Tiger versus T34 Resurrected

feeds@yuku.com (frinik) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 05:11:51 GMT

Hello Tank Lovers,

I wanted to share the good news for all those who love tank sim.The noew defunct T v T is being resurrected ionto an entirely SP and soo-to-be MP game called Kursk.A dedicated modder has been able to mod the game through MAYA and create something spectacular more than tripling the size of the original game, adding tons of new vehicles on both sides including playable Panthers A/C/D, Tiger II, Su 122, etc.I found the link on the new Panzer sim site.You can see a...

Let's talk gunnery

feeds@yuku.com (MarkShot) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 02:06:22 GMT

Okay, I think I understand the German sights.

(1) Changing the range has no effect on the actually gun. It just moves the sight. This is not like Steel Beasts where you can manually enter a range and the gun is raised or lower automatically.

(2) The guns have multiple range scales depending on what type of round is loaded. This is somewhat analogous to the gunner indexing the round in Steel Beasts.

(3) The...

Various Questions

feeds@yuku.com (MarkShot) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 23:15:52 GMT

What exactly does the "cockpit motion scale" option do?

Are PE scenarios pseudo randomized or are they 100% scripted and the OPFOR OOB, locations, and actions be the same every execution?

In the unmodded PE, there was a range indicator for gun elevation. Now, after modding that is gone and just the clock like thing around the gun site is visible. Is there any way to get my range indicator back?

Thanks.

Vista compatibility issues

Guten tag alle,
Well, got Panzer Elite SE loaded and running on my Vista machine (32 bit) but when attempting to download the mods from the Bonus CD I can't seem to enable the .exe files to use them. Any thoughts?

Thanks and a lift of the lynch lid for all responses

PE & Windows 7

feeds@yuku.com (chollie) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:38:34 GMT

Hi

For information - while off I have been playing with Windows 7 Professional edition. This is installed as 64 bit but 32 bit programs work fine (it can also be installed as 32 bit). I have also installed the virtual pc in XP mode - more about that later. Today I installed PESE into the main Winows 7 OS, by default this installs to the Program Files [x86] folder (this is meant for 32 bit applications). It installed without problem and I was able to patch to v1.2 in the usual way....

Wingmen question

feeds@yuku.com (Tjaden) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:21:44 GMT

If I move a wingmen to a defending position that I like and let him watch to a direction...
Why does he turn to the direction as I do always, even if I make him stop/wait?
Any way to prevent this?

optics

feeds@yuku.com (henny124) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:29:32 GMT

I want to chance a campagne sometimes, so I started with the long campagne Panzer War ,Vlodava with PzKw IV early,
The optics are different with Tiger Ace,(long campagne,Leningrad), Tiger Ace works great.
In Panzer War the optic numbers are rotated,the machinegun numbers are at the top of the gunsight,so if go to 1300m with AP, the triangles goes down and where not to see anymore.
Both campagnes with the same fresh install,Enabled:panzer elite three 3.10-optics-scenario's...

Installed mods -- lost campaigns

feeds@yuku.com (usrlocal) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:21:47 GMT

Hi all,

I *FINALLY* managed to get PE3 running on my Vista rig using PE-SE from Gog.com. Took a lot of fiddling and I had to install PE-X first before I could get PE3 to work (dunno why, but it did -- otherwise PE3 would crash on me). My installed mods are:

Ostpack Complete
Ostpack 2008
PE-X
PE3
Campaigns2009
Campaigns2010

Also had to fiddle with the dates in the SSlock files to get this to work

Anyhoo -- it's all beautiful...

Just getting started with PE Special Edition

feeds@yuku.com (MarkShot) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:34:58 GMT

I purchased PE Special Edition v1.2 from www.gog.com about a week ago. I like playing CM and thought it would be nice to be in the middle of the action.

I realize there are some very popular mods to install, but at the moment I am just getting started with the basic game. I am just screwing around for the moment and learning the game.

Two things which I noticed that I wanted to ask about. First, my AI gunner seems to...

mymenu.exe problem with the campaigns

So I have Panzer Elite special edition and I downloaded and enable these mods in the same order PE3, scenarios2009 and scenarios 2010, and thats it. I have the exes in windows 98 compatibility mode. Now my problem is that whenever I try to play the campaigns that were not default, (Panzer War, Tiger Ace, etc...) the game starts to load them then closes and a window comes up saying, Sorry but mymenu.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have...

Any way to switch command between tanks?

feeds@yuku.com (fscott) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:29:08 GMT

I cannot figure out a way to command a wingman tank. In other words, actually driving any tank in your formation, taking command of the tnak, and then switching back to another tank. Is that not a feature in PE?

The problem I have is in scenarios where my tanks need to cross a river or something. They won't go across the bridges, they sit there trying to find a way across while the mission proceeds and I lose. I could simply drive each tank across the bridge if I could take...

What is the purpose of the radio option for player/non-player units? (I forget) How is it used?

Invisible Panther A in Italy.

feeds@yuku.com (fscott) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:33:20 GMT

The Panther A tank only shows the tracks but no hull or turret. The tracks move and all and it works fine, but just no tank.

I have the standard mods installed:

Ostpak
PE3
Scenarios2009
MVRPE3
BRITPackPE3
OpticsV4 beta #5

I uninstalled Optics4 and the tank is still invisible. I tried copying another tank file like PantherD and renamed it to PantherA and put it in the ItalyObj folder. The tank now showed up but the textures were all...

M4A3(w)76 optics numbers all screwed up.

feeds@yuku.com (fscott) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 01:29:05 GMT

Its the only Sherman that has the different optics for the main gun. The horizontal and vertical hashes are there in the main gun optics view, but the numbers are replaced by little graphics - pieces of textures that you'd find in one of the texture files like Sherman_8 as an example.

All other optics are fine.

I have the standard mods installed, Ostpack first, then Panzer3.

OstPak Complete will not work

feeds@yuku.com (Martel40) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 03:54:46 GMT

After spending six days downloading Ostpack complete and Ostpack 2008, the program locks on selecting a scenerio. I put the the unlock files into the Scenarios folder. I took them out of the Scenarios file. I reinstalled twice now each time using the 1.2 patch. It just won't work. The program just sits. I enabled Windows 98 compatability with all the x.exe files both times.

Truthfully, I sick of messing with this.

I know I have a pile of pieces of old...

PESE is not FreeWare or AbandonWare.

IF you download PE via a torrent, you should consider it as only a demo for all the years of work the original developers and the many modders have put into this sim. If you have any respect for these people and you liked your demo, BUY THE GAME!
