Hi I am new to Modact.  Just wonder if I just use modact for some graphics effects such as big cloud etc. and nothing else, would modact change any of the stock FMs and AI by default?

[SAS~Storebror]

The answer is: No.
For the sake of online compatibility we decided to leave all stock plane FMs untouched in Modact 5.3.
This was something the online community argued much about concerning previous Modacts, HSFX and the like.
We've got in touch with some of the Skies of Valor Server admins and finally found that it's best to just leave the stock FMs as they are.

Best regards - Mike

Awesome.  Good to know that. Thanks

Hello,

is the Turret Fix and Faster Turrets Mod in 4.12.2 with ModAct 5? And another thing: starting up an engine is quite something: first sound, then no sound with windmilling prop, then sound again... if the engine is willing to come alive ... is this how it is supposed to be? If not, what can be done about it or... is it possible to disable some files in the 2.7 Engine Mod so the starting up goes like in a vanilla install?
Loose from all this: 4.12 is quite something! Like it very much.

Greetings

Jenato

Ok i am soo fustrated i have tryed everything to try to get the sas modact to work the game starts and runs but when i try to start quick misson builder and start a mission with ANY plane its just a screen with a bunch of gliching visuals here are the things that i did STEP BY STEP

I download Il-2 1946 form steam whitch is already updated to 4.12.2

then i copy the game folder and place it out of my program files

then i load the direct to drive patch

then i testit, everything works,

then i load the modact 5.30 and i test it the visuals get all glichy ( when i start quick misson builder)

WTF IS THE PROBLEM

[GerritJ9]

From my 4.12.2 + Modact 5.30 installation the B-239 was missing. Turned out there was no entry for the B-239 in the air.ini so I copied it from a previous Modact's air.ini. After that the B-239 appeared and works. I suggest everybody else checks this.

[whovian980]

nope, i checked and it was there so thats not the problem

then i load the modact 5.30 and i test it the visuals get all glichy ( when i start quick misson builder)

Hard to tell.
Since this has never been reported before, I'm wondering if it might be a hardware/driver issue on your PC.
Do you have any screenshot or Fraps captured video to show us what you mean with "glichy"?

From my 4.12.2 + Modact 5.30 installation the B-239 was missing. Turned out there was no entry for the B-239 in the air.ini

Whatever happened to your air.ini, in Modact 5.30 the B-239 is there.
This is the line in air.ini:

Code: [Select]

B-239             air.F2A_B239 2                                f01   WINTER
Maybe you missed it since it resides at the bottom of the plane list in the "VARIOUS" section, right before the aces.

whovian - please post up a screenshot of this glitchy stuff, if possible.
this is a very unusual sounding problem, so we will need to check everything out.

[whovian980]

I think its an internal PC problem so ill restore and get back to you

I'm hoping for some help here.

What I'm trying to do is to get the planes that HSFX has that the stock game doesn't have. So, I started with a vanilla ModAct 5.30. I tried putting in just the HSFX .sfs files into the SFS_AUTO folder along with, of course, those files that are already in there. Here's the list of .sfs files:

fb_hfx3do01 to fb_hfx3do27
fb_hfxbeta
fb_hfxcontrol
fb_hfxmaps
fb_hfxmaps01 to fb_hfxmaps05
fb_hfxPaintSchemes
fb_hfxsounds
fb_hfxsounds01

After placing the appropriate skins folders into PaintShemes, I then added, one at a time, these three planes from HSFX:

P-38J-10-LO       air.P_38J10LO 1                               usa01 DESERT
P-38J-25-LO       air.P_38J25LO 1                               usa01 DESERT
P-38L-5-LO        air.P_38L5LO 1                                usa01 DESERT

The game crashed at 60% each time telling me these planes aren't available. What am I missing or what else do I need to do to get the planes from HSFX into ModAct 5.30?

Thanks for any help.

Bob
