Installation Instructions for SAS Modact 6.00:Run the self-extracting installer, select your IL-2 4.13RC4m game folder as target for installation, let the installer do it's job, run the game and enjoy!
(Please note it is STRONGLY suggested you start with a fresh 4.13RC4m install before switching over to Modact 6.00)For those who still want to upgrade their existing Modact Installation, this is the way which worked for the developers, though it's still strictly unsupported and in case of trouble you
have to start with a fresh 4.13RC4m installation instead of asking for support (which you won't get in that case):
- Copy your customized files from #SAS folder/subfolders (just the ones you touched and modified after Modact installation) to a safe place. You might want to keep them for later reuse.
- Copy your customized files from SFS_AUTO folder to a safe place. You might want to keep them for later reuse.
- Copy your customized files from jsgmemods folder to a safe place. You might want to keep them for later reuse.
- Remove #SAS folder
- Remove SFS_AUTO folder
- Remove jsgmemods folder
- Install IL-2 Patch 4.13RC4m
- Install Modact 6.0
- Run Selector, apply and safe settings
- Run JSGME, enable mods of your choice
- Run il2fb.exe
For users who have an older Modact 4.0/3.0x and need to upgrade:Unfortunately we don’t have much good news for you. With any game version change, it brings multiple changes and it is difficult to predict all of the side-effects. Therefore as much as pain it is, we STRONGLY recommend you create a fresh Il-2 install, patched all the way to 4.13RC4m before installing Modact 6.00. For those still on Modact v3.06/v4.0, DBW 1.71 4.101m, HSFX 6 installs, they aren’t lost forever. We suggest porting your mods across one by one and seeing what happens.
You can try just patching your current install to 4.13RC4m and plonking this over the top but it is likely it won’t work. You should do this at your own risk!
