Need help with RHS install

[blueflame]

In the manual it says I need:

A) RHS Plane Tops and Sides ZIP
B) RHS AlliedShip _Back full set.zip
C) RHS AlliedShip_transp full.zip set
D) RHS JapShip_Back full set full set.zip
E) RHS JapShipShills_transp full set.zip

I can't find these filenames on the rhs.akdreemer.com site. So, instead, I have downloaded some other, similar files that I found there (RHS plane T-S v7.00.zip, RHS Japanese Std Art CVO v100.zip, RHS vx.751 Japanese standard air panels 07-07.zip, and others) and have unzipped them into the ART\ directory. I've also installed the latest CVO scenario. This *appears* to work, and the scenario loads. So far so good...

When I load up RHS, though, what I find is that the Japanese economy is set to produce, among other things, 53 F1M2 Pete float planes! (see attached file)

Is this supposed to happen? What am I doing wrong here?

[el cid again]

Well - the Pete was in full production at this time - although 53 sounds like a lot to me. It never bothers me because I never let it happen - I like the Pete but prefer not to have any more than already exist. If you turn off production, you can turn it on if you run out. But - yes - a lot of Petes were built - and they were used for many things IRL we cannot in the game. Technically an observation plane, it is like its WWI antecedents, and became the foundation for a fighter and a bomber - on floats! We cannot use it as a dive bomber - but it could do that!

Cobra, Mifune, WITPQs or I can send you the plane art. I think it probably is on the site - but I do not maintain that and I don't know. There is probably a link in Cobra's RHS download thread.

You must pick EITHER standard OR EOS(and AIO now) plane art. The Allies use the same art files - but the Japanese have so few slots it won't be right if you don't get the right one. So you need to install one or the other - depending on what you plan to play. There are neat things in both sets. The standard art package works for both CVO and BBO families of scenarios - does not matter - you can switch scenario and not change the plane art. Ship art is like that for all scenarios - you can go between EOS and non EOS family scenarios without changing ship art. Not all art is used in any single scenario - but all you need is always there. Problem: I cannot find a complete set of ship art at this time that has no problems. What I get from the site has some ship tops instead of ship sides! But otherwise - it works. And both Mifune and WITPQs are supposed to release updated ship art with a lot of stuff folded into it. WITPQs is doing the art to the standard rules - a common art standard for Matrix, CHS and RHS.
