Re: SAS Most Awesome Modact 3.0 for 4.101

Just for everyone's info, in about a day or two, we will post an udated version 3.02. It is just a newer version of the selector (you are on the cutting edge here, so expect this sort of thing). It just has some improvements called for from the UP3 testers, and a few additional or expanded features and checks. Storebror is working very hard to make this thing perfect.

For guys who have already updated to 3.01, this will be a simple small download of 1 file, you will just replace the il2fb.exe.(I hope! lol, as always, the online crowd are doing their best to throw spanners in the works  :D )

For guys who are still on 3.0, there will be a small upgrade package like for 3.01

For guys who still have not gotten Modact 3 at all, there will be a complete 3.02 download with udated guide.

This will be in perhaps a day, maybe two, but as with these things , one can never be 100% sure. This is just a heads up.

and to CWMV: man, dont feel alone. I have these little "lapses of focus" all the time. ;D Good that you posted though, because surely someone else will benifit from the hard won experience. Anway, as I said above, this is the bleeding edge of il2 modding, so we are all test pilots here. We were stuck in the "MODS/FILES" setup for so long, it takes a while to get one's brain used to something different.

HSFX is not one of the options!
HSFX is a "Classic Mod Game".
This setting applies to all game versions which use the classic "FILES"/"MODS" folder scheme, including HSFX up to the current version 5.0.1.

Upgrade installed flawlessly on a ModAct v3.0 install, even though I did forget to remove a couple of mods from the #SAS folder. My compliments on the excellent work SAS~Storebror and crew. Going to merge with my HSFX 5.0.1 now and see how it goes.

Cheers

Hello, new here. Thank you for your modact.


Some suggestions for next version:

The included engine sound for tempest (griffon) is very annoying (The only sound that I get headache with :P). I suggest a change to an easier sound to play with.

The new propeller effect rapidly flashes too much on some planes with big propellers (Tempest again for example). I think the stock propeller is better choice (less invasive changes).

The EcranWide mod enlarges in-game fonts too much above defaults (icons/text over planes).  In the file "arialSmallZ.font" there should be no font above 10 (default max).

I have fixed them in my install, I am just mentioning them here in case others have similar annoyances.

Keep up the good work.

Hi U

All these things are either optional (you can switch them off), and, in the case of ALL of them, moddable. Indeed there are mods on this site that adresses everything you mentioned, AFAICR. If you made a mod to change some of them, post it in the guestmods section if you think others will benifit, and we will move them to the appropriate areas.

Hi CirX
Some problems
I tried to install a new plane and map for a new campaign and had a CTD crash, after that my il2fb.exe disapeared from the main game folder, and I had to reinstall it
Just to let you know I discovered that my Kaspersky antivirus is the responsible for the disapearence of the il2fb.exe, because the program is considering the il2fb.exe a threat to the system
Tks

I've had the disappearing .exe too. Have not been able to discern a pattern in it.

A small problem when using this mod in qmb when mission start all we get is the gun-sight view cannot f2 to full plane view and also does it in single mission also does anyone else have this problem and is there a cure.
Happens in 3.01 sas and 410.1/2.5 with using the new exe.

As for the disappearing exe, in some rare cases where the game crashes at some specific point, the selector might reside under the name "il2fb.sas". That's when the game hangs (read: not crashes) right at the moment where the launcher should be initiated.
This issue can't be resolved since there has to be some renaming for the Nvidia users, where the 3D settings are tied to the name "il2fb.exe" which is kinda shared between the selector and the game launcher now.
Three things can be done in that case:
  • Ctrl+Alt+Delete to launch the Task Manager. Find all processes called "il2fb.exe". If there's just one: Kill it. If there are more than one: Kill the one with "... selector ..." in the description last. This should likely bring back your selector already.
  • If 1.) failed, watch out for "il2fb.sas" in your IL-2 game folder and rename it to "il2fb.exe".
    This will bring back your selector again.
  • If 1.) and 2.) failed, just copy the il2fb.exe from the ModAct 3.01 patch to your IL-2 game folder again, overwriting any possibly existing il2fb.exe in that folder.

No clue what Kaspersky's worried about, ask them.

jt189, please check your ram usage setting and Expert Mode / Large Address Aware selection.
To be on the safe side, use 512MB and no LAA.
Anyway, memory issues usually end up in having no cockpit at all. If instead you don't have externals view (F2), I'd rather say you messed with your difficulty settings.

Thats exactly what was happening to me, I was wondering where il2fb.sas came from.
Thanks for the solutions!
