The Sr1 Sandbox I have is NOT the SR10 ... Good God where did I find this SR1 of course the rig can't handle it, of course I couldn't tell the difference with and without LOL it was the wrong mod (ok, solved!).

The abbreviations on the OOBs I am talking about are as follows:
ECF
SCF
DRF
DRF_RB (I can't even read my penmanship? Damn it, I think it's either an R or a B sorry)
DRF_SR1 (this is the mod I mistakenly thought it was the SR10. There's only an excel file within though)

The only thing I really understood is that the DRF abbreviation means the Damn Red Flags will be displayed.
As a side question, I suppose these OOBs are not historical. Is there an "historical OOB" mod?

From the Bugles and Flags Website:

Damned Red Flags - DRF

DRF is coined from the main reference I used: Richard Rollins, The Damned Red Flags of the Rebellion. Represented historically, most of these 63 CSA flags flew over the 'Ground' of Gettysburg, July, 1863. State flags remained rolled, used here for state personality and gameplay, for Lee gave orders that all battle units would only carry the Southern Cross. New flags were issued in the months before, but many units chose their own unique Southern Cross versions to carry into battle, their flags being an important part of their spirit and pride. Some units carried their local flags along side the southern cross, several Stars and Bars were flown.

...so, primarily historical, and I did quite a bit of research, and, not just from Rollins' book. As far as the new Cavalry Flags are concerned, more liberties were taken in using older flags, primarily to distinguish units apart. Records indicate that most cavalry units were issued new 3rd bunting versions of the southern cross just prior to Gettysburg.

Still can't find out which unit used the 'Liberty or Death' flag...but it was flown, and captured during the retreat from Pennsylvania. Presently it's assigned to the 13th Virginia.

Reb can you clear my question? What do those abbreviations mean in the OOB list?
I get from your answer about my second question that the DRF OOBs are historical, right?

ECF - East Cavalry Field
SCF - South Cavalry Field
DRF_RB - You'd have to ask Reb
DRF_SR1 - SR1 is 1 sprite = 1 man. There's a new stock scenario that is SR1. (Brinkerhoff Ridge)

All OOBs are historic unless indicated in the description. I know there are some that are what if.

LP,

Quick question, since I installed the 1.2 patch, when I try to run one of your scenarios I get a crash at the "Loading GFX wheel" as indicated during game load.

Thoughts?

I didn't understand the mod Musket Smoke FPS boost. Does it increase FPS by making less smoke or does it add more smoke (adding more load on the rig) and hence reduce FPS?
