Need help with Banzai
How do you install and run Banzai? I have FB/AEP/PF merged but when I installed Banzai there's no launch icon to run it. Am I doing something wrong?

RE: Need help with Banzai
Hi
don't think you need anything to run the program, as such
once it is installed, run the normal start for the PF , then either start a new campaign and look under USN/IJN for the campaign, or go to single missions and pick which mission you want to try
LOL I pick a mission at random, and it was a base transfer mission, take off from here, fly to there and land !, oh joy
doing well in my Wake Island life, strange, had trouble with the Vals, but toar up the Betties, most fun was the 2 plane patrol, to chase down two Mavis flying boats

RE: Need help with Banzai
only 2 foes in the air in the first mission, a raid on Guam, lots of targets on the ground though, seen DC-3s (C-47s) P-40s and P-39s
hmm hint, a P-39 (or in this case P-400s shouldnt try and loop a Zero, even if he still has a bomb attached)

RE: Need help with Banzai
ahhh, just love this trick with the AI, just climb and fly a circle, over and over again, no matter what plane, of course, the trick is to turn your back on them, and they will turn to engage as soon as you start you break, a Split S with a following turn or a loop with a half roll at the top works wonders

RE: Need help with Banzai

RE: Need help with Banzai
Help, I'm having the same trouble as Faust. I have the complete merged install FB+AEP+PF and all patched up through 3.04m. I have no launch button. And no, there is no campaign in any country file, and no missions in the singles files. I tried installing it to the default folder, and direct into IL2Forgetten Battles. The files are in the program folder, but nothing in game. Really, any suggestions will be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: Need help with Banzai
hmmm this is strange
did you look under the mission folder, then the country ?
IE US
I show a folder with a Banzai name on it
did you run the patches from the game ?
check to see if you have the 303M and the 304M patches on your puter and rerun them if you did
(the patches that come with the game are 303 and 304)
if that dont help keep asking

RE: Need help with Banzai
2nd idea, can you start IL-2 normally ?
if you can, then the missions should be in the normal campaign/mission set up
if you can't start up IL-2, I think you may of run the patches that came with the game, those are just for PF standalone
let me know one way or another

Same problem here, FB/AEP/PF 3.04m installed. No way to find/start BANZAI campaign in game even I can find the folder:
D:\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\Missions\Campaign\JA\BANZAI_JA
D:\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\Missions\Campaign\JA\BANZAI_JA

RE: Need help with Banzai
okay I am confused here
so lets go step by step and make sure we on the same page (sorry if it sounds dumb)
1 (of course) start IL-2
2 get/make pilot
3 go to full missions
4 click side till IJA comes up
5 there should be a list labeled BANZAI-JA
the same should be there under USN
for a campaign
1 start/get a pilot, click on campaign
2 click on new
got to either IJA or USN
you should see a label, USNAF vs IJA
for the US you will also see BANZAI-SBD3
still think the install auto runs the patches that come with the game, and these are not the Merge patches, and I think that may be knocking something out of wack, try reinstalling 303m and 304m
over all, I am a little disappointed in BANZAI, it is no where close to TLDs, and while there may be some grammer mistakes in TLDs, they are easy to overlook, but ZERO campaigns being listed under the IJA ?, and no where have I ever seen the NAVY reported as the USNAF
let me know if this is what you are seeing in your game, hopefully we can figure it out

RE: Need help with Banzai
Does not work.
When I create new career and choose IJA only "Imperial Japanese Army Fighter" is on the list.
I also tried to copy this BANZAI_JA folder to upper level at
D:\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\Missions\Campaign\
But no luck.
Fortunately MP COOPs are in right place and working.

RE: Need help with Banzai
hmmm again
okay I got
IL-2/Missions/Campaign/JA/BANZAI_JA
and
IL-2/Missions/Campaign/UN/BANZAI_USN and BANZAI_USN_Bomber
not to beat a dead horse, but did you try reinstalling the 2 patches 303m and 304m
I think the game auto installs the patches that come with the game and they are 303 and 304
I had to reinstall the merdge patches to get the game to work

RE: Need help with Banzai
Hey Hard Sarge, thanks for helping out! Nope, nothing anywhere. I download (and build) a lot of missions, and have alot of campaigns loaded, but nada on Banzai. I suspect you are correct on the patches. The thing is, the game works fine so I don't think the add-on auto loaded the nonmerge patches. I get a pop up during install that asks me to install 3.03 and 3.04, and it says it won't run without them, but I declined to do so because I'm afraid it will muck up my install because of the 3.03m and 3.04m. So, I was hoping someone who has the merged install and is patched through to 3.04m, could tell me if it was OK to go ahead and install the nonmerge patches anyway. If all that does is allow Banzai to load into the game, great. If it completely hoses my current set up, no way. And I'm afraid to try it just in case it all goes blooey!
Thanks again for any insights.

RE: Need help with Banzai
Your welcome, just wish any of my ideas would of been of help
if you have enough room, copy your IL-2 folder (if you got a lot in it, like Aces and stuff, it will take a while)
then try it with the copy, that way if it dont work, you still got the good one to fall back on
for me, it killed my copy, and I had to reinstall the whole thing (I was then able to copy over my pilots, so I didn't really lose anything but time)
yes, I had seen something where it asked if I wanted to install the patches, and I said no, but I also, seen during the install, the patches being loaded
funny, we not heard from any one from Banzai or Matrix on this, maybe it needs to be posted in the bug section

RE: Need help with Banzai
Hey Sarge, thanks for trying ! I did post it in the bug section, but I forgot to mention which add on, so, nothing so far. I started to make a back up yesterday, but needed the PC and it was taking forever. I have thousands of skins and several hundred missions, plus alot of tied-in utilities, etc. But I will try to copy it this weekend and try it with that and see what happens.
Later, m8.

RE: Need help with Banzai
This is sounding like the install just got crumped. Its been a week or so since I first read your posts . . so I dont recall . . but have you tried re-installing Banzai? It certainly wont hurt anything. And if you want to cautions AND sure . . extract Banzai to a temporary location (just install it to a place other than where your game exists). Then you can manually copy the folders/files to your games location.
NOTE : If you do not want to get stuck with background graphics from these addon packs this is what you need to do (course Banzai was the first Id seen that gave us a choice). You can then look in the folders at the TGA's and pick-N-choose which ones you want Same with the music.
