Normandie, these new textures that come in the download will replace the old ones inside the Murmansk folder (I believe this is the sequence:  Maps/_Tex/land/winter/Murmansk).  I think you had it right.

Hey VP,

ahh, a few things about the VP pack that are very unsettling. First the AircraftHotKeys_LevelStabiliser_4.12.2m doesn't work, which to my way of thinking is
critical for a flight of any duration. I do not like using auto-pilot as much as the level shift auto pilot. I've tried shift L or alt L, either way no function? However it
does work in two other versions of Il2. Secondly, about a month ago I resigned myself to the fact that Claymores Fw190 pack would not work with the VP pack
after installing it 5 times, and it just would not work! SO I thought, fine, the stock Fw190s with the fixed cowling don't look too bad, I'll accept that. That is until
I did a scramble flight in a Fw190A-8 and noticed that the Fw190 had SQUARE tires!, stock tires!!!

SO I d/l these files..
 #_Nou model de rodes_V8,
4.12 stock_fix cowling engine & prop
 Neew_Wheels_and rims

I installed as per instructions (4 times!) and STILL the Fw190s have square, stock tires!??!

Here is what I have in my SAS folder...

#00_3dFix_CowlingsEnginesProps_412\3do\plane

#00_3dFix_Mod_Wheels_412\3do\plane

I put the required textures in the respective 'plane' folder and nothing happens?!

From the texture files folder I found 'to change the wheel styles on Fw190 or Me109.txt'
In this file it mentions how to change the textures for the Fw190 or Me109 by opening
WheelDisc
and WheelTire
I did NOT find ANY of these two files anyway? I do see the textures but no text or .mat files
to change, and I did search my Il2 folder. I see NO Fw190 folder with any files like that! 

What am I doing wrong??!!

(Also just FYI, I ran a classcheck.exe, and in the doublon.txt there was a huge amount
of class file conflicts! Should I post that .txt file here? Perhaps that is part of the problem?)
(many of the conflicting class files looked like this...\#SAS\00_BF109_Ultimate_Pack_v4\8CE48BD81888108E)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Here are the instructions for tire changes from the textures folder....

-z_To_Change_the_Wheel_Styles_on_FW-190_or_ME-109.txt.....

To change the wheels on the FW-190 models (or also the ME-109/BF-109)
Go to the folder where the model is stored in,

example...
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#SAS\#00_Fw-190_FamilyPack_Stefan_v3_412\3do\plane\Fw-190A-3(Beta)


Open the files...

WheelDisc
WheelTire

and choose to write the skin name... (Choose only one)

TextureName ../TEXTURES/wheels_ww.tga    (for the round holes style)

or

TextureName ../TEXTURES/wheels.tga    (for the flat covered style)

or

check out the little skins in this folder for other styles
Named...

Wheels_late

Wheels_Smooth

THIS IS MOSTLY DONE TO CHANGE THE ORIGINAL GAME Bf-109 or Fw-190 airplane wheels.
It can also work doing it to other aircraft.

I included the Fw-190 pack in the beta but unfortunately I had to remove it because of a java error. I tried again recently but had even worst results. I came to the conclusion that it probably needs the SAS engine mod+common utils and all FW releated 3d upgrades to be removed.

[bestekampfpilot58]

Hey Vp,

I do not have the claymore Fw190 pack installed anymore..I removed that about a month ago.
So, why(?) an I seeing stock (square) Fw190 tires when I d/l Jeronimo's new wheel pack, and
the Cowl and prop fixes? Makes no sense that it will not work? For some reason the game is not
reading the texture files for the wheels?   
Stumped...

[vpmedia]

I dont think that the Fw-190 wheels were updated by PA_Jeronimos pack. I checked the default sfs files which comes with the modact (jsgmemods\#SAS_New Mod Wheels by PA_Jeronimo\SFS_AUTO\...) and it does not have any Fw 190 files. I can add the solution of this problem to my to-do list.

[bestekampfpilot58]

Thanks Vp!,

At least now I know that the error doesn't come from me fat fingering various and sundry files!! I'll try and putz around with some of the
contents of Claymores pack, who knows?, maybe I can cut and paste some thing together that MIGHT work? Any clues on that auto level
auto pilot not working? Just FYI I put Barnesy's new Zero and Wildcat into VP_Modpack, they run great!! Sadly his Fw190 doesn't work that
well in your pack..
Thanks again for your reply. If I get something that works with the stock Fw190 tires I'll give you a heads up..
(BTW, despite these set-backs I REALLY like your Mod-pack!!) 

Horrido!

Dear VP

My connection is slow, I can't seed a 12Gb torrent.

Hi,

I've downloaded the files from Mediafire multiple times and tried 7zip and winrar, but it allways says it cant open the vp modpack.7z?
Any idea why this could happen? All the filesizes are correct.
Thanks!

I am sorry I arrived a little late to help out bestekampfpilot58
but I will suggest for you to set up your game in a way that some "Mods" will load first before
other mods. This is very important.

The two PA_Jeronimo´s Mods.... Better-Wheels and Engine-Cowling Mods... should be loaded first before the
FW-190 mega-pack by Claymore, or any other mod-aircraft which use these better 3d-fixes and new wheels.
 Those 2 folders must be placed ABOVE the other folders.

Also , many other mods must be placed in a way inside your #SAS folder , that they load first before others, so there will no
file conflicts with other mods. (Always read the instructions which come with the downloads)
This will also help out in checking to see inside each mod folder as to what file may be interfering with a new
mod airplane if they start having problems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only way I can explain this better is to show you a screenshot of the way I have my game set up.
My personal game 2 folders for the PA_Jeronimo´s mods are named...

#00_3dFix_CowlingEnginesProps_412
#00_3dFix_Mod_Wheels_412

Keep in mind that I am using the VP-Modpack, but in the last couple of months I have included into it
many other new mods and also many new jets.
So far, I have everything working very good and rarely have
any file problems with any of them. If a problem does occur, I can always check the error-log file and look inside
as to what file is making the problem. But they are all working great.

Hi, thanks but like i said, when i try to extract it says cannot open, i am following this guide.
When checking the file with the SFV that it only shows the .7z file.
Any other ideas?
