Hey Monty! I've gotten back into il-2 after a long hiatus after a computer crash. Anyways, I have downloaded all of your packs and activated them in order after patching the game to 4.12.2 and activating the ai flyables via jsgme. I've followed all instructions to the "t" and am having some issues. I will list them below with as much detail as possible. My system consists of an i7-4700hq, nvidia gtx 765m, 12 gb ram, 1 tb hdd, and 128 gb ssd.
First, the game is noticeably slower than it used to be. I'm getting an average of 30 fps when I used to get upwards of 50. Here is my conf.ini: [il2]

Next, I am having weird crashes. I will load up a mission in QMB, fly for a little while and it will freeze and crash. This has never happened to me before trying TFM and 4.12 together.
Third, I am having issues with PAL's Visual Mod. I dropped the folder into my #SAS folder and added the lines to my conf.ini, but it's not appearing in game for some reason.
Fourth, I can't get QMB pro to work. When I got it loaded up by dropping the folder into my #SAS folder, I would go into QMB pro, set up a mission, launch it and it would crash once the mission loaded and the game started. So, I defragged my install and when I started playing the game again, QMB pro wasn't installed. I don't know what to make of this.
It should be noted that I'm running TFM 4.12 and a few of the included extras. I am trying to run QMB pro, PAL Visual Mod, and Tiger's Sounds too, but I'm having issues with visual mod and qmb pro.
Anyways, thanks Monty for all of your hard work. These packs are great and loaded with great additions to il-2!
