so for long distance mode i must download and put in the sas directory the files which they are for the ultra pack 3?

[Oscarito]

That's what is written but perhaps it would be more logical to put them directly into the "Gurner FX 4.3" folder. Guess both ways should work. As I've said before I don't use this so make some tests yourself to confirm.

thnx for the help

Hi guys, long time away from this forum. Had to relearn how to install mods all over again.

(re)Newb question.

I've pulled my IL-2 1946 out of the mothballs, updated it to 4.10.1 and installed DBW, which is fine since I feel no need to go to 4.12 yet.
Installed some campaigns, a few additionnal mods (Jiver's sound mod, Abyssinia mod pack, Carsmaster water mod).
I now wanted to install Gurner's FX mod, but Il-2 will not start if I activate it.

Since I only installed the class files in JSGME, I believe my error is that I did not include the 3do and effects folders. In reading the instructions, I might have misunderstood that I need to include those.

Having said this, where exactly do I include these folders? I see most of the support posts here are for HSFX, but seeing as the file folders are different for DBW, I'm a bit confused.

Thanks!

Hi Frog, and welcome back to SAS,

I just put the class files in a folder call it "Files", and put both "Files and Effects" Folders in my Mods Folder.

[FroggyCanuck]

Thanks BravoFxTrt for the quick reply.

I put the folders in with the class files ("files") as you mentioned and it seems to work now, at least it launches!

Cheers!

Hello everyone,

I'm on 4.12.2 + SAS Modact 5.3 + Jetwar 1.33

I'm having a problem with this mod.
I'm 99.9% sure gurner FX is conflicting with my SAS Engine Mod v2.7

I don't know what to do anymore...

I have tried to rename gurner fx folder so it's loaded before SAS Engine mod.
I have tried to run the classfiles with JSGME
I have tried to run gurner FX with JSGME
I have tried both classfiles and gurner FX in mod folder loaded before SAS Engine mod

I'm quite desperated now lol.
So that's the reason why I'm writing here, because I could not find an anwser myself.

If someone could help me please do it!

Best regards,

C.W.

Clint which mods You using ? Engine Mod 2.7 work fine with Gurner FX for sure ... but in my JSGME ( 4.12.2 + MA 5.3 + TFM 412 + lots other mods including GurnerFX 4.3 ) it collide with JCat Merge Effects after when I deactivate it work well so look the problem in other activated mods .. cheers !!

Done!

I've installed Gurner effects pack and slightly modified it with some excellent material sent to me by Santo and the file made available by HolyGrail. Here it is, the result:

Before...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...and after
Much better now, don't you think so?
A real smoke trail instead of a black blotch in sky...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I don't know if someone else have noticed this bug in "Gurner effects pack", I mean these muzzle flashes...
I've replaced them by the correct effect by simply deleting "GunFireDay" folder in 3do/Effects


Thank You All for the Help!!
 

That's a very nice and smooth looking smoke. ^^ Though can you tell me specifically how should I configure the BlackHeavySPDWing.eff to get the exact look as your better looking smoke?

[Clint Watters]

I'm not using many "effect" mods. Gurner FX is the one and only I'm trying to get to work on my setup.
I'm confused. I have downloaded:

----> Here it is - V4.3 3do & Effects folders - https://www.mediafire.com/?p13cz0bmdcxkedl

and:

Modact    - https://www.mediafire.com/?azftp4d1k5d3lp5

I'm on modact 5.3. Are those the right files to download?

Once I got them both, I just took the "classfiles" copied, pasted them into the Gurner FX 3DO & Effects folder.
I pasted the whole Gurner FX 3DO & Effects folder into #SAS mod file.
With the classfiles added I get a 30% crash in the second load (When I'm loading a mission)
Without the classfiles, no crash at all, but no wide napalm blow from Gurner FX.

I have tried the same method with JSGME as well. The results are the same.

Please help,

C.W.

[Knochenlutscher]

Clint, post an excerpt of your Logfile, however it crashes or not.
30% crash screams for it. At least stuff there can Help.
Best wishes

[Clint Watters]

I never found out how to find where the log file was in my game setup. All I know is the Shift+Tab that you can hit while in game.

A friend of mine Steven, sended me somekind of a mix: Gurner FX 4.3 + 00_New Napalm file.

I just added them into MOD file, and it worked. Only problem is, the smokes do not last for very long. 2-3 minutes most of the time.
The smokes also tend to disappear quickly when I'm flying away.

I've tried to install "Long View Distance Mod" The DBW version. I didn't really know what version to get, I'm on 4.12 + Modact 5.3
I don't see any download for Modact for this Distance mod.

Anyway, I'm not trough this problem yet.  :\'(

Thanks for your concern,


Best regards - Clint W.
