The SMF variant is a real beauty Eric, excellent mod, thank you very much indeed.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

S3 you are an absolute genius - the condensation effect on the wings of the SMF version is amazing 
So looking forward to your F-18, and all the cool goodies you will include with that.
Thanks for all the long hours of dedication you have given to this great sim and sharing with us 
Please enjoy RL and take all the time you need - the final result will be more than worth the wait 

+100,000...This is one of the all-time great mods.

This a/c is my absolute FAVORITE and the ordinance makes this plane........NOT to be messed with!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to S3 and all who had a hand in making this plane it TRULY is innovative!!! Many naysayers out there said/posted/thought jets couldn't be modeled in IL-2, let alone ones that have VTOL capabilities/active hud display/modern jets/etc.....they said "It couldn't be done".....BUT IT BE DONE!!

Finally found which tga file to resize, etc... and tested both.

-the original Yak-36 engine does not come in hovering position, no way to do it work. But is *Deploy Refueling Device" for this function ? or is it something else (I have seen nothing regarding refueling probe...). This apart, the plane takes off normally, and in flight, it handles well.

-the SMF... WOAW ! this is a real BEAST ! Arrestor key to make it hovering works perfectly, and the plane is flying very well (I must not forget to retract the air brakes once in flight...) !

This is an absolute must have !

Just hope to find the problem with the original one... I run DBW1.71+Buttons10.3+JetWar1.32+EngMod2.6RCfinal+Mig21.

Ok, I swore not to waste precious S3's time anymore, but something still tickles inside, I can't let it go.

So:
In last my post about problems with SMF i've included log file, which led to conclusion that outdated version of Engmod is to blame.
Since then I've spent countless hours redownloading and reinstalling every required mod from first to last, except maybe L-159 and true color, since it would be simply absurd. I have replaced:
- Jet era 1.32, + hotfix and patch.
- Buttons 10.3
- SAS Engine mod +hotfix
- Mig-21.

Guess what? Nothing changed. The only possible reason for such tragedy that I can think of is my exceptional ability to make outrageously stupid mistakes in the most unexpected places.
 
So, I want to ask some idiotic questions. Hopefully they will be the last ones, and if nothing changes I give up.

Currently I have two folders in my #SAS directory: !SAS_Engine_Mod_4101m_v26 and 000_1956_Core_v13. I think, maybe this is not a proper place to install both these mods? I have tried to start them both with JSGME, that resulted in ctd. I have tried to put them both into #DBW, that changed nothing. Engmod installation instruction implies it can be either in #SAS or in #DBW, Jetwar core installation instruction recommends to put it into #SAS. Question for those who have SMF working in DBW install: where are your !SAS_Engine_Mod_4101m_v26 and 000_1956_Core_v13 folders?

Second thing. Link in the first post leads to Engmod topic by Anto. There is a huge red link screaming "Download 2.6 Release Candidate Final *Both Game Versions*(updated 02 May 2013)", this is where I've got my !SAS_Engine_Mod_4101m_v26 folder from, and I haven't used any older versions of Anto's mod. I've simply downloaded aforementioned folder (along with 4.11 version), extracted it into my #DBW (moved to #SAS), replaced Catapults.ini, replaced some classfiles with hotfix (another red screaming link), and here I am, getting "Mission loading failed: null" message. Is there something that I may have missed? Is there some older mod required to have, or fix/patch somewhere in Engmod thread, or anything else that I could have missed? What is the correct procedure for installing latest Engmod?

Last (and probably the least): is it somehow possible that hardware limitations are causing my problem? I have quite old rig, so far I've had some minor problems with true color mod, nothing serious (AI piloted planes with HD skins sometimes tend to simply disappear, it never led to any error), even more - I've resized default SMF skin to 1024, with no result. But maybe some state-of-the-art effects are too much for old hardware and it causes game not to recognize some values in some files? (yeah, this is variant is pretty weak)

 
I am fully aware that most of these questions are absolutely dumb, yet currently I am at the point of such desperation that I don't even feel ashamed of myself. Also I am sorry if my English is unreadable at some places of this stupidly long and complicated post.


S3, no matter what, you've made an incredible job - who could have thought such things are even remotely possible in Il-2 skies.

I totally identify.

I believe meet all the requirements and same result: "Mission loading failed: null"
It's a great shame not to enjoy this amazing bird. 

Also greatly appreciate the great work of the authors.

I love to fly this plane! After the mission, I can just land direct in the parking zone, without any taxing.

After installing 2.5 I can't get the V/TOL junk to work on the original  version. SMF works great???

OK so I'm using 4.10 DBW, the original Yak-36 V/TOL  gear worked great. Is there a way to get the V/TOL gear to work with 4.10 on the 2.5 version?

[adambegg]

One version uses the "Deploy Refuelling Device" key and the other uses the "Deploy Arrestor Hook" key (I think the SMF uses the arrestor one).

I hope that helps.

[Blazing]

It doesn't work for me, the new 4.11.1 version for my 4.10.1m. it comes up with mission null at 100%

[CALINHO]

Works fine in my 4.12.2 setup
