Hello there. Thank you for the fantastic new Models from the the TIE Avenger und Defender.
But they cockpit views are unplayable. There is no cockpit for the Avenger and you can´t see the CMD in the Defender. I think it is related to the view angel. Please fix this.
Thank you very much in advanced and keep up the good work.

I use the GOG Version and the the TIE FIGHTER Total Conversion 1.1. mod.

TFTC and update 5 are not fully compatible... there are bound to be bugs, as the current version of TFTC was made before update 5 came out.

If you encounter problems, then either using update 4 for now, or wait for TFTC 1.2 to release.

What @Calmputer says is totally correct.
The TFTC and XWAU are separate mods and as such need changes to each to be supported.
We wanted to make TFTC v1.2 and XWAU u5 release close together but life doesn't work that way always. And one had to be complete for the other.
TFTC v1.2 is under testing and will be out very soon I believe.

BUT there is a fix you can do for now.
Open the INI file for the Avenger etc in thr Flightmodels folder.
You will see this code.

Code: Select all

[;CockpitPov]
CockpitPovX = 0
CockpitPovY = 32
CockpitPovZ = 2
Remove the ; from [;CockpitPov]. The save.
Then the cockpit will work again. Do the same in the Defender.
Otherwise just press . then D on the keyboard and wait for v1.2 to be released. Hope that helps

Thank you for your proposal.
But forthe moment, I have another problem. I reinstalled the game but it is not possible to install TIE Fighter TC over the new megapack 5 update. Version 4 is needed but I did not have this update anymore. The download link here is not available anymore. Please, is it possible to make the old version 4 again available for download?

Version 4 is merged with Version 5.
Version 4 is no longer needed. Just install Update 5.

Thank for the quick reply.
But I think you missunderstanded me. The intaller from TFTC (the update 1.1.) needs the version 4 and stopped with an error log on the new update 5. So it would be nice to make version 4 available again for all player, who need it to install TFTC and the Update 1.1.

I added the links for the earlier versions to the download page so you can redownload v4.0

v1.2 of TFTC will be released next week and will include XWAU Update 5. This should resolve any compatibility issues.
