Battle 4 Malta mod demo

[planespotter]

I have downloaded this

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3828542/Battle_4_Malta_Demo_available#Post3828542

First it will not run, then I see it is not compatible with team fusion so I reinstall the game, actually reverify is it, and make a new folder and then put Malta

Now all is fine and I am flying Stuka over Malta!

Yippeee!

This looks cool ...er...hot...but I have not been able to get it working despite following all the install instructions...what have I missed?

[planespotter]

impossible to say i cannot see your pc :)

but maybe you did not put the files right place?

there are pictures in the thread where they should go

just check for the 'desert' folder is it in your steam directory in the right games folder

also there is a file kegeteys.dll, is that there?

[jamesdietz]

Got it! I needed to save my ATAG game elsewhere & do a Virgin Install of Clod,put this mod of Malta over that & it all worked...Off to bomb Valetta harbor!

Good effort Heinkill and Vasiliy, this gives another couple of missions outside of London, and in the Med. Continue the good work.

Agreed, but no tf patch compatibility is a no go. I assume it will be updated with the next tf release?

[planespotter]

yes but you can have virgin, malta and team fusion all at once just make one copy for malta, one for tf and keep your virgin cod

it is what i have but if you never play anymore virgin cod there is no point i guess.

ciao

This is a piece from Heinkill's post at Sim HQ: -

[Is anyone else working on a Malta map?

Yes, Team Fusion has it in the pipeline, though there is no word on a release date. You can be assured that if they do it, it will be with great accuracy and attention to detail though.]

In the mean time we have a workable med type mission which is enjoyable. If you don't like the idea, don't install it.
The installation process is very simple and easy if you follow the instructions.

I now have three installs: -

(1) Basic virgin (ok, I do have one Keygetys mod in it ( gun site Reticle) and Heinkill's mod installed over that without any problems)
(2) TF version (up to date with current TF patch)
(3) Heinkill's Malta

Try it, if you don't like it, delete it. Doesn't affect anything else.

I gather you can't use the Malta Mod/map with the team Fusion patch. Shame. Or am I wrong?

[planespotter]

No, not compatible with team fusion mod.

So I have three versions, is v easy to do.

Team fusion I use most with Redux and dsoft campaigns

Malta i am using now for fun to make some my own new missions

Original cliffs version I keep so I can make new mods if I need.

I find fps is not too bad in malta mod because of no trees and there has been some work on clouds and dust to help fps.

Missions of the first chapter is now here:

I put it on a virgin copy of the s steam folder section...works fine & I can play desert versions of nearly all the missions for fun while keeping my ATAG copy for my careers.

[CWMV]

This sim just isnt worth playing without the tf mod, thats why I'm surprised.

[planespotter]

I like both Malta and TF they each arendifferent and have things I dont like, I hate HATE HATE the flashing lights reflections in TF mod. But I like all else. Same w Malta it runs fine with good fps for me but the textures of course could be better and a real map would be better but hey.

Yippeee!


Many thanks for the heads up! First for the initial map install & now for the first pack of missions! It took a little hassle to find the actual download site but once i did the download the install was straight forward.These are primarily Italian missions ( alas no Italian RT...) over Malta,but since they are "single" missions they can be modified with substitute planes.This new work does add variety to CloD & I am all for it!

Yes I am having much fun with the Italian machines, have not started the British yet.

I guess I will have more enjoyment from the next chapter which looks it will be Luftwaffe aircraft with many Bf110 missions I hope as this is my favourite, but also the 109E4.

How do you change the aircraft though please - I am not so familiar with single missions, I can change which flight by clicking the pilot figure, but how do I change the aircraft for example from a G50 to a Bf110 and the BR20 to Ju88?

On this screen, where do I click to change the aircraft type?

And will this give the right skin with Afrika markings?

Thanks James.

I'm not sure how the Malta Mod works, and there may be a limited set of Planes to chose from. But you can usually change the planes by double clicking on them (on the small image of them in your screenshot). You then chose which ones to fly by clicking on the very small image of a pilot abouve the plane thumbnails. In your screenshot the pilot is highlighted on the bottom-right aircraft (G50).
I might have missed something out, maybe someone else can add to this?

I don't know if this will help...but make sure you are installing over a virgin install of CloD and you follow shortcut instructions exactly...

THX yes now I have it. This is great mod I hope we get Luftwaffe missions soon.

is the same I thought, no, I don't want to go back to virgin cod after team fusion mod but... it is worth the work I am finding. it really is like having a whole new sim and without trees and other things turned down framerates is fine for me - this mod also optimises dust and clouds to help too.

it is very easy to go back to virgin and then create two mod setups for tf mod and for malta.

so, why not? matla is a good change from all that green.

I've lost countless planes to the "invisible" forest.http://www.einkauvie.com/1.jpghttp://www.einkauvie.com/2.jpghttp://www.einkauvie.com/3.jpghttp://www.einkauvie.com/4.jpghttp://www.einkauvie.com/5.jpg

[planespotter]

Invisible forest? I think the trees in this sim are not collision-able (is a word?).

Or are you showing irony? :)
