WinSP MBT: Das Reich

[RecruitMonty]

Good evening, Gents,

Well ... I guess I'd better get the ball rolling on what you could expect in the future.

At the moment, there is some limited scope for further refinement of the Japanese OOB - mostly tying up loose ends - and the prospect of some tentative work on an Italian OOB - recycling existing icons.

I am not sure whether I want to issue a patch to the current 1.1.7P download for the work to be done on the Japanese OOB or whether I want to be more ambitious and add some more new icons - so new units.

If I did the latter, with the current total number of Shape files available, this would lead to far more clashes than advisable for anyone who just wants to play a mod of a perfectly good game.

Should, however, Andy and Don have plans to add even more additional aircraft, turretless and regular AFV icon space, then I can add more mod content without breaking newer versions of the game.

To avoid breaks, should this not be in the cards, we'd remain in Version 16, albeit, with increasing capacity constraints there too.

Right now I am looking at the Japanese OOB - helicopters - and the German OOBS - helicopters again.

Chaps, please do put some screenshots up of you playing the mod. It makes the whole development process just that little bit sweeter to know someone is enjoying the end product. Do please also list bugs, should you encounter them.

Best Regards.

Well I got everything else but Game Data d/l'ed... Any solution?

[Warhero]

How about using some other file sharing service (Mega, Badongo for example)?

[Warhero]

Sorry now I found how d/l Game Data. Everything is OK now.

Good evening, All.

I found this video on Youtube today.

https://youtu.be/qgY6hEuciTg?feature=shared

It is four years old.

Apparently someone downloaded an older version of the mod and made a video about it.

I have to say, I am chuffed .

Hopefully the content creator in question would like to have a go on the updated version, perhaps someone here could let them know that there is a new version.

Maybe they make another video. Especially since the install has been improved and that was a complaint in the last video.

Ideally we'd have an install wizard for the mod, but I wouldn't know how to make one and it is not the most straightforward mod to install.

Any way, I thought I would post it up for you all to see.

Have a great evening, everyone.

Good evening, Gentlemen,

I have a request for you, this evening. Are there any talented icon artists out there who fancy a stab at the attached?

It is the Mitsubishi MH 2000. As part of my ongoing work on the Japanese OOB, I am trying to make a credible helicopter fleet.

In reality this machine was only used on the civilian market, but it does have a military application as a troop transport.

An icon in Japanese livery - preferably green, would do wonders. I've tried my hand at it but I am not pleased with my work.

Best Regards,

Recruit Monty

779, 780 or 782 in MBT is "close enough" and it uses a four blade rotor



Put a meatball (Hinomaru) on either side of the fuselage and you are good to go

Good idea, I shall do so. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The 2000 nose glass is right to the front and that's a simple edit if you want to go that far

Hi RecruitMonty, First of all I want to give you my most sincere compliments for your mod. It's simply fantastic. I hope that one day you will be able to create the Italian oob too. For now I wanted to tell you that in the scenarios you attached some things are missing: the texts of scenarios 574 and 575 and the file 575.dat which makes this last scenario unplayable. Many thanks again for your considerable effort. Max from Florence, Italy
