Texture of Churchillmodells missing in middle far distance, for example on "Liberation of caen" But I mean on every other map where churchill is too.
Awesome job RADIO many thx!!!
btw did anyone this thread sticky?! Gameserver admin on our FHSW Europ server
I recently reinstalled s&t, real guns, and the ragdoll effects , but my game keeps crashing, im not sure where it is coming from. I think it must be either from real guns or S&T because i tried removing the animation rfa for ragdoll effect and it still crashes. When i installed the s&t pack i left everything as is(i remember some time ago there were instructions to delete certain rfas, for sandstorm and arctic convoy), would deleting the rfas resolve this or do you guys think its something else?

Have you tried to load maps in FH or BF1942? Maybe it is FHSW only problem and you need to reinstall it.

I think your directx API might have crashed (i had that issue once), a restart of your computer should resolve the issue. Either that or you have some files incorrectly installed
Btw, I recommend you to install Adblock Plus or similar extension to your browser, if you haven't done it yet, because it removes such malicious crap and annoying ads, like pop-up banners.
Added (2014-01-12, 5:18 PM) --------------------------------------------- Also, Mayer, could you please add ragdolls to main post?

The modell of the Flak 88 appears in far distance as a wreak, don´t know if that anything has to do with sound and texturepack? Gameserver admin on our FHSW Europ server

You're right, I never noticed that. I checked it and it's actually a bug from FH, maybe I'll fix it later if it's even possible. My Youtube Channel aka eYe.ris
Thanks, thankfully it was just a minor bug, hopfully I didn't add another one while I fixed it
Did you just add the sounds folder in objects/stationary_weapons/MG15_air? Any other changes? (i couldn't find them) Also the same problem was reported with the MG17
btw. i already fixed the problem with stug_g_late textures on operation blackknight and liberation of caen: Download
Before on Blackknight
After fix
Before on Caen
After fix
just put the content into your Mods/STFHSW folder
However i do want that we merge all these fixes into a final ST0.51 fix, which will resolve all problems for users who downloaded the above S&T pack
