Installing HSFX7 on IL-2 1946 is driving me crazy...


Recommended Posts

ii.

Install over a new clean copy of IL-2 1946 updated to 4.12.

a.

Make sure that you have all 3 parts of the hsfx 7.0 installer (10 files) in the same place on

your computer.

b. Point the installer at your il2 root folder and run the installer

c. Open jsgme.exe and enable HSFX history mod

d. Run game

 

despite following these simple steps, it doesn't seem to work. Starting up campaigns and single missions causes the game to crash, doing quick battle crashes the game within minutes. And all the google searches are coming up with contridicting and confusing instructions.

 

How do you install this mod and run it? (Mind its the steam version)

 

I've also been trying to update it to 7.0.3 using the auto-updater, but it's not working and I can't figure out why.

 

Thanks.

Im sure a better place to look will be on their forums not here

There is a "Other 1C Games" section here. I don't use mods on 1946 (partially because of the clumsiness, tried it once) so I cant help you.

I suggest you go to the 242 Squadron's website. I am not on my PC and have limited connectivity but if you Google it you should find it. HSFX is pretty nice actually.. I have three versions of IL2 on my HD with each being backed up.. HSFX, SAS w Mod Act 5.3 I think it is and of course a stock version..

 

242 is the team that make HSFX so they should be able to help you with any issues.

I managed HSFX-instalation with "SturmoWiki", search for IL2 Sturmovik 1946 Mods. There it is explaned, how you install it for an older version, but it is quite the same with the actual version.

And it seems to be very important, not to install IL2 with the normal path in the "programs"-folder, because this one is protected by windows, so modding does not work, you can take for example the "games" folder.

I'm having problems installing it with the Steam version (which surprised me a little noticing it already had mods installed.)

Man, I just want to put a bullet through my skull... every post so far as regarding installing hsfx 7 is all the way back to 2013 and none of the posts describe the problem I'm having and none of the install guides mentions how to get hsfx going on steam versions of the game. Using the autoupdater fails with a window saying "Could not install, check internet connection" which means the server the autoupdater goes to is gone? Tried joining the 242 forums to post and still waiting for the mod to approve my account. wasted dozens of hours on my life for something that's probrably not going to work anyways. god...

that is the most recent comment that I can find and as you can see, not much of a solution is present...

Have you followed BearCats suggestion?

Does not steam update the game into latest patch = 4.13? Is HSFX compatible with 4.13? Readme OP posted does not say so,it has 4.12 there.So there might be the rootcause of the problem.

I had hsfx 7.0 installed before the latest update from il2 1946...I installed it as the directions said to for 7.0 I see in my folder there is an HSFX_Client_Updater.exe. I used that to update hsfx to the newest version and after il21946 updated.

Hi , i have just installed this and this is what i did .

 

Copy Il2 1946 folder from steamapps .

Make a new folder on C\ drive or whatever drive you want to use .

Paste to new folder

Launch HSFX mod and point to new folder of Il1946

Download 7.03 update from here http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?board=191.0 Auto updater no longer works

7 zip 7.03 to new Il1946 folder

Use jsgme in new Il1946 folder and enable the mods

Make new shortcut on desktop from modded il2 1946 folder

Thats it , you know if it worked because you will get HSFX 7.03 show up in the load screen

 

Hope this helps.

 

Edit - just noticed how old this thread is but it may help someone in the future .

242 Squadron forums will not be online much longer. They are transitioning to FaceBook.

Yes, we have decided to shut down the 242 Web site and move to Facebook as a "Facebook Group". Were paying for the web site and as far as we can tell, we get the same functionality from Facebook and it's free.

 

I will post the exact date the Web Site will be shut down and the "Facebook Group" name as soon as I know. But it will happen very soon. :)

Prof had said initially that they were going offline on Friday the 25th of March so their forums could disappear at any time now.

The Facebook group is a closed one just so we can chat to each other. 242 hasn't flown as a squad for a long while now, and unless Charlie suddenly has a complete re-engaging with Il-2 46 then I think that HSFX is now as far along as it's going to get.

Cheers.

Thank your team for all your hard work from the DangerDogz. It would have been nice to have  HSFX 8 though.

Yes, HSFX team stopped.

I poured pogotovleny to work NSFX 7.0.3 here  


 

Setting:

 

1. Download, select the mouse all the patches and unpack into the same folder.

 

2. Set up joystick control, enter the callsign and your screen resolution. Or just copy the folder to the root folder "User" and the file "Conf.ini" with its own settings from other versions of Elah.

 

3. All. We enjoy the flight.

 

4. The archive folders are added 2 - "Setting Config Elah" - "the F" and "protractor" for the bombing.

 

5. The current version Graphics, Sound Effects and set to the maximum.
