i installed the 2 new patches after installinhg stock 412.1 patch

Who did tell that Modact 5 is compatible with IL-2 4.12.1 yet?

Best regards - Mike

how do I adjust the resolution? it keeps on crashing whenever i try to do so. any help is much appreciated! thanks!

[SAS~Storebror]

Try to repeat adjusting the resolution in Stock Game mode. Modact 5 uses the same settings, so whatever you adjust in stock game mode applies to Modact 5 too.

And please make sure not to use IL-2 4.12.1m together with Modact 5 yet. You have to wait for the release of a new Modact 5 Patch which implements compatibility with that latest official patch.

But, Heretic, you also should Make another folder in jsgmemods for the current 4.12 files.SFS, and 4.12 DT.dll so you can revert back to 4.12...

And that wont make 4.12.1m work until SFS Auto and the Selector has been recoded for 4.12.1m.

So its best for all of us to wait for the oficial ModAct Patch.

[Heretic]

Well, it's too late now, lol.

But here it goes again, in short order:

1. JSGMEMODS\4.12.1 (create it!) with dt.dll and files.sfs from 4.12.1
2. All other 4.12.1 files remain in IL2's root folder
3. Folder named #4121 in IL-2 root with the "STD" and "XTD" folders from 4.12 (Modact) in it
4. In #4121\STD\.rc remove the three lines referring to SAS automount and add: "@sfs MOUNT fb_3do26.sfs" and "@sfs MOUNT fb_maps20.sfs" to it
5. Open il2fb.ini and add this:

Code: [Select]

[Modtype_05]
Name=4.12.1m (JSGME!)
Help=Stock 4.12.1 (#4121) (Check JSGME!)
Files=none
Mods=#41216. Then change this to reflect the number of actual active entries (otherwise the selector won't list your entry for 4.12.1)

Code: [Select]

[Modtypes]
Types=n7. IL-2 should launch without crashing



- Edit:
How much of 4.12.1 gets broken by this, I don't know. But I could successfully run a single mission.

Meh, could've been done with much less work.

Thanks for steering me straight, I missed the .1 part and incorrectly assumed new 412.1 was out and new update was for it.

on another note my never set up back up copy has been done up to 412.1, wont open says it needs dvd in drive, I removed the org exe and tried the no dvd one and it opens to 5% and crashes, screen says 412.1. any ideas before I go bonkers, I have the dvd so I can always do up another install with all patches from 408. also copied my older 412 into a new folder, it is using the 4446kb exe and isnot modded,
also tried the sound in set up as in the 5% troubleshooter page but to no avail.

Really, your better off using you DVD version, "less problems"

[<Gunny>]

I made a clean install with the newer modact for 4.12.1 that was posted today.
Now I cant record a mission. This is what is says.

Sure it was hard to get what's been told a dozen of times already:

please make sure not to use IL-2 4.12.1m together with Modact 5 yet.

Should I make this the forum banner for the coming days? Send it around to everyone by e-mail? Engrave it in stone and drop it on the capitol?

Eh look at it this way Mike,  They sure are enthusiastic about 4.12 and Modact!

But yeah I see where you coming from. And I would prefer my notice on Italian Marble please.
