I have to honorable colleagues two questions.
1. Do I have to install all the patches from oldest to newest, or just install the latest.

Step-1 : install original SAS Engine MOD 2.7
Step-2 : install latest (if you are OK -- latest Beta, if not -- latest stable in 1st post) western patch

2. What is "JapanCat's MergeEffect for SAS Engine", whether it is needed or op- tional.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Regards

The link to introduction topic of his mod blog is 1st post.
Not needed, it's optional. You can choose it only when you like.

If you want to install this side:
Step-1 : install original JapanCat's MergeEffect for SAS Engine 2.7 (containing full-set of Engine MOD 2.7)
Step-2 : install latest (if you are OK -- latest Beta, if not -- latest stable in 1st post) western patch for JC's MergeEffect.

[Seb]

AGAIN: NO FULL QUOTES!

Thank you very much for your answer.
Regards.

[Koty]

[KingTiger503]

Hey western, thanks for update, it works now.

[western0221]

I moved version 05/Feb./2016 to the 1st post as a latest stable version.

[SAS~Malone]

hi western, a little late here, but i only just got around to installing the latest patch today, and on my first attempt, simply running a test mission i have been running repeatedly in FMB without problem, i immediately had a 30% loading fail with my Modact 530 game. the error log shows the following:

the aircraft i'm using here, the FAC Hurricane, i thought at first it might be the FAC loadout now causing the problem, but i then also tried the default loadout, and again a 30% loading fail, with a similar, but not exactly the same, error in the log:

to try and see if it's just that plane, i then loaded up another mission, this time a mission that i have also flown repeatedly in QMB prior to adding this update, and again i get a 30% load fail, this time the error seems to be about the torpedo loadout for the Betty - i have not changed this, it's the same loadout i was using on several missions earlier. ALL that changed since was my updating of the Engine Mod...

the torpedo loadout the Betty is using there is from this mod of Dreamk : - https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,46400.0.html
but again, I must stress, this exact same mission had no such errors prior to updating the Engine Mod.

i use this version of the update: MargeEffects_20151031R_patch_western_20160205_PALsCockpitSounds_FullThrottleFlame

[SAS~Malone]

since my previous post, i have tried several other planes, such as a Hurricane IIb with 250lb bomb loadout, and still i'm getting a 30% fail, error log for this:

i guess i could keep posting more of this up, but i think you get the idea.... 
for now i have to go back to the previous version, as i obviously can't get anywhere with this happening.

[SAS~Malone]

now, after testing more, i realised that when i updated this Engine Mod, i also renamed the PAL_VisualMod9 to load just after the Engine Mod in load sequence, and it now seems as if this is the cause of the 30% problem.
when i reverted back to the previous Engine Mod, i found i was still getting the same 30% crash, so it could not be the new Engine Mod patch....
when i renamed the VisulaMod9 to load before Engine Mod again, i no longer get the 30% crash.
now, i f memory serves, this is exactly the opposite of the VisualMod instructions - i'm sure it's supposed to load AFTER the Engine Mod - either way, it doesn't work that way, so i have it again loading early in the load order, with only the Common Utils and the A-6 beta Weapons Pack_Gen2016 in the load order before it.
i should also inform that i have been experiencing some of the VisualMod features not functioning, even though it loads so early in the sequence.
i won't repeat them all here, but you will see if you look in the VisualMod thread, there are numerous posts where i am just adding problem after problem. it does seem i'm in a minority of one with these problems, but i can't really make any progress until i resolve this seeming problems between the VisualMod and the Engine Mod.
