Version Confusion- WoP2 WW2 Fighters
Posted: 21 Oct 2009, 13:18
I'm a bit confused about where my boxed set versions fit in with the history of WoP aircraft. It would be helpful to have a listing of all releases, updates, solo sales, boxed sets, special editions, etc; listed in chonological order of release, and matched to the correct patches and upgrades available. This is important enough that I believe a single static page needs to be set up for customers as a permanent reference. And there must be only one sorce (page) of this information so that their is no confusion! It appears that numerous versions have been released for FS2004, FSX and CFS3, and when searching for downloads and patches I am confused about whether or not said patches are intended for the particluar models I have.
I bring this up because I have downloaded patches and paint kits and none of them are for the particular models that I have purchased. My box sets are labelled "Wings of Power II, WWII Fighters Special Edition (addon for FS2004 & FSX); and the other box set is labelled "Aircraft Powerpack, for FS2004 & FSX. I am using them in FSX only.
I downloaded a patch for the P-51, but that turned out to be for FS2004 only.
I have downloaded paint kits for both the P-51 and B-17 but the included files do not match the texture files used in the boxed set that I purchased. The good news is that what I purchased seems to be the most advanced release prior to WoP3. My texture files are higher resolution than the files in the paint kits, and I have no tail-wheel problems or other issues discussed here.
Rather than answer my questions directly, I think it would be a good idea to set up a page that keeps a running tab on past releases, patches and add-ons; and update this page as A2A continues to flood the market with the most incredible aircraft I have ever seen! (Do you like my flattery?)
