lsdjr18 -> Missing Aircraft Art Please Help :) (12/12/2016 6:26:56 AM)
I have just installed WITP AE on my new gaming rig with Windows 10 and the aircraft art is MISSING :( can anyone help me out? I could play without it but I really love to see those planes from the top down view! I tried reinstalling, patching, using original game without patching and have failed... my game has no mods... Any help would be appreciated... Best! LSDJr18

Once I find aircraft mods how do I install them? I am not very techy just into these types of games. Will it allow me to see the dogfights in the game again as before? Best and Thanks LSDJR18

Any help would be appreciated... Best! LSDJr18 Are you missing aircraft bitmaps on your HDD in game ART folder or the game just does not display them ? In case of second issue I mention, you need add switch -dd_sw to yours command line when you starting the game.

Same thing happening to me. I can get plane art back using the dd_sw switch, but that causes my desktop to draw over the game map as I move the mouse. There is a thread further along that states newer cards do not support direct draw as much & what's happening is my game screen is not refreshing as it should be. Sounds like there is no solution.[&:] quote: ORIGINAL: lsdjr18 I have just installed WITP AE on my new gaming rig with Windows 10 and the aircraft art is MISSING :( can anyone help me out?

quote: -dd_sw What does this parameter do? I had the same problem and adding -dd_sw solved it.

KevinMcGuire -> RE: Missing Aircraft Art Please Help :) (1/20/2017 9:24:04 PM)
The -dd_sw switch works but causes another problem. The game screen tears showing my desktop whenever i move the mouse around. I can click the mouse & the game screen returns till I move the mouse again. It's like the game screen image is not refreshing correctly. quote: ORIGINAL: 821Bobo quote: -dd_sw What does this parameter do? I had the same problem and adding -dd_sw solved it.

If you are using Win 10, try setting it for Compatibility Mode with Win 7 or XP. I don't have Win 10 so I don't know where to find that - but I would start in the Control Panel.

I have tried all compatability modes ie: win7, xp service pack 1,2 & 3, ect. I currently have singlecpu orders. I have tried it without also. "Retreat, hell!

Also, have you looked in the art folder to see if the air art is even there?....GP

KevinMcGuire -> RE: Missing Aircraft Art Please Help :) (1/20/2017 10:43:04 PM)
here is the line: "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -deepColor -archive -fd -SingleCpuOrders. The plane art is definitely there. I did a vanilla install when I upgraded to win 10. installed another copy & checked art file. Whats funny is I get images of asw combat, combat screen for air to air no planes & ship to ship combat screen no ships. I have an intel I-5 4690k cpu 16 gb ram & a radeon r7 200 series video card 2gb vram if this helps. I have done a dxdiag test & all is good, have the latest radeon drivers. nothing has worked. quote: ORIGINAL: General Patton quote: ORIGINAL: TheKidd_17 I have tried all compatability modes ie: win7, xp service pack 1,2 & 3, ect.

Maybe it's a refresh rate thing. I'm out of Ideas. Did you try to load the extended map by any chance?....GP

KevinMcGuire -> RE: Missing Aircraft Art Please Help :) (1/21/2017 1:31:51 AM)
If you mean the px & py switches, yes I have. I am out of ideas also. I do appreciate you & all the others trying to help me solve this though. quote: ORIGINAL: General Patton Maybe it's a refresh rate thing. I'm out of Ideas. Did you try to load the extended map by any chance?....GP

Lots of switches, I found I needed them all. "D:\War in the Pacfic Admirals Edition\PBEM AdmNelson\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w -px2520 -py1525 -archive -multiaudio -skipVideo -dd_sw -cpu4 -deepColor -SingleCpuOrders
