Trooper117 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Just bumping CFM up... I'm more excited about this release than anything else at the moment!
Trooper117 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Still working on it. I also believe it will be compatible with the 4.13 update when it goes live
ST_ami7b5 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 OK, thx, looking forward to it then. Now I fire HSFX 7.2 from time to time.
Bearcat Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 IL2 is the biggest entertainment bang for the buck I have ever had. Ever.
Bearcat Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 So ... in a nutshell what is CFM and why should I be interested? CFM is the Compressed Full Monty .. which is the Compressed version of The Full Monty. The difference is that CFM has more stuff.. and the SFS files are compressed and much easier to work with, load faster etc etc.. Think of it like back in the day when mods first came out... before the HSFX boys over at 242 ... back when there was no standard and you had to install everything by hand and your mod install could get so bloated that each time it loaded up it could take as long as like... 90 seconds... Then Charlie Chaplin & crew at 242 released HSFX which had the mod files compressed and it changed everything. HSFX 7 is a direct descendant of that and if I am not mistaken originally HSFX was just used by the 242 guys... 2
Trooper117 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Lol, you beat me to it BC... I'm currently using HSFX. Looks like I'll be making yet another copy of IL2 on my HD... I really can't wait for this to arrive Edited January 30, 2015 by Trooper117
ST_ami7b5 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Does anybody know what the differences will be compared to HSFX 7? I have HSFX 7.2 installed and also a steam version which is now 4.12.2m. I also have a virgin copy of 1946 on DVD which I have bought years ago. I hope I will be able to upgrade that steam 4.12.2m version to CFM... Edited January 30, 2015 by ST_ami7b5 1
Forager Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The differences between the two: CFM is optimized for offline play and HSFX for online. I have never used HSFX and am not familiar with its content, there may be some differences. CFM was slated for release last weekend but Monty decided it was not ready and said this today on the SAS forum: " This included the prototype CFM, which died on the operating table last week, and will include the actual successor; which is bigger, better, hairier and more badass than anything ever, thanks largely to Wingflyr and all the other great 3D artists like him. " The quote above is from a topic on new stock tank and vehicle upgrades wherein some new FMB content is showcased. I believe the rollout was delayed because the guys involved ( http://www.hangar19.net/ ) are further optimizing it. ( Hangar 19 is TFM centric now but this is the home of the CFM crew.) 1
dburne Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I have virgin install ready and waiting, so looking forward to CFM!
wellenbrecher Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 A compressed Full Monty? Well if that doesn't sound good I don't know what does. Installing TFM is always such an utter chore that I just absolutely will have to try this.
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Not so much a 1946 addict but this sounds interesting.
WWChunk Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 IL2 is the biggest entertainment bang for the buck I have ever had. Ever. This. I highly doubt that I'll ever have another piece of software that will even come close. I'm happy to have been around for the glory days of IL-2. 1
Forager Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 It gets better, I posted this on SimHQ last night. The Saga continues....Posted today by UberDemon at SAS:harpia, et allMonty is working in an enhanced CFM. So as far as what the original plan was last week, no it will not be that CFM, it will be something much better. He is actively working with his team as we speak, and I continue to support this project, albeit in a very small role. So no: CFM is NOT cancelled... it is just that the original plan of making CFM an easier-to-install TFM with some additional content, has grown to something much better, and much more stable. Patience and soon Monty will make the official statement of what the features are for this new pack. And believe me it will blow your mind. But wait, I already said too much. (Why am I posting here? Because Monty asked me to do a little Public Relations to assure the masses the work is really ongoing, and it is. Let us wait patiently and as he allows me to release additional info, I will.)UberDemon/danzigzagwww.uberdemon.netA key sentence:"Patience and soon Monty will make the official statement of what the features are for this new pack. And believe me it will blow your mind." (me) I hope you all are not running out of patience with me, I have been cheerleading this for what seems like much longer than 1 month as being almost here....sorry, I guess it will be here when it is.

I have virgin install ready and waiting, so looking forward to CFM! My suggestion? Set up your sticks then get all your skins etc in order.. missions.. all that. Then copy that install twice. Name one copy HSFX ... name the other SAS. Then... on one copy .. install HSFX 7.03. On the other copy install the CFM. Keep that stock copy separate as a back up. If you have the HD space copy both of the other installs as backups as well.. When TD releases 4.13 patch your stock 4.12.2 install with it and save it. Upgrade HSFX and SAS accordingly.
SOLIDKREATE Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Oh yes indeed gents it's coming and I CANNOT WAIT!!!!
Trooper117 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 I have three versions of IL2 on my HD. I have a stock IL2 version 4.12.2... a HSFX 7.03 version, plus a 4.12.2 version named CFM, just waiting for the release.
Bearcat Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Me too. Actually it's 2 working versions and 3 back ups... HSFX & SAS on a SSD .. with backups for both and a stock backup. The backups are on a different 2TB drive.

The backups are on a different 2TB drive. My installs are on a SSD as well, good idea, I have plenty of hard drive space I can copy backups too.
Bf-110 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Very interesting! Seems to have a lot of stuff,perhaps,more than HSFX.BTW,this mod must be installed over a clean IL2 4.12,can't be installed over HSFX,right?

Forager Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 CFM has been superseded. See here: http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,44975.0/topicseen.html
sallee Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Gump.................................................
wellenbrecher Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 There we go. Got something to do tomorrow after all!
102nd-YU-VUK Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Just to let you know HSFX is made for SEOW purposes, but it was adopted from others too.
Lusekofte Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yes, was a member in the SAS team while it was developed, I can recommend this with all my hart. I read it was a problem with the torrent version of it. So I am going to wait until that is fixed. Take too long time to dl
SOLIDKREATE Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Is v4.13 out now. I haven't seen any news? I would look at 1c forums but my work PC wont let me visit the address.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Slight tangent, what should I install if I want only one copy on my HD and pretty much only play online? I have a steam account but havent touched it in three years. Is there still a Hyperlobby?
DD_Crash Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I would make a backup or 2 of 4.12.2 then instal HSFX 7. I think Hyperlobby is still going but I just fly with my squad.
WWChunk Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 HyperLobby is still around, and my squad still uses it. We use HSFX 7 as a squad standard.

I have a steam account but havent touched it in three years. Is there still a Hyperlobby? If you only want one copy I would have to say go with HSFX.. The install is almost flawless and it has a lot of content. For me two installs is the way to go. Not counting back ups. I would make a backup or 2 of 4.12.2 then instal HSFX 7. I think Hyperlobby is still going but I just fly with my squad. This...
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Just HSFX or do I have to install 4.08-4.12.2 first? Does HSFX include all those other patches? That used to be a huge PITA. Most of the reason I didn't install it on the last computer or this one.
DD_Crash Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 You need to be at 4.12.2 before applying HSFX there is a mega patch to 4.12.2 here http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,38443.0.html
