IL-2 1946 HSFX - Installation

[_AH_Gonzo]

Sorry Dark, the error I get is the map error.

TD I had a bunch of back up copies of the game and all of the downloads required to patch it up from the original Pacific Fighters 4.01 I think.

I would like to know if we are going to HSFX or not I really dont want to go threw the hasle if we dont go there.

the vote says it all lippy. we're going to HSFX, it's just a matter of when.
i'd say it will be official once everyone has it good to go, so don't be the last guy not ready..

Sorry Dark, the error I get is the map error.

Some of the maps have been renamed. I know at least one north african map was renamed and the Slot maps all got re-named to Solomons recently, possibly as part of their inclusion in an official patch. The easy fix is to go into the FMB and open the right map and save a temporary mission using it. Then open the .mis file of that temporary mission and copy the first line in the [MAIN] section. ie.  "MAP LALnormandy2/LAL_load2.ini". Then paste that line into the old mission, it should then use the new map name and load fine.

We're already there, just waiting for all pilots to get 'up & on!

Really no hassle depending on your download speed. The only hassle is the updater taking you from version HSFX 6.01 to the current version. That takes a while to download. The server is pretty slow. Expect 2 - 3 hours.

well, after much frustration I did get the correct resolution for my screen and my user file to work.....Ima bout ready to  this computer .....  just dont call me geek .... youlll start me to drinkin again. Now all I have to do is get the updater running and hook it all up to the hyper lobby..... I really like the idea Olds has..... its hooked up to the switcher so he can run any version he wants to by just putting the version over to the right side.......

[_AH_Olds]

Even simpler, Nimble, I don't have to move anything. I just select from the list on the left. Just don't hit the Delete Game button ...it can make a mess. That's why I keep extra copies

 :unhappy-059:sky9 for one any sight that says i have to come in with 4.11.1

[_AH_Duff4r]

Ahhh, OK you must choose HSFX servers or...open your JSGME.exe and move everything to to left. Now you can get into the stock game servers with 4.11.1

To play HSFX servers then move HSFX history mod to the right side, OK?

~S~
     Who,what,where,when,why of all those mods in the GSME? There are a whole bunch of 'um and I only use(per. Turbo)3 or 4. What are the other ones for? Why not put 'um all over on the right side or dump 'um? Just wondering.

Thank you so much Duff, these instructions have been invaluable to me. Doing the HSFX updater.exe now.
Good time to get some lunch. S!
