Hi Bergkamp, many thanks for your kindly reply and your suggestion about #SAS clean vanilla folder.
As follow is the installation I performed for TFM-412 The Next Level in a dedicated folder; after each step I tested the game and next I will report the results. I always tested the game playing in QMB by Crimea map, and sometimes I tested Crimea map in FMB also:
• IL-2 1946 4.07m: tested and working. All ok.
• IL-2 4.12.2m mega patch: tested and working. All ok.
• SAS Modact 5.3 for IL-2 4.12.2m: tested and working. All ok.
At this time I checked both new #SAS folder installed with SAS Modact and the clean vanilla #SAS I dowloaded, and I believe both are identically. This is my opinion and in this case I have mantained the SAS Modact ones.
• SAS AI Flyables 5.30 for IL-2 4.12.2m: tested and working. All ok.
• SAS JSGME Options for Modact 5.3x: tested and working. All ok.
• SAS JSGME Options for Modact 5.3x_Hotfix_001: tested and working. All ok.

Then I added the UP-SFS files. I get these files from my DBW 1.71 TFM.
Also in these case, after each sfs files group I tested the game:
• UP_maps01-05.sfs: tested and working. All ok.
• Updbw_mapex01-08.sfs: tested and working. All ok.
• Up_textures01-01.sfs: tested and working. All ok.
• Up_object01-04.sfs: tested and working. All ok.

Then I added the various mods by JSGME, excluding #SAS_VisualMOD8 by P.A.L. and #SAS_Water=4 by Carsmaster, the first because I don’t like it and the second due to troubles reported by EntropicD to this link on page 118 post 1409:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,40015.msg476861/topicseen.html#msg476861 .
After each mods I tested the game and all worked very good untill install #TFM412-01_MAPMODS.
In this time also I had the same problems with crimea map. In QMB the maps did not load and the mission failed. The same things appen in FMB also but…I noticed in FMB there are Three crimea maps available: Crimea_summer, crimea_winter and crimea_mud. I have tested all three and only crimea_summer failed! Crimea_winter and Crimea-mud wors fine; I created a little flight with a Bf-109 in both the maps and they works fine.
So I checked the mapmods folder in the #sas folder and I noticed I have just one crime folder, not a folder for each map, summer, winter and mud. So I suppose the game try to load a map does not exist or it has been renamed. Beside in the file “All” Crimea_summer is crimeaload.ini…etc (sorry, I don’t remember the correct syntax..).
Next days I would try to correct Crimea_summer name to Crimea in the “all” file (after save it in original…;-)), but I don’t know this will works…
Many thanks for all your helps and suggestion!
Ciao.
