#970 CM11 not functioning

Posted by Gremlin_WoH on 03 February 2012 - 11:47 PM in Open Forum (WoH)

Hi,

CM was written with a very old version of Visual Basic. I think It may not work at all under modern OS.

Here is our download page for RB3D patch managers.

http://www.wingsofho...anagers.en.html

There are updates for CM11. You could try them. And also there is a not widely known replacement of CM called RB Patch Manager which offers the same functionality but was written to run under WIndows XP. CM was written when Windows 98 was a modern OS.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

FS W.W.I Logo


News from ArgonV: there is a new plane pack for Fighter Squadron W.W.I called Pioneers of Flight.

Quote

This is the very first release of a totally new Plane Pack for Fighter Squadron - World War One. As such, of course the contents within are considered Beta, and in an ever-changing state. Also, this release just includes the first 5 aircraft, with basic missions and ground units. In the future, we hope to offer more aircraft, varied ground units and even a new airfield designed for Pioneers of Flight.


Please read his posting in our forums for further details.

#960 Flying Corps Gold

Posted by Gremlin_WoH on 25 October 2011 - 07:45 PM in Technical Help (FCG)

Phil,

I presume it is a hardware incompatibility. I got it running on my six years old laptop with Windows XP SP3. In your case I am out of ideas now. Sorry. These instructions should make it work. Yet they are several years old now and may be based on older hardware specs. You could only try to run it in a virtual machine with Windows XP installed like VirtualBox. They offer 3D acceleration now but simulate a more basic hardware. Also it may be that one of the recent Windows XP or driver updates may have broken it. If you have a older machine and a copy of Windows 95 then you could also give this a try.

Cheers

#956 Rise Of Flight: RoFCampaign 10.0

Posted by Gremlin_WoH on 06 October 2011 - 08:29 PM in News (WoH)

Rise Of Flight Logo

RoFCampaign 10.0 is available for download now.


Sorry for the inconvenience. I have uploaded RoFCampaign 10.0 by myself as the download manager of my board software had problems apparently. Link: RofCampaign 10.0 Download.

I am still clueless why the download function was broken as it first worked. I 'presume' it had something to do with always using the same filename for each new version. Although this should not happen. I have uploaded the file as RofCampaign10.0.zip versus the earlier versions named RoFCampaign.zip. It should work now. I will do an update of the download manager soon which has been released by the board's manufacturer recently. Hope this will correct some things.

Cheers and apologies

Guys,

sorry for the inconvenience. I was away on business trips. I have uploaded RoFCampaign 10.0 by myself. Link: RofCampaign 10.0 Download.

I am still clueless why the download function was broken as it first worked. I 'presume' it had something to do with Pat not including a versioning in his filename. I have uploaded the file as RofCampaign10.0.zip versus the earlier versions named RoFCampaign.zip. Maybe the system did not get it in earlier cases. It should work now. I will do an update of the download manager soon which has been released by the board's manufacturer recently. Hope this will correct some things.

Cheers and apologies

- You fly the mission in RoF
- Members of your squadron are assigned to the mission.
- Friendly and enemy flights are generated.
- Mission parameters are varied.
- You may or may not lead depending on your status in the squadron.

#939 Rise Of Flight: Update 1.019 Available

Posted by Gremlin_WoH on 09 June 2011 - 11:21 PM in News (WoH)

Rise Of Flight Logo

777 Studios have released their Update 1.019 to Rise Of Flight. A lot of improvements have gone into this version such as the new career mode, a revamp of the graphics system including Nvidia SLI and ATI Crossfire support (see graphics primer on RoF Forums), two new mission types with artillery spotting and aerial reconnaissance, and a new flyable plane, the Breguet 14B.

The new career mode took the RoF Team quite a lot of time and resources to implement. For those of you who have already used Pat Wilson's excellent third party add on 'Rof Campaign' you will see if the internal new career mode brings you any enhancement over what you already used for a long time. Mind you that RofCampaign was developed 'single-handedly' in his free time by Pat Wilson. The new career mode is described by the developers as follows:

Quote

Finally, the main star of this update is the new Career Mode, which was the main goal of this update after months of difficult development. It was a concept in our heads from the very beginning and we are finally able to release it only after 2 years of further development. As you can see a project like ROF is not easy and takes time. This is a very unique mode of gameplay. It has no set beginning or set end and total gameplay time of the new Career is easily few thousand hours. It includes elements from books, diaries, biographies and military history. It creates an excellent foundation or plot, which in addition to your imagination can make a sort of memoir with narrative bibliographic depth and accuracy. Before we began making a WWI sim, when we were game players in the community like you, we were reading memoirs of pilots, imagining all of the dogfights vividly as if we were there participating in each fight by ourselves. The aim of our work in the new Career Mode was to create a sort of "memoir generator" for you. Now you can create unique experiences and complex or simple fates for pilots who can to become legends or simply die in the first air battles under your command. On the other hand, all players of the new Career mode will be united by common conditions and will be able to see each other's achievements as the progress in a squadron. Even with identical initial conditions each pilot’s virtual life will be unique and no two Career paths will be identical.

37. Airfields now restore landed planes if they correspond to the current airfield plane set and country as long as the "Return friendly planes" option is enabled for the airfield in question using the Mission Editor.

Hello,

I joined today and tried to download pat wilson campaign generator for Rise of Flight 9.2.

When I am on the site without being logged in I can see a download button but of course cannot download it. Now when I log in I cannot see that download button at all. However the download link on the right site of the page for the previous version works.

I tried it on Firefox 4.0, IE9 and Opera 11 after I saw that browser is in the officially working ones mentioned. All with the same result.

As far as I can tell I am approved and I should be able to download or am I missing something ?

Thanks a lot, browsing in the meantime a bit the forums, lots of interesting things here :)



Tom,

you need to be approved manually by me to post and download. I have approved you in the meantime but do not know if you tried to download before or after that. Please try it again. If it fails please log out and log in again. Also please allow wingsofhonour.com to set cookies in your browser (before you log in).

Please try this and report back.

Perhaps it's on the list and I missed it, but there's a very poor sim called Flyboys Squadron - http://www.flyboysgame.com/

I made the mistake of purchasing it in the thirst for a WWI flight sim, and it was a mistake - finally bought a decent desktop to replace my aging laptop and am learning ROF now :-)

What you have done with the website is wonderful, and am also very happy to see your close involvement with ROF.

Jupes!

Nice to 'see you' :)

You are right there is Flyboys Squadron and I just noticed the list is outdated. A more recent one is here ... I need to update the above one.
