I also tried using Stefans Fw-190 series but it did not work well for me.
So I installed Claymores version and I am very happy.
I know there is another newer model version by Barnesy, but I prefer Claymore´s version !
I am very happy.

What do you need for it to work well?
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE WORD and install this slowly. Take your time in doing it, because
there are ALOT of airplanes.

You can install ANY mod you want, as long as YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS how to do it
and
also READ ALL the posts on that Mod download section.     This is important.
I always read all the post made after the model
comes out, because I always discover new fixes or upgrades for the Mod 

If people do not read, they will never find happiness. The model already comes for free, you have to install it.

Thank you, Max.

But, there seems to be another factor with big modpack like this: priority relative to other mods. You were starting to touch on that. Where should these mods fit in the loading order?

Like I suggested before, read the posts and look closely at the instructions.

You will find the answers you seek in my Reply #853
It also has a screenshot posted of what my personal game looks like. so you can get an idea.

 THANK YOU Vpmedia for the Update patch Number 10 !!!  - on Reply #858 
Love the skin art !

Max, I'm looking at your image of your #SAS folder.

Basically, what I am getting is that you cluster mods of the same general type together. ("weapons", "aircraft", etc.)

I assume that you have heavily modified the names of folders from what comes in the download packages? I think I know what mods some of those are, but I'm not 100% sure because the folder names are  bit different than mine. For example, you haved append "_412" to some mods that I didn't think had full 4.12 versions, such as "Aircraft_B-10_Bombers_412". Mine is just "Martin B-10 Bombers" and has some known bugs in 4.12. Is this just naming on your part, or am I missing something?

I didnt add Engine mod or Fw 190 packs because of bugs I discovered. I made this pack without the help of a java coder, hence I had to play it safe and dont include anything problematic.

PATCH-10

[max_thehitman]

BoogaBooga, the reason VPMedia did not include some of the larger packages of mod-aircraft is because 
some still contain little bugs. They are not 100%. They need some more fixing.
The same thing for the modern Jets flying in this game version. The IL2-1946 was not really made for jets or
helicopter flying, and not even WW1 aircraft.
But over the past years some problems have been solved and some others remain to be fixed.

I like the idea VPmedia had in just using and placing into this package only the good working WW2 aircraft and
extra add-on mods. I agree with him.
It is less worry for a beginner to install the game and get right into the cockpit and start flying.

For those of us who would like to play around with the files and like to do a little modding, then you can start
adding everything else you see in this forum to your own personal game and give them a try.... But always consider the
possibility that they may not always work 100%.
This game is always in constant evolution!  and I like that idea also.

The reason I have been writing a "_412" in my personal game folders as you see in the screenshot, is for me to know which
version the mod works in, or if the mod-airplane came from "_410" or "_409" game version.
Some do work in this 4.12 game version and some do not. They are not 100% trouble-free. They still need fixes.
It is a risk I am taking personally with my game, but it will not break my game. I can always remove them if I get a game crash and
I cannot find a solution to the problem.
It is for me to test them and for me to play around with the files and try to fix some things in them if I can.

The "weapons" package folders you see are already made available here at SAS-1946 and they do come in a bundle folder. Those
are needed for certain airplanes, if you want the extra new bombs and stuff. It only works for some aircraft, but not all.

Read the instructions when you download a mod-airplane and you will see what extra things you need to add to your game.

By the way,
I have just installed VPmedia VP-Modpack UPDATE Nº 10 and it looks FANTASTIC!
Great new selection of default skins for our favorite aircraft and some we hardly fly, but I will now that they include some
fancy looking skins.
Great skin art! Love them all.

Thank you VPmedia !

[printenduevel]

Thank you very much for this great mod.

I have a question, is there somebody who have made some online experiences with this mod.
Some friends and me fly every monday and we are using 4.12.2 with HSFX 7.03 and some Mod.
Now we consider to change to VPMedia-Mod.
Please let me know.

Thank you.

Dumb question on the way: Does patch 10 get unzipped into the game folder like the others? The only reason I ask, is that patches 1-9 specify unzipping to the game folder, but patch 10 said nothing. I just assume it installs like all the rest?

[SAS~Storebror]

The simple answer is: Yes.
At least it worked for me that way.

Best regards - Mike

Stupid question, im just got the game on Steam and installed it, my game version is now 4.12.2m. So do i need to download and install SAS IL-2 4.12.2m Mega Patch before install VP Modpack? Thank.

[asheshouse]

No. Just install vomodpack straight on your 4.12.2 version.
But worth making a back up copy of your game folder first.
