Rapidshare though is a PITA, shouldn’t complain though as it’s free.

Anybody any thoughts on how best to incorporate this into current installs? I’m thinking I might make a copy of my UP1.7 install and then add this map pack to it for a combined UP1.7/Channel install.

Hopefully, it will be incorporated into the UP at some point.

Cheers,

WB.

I’m sure I heard someone mention there is going to be a patch to the U1.7 pack which will incorporate this.

I’m thinking I might make a copy of my UP1.7 install and then add this map pack to it for a combined UP1.7/Channel install.

That’s a great idea WB, now we’re all getting there it would be a pity to jeopardise online compatibility

Goon Show, you had to be there :slight_smile:

I’ve managed to get it working with the Ultrapack. It’s doable with lots of care and attention - the UP file structure is a bit different to other packs due mainly to the relevant folders being in the ‘files’ folder rather than the ‘mods’ folder as per the AAAUI pack. Therefore Canons readme needs a little interpretation before install. Also, both the LAL mods mentioned in Canons readme are already included in the UP so don’t bother with those bits.

Let me know if anybody is having any issues and I’ll endeavour to help.

Tally Ho,

WB.

I keep getting an error message when I un-rar them, so don’t know whats happening

I just selected the first part Kris, extracted it to a folder and the rest just followed on automatically. Are you using winrar or some such? The extracted folder is 727MB in size.

WB.

I created a folder on the desktop and directed part 1 there, it asked for part two, then stopped asking, if I point part three I get an error message saying part of the file is missing.

Re-downloded but same thing again.

Normally it doesnt asks for part 2 , it just keeps going on automatically when all zips/rars are in the same location.

I created a folder on my desktop and using Winrar just dragged the files to the folder, same for parts 2-4 and just let them overwrite each other. In the end I have a folder the same size as WB.

I’m sure this Canon’s Map is a remarkable work… but unfortunately I’m not been able to make it working on my PC… may be I did something wrong … just I don’t understand what is it.

What I did, is:

I created a temp folder, dowloaded all four rar files in it, un-rared the first one, secon and third followed automatically, just the fourth was not automatically recognized because it was expected named different way.

Before process completed, a pop up window warned about a unpacking file error; so I decided to download all files once more time… but this didn’t make any difference as then I got the same error again.

I thought… OK, may be it is not important, let try to install… the chosen destination was an AAA1.1.1. (of course I switched it 4.8 as first thing). The installation procedure is simple and well described in Doc file… I’m pretty sure I did it correctly.

I had no problem at all and once started the game (turned 4.09m) I could see the four maps were in the edit list… problem is, when I try to upload one of them, nothing happen excpt a small string in the bottor of the screen, reporting about a missing 2D file (?)

Wonder why this happen? did I download a corrupted file? … no, rather improbable… so, what else? any idea? :confused:

Hey Red,

Did you download all the needed stuff, like TOW-Buildings, Hangars etc.?
Otherwise try to download the part thet makes problems from a different location?

I believed all that stuff was already in AAA1.1.1 mod, however, I’ll download them and install before the map mod… hope it may work :rolleyes:

Reinstalled the 1.1.1 patch (except static.ini) and all works

Nice, I had to take the light version of the actors.static otherwise my game crashed when loeading the map :rolleyes: Well, who needs trees :o

I must say, its great to fly this map! :w00t::banana:

And the Spit IIa looks great on it.

Looks nice,
I get the impression there will be a lot of Battle of Britain skins appearing very soon :slight_smile:
