I'm a bit confused, do we still need to activate the stock DBW mods in jsgme or just TFM?

I'm a bit confused, do we still need to activate the stock DBW mods in jsgme or just TFM?

New-TFM = Version 4:10.1m   + UP.30RC + Dark Blue World + New-TFM downloads
TFM-412  = Version 4:12.2m   + SFS files (19 listed) + TFM-412 downloads

Ok so I can't get this to work, here is what I am doing:

1. Clear JSGME of activated modules
2. rename original DBW folder and use the provided stock one
3. Unzip TFM modules into jsgme folder
4. Unzip Tiger sounds and clay sfs thing into root folder of il2
5. Activate modules

And I keep getting a crash after all the above is done  ???

Dear Sirs,
fifth attempt with an operating vanilla DBW, I introduce the New TFM 01, stuck directly at 5%. I meet the same experience with TFM 412. I give up.
Regards

Your experience should tell you that you are doing something fundamentally wrong. You don't include what steps you have taken in any detail and there is nothing for anybody to work with in order to assist you. Your attitude is quite negative. All the TFM packages are quite straightforward in fact but they do require that you follow a set of instructions implicitly, otherwise you will come to grief.

Why not come on back and we can discuss where you are going wrong? Would be a shame to miss out on all that this sim has to offer.

yes, i think you should start a thread in the newcomers section, so we can try and go through it step by step with you, without derailing this thread too much...

Hi Monty.

Sorry for not replying to your post on The Full Monty. I messed up my IL-2 install by trying to uninstall DBW in a hurry. Now I "think" its fixed. I wanted to say thanks for the help. However in the end it was just too big for my machine to handle.

As you suggested I looked up your newer version. I am currently installing it as we speak. I must say the main attraction off your mod to me was the Cold War and modern jets. But I see that you are planning on making a Jet war pack at a later date to be added seperatly. ( I myself am getting your optional download to change Between ww1, SCW, WW2/KW, and JW). My plan is to get New TFM installed. Then the updated 3.0 version of the WW1 mod, the SCW mod and hopefully soon, your Jetwar mod.

So will it be released anytime soon? Or maybe there has been a change of plans that I don't know of?

If I'm only using it for DBW 1916, do I need the FW190 stuff? I've just downloaded them. The two d/l sites for the other stuff are terrible. They either want $, or take for ever. Can they be put on Mediafire, M4T, or Uloz too please? If you want, I've got a Mediafire acccount with very little on it.

cheers

David, if I understand correctly, you just want DBW with only DBW 1916.

If so, you do not need New-TFM at all.

You just need a clean DBW folder and then install all the DBW 1916 content.

Then, in the main IL2 folder you will have a DBW folder and under that a DBW 1916 folder

WWI is a priority, but I'm greedy, and want it all. I'm also slowly installing TFM for 4.12. It's proceeding slowly, and I hope I haven't botched it up. I'll also get around to doing a 4.12 install for HSFX 7.0. In regard to the material from non-Mediafire sites, I'm happy to host it on my old still active Mediafire site. I no longer need it.

cheers

The two activation codes for  the selector vary according to the amount of RAM you select don't they. I simply can't figure them out. Why are they necessary anyway?

cheers

Help! Ok. I'm a little nervous to ask, because I'm totally new at this and don't want to get reamed for missing some procedure...but I've searched the forums and seem unable to find some help.

I am getting the infamous 60% CTD. I've isolated it to TFM pack 08. I can load the first 7 packs just fine. I've not tried farther, as TFM-08 makes the 60% crash happen.

I even tried a complete fresh install (no additional mods!)

Here are the steps I took to install (using the Gog.com version):
1.) Installed Gog.com version of IL-2 1946 (it's like version 4.11)
2.) Downgraded to 4.10
3.) Patched to the 4.10.1m
4.) Installed UltraPack 3, RC4 (works)
5.) Installed DBW 1.71 Superpack (works)
6.) Put Fresh #DBW folder in main folder, along with needed SFS and Tigersounds files
7.) Tried installing the packs...but still get a 60% CTD at TFM-08.

Is there something I am missing? Again, apologies if I seem dense for missing something obvious.

[MrGoTime]

Classic case of "i spoke too soon".

It was a pain, but I re-downloaded the DBW superpack and reinstalled everything from square one. I thought I had already done that...but I must have missed something.

Now it works wonderfully! The new campaigns are GORGEOUS and I'm digging the Monty's Dgen overhaul. Between my DCG/DBW set-up and this, I have all of the WW2 era flying stuff that I need. Thanks for the great work here!
