So it is NOT this wonderful 3D 


be careful  ......

[NIGHTFIGHTER]

Im with  Motorhead here, downloaded the all in one, and new buttons and got the dreaded 60% crash.  Im running 4.12.2 HSFX 7.0.2 and could you please explain where and how we remove the 3D upgrade....There must be a way of getting this beast into the most modern version of the game.  I understand the this aircraft has been modded so many times it is hard to keep track of but wouldn't it make sence to scrap it and do a total re-build? God knows I understand all the hard work that has gone into bringing this to IL-2, but with it being so hard to install aircraft into some versions of the game, having several versions of one aircraft is very confusing...please dont think of this as being ungrateful or rude, but just a comment.  Us mortals who live in wonder of modders are very quickly confused

Nightfighter and Motorhead,

You may already know this but PA_Dore has adapted a number of planes for HSFX 7, including the Lancaster:

(Use the left-hand side navigation bat to History SFX then scroll down to the Lancaster for HSFX 7).

Unfortunately, while you can fly that Lancaster HSFX 7.0.2 the bomb sight does not work.  However it may be a starting point for further investigation.

Cheers,

[NIGHTFIGHTER]

sorry ben_wh ive tried that, installed it into jsgme as advised, all loads well then i go to QMB then the game freeze and we get no responce from the game, then you have to cen,alt,delt to get out of the programe....but thanks for the advice.

 If you are getting a 60% crash however it clearly indicates you are missing the flight model (which comes in the SAS buttons). I've only tested this in DBW and a clean ModAct 4.12.1m install but if you add SAS buttons to HSFX, it should work.

Wally: the repack uses tf101 model which you show there

Hello all,

you want to have the Avro Lancaster in 4.12 & Modact 5.3 & HSFX 7.0.2, I'm right?

If yes:

http://www.derrierloisirs.fr/il2/bdd2012/

On the left side of the window go down and klick on "History SFX".

Unzip the folder and put the files in the "jsgmemods" folder.

Then activate the Lanc via JSGME.exe - that's all ...

wbr, Gerhard

Yes Bombkiller, thats what ive done and like said even with installing  like that, the game loads fine untill you go to QMB then eveything freezes and you have to exit the game.  This failure will not even show up in your error log, so it would be pointless posting that up here.  I have tried both ways of installing this with manually with the original from Ranwers and the version from derrierloisirs and as yet none have worked.  If anyone on here has the Lanc running in HSFX 7.2 4.12 then please en-lighten us to how you did it...thanks in advance.. Gary

Hey, Ranwers? I can't get this to work. VP then gave me a link with a fix, and now I can fly it just fine, but there's a slight problem:




It has the Liberator's engines for whatever bizzare reason. Running 4.12.2 (Modact 5.30).

I have seen this with a cowling and prop mod for the Lanc, I think...

Hi Nightfighter,

I have an HSFX 7.0.2 install and I got the Lancaster from PA_Dore's site flying, with the only problem of no bomb site (lower black screen at bombardier station).

I used the Lancaster HSFX package but I did not follow the file structure in that pack.  Because I was more used to using the DBW file structure, I created a MODS folder under my HSFX install and pointed JSGME and mods to it.  I created a 'Lancaster_HSFX7' folder, put it into JSGME, and copy the 3DO folder and all the class files to the 'Lancaster_HSFX7' folder.  I did not use anything in the \com, \gui or \i18n folder from PA_Dore's pack.   I used the standard HSFX 7 expert mode buttons and files, and my own customized air.ini with only the Lancaster and the P-47N mod besides stock HSFX planes installed.

Not sure this help but at least you know that the Lancaster pack from PA_Dore worked in some way.

Cheers,

[SAS~Malone]

i'm willing to bet that this is the problem.
Maty, you have some cowling and prop mod that is still referring to the old Lanc, which is obviously messing with it.
remove that, and your problem should be solved.
that's really all it can be...

[NIGHTFIGHTER]

ben_wh..you know, just when you think you know your way around this game someone comes along and shows you a new way around a problem that has you stumped.  At last thanks to you ive got the Lanc back Yaaay!!!, I can live with not having a bomb aimer or tail gunner....Its just great to have it back in the game...Many thanks mate and thanks for taking the trouble to help!!
