller.

These modifications are available in all modules that hold Zeppelins.

- DH-68 Express integration, was previously only in WAW
- HP-42/45 new FM + cockpit update

Convair B-36 Peacemaker



Find a detailed manual in BATDOCS: "B36 Mod Manual.pdf"

Along come a few trial missions (Missions: Single (The Jet Age) -> US -> B-36)
  - Atomic Test "Ivy King"
  - Recon over Kamchatka
  - Snarkattack - War Games

The B-36 "Peacemaker" is a strategic bomber built by Convair (Consolidated and Vultee) and operated by the USAF from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 is the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built, at 230 ft (70.1 m). The B-36 was the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal from inside its four bomb bays without aircraft modifications. With a range of 10,000 mi (16,000 km) and a maximum payload of 87,200 lb (39,600 kg), the B-36 was capable of intercontinental flight without refueling. Initially built with six R-4360-41 Wasp Major 3.500hp engines in pusher configuration, it soon became apparent that additional jet power would significantly increase performance. This led to the mounting of four J47 jet engines in double pods outside the main engines from the D version onwards. Earlier B series aircraft were soon retrofitted. The F version introduced a souped-up version of the Wasp Major, R-4360-53 with 3.800hp. Retrofit and change of equipment became an almost yearly routine throughout the ten-year service life of the B-36. While at first, it sported sixteen 20mm guns in eight turrets (some retractable), this now outdated defensive armament was removed in 1954/55 with Project Featherweight, leaving only a radar-controlled tail turret. Its greatest achievement however was, never to be used in combat. A job well done.

This Mod contains:
6 Bomber versions
Convair B-36B Peacemaker, 1948
Convair B-36D Peacemaker, 1951
Convair B-36F Peacemaker, 1951
Convair B-36F-III Peacemaker, 1955
Convair B-36D-III Peacemaker, 1955
Convair B-36H-III Peacemaker, 1955

The good old "JetBomber" gets company by some of BisonM's 3d variations in their own slot. But with a twist: I modified the cockpits to appear more bomber-like and cleaned of fighter material, updated the FM with corrected engine data and modified the skin graphics (It is a "Franklenplane", it is not completely skinnable by regular means!)

[greybeard307]

Downloaded and installed on Blue Edge 4.13 and Red Core 4.12. When trying the modules of Blue Edge I notice the piston planes start in air with engines off but jets don't. This doesn't happen on Red Core. Have I missed something ? Just tried an Me262 on waw, engine off air start.
Thanks to all for the update by the way.
Update, uninstalled, 're-installed over Blue Edge 4.12 all working, don't know what I screwed the first time but all hunkey dory now.
Again thanks to all involved for the update

I get this Windows Defender message every time I try to DL, just thought I ought to make you aware as I do feel a little uncomfortable with it

[KingTiger503]

[SAS~Storebror]

I get this Windows Defender message every time I try to DL, just thought I ought to make you aware as I do feel a little uncomfortable with it

It's a false positive.
Here's the virus report for the installer: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a8ef19d95c62bc93ee7da67357bbe8c495e2e1c8700bc42a860539cb0a90b548
The file is safe. It's only Microsoft's Defender and one more oddball who get triggered, and false positives unfortunately are quite a common thing for NSIS installers (see https://nsis.sourceforge.io/NSIS_False_Positives).
