Hello !
First off, thanks a lot for this mod, it looks awesome from what I've seen of it !
Unfortunately, I tried to install it today and am having some issues.
After installing the mod and running the SAS executable, the game closes to desktop at 20% loading without freezing or any error message.
Here is how I installed it :
I have IL-2 1946 patched up to v4.12.2m
I ran the SAS MODACT 5.30 executable and installed it in my install folder (I backed up my original install)
It seemed to have been installed properly, with JSGME and everything, HOWEVER I couldn't set it to max resolution without it crashing, don't know if that could be related.
I installed the SAS ENGINE mod and enabled it with JSGME, along with a couple of graphics mods.
I replaced my buttons file by the one included in the SAS BUTTONS mod (backed it up first)
At this point the game was still able to load at default resolution, I was able to launch a few flights without encountering any problems.
Then, I tried to install The Jet Era.
I added the core folder to my #SAS folder and extracted the rest in my install folder.
I applied the hotfix by replacing the core folder by the one from the hotfix.
I added the required lines to my air.ini, however I did not find any planes_ru or weapons_ru. There seemed to be the same kind of files, but for different nations, like planes_hu, etc... I created the files myself and pasted the lines in them.
As I said earlier, the game now crashes at 20% on the loading screen.
Does anyone know the solution ?
I got quite confused on the various versions of the required mods, so if it can simply be a version problem, could someone post the links for the latest versions of the required mods for 4.12.2 ?
Thanks in advance !
LAST SECOND EDIT :
Before submitting this post, I checked the OP again, and it is possible that I have been tricked by the big bold "YOU MUST HAVE" links... Would installing the Engine mod v2.6RC instead of the 2.7 cause this ? I cannot check right now.
