https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,51186.0.htmlInstallationLike with the excellent
IL2 1956 - The Jet Era, you will need to edit .ini files, so make a backup of these files before you begin the Project 85 install. Please read the installation section in the
Project 85 - Guide.pdf and if you do have any issues, you will need to post a log file so the community can assist.
Tips from the ‘beta’ testersSpecial thanks to all the Project 85 acceptance testers for their time and feedback, very much appreciated.
- If you find the aircraft carrier or runway steam catapults are not working, make sure you have entered the appropriate details in the catapults.ini (see installation notes). Also please search for any additional catapults.ini files in your mods folder and if you find some, add the extra Project 85 details as required.
- Like Jet Era aircraft, Project 85 aircraft use differential braking. So to turn Left, use Rudder Left Full & Brakes Left keys together.
- In some missions, it is recommended to set weapons salvo to 'Full Salvo'. Depending on your version of SAS Engine Mod, you will need to use either Weapon Salvo Size or Toggle Bomb Release mode key (check your IL2 ‘controls’ keyboard commands section for your particular option).
