Ok, after looking further through the code, I've found the issue:

I use the Cockpit.xyz field to move my Schusszähler meshes around, but I forgot to reset that field after my edits. The Tinter uses the same field to set its position. Mea culpa.
The fix for this is as easy as can be though, I'll just have to edit one line of code to each of the Fw's Cockpit classes after the Schusszähler treatment.

Thanks for reporting this, it will be fixed in the next update.

thanks to you for your work. while for the different details of the instrumentation what can you tell me?

[SAS~Skylla]

Alright, I'm actually still working on the Schusszähler fix sporadically, so this Mod has completely changed to what we already have in UP3. A new release with the fix now (or in the next few weeks) wouldn't make much sense because of the overall project state being wip.

However, in order to fix this annoyance asap I've modified the old classes and will share them here for you to download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/kbwu6kakno0jb9a/%21Fw-190Schusszaehler_ReviTinterFix.7z

while for the different details of the instrumentation what can you tell me?

As far as I can see, you are talking about the speed instructions missing in the UP3 cockpit, correct? Well, I'd say someone forgot to import an additional mesh into the cockpit.

Exact. I also refer to some red and green points that usually the pilots reported outside the instruments for a sort of immediate visual reference. then in the lower center there is a counter which, however, I honestly do not know if it is correct.

[SAS~Skylla]

That ammo counter is definitely correct there, I don't know why they left it out in UP3. In fact I've been planning to include it again while working on the other ammo counters.
Maybe in the future ...

I noticed another function forgotten in the model of the fw190. the opening of the canopy with the command 'E'. it is no longer operational.

[Yamakaze]

It works flawlessly and I don't have any problems it is kinda a problem that the menu isn't fullscreen but the game is when I fly mission. Thank you for your great patch it is a lot of fun.
Just one thing I was playing on a server through Hyperlobby but the server is down now.. :/ Do you guys know a server where to play on ?

Greeting Yama

Hi Yama,

That's ~SAS~Ultrapack~ our Flying Ass Clowns Gameserver.
It's been up all the time but Hyperlobby crashed. Happens every other month or so
It's there in the Hyperlobby again now.
Should it disappear in future, you can always try and connect directly.
Address is sas1946.rocks:21010

Cheers!

Hello.

I was pleased to see that Ultrapack is still getting updated. I was less pleased to see that I can't for the life of me get this update to work.

1) I started with a fresh installation of IL2 Sturmovik 1946, which I confirmed to start and work.

2) I then patched the game up to 4.13.4. Again, I confirmed that it does indeed work.

3) I installed Ultrapack 3.0RC4. I confirmed it to work, I did not enable widescreen support & haken as I understand it messes things up.

4) After this I checked that #UP#_enable_UP3.0 is indeed the only thing enabled in JSGME.

5) With everything seeming green so far, I proceeded to install UP3 Patch Pack 301.exe

6) I enabled #UP#_Patch_Pack_301 in JSGME. My Activated Mods list now showed #UP#_enable_UP3.0 (in grey) and #UP#_Patch_Pack_301 (in black)

7) I ran IL-2 Selector.exe (which had had seemingly significant changes!) The information field stated "Current Game Settings: Ultrapack 3 or later. Maximum RAM size: 512 MB. Memory Strategy: Balanced." and the green field on the bottom of the window stated "RAM GOOD", the field next to it said "No HL found".

I closed the IL2 Selector and started il2fb.exe from the game folder.

I see the small splash screen pop up, but it disappears quite fast again. The game does not start. If I disable #UP#_Patch_Pack_301, I can play regular UP3.0RC4 just fine.

Any idea what might be causing this or is the problem just located between the chair and the keyboard?

I have a log as well, but it seems like pasting it here in the code window seems to flag something in it as an external link.

[SAS~Storebror]

UP3 is IL-2 1946 4.10.1, not 4.13.4.
That's the reason why your game doesn't work.

Cheers!
Mike

[Ensign_Steel]

Thank you for your swift reply, Mike!

I uninstalled and then reinstalled IL2. I upgraded the game up to 4.10.1m. After that I repeated steps 3 through 8, but I still have the same issue. UP3 RC4 works by itself, but not with the patch. I tried the Gog.com version as well and downgraded the installation to 4.10, then applied 4.10.1 superpatch, but I have the exact same issue.
Secondly, what does "No HL found" in IL2 Selector mean?

[SAS~Storebror]

The GOG game might need this patch applied to be mod compatible: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1531.0.html
Other than that, would you please be so kind to install the full latest Selector on top: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,16403.0.html
Afterwards, proceed with what is told in the last post of that Selector Thread...

If your game crashes before it can create any log output, please double-click "cmd.exe" in your IL-2 game folder, then enter

Code: [Select]

console 2>&1 | tee startuplog.txtand hit Enter.
This will create a file "startuplog.txt" in your IL-2 game folder where more detailed error information can be seen.
Additionally, you will see the same log output in the console window.

...and provide us the "startuplog.txt" contents please.

Cheers!
Mike

[Ensign_Steel]

I applied the direct2drive update as advised, then followed the instructions in the selector thread. The issue persists. The console didn't output much of anything, really.

startuplog.txt output:

  *** Library **** DT ****  Loaded *** 102
RTS Version 2.2
Core Version 2.0

(I apologize for not having this in a code window. The forum says "Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links." whenever I try to use the code feature.)

There's one more thing I can try if everything else fails - re-downloading everything and installing from my friend's IL2 DVD instead of my own.
