DigitalEngine Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Make sure it's patched up to version 4.12.2 Heres a place where patches are listed in order http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&c=605 Then mod it with HFSX 7.2, here's the site for it, http://www.242sqn.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=30 It will take a little time, but really worth it!! Take your time, pay attention to detail and do it correct. You shoud be really pleased!! Take the time to read the readme's (there are several). You'll find IL-2 4.12.2 + HFSX 7.2 to be a most comprehesive and interactive digital encyclopidia of World War 2 aviation history. Edited August 19, 2014 by BlueMatrix

M4Today is your home base about all those mods, missions etc, there are tons of them. Most of the serious servers run with the mods listed above plus their mini custom patches that you can get from their websites, you also need a little program called "hyperlobby" to find them btw, you can find the server websites and their patches from there.

FlatSpinMan Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 There are some great campaigns available there too. I hear there was this good one about Afrika...
VikingFjord Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 Thank you very much for the tips!but isn't the steam version of the game automatic update to 4.12.2?
Silverback Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Thank you very much for the tips! but isn't the steam version of the game automatic update to 4.12.2? I would say no, it's probably 407 or right out of the box. You can tell by watching you game start in lower right hand corner of your monitor.
Emgy Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) If you let it auto update on steam, it will take you to 4.12.2m. Edited August 22, 2014 by Calvamos
Bearcat Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I have no idea how Steam works but if you can make a backup of the stock version.
SOLIDKREATE Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) I have no idea how Steam works but if you can make a backup of the stock version. Imagine a car that has a bad catalytic converter and one misfiring cylinder. There is no reverse gear and only gears 1,3 &6. You can only make left turns. It also has a flat tire and blown suspension. That is still better than Steam. Edited October 1, 2014 by KOTP_SPEKTRE76
dburne Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Woohoo, found my copy of 1946 , now time to reinstall this puppy. I also have downloaded the 4.12.2M megapatch, so going to install 46 then the megapatch, then I will take a look at what I need to do after that, like the HSFX7 mod...
DD_Crash Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Before you do ANYTHING make sure its working and then make a BACKUP!!!!!
dburne Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Before you do ANYTHING make sure its working and then make a BACKUP!!!!! Yikes, already installed the 4.12.2M Mega Patch - but so far all appears to be working. Maybe I should back it all up at this point, thanks.
Jocko Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 HSFX 7.2 on top of 4.12.2 is great. Try adding a few other mods as well, such as VisualMod 8, MissionProCombo, and a few of the latest maps such as Stalingrad retowned, retextured, revillaged. A lot of useful info is here: http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php. The graphics are still not quite as impressive as BOS, but the amount of content is staggering.
LA1 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I need to reinstall IL2 I had HFSX 6, How do I uninstall HFSX ?
Weegie Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Jeez talk about timing I'm downloading HSFX 7.2 right now
Weegie Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I need to reinstall IL2 I had HFSX 6, How do I uninstall HFSX ? I'd just re-install you don't need to bother if you're referring to an upgrade 7.2, you just install over the top, from what I read on Mission 4 Today I've just installed 7.2 and it all went remarkably smooth no pain at all and its great Well worth the effort, brilliant stuff
LA1 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Just finished installing IL2 1946, did the mega pack update to 4.12 , installed the HSFX auto updater in the root of the game. got an error that the c++ redistribution that was on my PC was newer. Ran the auto updater and it got an error but it looked like it was running, downloaded around 100meg. I really like this game. I Like all the carrier based planes + the European theatre of war planes. are there any other add-ons or.........?
DD_Crash Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I think you will need to install HSFX-7.0 before the updater will work. If you want offline flying I suggest you look at DarkBlueWorld Full Monty http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,28809.0.html It is a LOT of LARGE downloads but it gives you nearly everything you could want
Forager Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) The Full Monty is 2 episodes behind the curve, There is a newcomer, soon to be available that will bring all previous TFM content to 4.12.2. Check this out: CFM USERS MANUAL FINAL.RAR - 97,144 KBhttps://www.mediafire.com/?67toyrhhcajx5x1 You will have massive WWII content planes and maps, Korea, maps and planes, Viet Nam maps and planes, cold war planes, Large amount of objects and improved Full Mission Builder to use them with. There is an effort underway to update DBW 1916 for use with CFM. Good things still going on in IL2 1946 land. Edited January 27, 2015 by Forager
LA1 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) mission4today has been hacked.....how long has the site been like that ? I think you will need to install HSFX-7.0 before the updater will work I was thinking the updater would see no HSFX version and update to HSFX 7.2, I guess not Edited February 2, 2015 by LA1
Siipiorava Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Anyone know how to remove all mods? I installed ultrapack to my il2 a long time ago (steam version btw), but now it wont start at all with the SAS selector.
wellenbrecher Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Delete everything and use the backup you, as a sensible user of mods, made before installing the mods. You didn't? Tough luck, uninstall and reinstall and MAKE BACKUPS.
LA1 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Anyone know how to remove all mods? I installed ultrapack to my il2 a long time ago (steam version btw), but now it wont start at all with the SAS selector. there is something with steam , verify files or something like that . It will revert all your files back to the original and remove all the mods.
wellenbrecher Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) That will only restore the game files that have been changed by mods. Which means it will leave you with stubs and unused files all over the place. Not recommended. Edited February 16, 2015 by wellenbrecher
