I think its because the mission maker has been edited so this mission needs to be re done but  I am sure ranger will come by in sec to correct me.
Title: Re: ***NEW MISSION*** OPERATION THUNDER
Post by: USRanger on January 17, 2010, 12:00:34 AM
Correct Curry.  The mission needs changed from a .mis file to a .res file.

I no longer have the terrain up for download.  If somebody has it, could they post it.  I forgot I'd done it for this thread and deleted it off my esnips account when I was getting rid of some stuff.

Can I have the .wma of the songs. They are cool. I love that music. Also, I just need a copy of the .res. Not the mission done different.

It says to put the thunder folder with the .wav files in your missres folder.............there is no thunder folder in the zip file. The only thunder anything is the op.thunder.mis that goes in the mission folder.  :headscratch:

You put the mission's .res file in your missres folder?  Double check.

This sounds like exactly the same thing that is happening to me (but I with my Solomon and Hollandia missions; I haven't yet tried this one).


Title: Re: ***NEW MISSION*** OPERATION THUNDER
Post by: sonic1234 on August 12, 2010, 09:28:51 AM
The solomon mission is nice on the current version without warp points  :) its also funny watchin the bombers split s
into a dogfigt, you dont see that everyday  :lol
But anyways, I really liked this mission (even though i havent played it)
Hope we can get it fixed  :pray

Sonic1234:

Please clarify for me. I can't get my Solomons mission to play for me under the current version of Aces High (2.20 Patch 3). The mission never even shows up as available. Are you saying that it works for you with V2.20P3? Or are you referring to an older version of aces High?


Regards,


-Peabody-

Post by: sonic1234 on August 15, 2010, 12:21:50 PM
Yes, the Solomon mission works on the ,most current version of Aces High (ver.2.20 p3) just put the .res in the missres and the .mis in the misstemp file the terrain is solomonc put it in the terrain folder :)
Title: Re: ***NEW MISSION*** OPERATION THUNDER
Post by: bbosen on August 17, 2010, 10:04:13 AM
Thanks Sonic.

It's working now. I don't know why it didn't work before. I couldn't get the mission to show up at all. Today, after downloading the .res file again, it just showed up. I can't think of anything I did differently.  :rolleyes:

To clarify: You need only download the .res file. No need to download any ".mis" file, as that one seems to be built automagically the first time you run the mission. You can get the required .mis file here:

http://techvideoreview.com/FlightSimMovies/AcesHigh/Ah2Missions/SolomonMelee/Ah2MissionSolomonMeleeFullPage.htm

I just stored that "solomonmelee01a.res" file in my "missres" folder. At that point, there was NOTHING in my "misstemp" folder, but the mission showed up as one of my "offline missions" choices. I was able to fly the mission. After that, I saw that a file named "solomonmelee01a.mis" had been created in my "misstemp" folder.

Further important items:

1: You will need the "solomonC" terrain, which you can obtain here:

http://techvideoreview.com/FlightSimMovies/AcesHigh/Ah2Terrains/Ah2SolomonIslandsTerrain.htm

2: The computer-generated planes aren't very smart. They crash into the ground a lot. They were much, Much, MUCH better in Aces High 2 Version 2.13.1.  That old version continues to be the best one for flying offline missions (and it properly supported warp segments too).

3: When you first start out in a P38, you'll be parked very close to a cluster of new trees that were never present in earlier AH versions. If you try to just taxi forward, you'll hit them, even if you try to turn away from them very hard. The only way I could turn hard enough to avoid a tree collision was to shut off one engine and goose the other, allowing my P38 to almost spin in place.

2: The computer-generated planes aren't very smart. They crash into the ground a lot.

Ya I was wondering the same thing. They will fly defensive right into the ground or mountain what ever you can find. Most missions are like this. I tried a Ruins Rumble flying the P 51's vs the 109's. With out firing one shot I was able to scratch 2 flights.

3: When you first start out in a P38, you'll be parked very close to a cluster of new trees that were never present in earlier AH versions. If you try to just taxi forward, you'll hit them, even if you try to turn away from them very hard. The only way I could turn hard enough to avoid a tree collision was to shut off one engine and goose the other, allowing my P38 to almost spin in place.

I also had this problem LOL. The first time I just cut hard left and put on the left brake, with out cutting power to the left engine. I was able to make the turn with out hitting my wings. However, my elevator did not do so well. I did hear something tare off when I made the turn. I looked back from the outside view and all looked okay. When I hit 100 knots and pulled back things started to go very wrong. At first I just thought, she is just a bit heavy from the load out. Lets give it one notch of flaps. By the time the flaps started to come down I was at about 120 knots. As they got to the first position the plane did a complete loop, then landed on its tail. I only wish I could replicate this in a dogfight some how :devil

NICE!  :rock I can imagine that were you killed? :lol or did u have to abort the mission?
oh and by the way bbosen your right  I personally choose to fly the F6F :airplane: (I love that plane but its so big and heavy  :frown: )  so i dont have that problem except when i fly the P-38. Very nice mission by the way  :salute

http://techvideoreview.com/FlightSimMovies/AcesHigh/Ah2Terrains/Ah2SolomonIslandsTerrain.htm


When I try to click on the "solomonc.res" link, all I get is a webpage with a bunch of garbled symbols:

"T #h.e?4ާܒqF=L 2,?\t JOR=ZJ/ cOG5ew ޥ<r;F?S-~9~Ep+!Q% S}G[hϒݼ.C0mTD/ SAJ,tv#k?W…7xNre^Gi%=Jw!" etc.


Any idea why?

That's what I've always gotten also.
Title: Re: ***NEW MISSION*** OPERATION THUNDER
Post by: bbosen on September 13, 2010, 06:08:00 AM
You have to RIGHT-CLICK on the link, using the standard Windows convention for downloading and saving a file. Your standard browser will pop up a "Save File As" dialog. As described on the referenced page, save the file within the "terrains" folder of your Aces High II installation. In most cases with older Aces High software, that means you'll be storing this file at

c:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\ahiiterr\solomonc.res

With newer versions of Aces High software, you'll be storing this file at

c:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\ahiiterr\solomonc.res

I hope this helps.

Would anyone have a link to download Aces High 2 Version 2.13.1 ??

I understand that I should install it in a different path so that I can still run the latest version I've got installed a present, that correct?

Thanks.

Best.

It'll self-install to the correct location so as to not conflict with the present version.

Jags, when saving it, change it to be saved as "all files" instead of an HTML doc.  That should rectify the issue.
