HI,
Can anyone help have installed New DBW ok ,and it works great !
But  I am getting  a massive frame rate drop when its running ( on average 11 FPS.)
If I run the same  campaign in stock game mode I am getting 60FPS.
The scenery and effects look the same in both games etc.,  except for the sound.
What could cause this?
Cheers. EC1

Must say guys very nice work indeed. If you guys get a chance is there a possibility that you's would be able to put the Australian Boomerang Fighter in one of your future patches ?
Keep up the good work. 

Cheers Yeti.

Hey there guys.  I Dl'd this fantastic mod last year and I've been enjoying it since, but I'm wondering - I see 4.12 mentioned.  Does this mean that if I patched my game to 4.12.2m all the parts available on page 1 work?

Thanks.

EDIT - Nevermind, I've just seen the TFM-412 thread.  Great work gents.  Will download that asap.

If you enjoyed DBW with TFM Raven, then you'll have an absolute blast with TFM-412. The performance is so much better and there is so much more functionality in it, you just won't want to bother with the old stuff again.

Thanks.  Yeah I have a blast with this version of TFM.  Although I tend to dip in and out and only play offline, thus I've never really been all that good.  For example I only recently learned to land the Mosquito on land and the F4U on a carrier, and I can just about do it 3 times in a row...  Landings have always been a problem for me but I upgraded to a Saitek X45 from a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X late last year after initially installing this version of TFM and I've found using the Saitek X45 is much better, thus I've progressed in my flying.

Currently in progress of downloading all the parts of TFM-412.  I wish there was a torrent with all parts in one lump though...

Great work though, I really appreciate the effort in keeping this old sim going.

Having the right hardware is critical to really nailing the skillset in sim flying. If you haven't tried it already I would recommend Straight From the Farm by Zeus-Cat as mandatory flight training - aimed at getting you onto the carrier in one piece every time.

Thanks.  I tried the Straight From The Farm missions late last year.  Great mission pack and very useful.  My problem is more that I don't play regularly enough to remember it all, and then by the time I have gotten back to being capable I end up getting bored and playing other games.

Yes, I quite understand what you mean there. It's the lack of challenge that makes us lose interest I think and pushes us towards the more challenging sim environments. This is the appeal of CloD where the learning curve is much steeper and even FSX/Prepar3d where it can be as real as you want.

Okay, I hold my hands up and say I messed up a tad. I started with "TFM-412 The Next Level" and started to install things there, and soon after starting I realized that Id much rather stuck with this version old DBW -TFM. Ive already installed SAS Mod activator, and hoped that installing all the New-TFM in JSGME would just over ride everything and everything would be fine. Turns out soon after starting IL2 from the selector the game doesn't even start. So the point of my post is thus.
Where do I go from here?

Full restart on IL2 install, or can I poach the SAS modact files and start from there?

[SAS~Malone]

considering you started with one version, then tried to change to another (the two are not compatible, btw), the best course of action would be to start from scratch...

[Thefox]

Okay, My bad! Ill get straight on it =]

And just to make sure, its all 4.12 compatible? Im sure I read it was, but theres quite abit to take in, and when I last used TFM it wasnt 4.12 compatible.

Before you make another mess of an install, STOP!

You need to go to the thread for TFM-412 The Next Level and follow the setup guide there. Do not deviate from it as there are many false branches called 'Shortcut' and 'Quick Way' but follow the instructions from Monty and you won't go wrong.

Only use the modpacks 1-27 for TFM-412. All the other TFM packs are for DBW which is based around 4.10 and not suitable for the more advanced 4.12.
