househobbit Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The long awaited update for CFS3 Expansion ETO has been released in time for Christmas ETO 1.50 Free at:http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/category/10-eto-pto-sim-outhouse/ The hard work of Rob (Capt. Winters) Stevenson in putting all this together: ETO 1.50 aircraft update package 2014. Below are the details of which plane sets have been updated fixing various issues, and standardising pilot views. And standardising aircraft display names in game. Contributor List at end of List. There have also been several extra aircraft added. See below for details. Shared textures Replaced duplicate textures that had inconsistent images with the correct image for each texture. Example damage_RAF.dds is found in several locations in game but they had different images painted in causing random changes in game and misaligned textures on aircraft when damaged. AI aircraft set a selection of AI aircraft to type 1 which allows them to be selected as enemy targets when flying quick combat missions. These planes are not meant to be piloted by the player. They have ~ at the start of their name in the aircraft lists, which places them at the end of the line in each country designation. They also have a message “AI only not be flown, select as target only†included in the description in game. Bf109 aircraft (19 planes modified in total) In some of the 109E aircraft there was a mix up with VC model files, this meant that you would see armor plate behind the pilots head when flying from the VC but the outside view would show the model without pilot armor. I went through and placed the correct VC model into each of the 109-E aircraft in game some of the E-1 aircraft where using skins that were meant for E-3 aircraft which meant you had the bulges for cannon painted in under the wing on the E-1 but no actual bulges modelled into the wing. Standardised VC views (all work with TrakIR) 1. normal view (close to windscreen) 2. instrument view 3. wide view. Changed short names to “type – unit- date†format. This means that all the 109 types display in alphabetical order, starting with the E types and going through to the K model. Added in historical description for each plane. Changed entry and exit dates to match the time frame of the unit depicted by the paint scheme. Added in two extra aircraft: Hptn. Werner 'Vati' Molders and Oblt. Werner Lederer. Both for the May-June period 1940. (textures by John Whelan) Spitfire (16 planes modified in total) Changed short names to “type – unit- date†format Added in historical description for each plane.

jgf Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I hate to create a Lazarus thread, but does anyone know of a currently active, free, download for this mod? The aussiex site times out without connecting and the only other links I've found (in sim-outhouse forum, where I've never been able to register) are to mediafire, where any attempts at downloading merely get me a popup to "upgrade to Pro".

HornetAircraft Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Could you send me the link to the mediators download or the sim-outhouse link and I can see if I can download it. If it does I can send them to you. I Could not find a download for the sim either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Could not find a download for the sim either Sadly I didn't bookmark that forum page, and a recent search doesn't find it; though there are several threads for this mod there. Every mention I find points to either the aussiex site or mrjmaint (which itself links to aussiex). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
