Looking to Install the Jet War 1956 mod

[AG-51_Razor]

Hey Hoss,

If I use a clean version of the game, 4.12.2 I believe, do I just unpack this mod into the root directory of IL-2 1946 like we would do for installing HSFX?? Is it that simple?

[AG-51_Hoss]

Give me a week and I will have a new install for you................... Compressed Full Monty..................... it's huge and only takes 7 minutes to install the whole thing because it's all sfs files.............. it has everything in in it.... even the F/A-18 for IL2.... Harrier, and angle decked carriers..................  so be patient, I'll package up a download and it will be available for everyone, we can get on TS and I'll talk everyone through it.  You need to download ModAct 5.3 because it goes in before the CFM.  Once you have it we can test it and see how it operates as a multiplayer platform.


ModAct 5.3
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,37662.0.html

This is what I got from Simon (Monty) on Sunday, at the least download the manual and read it and see what's all in it. 

Hi Mike

Here are the links - 10 Packs + 1 Update that goes in last.

Lets play with this for a week and release it next weekend if all goes well.  We should use the next week to let a few selected people, who know what they are doing, look at it first and test the install method.

The manual is worth looking at, especially the last few pages.

There is more to do, but this system makes it easy and it really does install in 10 Minutes!

FINAL CHECKLIST
Il2/1946 patched to 4:12:2m and UP.SFS files (above) already in Il2 Root Directory

SAS MODACT 5.3 Installed (just the basics, options not necessary, they are provided by CFM)

This is the CFM I'm using right now, it's still being fine tuned for release real soon, there is also other up.sfs files (see below) that go in the root folder that I will package up and make available for download

INSTALLING CFM IN FOUR EASY STEPS
Inside Il2/1946 Root Directory
1) Minus out (rename) #SAS to -#SAS
2) Minus out (rename) jsgmemods to -jsgmemods
3) Check your SFS_AUTO folder and remove any SFS files beginning with 'THROUGH JSGME'.  This completes the JSGME Cleanup for new and conversion installs.
4) UnZIP/UnRAR CFM01.RAR through CFM10.RAR and CFM-SAS-UPDATE.RAR to your Il2/1946 Root Directory.  Install in sequence and overwrite when asked.

New #SAS and JSGMEMODS folders will be created and are ready to play!

Screaming Eagles is definitely next! (VF-51 Panther campaign we have been working on forever)

Once it's installed and working there a a bunch of extra jsgme options you can enable, the Hi-Rez skins is required to see the Yak-36, Harriers, and Hornets, plus A-4 skyhawks, A7 Corsair II's, Phantoms...... oh and F9F- Cougars, FJ3 Fury's... Angle decked carriers....

cool!

Looking forward to it...I have a clean 4.12.2 install ready to go, and have the modact 5.3 downloaded

[AG-51_Hoss]

the Hornets and AV-8B have quasi working HUD's.............. 

[AG-51_Sabot]

the Hornets and AV-8B have quasi working HUD's..............

Can you translate that into "Minioneese"

[AG-51_Razor]

Very cool! Standing by with a clean install of 4.12.2 and a fresh download of Modact 5.3. Take your time, no hurry.

[AG-51_Cobraj]

I love you brother Hoss. Good luck on this. If guys want to install this with a fresh copy of 4.12.2 that's fine. It will not incorporate with HSFX, it is not that easy. We had inherent problems with the last compiled version because of overwriting and incompatible files with previous HSFX files. These issues will still be there plus others related to overwrites in new mods incorporated into it.

Backup your backups if you are going to play around with this. The squad as a whole will not be using it unless it is tried and tested. I suggest a separate install and we keep Version 2 like we have now.

[AG-51_Razor]

I have no interest in HSFX where this is concerned. I just wanted to have the Jet War installed for my personal offline use. If others have it as well, I would be happy to generate some missions on it. One question though, does this have all of the stock planes flyable in it that are in 4.12.2? If the Late model Corsairs could be included that would be a huge bonus for Korea!

[AG-51_Hoss]

Those links I sent you have the manual as the first download. It tells you everything that's in it...... And it's a behemoth, far bigger than you can imagine.  It's ten times bigger than my biggest mod...... Maybe twenty............. 


Hoss

[AG-51_Razor]

HOLY CRAP!!!    I think I'm gobsmaked!! So, are we still waiting for you Hoss or do we start downloading all that stuff up above?

[AG-51_Hoss]

I'm still uploading the SFS01 - SFS08 files.....(about 5.08GB)....... you can down load the CFM files if you want, it's not the final version but it will do for your purposes though....................

The time it takes you to download one of the big files is less time that it takes to install the whole thing....................

Hoss

[AG-51_Cobraj]

Holy crud Batman!

[AG-51_Razor]

Thanks Hoss!

[AG-51_Hoss]

Once I put up the SFS files up on Mediafire, you can tell me when you guys want to get together so I can talk you through the set up, it's real easy, but you need to do it in order. 

Once you unpack everything and get it ready it will take prolly 10 to 15 minutes to install the whole thing.  Doing it un-compacted would take you at least a day if not a couple of days to do it via jsgme with the old TFM (the full Monty)

Standing by. Just to be clear, are you expecting us to be standing by with a clean install of 4.12.2, or should we have installed something already?
