What's News - 2/7/10

[_AH_Duff4r]

I will try to add this weekely.  I totally realize this isn't for everyone, but should at least be of some interest to most.

WARNING **ONLY MODIFY A COPY OF THE GAME, NOT THE _AH_Official** You been WARNED!!

1.) Last night Boosher and I headed off into parts unknown and downloaded the first ever "drivable" vehicles.  The Jeep and the KubelWagen.  The cars are total blast to drive.  It won't be long and those that don't want a plane will be defending the field in a tank or AA battery.  Anyone want to drive a PT boat?
To install: Remove the (-) from your MODs folder but...the STD folder that resides with in must now have a (-) in front like this: -STD

Download:

a.) DiffFM.7z - Put this in your MODS folder.  It must be first. Or put it into your jsgmemods so you can take it out.  It must be out to fly Jets.

b.) Vehicles - put this in your MODS folder

c.) Add this to your air.ini -

Wagen             air.WAGEN 2                                     g01   SUMMER
Jeep                air.JEEP 2                                      usa01   SUMMER

d.) Add this to your plane_ru.properties

Wagen                KubelWagen, 1942
Jeep                   Jeep, 1942

2.) We also added to the the L-5A Stinson which has been modified to be the first ever "Arty-Spotter".  This is very cools as you look out the left window then hit weapon # 1 key to spot them then the weapon # 2 key and the AA batteries will fire a salvo!  Boosh and I had fun with this :-}  I personally like this...what a great way to relax or to bring your kids/grandkids into the game.

Download the L-5A here: Stinson L-5A - put in MODS folder

Add this to your air.ini: L-5A        air.L_5A            NOINFO  usa01 SUMMER

Make a new Paint Schemes Folder called: "L-5A"

3.) I now have Tigers sounds working but....only with the SAS (<== illegal for _AH!!) buttons files.  Seems talk about making this UP 2.0 buttons compatible has slowed down a bit.  Hopefully, we'll see more discussion this week.


4.) UltraPack, in a constant effort to provide only the best is working on Patch 2.0n (as in Nancy). This will be ongoing thing as more planes, maps, and stuff :-} is added. What's in the patch....more corrections and additions.  YES, it will install directly over 2.0 or 2.0m.



S~ ALL.  I will be at 3 different Superbowl parties and of course....not all at the same time.  C U at Mod Night, tomorrow night.

OBTW - Did we tell you the headlights work by turning on your landing lights and that the wiper works by cycling your reticle dimmer?
