This is the support thread for the B-1B Dyess AFB package

Just saw these comments over at Evolve AI. Can someone attend to the problems?

"Three of your B-1s have some flightplan troubles, flights are (by error) longer than 24Hrs and therefore they have the usual "departure before arrival" problem.

And is it common in the mil-ai community to allocate the same registration to multiple flights????

As I am not that much into the mil-stuff I can only assume that there are not as many B-1s around (in real life) as you need for 70 indepedent flightplans..."

Cheers

Stew

yeah, sorry for the late response, been at work all day. ok, firstly the registration numbers I chose to just use the ones that were actually painted onto the C-130s and B-1s, I don't like using made up registrations and at the time I couldn't find reg numbers for the C-130 squadrons stationed at Dyess. On the number of B-1s thas an accurate number, the Dyess B-1 wing is fairly large and there are even more stationed at Ellsworth and Edwards(that pack will come at a later date, not this week). As far as fp issues, they were checked by numerous sources, if a big enough issue rises with them, I will patch the package down the road.

We're not perfect but we do try on every package

Sorry for saying so but I think that's bit of a weak excuse... Anybody with access to the Scramble database could have given you the numbers, took me less then a minute to find these:

39th AS:
62-1811, 73-1582, 73-1597, 73-1598, 74-1667, 74-1670, 74-1674, 74-1680, 74-1687, 74-1691, 74-2061, 74-2067, 74-2069, 74-2130, 74-2132, 74-2134

40th AS:
62-1799, 62-1864, 63-7868, 74-1663, 74-1665, 74-1666, 74-1669, 74-1671, 74-1673, 74-1675, 74-1677, 74-1679, 74-1688, 74-1689, 74-2063, 74-2065, 74-2072

You are welcome to put your own packages together.

That was not a very grateful sounding post.

It is true that Scramble is a great source for serial #'s but it is also a pay site. I think it's around $70 or $80 US. The free side of it has limited access to the database.

So I guess you are saying that these fine people at MAIW should be paying for info so that you can have something for free.

Looking forward to the BAIW packages.

nevermind. not gonna sink to that level.

That's not what I am saying at all, just read my post again... In fact I am the one paying...

No need to sink to a certain level, I thought this part of the forum was also to give feedback... Be it positive or negative...

Lets not get the handbags out again lads

I think the moral of this is if you are not sure ask the question, then if you dont get a reply, guess!

Uh, is it safe to step into this thread yet?

Someone has identified in a different thread that the Dyess C-130s often use the callsign "Hazard." I had this one sitting around from a previous package, so here it is for anyone wishing to update their files.

Dan

LOL, Dan its safe man. just some differing of opinions.

Version 2 of this package was just upped to Avsim and should be avaliable in the morning, new features include new callsigns, new FDE effects for the B-1B by Mike

WOW...avsim in on the ball tonite, version 2 is already up:

http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=99040

In version 2 of this package there are 4 effects files. Are any of these for the C-130? Cause in the first version of the package there was a effects file named fx_nicklesmokeC130.fx. I would like to know if I need to delete that file? Because that effect file is not included in version 2. I don't want any problems because of 2 C130 effect files.

there wasn't a smoke effect file for the first package, that most likely came from one of the herk packages, all the effects included for this package were for the B-1s

Your right, that was my mistake.

Tom/Danny/Des

Can you check your C130 H files
I have just installed version 2 and it has deleted/overwritten all the other [fltsm] sections in the WoA file so now I only have 2 c130's listed instead of 50 ish

I have done it twice now and the same thing happens

Can someone else check please
Gary

edit - its only the cfg file all the textures are still there

Gary,

please look at this thread, we are investigating, in the mean time it seems a manual install is the best option to go

thas odd I'll have a look, it didn't do that to mine though...
