For users who have an older modact 4.0/3.0x and need to upgrade:Unfortunately we don’t have much good news for you. With any game version change, it brings multiple changes and it is difficult to predict all of the side-effects. Therefore as much as pain it is, we STRONGLY recommend you create a fresh Il-2 install, patched all the way to 4.12m before installing ModAct v5.1. For those still on ModAct v3.06/v4.0, DBW 1.71 4.101m, HSFX 6 installs, they aren’t lost forever. We suggest porting your mods across one by one and seeing what happens.
You can try just patching your current install to 4.12m and plonking this over the top but it is likely it won’t work. You should do this at your own risk! We are still in the process of confirming what mods are and aren’t compatible with 4.12m.
