best extracted to C:\HSFX\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\jsgmemods and adding in switcher after 4.11.1 to retain an install still compatable with HSFX.

Also recommend copying your pilot profile , e.g. copy folder C:\HSFX\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\Users\doe and rename doe412 to assign new controls for 412 (again retaining your original HSFX assigns)

Hi Sneaky.
I get the extraction route but can you explain how to do 'adding in switcher'

Thanks.

Nephris wrote:Maybe you already noticed the custom sound solution, if not here we go,
it is possible add custom sounds to 4.12
This means u can use your own "soundmod" without the need of a mod activator like HSFX,UP or whatever the stuff is called.
Here is the link to Jiver's SoundPack: http://www.sendspace.com/file/wjmlvh

Just download the file from the link above, unzip, drag the content of "my_presets" to "my_presets" folder in your main il2 game folder. Aswell drag "my_samples" to "my_samples" in your main il2 game folder.



It will override your stock 4.12 sounds automatically with high-quality, realistic engine sounds, machine gun/cannon/rocket sounds, and other sounds.
You could also create a "modfolder" for JSGME ,if you want to keep the default sounds. I guess it is not crt2 relevant.
