Darn! I was hoping for, and voted for, the Me-262. Looks like I came up just short. Maybe the next add-on plane possibly?
I noticed some additional campaigns when I logged on last night. You can set them up but not play them. I started a 1944 Daylight Bombing campaign. Although I couldn't fight it, it was cool to see some of the planes that will be available in the full release.
Looking forward to this game when it's released. Having a blast with the demo and local games against the computer.

pakfront, SLOW DOWN! It is fun to get 40 tons airborne though.
Find those bumps in the trails and nail them at full throttle in 4th of 5th gear = hangtime. :eek: Moon, didn't know you could switch the TC view to a non-magnified view. I found it very hard to see anything with the default 2.4x (or whatever) zoom view from the TC position. Have to try that tonight. Are those the same keys that switch sight views in the gunner's position?
Don't have the full game...yet. Purchased yesterday. Hoping for a Friday delivery. Having a blast (literally) with the demo.

I'm guessing almost every forum member has this one pre-ordered.Originally posted by inff:Eric Young Squad Assault 2 also is coming:

Texture flickering? Do you mean the shimmering effect in trees, rooftops, etc.?

I'll try cleaning out the PBEM dir first.
Thought there might be a registry key missing but no matches for CMBB. CMAK matches look to be only for uninstall.
Looks like I'll be reinstalling an OS over the weekend.
-
Click on "Join Multiplayer", "Load PBEM" and the Open dialog box doesn't display for me to select the file to load. CM locks and I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL twice to reboot.
This occurs with both CMBB or CMAK.
Running Windows ME with most recent updates from MS.
Any suggestions other than nuking the OS and reinstalling?
-
Thanks for the offer and suggestions, Redwolf.
I ordered a new Asus FX5700 (not the LE) from newegg.com this morning for a little under $150 USD. A bit more than I wanted to pay but the price/performance vs. the FX5600 made it worth it (only about $15 USD more than the FX5600).

Looking for an Nvidia card with performance comparable to the Ti4600. Memory is bad on this card (random colored blocks with 3D games). Doesn't need to be anything super powerful as it's for my old Window ME box that I use to play CM on.
Don't want an ATI card as I already have one on my Windows XP box and the FSAA in CM is pretty crappy compared to the Ti4600. Plus the other associated problems with CM and ATI cards.
Looking for something cheap that will get me by until CMX2 is out. $100 USD or less would be nice.
What should I get that is easy to find?

Someone needs to inform our beloved kingofthehill that Babelfish is a literal translator.

Yes. They only have row boats but can somehow take out the Bismarck with a fishing hook and an oar.Originally posted by Sergei:Are Finns included?

Matt (or whoever),
"Down in Flames" sounds like "Over the Reich" or "Flight Commander 2" in concept. If so, guaranteed purchase here. I loved "Flight Commander 2". Never purchased "Over the Reich" and wish I had.

Maybe he's suggesting coconuts migrate?

Anyone know of a fix for this?
I have all FSAA and AF settings maxed (6xFSAA, 16xAF) and still get a shimmering effect on trees, roofs, buildings, doodads, you name it.
I had a Geforce Ti4600 that I replaced a few months ago (bad memory) that had some incredibly smooth FSAA in CM compared to what I'm getting now.
Using the Catalyst 4.3 drivers, Radeon 9800 (non-pro) on Windows XP Pro SP1.
Any advice/tips/tricks would be appreciated.

I have just become a victim of this bug playing Fruhlingswind as the Germans.
I lost this scenario in the demo to a human player and wanted to try again against the AI to see how I screwed up.
Had everything timed perfectly for a coordinated infantry assault under supressing mortar, light artillery and heavy machine gun fire. Then the bug hit and wasted half my mortar spotters rounds off the map edge. At least they didn't come back on me.
I really hope BFC squashes this bug in the next patch. Arty becomes worthless in the desert or very dry conditions.

Where at? I received my two copies (one for me and fellow grog I work with) in Cedar Rapids today. USPS Priority Mail.Originally posted by Panzertruppe:I'll still wait to see if my game arrives soon..but next time I'll order from Spain, England, Germany, The West Coast, East Coast..anyplace but Iowa!

Yeah! More camo! Very cool!
Is that the camo scheme you lost or was that a different one? Either way, very nice job again (as always).
-
Kingfish,
You need to tell Sulla to pull his head out and get it fixed. Guess he is too busy chapping his lips on Eric Young's butt.
How about posting them to the scenario depot or CMMODS or somefink.
I know you guys are trying to keep them separate but if your host sucks, time to move on I guess.
How about asking Matt to give B&T an area on combatmission.com?

MikeyD,
You think you could try to apply that camo to some German vehicles. Like maybe one of your StuG's? (hint, hint)
Good stuff.
-
Nightcrawler's CMBB sound pack has some good sounds. I would definately download it. I know what Axe2121 is talking about with the hand-to-hand combat sounds, better than the default "slap fight" sounds that come with CMBB. The Russian SMG sounds are VERY good, almost terrifying when you hear them rip up close when playing as the Axis. Makes you REALLY want to keep those Russian SMG units at arms length.
However, some of the sounds were a bit much for me, especially the explosion sounds.
In the end I did a "pick-and-choose" from Nightcrawler, Ohjusmies and Oddball, plus some mods of my own. You might want to do the same. Takes some time but the results can be worth it.
-
Ahh, yes. I remember these.
The good old days of CMMOS.
Look even better dirty.
Good to see you still making a guest appearence now and again.
-
And you said you couldn't apply camo well? That StuG looks pretty damn good to me! Same goes for your King Tiger and what you did with Makjager's Lynx.
Keep 'em coming! And more camo please.
-
Thanks, MikeyD. I figured it was the --4.bmp but wanted to make sure that was the only one before I started experimenting.
-
MikeyD,Originally posted by MikeyD:If you want this scheme on the late StuG IIIG all you have to do is change the bmp numbers (except the different cannon bmps can't change). The late StuH and StuG are the same vehicle except for the gun.
Me, I'm so fond of the mid StuH42 mod (which I NEVER see in the game) I have half an urge to change-over the numbers to make it a mid Stug IIIG (whic is in practically every scenario!)
As long as you're VERY careful the Stug and StuH mods can mix-and-match a lot of art.
I would like to try this but I have one question. Which BMPs are for the cannon?

What about Macromedia Flash? We need as much Flash as possible for as much of the UI as possible.

Now that's just cruel.
Sounds like we can expect the 262 to come buzzing by in the near future.
Looking forward to more campaigns.
Any chance we could see an expansion towards the Eastern Front? I'd like to do some battles like IL-2 without having to use IL-2.
