Hmmmm I experienced non of that......................... it was all click and download, no pop-ups, no drama...................... however I used to have that problem until I reinstalled windows 7............ now it's painless................. If you are having those problems I would recommend you do the same................
This is why I am very reluctant to put anything up on this website because of the incessant bitching and whining...................
If you would like to try it on your own unpack the SFS01-08 files into the root folder, you should have these files in the root folder once you are done
fb410_clay01.sfs
fb410_clay02.sfs
up_maps01.sfs
up_maps02.sfs
up_maps03.sfs
up_maps04.sfs
up_maps05.sfs
updbw_mapex_01.sfs
updbw_mapex_02.sfs
updbw_mapex_03.sfs
updbw_mapex_04.sfs
updbw_mapex_05.sfs
updbw_mapex_06.sfs
updbw_mapex_07.sfs
updbw_mapex_08.sfs
up_textures01.sfs
up_textures02.sfs
up_objects01.sfs
up_objects02.sfs
up_objects03.sfs
up_objects04.sfs
Then install ModAct 5.3 into the root folder, once done you will need to find the il2.selector icon (not the il2.exe) in the root folder and make sure it's set to Mod Act (it should be by default)save settings. Then make sure it loads and works and the screen says 4.12.2 Mod Act 5.3.........
Then follow the instructions in the CFM manual and install the CFM rar's into the root folder..........................
BACKUP SYSTEM FOR #SAS FOLDER - CFM-SAS-UPDATE.RAR
Package CFM-SAS-UPDATE.RAR is your main BACKUP SYSTEM. Installed Last; CFM-SAS-UPDATE.RAR contains the ONLY files and folders that are altered with MODS - Whether by you individually or by the CFM Team. Restoring the entire #SAS folder exactly as it is here in CFM-SAS-UPDATE.RAR will always restore your CFM to the latest stage. - For example - When a new set, like CFM11.RAR is released, then CFM-SAS-UPDATE.RAR will also be updated and should always be re-installed last.
COMPRESSED FULL MONTY-CFM
CFM-01.RAR to CFM-10.RAR
This initial install will ONLY function with all 10 CFM Downloads UnZip/UnRAR'd into your Il2/1946 Root Directory.
FINAL CHECKLIST
Il2/1946 patched to 4:12:2m and UP.SFS files (above) already in Il2 Root Directory
LINK
SAS MODACT 5.3 Installed (just the basics, options not necessary, they are provided by CFM)
LINK
CLEARANCE READ-BACK
01-Do you have the above basic requirements for a 412 modded install?
02-Is it all running normally?
When you can answer affirmative, you are ready for CFM.
INSTALLING CFM IN FOUR EASY STEPS
Inside Il2/1946 Root Directory
1) Minus out (rename) #SAS to -#SAS (right click the mouse and "rename" put the dash - in front of the #SAS)
2) Minus out (rename) jsgmemods to -jsgmemods (Same drill, make sure you enable the Hi-Rez skins in the new jsgme folder if you want to see the Harrier and Hornets, Yak-36)
3) Check SFS_AUTO folder and remove any SFS files beginning with 'THROUGH JSGME'. This completes the JSGME Cleanup for conversion installs. (You don't need to worry about this because you have not modded anything, leave SAS_AUTO alone)
4) UnZip/UnRAR CFM01.RAR through CFM10.RAR to Il2/1946 Root Directory. Install in sequence and overwrite when asked. Put in CFM-SAS-UPDATE.RAR last.
New #SAS and JSGMEMODS folders will be created and are ready to play!
SAFETY FIRST
No core files from Il2 are over-written and nothing in the structure is changed so this is prefectly safe and at anytime you may revert to your previous #SAS if you wish (you won't want to)!
Easy Peasy.......................... click il2.exe icon on your desktop and off you go...............................
Once this is up and working you can install HSFX 7.0.2 over the top of this and use the IL2.selector to turn off Mod Act and enable HSFX............. by using the Classic Mod Option. Read the SAS Mod Act Documentation folder in your Root Folder to learn all th options to the IL2.Selector gui, you can enable cache file saving and Expert mode memory usage.
