I'm not having any luck with getting it to work with HSFX at all, has anyone figured out how to get it to work?.
AG-51 had the old JW1.1 working in HSFX 5.0.1 using a modact from somewhere. I can get the game to start and load and I see the planes from the air.ini list in QMB but there are no pictures or loadouts. I go in and find I did not put in the .rc scripts for Jetwar SFS. When I put those in the game crashes at 5%. Which is supposed to be a modact problem. Now I'm not sure how Fireball did that in 5.0.1. I don't know if he had the HSFX History mod enabled in the mod because we don't use a Mod folder, it's a jsgme enabled mod and goes directly into the Files folder. I have not tried it yet with Stock (Mod Friendly) Compatibility mode. But then the game probably would not be compatible with SEOW formats. And our old 5.0.1 mod was compatible. I have tried the Modact from il2 modders and parts of the Modact 4 and renamed it from #SAS to MODS. They all gave the same results.
So if someone out there figured out how to get Jet War 1.2 to work in HSFX I for one would be very grateful to hear how.
Because I have a bunch of MDS and Coops from the old 1.1 pack and new ones from the 1.2 pack to put up for download.
Cheers
And Happy Holidays

Addendum to original
Okay, I got it to work in HSFX with the Mod folder or a jsgme to the files folder.
I put the @sfs MOUNT SAS_SFS/sasamt_jetwar_01.sfs & 02 into the .rc file and put the Jet War SFS files into a SAS_SFS folder in the il2 root folder and it finds them. But................... on some of the planes I get a freeze during loading of the aircraft at 100%, I hit esc and it goes back to desktop.
Sabre's with AtoA missiles
CA-27/32
FJ-3M
MIG-17F
MIG-17PF
TU-4
all of these planes freeze at 100% loading from QMB screen, all of the others load, but I get freeze in game when they go to drop bombs, or when one is hit and wants to come apart. I'd give you a log file of the freeze but my game CTD's at 70% when I enable Log=1.
It looks like I got them all to work except for the planes that carry Sidewinders or Russian planes that carry AtoA missles, including the Tu-4....... Kitchen missile I reckon.
Got some last minute instruction from the Guru, but the results were even worse........ plane loads but I got blue sky, the blue deck plates, with Mountains and trees showing and no plane.
Not being able to keep logs without the game CTD at 70% with Log=1 enabled I'm pretty much screwed, it's going to take someone who knows more about this than I do and can send the developers a logfile to see what's causing the problem. I'll try again with JW1.3 comes out, but if the luck remains the same I'm just going to have to live with the fact HSFX will never be able to run Jets other than stock UP3 planes..... and that blows...... LOL
