I like HSFX very essential, good sounds and run smooth and there was a lot of attention to the Flight Models. A pity that nobody took over the development

So last attempt I have attached a clean version of the *.ini files together with the 7.03 buttons.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/pu23t2cuz9rrgbl/STD.7z/file

Just create a Mods folder and then extract the STD folder there. Disable everything in JSGME except History mod and launch the game

This should launch a completely clean HSFX 7.03 with no reason to crash.

Be aware that the buttons is the normal mode so Expert mode needs to be disabled.

Hey Frankiek,

thank you so much for not given up!!!
I like HSFX, too.

I tried your method - without success.

First I copied and REPLACED the folders / files you send me in my "Files" folder, as there where exactly these files included.




I also tried the way of creating a "Mods" folder and fill in your files there,



In each case the game stopped loading at 60%.
I made sure, that only History FX Mod was activated.

60% crash means that you are missing a flight model this is so strange as you should have the original air.ini with the original buttons I would need to see your log please

How much memory do you have you selected in the Selector?

Map building generally needs more memory, but when IL-2 crashes because of that you usually get a out of memory error in the log file.

I usually use 1024MB on "Balanced" when working with maps and sometimes 1152MB on "Conservative" on larger maps.

If he is using the standard HSFX703 he won't have the selector but just the il2fb.exe and the wrapper that are activated with history mode

I believe he can use Ivan's .exes which are included in the HSFX package :
see HSFXGameFolder/HSFXV7 Tools and Read Mes/Ivans.exes

Good Luck

The thing is, that it runs with expert mode!
So it shouldn't be a problem with missing planes, when the game is only on hsfx, should it?

But as I told I'm going to change to BAT, anyway ... so why bother any longer?

Thanks to you all for your attempts to help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes this is quite strange as expert mode overwrite only the buttons, ships.ini, technics.ini and the file fb_hfx3do24.sfs that is the file that contains the weapon loadout so maybe the "normal version of this file got lost or corrupted  and so when you take out the expert mode the game suddenly miss the cod files. So please download the file below, deactivate expert mode in JSGME and copy this file in your main game folder

Hi Frankiek,

I tried your suggestion and replaced the fb_hsfx3do24.sfs file.

Now teh game runs without any mods in 4.12.2 (so a little progress).
But after adding ONLY History Mod, the game launches and tells me, that the version is now Expert Mode!?
Even though I did not activate Expert Mode in JSGME...

Well at least we know that the base is sound. I am sure that you got a mix up in JSGME between history mod and e the expert mode. Expert mode change the weapon loadouts (file fb_hsfx3do24.sfs) a good number of classes and the flight model(buttons)  maybe at a certain point you updated HSFX forgetting to disable everything in JSGME. It happened to me so many time and that's why I keep everything in duplicate  so that I can compare.

I suppose you where right!

But as I want to change to BAT-Mod, and the creation of a Map Builder out of BAT was succesful and I fly HSFX allways with expert mode it's not neccessary for me to get a "new" HSFX" version.

Again:
Thanks a lot for your help!!!!
